Can I pinpoint the EXACT location of my fans using a single image?

A few weeks ago I successfully and swiftly identified the exact Bali swimming pool that a random Instagram model was snapped, following a request from an alleged victim of a catfish. I did this using a mixture of Geoguessr knowledge, Google Earth and Google's search engine. Following some dialogue with my impressed patreons, an idea was spawned. Why don't I make a series out of it where I try to successfully identify where my patreons/fans are using the small amounts of information that can be seen in the background? Here's the result.

Sometimes fans stalk youtubers.
Tom just pulled the ultimate uno reverse card

I can't believe I'm spending my Friday night watching a man on YouTube researching Canadian cantilever truss bridges

You know it's getting serious when he pulls out Paint

18:19 “oh jesus i’m in brazil” is the best reaction to being in brazil i’ve ever heard

[fernandacouto]

"oh jesus i'm in brazil" -everyone at some point in their lives

[Xyles]

Imagine sending him a photo of yourself standing in front of his house

PLEASE GET HIM TO READ THIS, THIS MIGHT BE USEFUL
You have to draw the line vertically down compared to the horizon on the image, because you observe the map vertically. The edges or the orientation of the image do not matter in this case. If you want to pinpoint the position of your perspective on a plane (aka. the map), your two reference points on the horizontal plane should form a vertical plane of possiple positions in 3D space, or a line of possible positions on the map, but you can only create this plane if you know what is upwards. (You get this information from the horizon, if the image is tilted.) If you see two objects separated only vertically in real life, you will be able to draw a line throug them on a map, that will include your position, but only if you look down on on the map vertically.
This works even if your digital map includes 3d features, but again, only if both the line within your perspective, and your perspective of the map is vertical.

Also: it doesn’t matter where on the image are the two reference points, as long as they’re vertically separated.

Also also: since you drew your line to the left, the actual position of the guy would have been not on the hilltop, but on the route on the side.

22:40 A photogrammetrist. And the technique is to use vertical lines across the photograph, and plot them on the map. They will converge at a single point.

Would love to see people submit coordinate data for their actual location along with the photo so you can confirm it straight away. I know that's hard with holiday photos, but for people submitting photos taken specifically for it, that'd be fun (and basically you can get distance accuracy results at the end too) :D

18:18 "Oh Jesus, I'm in Brazil"

Happens to the best of us

[Tentakulus.]

If this guy was a spy, an ninja or a stalker we would be living in fear at all time. He is not just powerful enough to cross a country in a straight line, he can also find any person with just one photo.

"I've seen the unblurred version ;)"

Best pick-up line 😂

[KentuckyFriedChildren]

**Tries to find angle photo was taken**

Google Earth: You're going to brazil

[OskarMarszalek]

S tier content - Was absolutely creasing at this vid and the extreme methods GW went through to pinpoint

[puh]

" Oh jesus, I am in Brazil"

That's what I say every morning

[gui]

As a brazillian, I laughed so much when he got pulled into a black hole and ended up in Brazil at 18:09

"I'm not the best at googling"
*finds a list of steel truss cantilever bridges in the exact country he was looking for*

[iau]

Having it be the only bridge without a photo was just too good

[meganh]

I got so excited when you found the bridge! The other two were good too but especially the first one :)

[Trashbag-Sounds]

You want to make the line straight down from your point. Orthogonal to the horizon. The middle of the photo is changing with your rotation.
