The super macro guessing game (2)

[-Pleiades-]

glazed ham?

nope

Peach Fuzz?

nope, not a fruit

Is it a type of candy? like spun sugar?

spun sugar yes.....now think of a dessert with spun sugar around it

raw honey?

nope, but just as sweet

[mrgtturbo]

I'm not sure if I'm welcome to play or not, being new here and all. (New like... 1st post new). I've been a bit of an observer.. nothing more. :oops:
So um... hello everyone.

I'm not sure why, but the photo makes me think of skinned candy apple.

[-Pleiades-]

feel free to play, everyone is welcome!

not a skinned candy apple

[ABrownPhoto]

cotton candy?

[-Pleiades-]

no, think dessert, or even wedding.

[Dave.H]

Flan?

[AZTBS]

is it a cake?

[mrgtturbo]

Incase it was against the rules to cruise google looking at photos of desserts and stuff, I will leave my new answer filled with holes...
P _ _ _ _ _ _ R _ _ _ _ ?

[-Pleiades-]

Flan?

nope

is it a cake?

not really

Incase it was against the rules to cruise google looking at photos of desserts and stuff, I will leave my new answer filled with holes...
P _ _ _ _ _ _ R _ _ _ _ ?

so, so close.

There's another name for it when you do it a little differently......

[mrgtturbo]

Since I guess I was not cheating... "Croquembouches"?

[-Pleiades-]

yep, you got it!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3139/2296295178_a0251915e0.jpg

your turn to post something up now!

[SnowManZ]

who the hell could possibly know that. Weak.

[-Pleiades-]

mrgtturbo did.

[mrgtturbo]

I'd love to, but unfortionatly I've not much more than my operating system installed at the momment, (just reformated). Besides I'm still a little confused to what shooting in macro is. lol A Kodak easy-share was the best camera I ever had until about a month ago when I bought a Canon 40D, (after months of planning on a Nikon D80 I desided the Canon 40D was worth the extra bucks). I've been reading everything I come across, watching tutorials, ect. Some things just have not yet been covered clearly... (like fstops).
Having the extra cash to buy this camera, extra lens, filters, ect... was like a life-long dream come true. Now I'm watching for classes. Playing with the shutter speed, apretchure <sp>, and everything I can. It has all taught me much, and I've taken some photos I am very proud of, but I've seen the photos on this forum... thus I'd rather pass for the momment. :(

I'll be better prepaired for the next one I get right... if I am still permitted to play. :oops:

[-Pleiades-]

There you go Snowmanz, here's your chance, you post one up you don't deem as 'weak'.

turbo, hang around here and you'll be a pro in no time (and a lot poorer). If you have any questions shoot me a pm and I'll try and answer them best I can or point you in the direction of a good explanation!

[mrgtturbo]

Thank you so much. :D

[mrgtturbo]

Did everyone quit? :(

[SolidxSnake]

Umm... there's no new image. Isn't it yours?

[mrgtturbo]

It was offered away... now I guess it's up for grabs.

[SolidxSnake]

I'm tempted to put up a pic... I'll post one up if there's not one up already by the time I'm home from school tomorrow.

[Matoch]

yep, you got it!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3139/2296295178_a0251915e0.jpg

your turn to post something up now!


So now that I've seen it. What is it? I've never heard of this or seen this before.

Thanks,

James

[quote=BearLeeAlive;5039794]Croquembouche (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croquembouche)[/quote

Yes, but what is Croquembouche? ... I don't know either? :confused:

[AZTBS]

BearLeeAlive's post was a link to more info for you. I have never heard of it before either, but it sure sounds tasty. :D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croquembouche

[Mom27andblessed]

sounds kinda like the cream puffs I make...never tried them with caramel tho...just filled with whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate


I'm intweeged!

[-Pleiades-]

they're really nice. These ones I filled with custard. You can also dip them in chocolate and then they're called profiterolls (sp?)

[SolidxSnake]

Too busy to put up a pic, someone else!

[CanonPhoto87]

Here Is One....

Cotton wool?

[elysium]

Looks like a carpet or towel.

[CanonPhoto87]

Looks like a carpet or towel.

No question.

Elysium, If your going to get picky, I guess Tungsten.

[elysium]

Fat too easy. Your turn.

[elysium]

No question.

Elysium, If your going to get picky, I guess Tungsten.
LOL. It was the only thing within bedreach. My room is full of dust bunnies and consoles. Nothing more interesting than that. :oops:

[Daniel2000]

I leave it to somebody else
I have nothing good to post for now

[BearLeeAlive]

Pistachio
Crap, that is what I meant to say. :lol:

I had used the same thing HERE (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=4677596&postcount=913) :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

Talk abut mixed nuts, eh? :p

[Chandler.]

Yeah Jim I remember when you used that. Being the sly SMGG'er that you are, I was surprised that you didn't guess it. Mixed nuts indeed.

I'll get one up in a few.

[Chandler.]

Guess away:

[Chandler.]

Looks like food....or a Pancreas.

[BearLeeAlive]

Rice Krispy

[Skrim17]

newp

[AZTBS]

looks like a wet cheerio

[-Pleiades-]

one of those chinese prawn chips?

[Skrim17]

I'll give it to Tiffanie, it is a honey nut cheerio!

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/skrim/nextone/20080315-IMG_0948.jpg

[AZTBS]

LOL!! I was guessing because I tried taking the same macro shot for this game earlier and did not like how it came out. That's the only reason I recognized it. OK, now I have to get a shot. Be right back.

[AZTBS]

This is a strange crop, but it is the first thing I could think of:

[SnowManZ]

some sort of electric part?

[AZTBS]

Not an electric part

[DanteCaspian]

A bone, perhaps from a uncooked spare rib?

[AZTBS]

No, it is not meat or bone

[Chandler.]

Looks plastic. Is it a handle to a tool?

[AZTBS]

It is not plastic, nor is it a handle

[Skrim17]

zipper

[AZTBS]

not a zipper

[Daniel2000]

a hash tray
or maybe a candle?

[AZTBS]

It is a type of candle, do you know what it is? Here is a slightly wider view:

[Lawrie B]

Roman candle?

Off to bed, night all

[AZTBS]

Ok, here is the whole image, it is a Glade Scented Oil Candle. Daniel2000 got it, so take it away! Or anyone really, lets have a new image. :D

[Daniel2000]

I leave it to the next one to post an image
I just reinstalled my computer, so no photoshop yet to threat any image... :(

[R_Metzel]

Here is one.....should be easy for you pro guessers....
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3191/2343576657_073c26f946_o.jpg

[AZTBS]

Is it a basket? Or wicker furniture?

[SnowManZ]

yarn, maybe a knit sweater?

[R_Metzel]

Is it a basket? Or wicker furniture?
see....easy as pie.....it is a basket my wife makes for easter for friends and family out of string.....

[PhotoBanker]

oh, a weird stringy egg shapped land o lakes cocoa hold

[SingingSabre]

I'm bored.

Been two days...

This shouldn't be terribly tough!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/SingingSabre/POTN%20stuff/SMGG321.jpg

[Daniel2000]

a piece of velcro?

[davo_robbo]

sweatband?.. the white bit looks like the sweatband kinda texture..

[SnowManZ]

a super out of focus white thing?

[DanteCaspian]

a super out of focus white thing?

:lol: I think you got it!

[SingingSabre]

Not velcro. Not a sweatband. Not white. One part of it is in focus...

I'll post a larger crop tomorrow.

[RandyMN]

Are there bubbles in that picture?

[SingingSabre]

No bubbles, but some clumps.

[RandyMN]

They look like fish eggs

[SingingSabre]

Not fish eggs, good guess, though.

It's not an organic material.

[SolidxSnake]

I have a feeling it's a moon-pie sort of cake/snack etc... though that seems way off.

[SingingSabre]

Not food. But if you eat a moon-pie, this helps you get rid of it.

[jr#8]

Alka-seltzer

[SingingSabre]

Haha, not alka seltzer. This is not something you eat. Larger crop coming in 8-10 hours.

[jr#8]

Some type of pill or powder

[ilmk]

Aquarium bottom?
Side image of carpet?

[webcrawlur]

I think one of the clues is " it helps you get rid of moon pie", right?

[SolidxSnake]

I think one of the clues is " it helps you get rid of moon pie", right?
yep

I think it's some sort of drink.

edit: maybe mouthwash or toothpaste? some sort of weird (and ironically not so hygienic looking) dental hygiene products?

[SingingSabre]

Not pills or powder.

Not of an aquarium of carpet.

It does help get rid of moon pie, and the effects of it on you.

Can't drink it, and you certainly don't want it in your mouth.

A larger crop is coming if my internet would start working.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/SingingSabre/POTN%20stuff/SMGG321crop2.jpg

[jr#8]

some type of cleaning device

[SingingSabre]

Not a cleaning device.

[SingingSabre]

Here's a hint, this object helps power vehicles.

[DanteCaspian]

Residual battery acid.

[SingingSabre]

Wrong kind of power (not residual battery acid)!

[SolidxSnake]

gas is the only thing i can think of that powers a vehicle... oil doesn't power it but i guess it does help...

i'm officially stumped :(

[SingingSabre]

There are many more vehicles than just cars. This doesn't so much power a vehicle as transfers power within a vehicle!

[elysium]

Oil I would say?

[Lawrie B]

Hydrogen?

[DanteCaspian]

Where is the larger crop?:rolleyes:

[SolidxSnake]

Where is the larger crop?:rolleyes:

...9 posts above yours?

[BearLeeAlive]

Are we going to get any clues, or something? This one is dragging out a bit. I finally get some time to play, and I have no chance of discerning what the photo is. :(

[Mike Bell]

I'm so clueless I don't even know what 'moon pie' is! :(

EDIT: OK .... I Googled it. Hmmmm...... Looks like something we have in the UK except we call 'em Wagon Wheels! Go figure!:rolleyes:

Still haven't a clue about the pic!

[BearLeeAlive]

I'm so clueless I don't even know what 'moon pie' is! :(
Mike, is that really you. You are even more scarce around here than me these days I`m with you, not a clue as to what a moon pie is either. :confused: :rolleyes: :lol:

[SolidxSnake]

Mike, is that really you. You are even more scarce around here than me these days I`m with you, not a clue as to what a moon pie is either. :confused: :rolleyes: :lol:

chocolate covered cake cookie with a marshmellow center. good stuff :)

[BearLeeAlive]

chocolate covered cake cookie with a marshmellow center. good stuff :)
Thanks, but not I am even more confused.

It is inorganic and helps get rid of the effects of Moon Pies which are edible. :confused: :rolleyes: :p

[Mom27andblessed]

some sort of shoe keeps going thru my mind...

roller skate maybe?

[SolidxSnake]

some sort of shoe keeps going thru my mind...

roller skate maybe?


Good imagination, that makes sense.

[SingingSabre]

Roller skate is closer!

This is a part of a drivetrain to a vehicle. It connects the source of the power to the wheels.

Most Americans own at least one of these vehicles, however few actually utilize them. Should gas prices get much higher, I bet more of them will.

Figure out the vehicle (think: Amsterdam, Portland, and the newest form of public transit in Paris), and the macro part will come easily!

[Chandler.]

Bicycle

[SingingSabre]

Chandler, what part of it (now that I gave it away!)?

[Chandler.]

dérailleur?

[Chandler.]

...or chain?

[SingingSabre]

Chain!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/SingingSabre/POTN%20stuff/IMG_1975.jpg

It's all yours, Chandler!

[Chandler.]

That was a great macro.

Have at it:

bottom of a bottle?

[elysium]

Plastic bottle, underside

[Chandler.]

I definitely have to work on my macro selection. I once posted one in the old thread that took over 200 guesses to get. Those 200 guesses took 4 hours. That was when SMGG was in its prime. These days my macros suck.

http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/3132/september10412oi8.jpg

Take it away Subaru.

[jr#8]

Credit Card

[-Pleiades-]

nope

[kab8715]

looks like some kind of reflective material with number/letter on it. Maybe something like what you would see on a firefighter's jacket?

[bara03]

Numberplate?

[ilmk]

A reflective panel from something. Perhaps a sticker for a license plate?

[Spidy]

It looks like a strip magnet. Maybe a refrigerator magnet?

[Kim Shaw]

Some sort of metal foot pedal ?

[tomd]

a dial of some sort?

[-Pleiades-]

Yes, but not a fireman's jacket.

nope.

Reflective panel yes, licence plate no.

nope

[SolidxSnake]

I have a feeling it's the reflective plates on the back of a car... with the car's logo or emblem on it. The plates that may run across the rear of the car like on older camrys (where the logo was imprinted on the plate and it spanned the width of the car)

[ilmk]

Ok so by what had said it's a reflective panel on a jacket.... but what jacket. Hmm...

Dr
nurse
runner
winter jacket
police
swimmer
fall jacket
Um... I think that's all I got. LOL :lol:

And I think the number is 7? maybe a racers jacket

[SolidxSnake]

It's on a jacket? If you picked that up on his post prior to mine, he could be saying that its not on a jacket at all, but just said "fireman's jacket" because that is what was referred to.

[SingingSabre]

Street sign?

[Chandler.]

I collect signs, and if the reflective material is the same that's on my signs, then the black section is about .5" wide. I've got no clue as to what is exactly.

[ilmk]

You're right of course.

You got it!

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s130/KinnonBellPhotography/cartrip3-2-1.jpg

Can anyone else see the humour in the name of this street?

[SingingSabre]

Woot!

I don't get the humor...but I'm a dumb American!

Somebody else should take the macro, I'm not going to be home much tomorrow (have quite a few birthday festivities planned!).

[Skrim17]

as in bogen manfrotto?

[-Pleiades-]

lol, no. Bogan here is like a redneck in the USA. I just thought it was funny that there was a Bogan st, there's also a place called Bogan Catchment, funny suff.

[SingingSabre]

Ah! That is funny!

It'd be like living at the corner of Douche and Bag, or Chav street!

I think I know what it is, but have been wrong at least once before. :p

Looks like one of those old 1970's "door knob covers", but that seems just too obscure!

[SingingSabre]

Looks like a battery to me...

A copper top maybe? ;)

[SnowManZ]

definitely a duracell.
