The super macro guessing game (2)

[Daniel2000]

definitely a duracell.
+1 !

[Mike Bell]

Mike, by chance did you use this before? ;)
I think I know what it is, but have been wrong at least once before. :p
You could be right Jim. I have this massive folder of macros and I used to note down when I used one for SMGG ..... but I've lost the piece of paper! :( If I did, it was so long ago that only us 'old timers' would remember it! ;)

Looks like one of those old 1970's "door knob covers", but that seems just too obscure!
no

Looks like a battery to me...
CORRECT!

Hey, this 'old timer' still has his memory (or parts of it anyway) :lol:
Besides, I am just a young pup. :p

[SingingSabre]

This one shouldn't be too hard!

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ipod?

[SingingSabre]

Not an iPod.

[Soc]

A mirror!?!?!

[-Pleiades-]

part of a coin?

[SingingSabre]

Not a mirror. Not a coin -- but that's a tiny bit closer.

I'm going to bed. Guess away and I'll respond in 8-10 hours (I hope I sleep well!)!

[Skrim17]

watch?

[SnowManZ]

I don't know how you see an Ipod here. Its gold.

I also thought it was a watch when I looked at it.

[Mom27andblessed]

a medallion or pendant?

[SingingSabre]

Its gold./QUOTE]

Indeed it is. Well, sort of.

[QUOTE=Mom27andblessed;5217034]a medallion or pendant?

Sort of, but not quite.

[Spidy]

Pocket watch

[Mom27andblessed]

keychain?

[Soc]

I don't know how you see an Ipod here. Its gold.

I also thought it was a watch when I looked at it.
Well I though I saw the hold button with the mirror back side, and maybe he had done photoshop work or something

[SingingSabre]

Not a pocket watch or a keychain.

Medallion or pendant was closest...you can wear this around your neck.

[tomd]

"I've fallen and I can't get Up" call button?

[DanteCaspian]

"I've fallen and I can't get Up" call button?

:lol:Been awhile since I have heard that reference!

[Mom27andblessed]

a choker?

[SingingSabre]

Not a button.

Not a choker. Something gold and dangly.

[-Pleiades-]

one of those 1 ounce gold bullion pendants?

[Kim Shaw]

Yeah.. I'm with you, looks like a gold ingot.

[-Pleiades-]

ingot! That's what I was trying to think of!

[SingingSabre]

Not gold ingot, but "gold" is in the name, despite it not being real gold.

[Daniel2000]

a gold medal?

[Mom27andblessed]

an eyeglass chain?

[Mike Bell]

Namebadge?

[monty28428]

something more like a police shield or firemans badge ??

[SingingSabre]

a gold medal?

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you...was sleeping, you know!

It's yours, Daniel 2000!

[Daniel2000]

I'll try with this one
I don't think it will be hard, I'm in great need of a macro lens... :confused: ...or at least extention tubes...

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/Daniel2000/_MG_4036.jpg

up to you for the next one

[SolidxSnake]

ooh yay i got one for once :)

I'll post one up soon

edit: here it is. Have fun :)

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll284/SolidxSnake13224/IMG_7979smgg.jpg

[Mom27andblessed]

butterfly wing....in ice?

[stardrop]

Amber on ice?

[SolidxSnake]

nope and nope.

I'll give a vague clue or two in a day or two if people seem stumped.

[Mom27andblessed]

a fish?

[Kim Shaw]

I have absolutley no idea what this is, I just wanted to say, I love this game ..... I'm rubbish at it as I never guess any, but I love it all the same!!!

[SingingSabre]

Tortoise shell?

[-Pleiades-]

some piece of jewellery?

[SingingSabre]

A glass pipe?

[jr#8]

stone(polished)

[Daniel2000]

it look like melted glass on something... :confused:

[Mike Bell]

Melted sugar - like on a creme brulee?

[Skrim17]

eyeglass frames

[Chet]

Tree sap

[SolidxSnake]

Nope to everything listed. Hint coming later tonight possibly :)

[Chet]

Jello?

[bbulldog]

an eye

[SolidxSnake]

nope and nope.

in the picture, everything is in solid form.

[Chet]

Glue or varnish

[Mom27andblessed]

hairbrush handle? or comb or ....handle of something?

[SolidxSnake]

Nope... the brownish transparent stuff is on the same surface as the silver stuff to the left... the only thing that isn't is the white background

[SolidxSnake]

C'mon, one more wrong guess and I'll give another vague hint.

[SolidxSnake]

Last hint for the night:

Object that the brown/silver is resting on is completely inorganic... the silver is also inorganic, the brown... I believe to be the product of an organism.

I'll accept 2 answers, possibly 3 or 4 if they're specific enough :)

[tomd]

Is the brown item: Syrup?

[SolidxSnake]

Is the brown item: Syrup?

Nope. It isn't edible, and at room temperature is completely solid, albeit soft.


Looks like I gave another hint :)

[Chet]

Honey

[Daniel2000]

is it soldering tin with residual resin?

[Chet]

Soap

[Mom27andblessed]

Can the picture be reposted for us 50 rpp'ers?

[Daniel2000]

here is the post of the present pic
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=5227405&postcount=1534

[Chet]

Can we see the rest of it? I think it was cropped wrong.

[Mom27andblessed]

Amber handled knife?

[SolidxSnake]

Can we see the rest of it? I think it was cropped wrong.

Nope that's how I wanted to crop it.

is it soldering tin with residual resin?

Hit the nail on the head. I was looking for "soldering iron" or "the tip of a soldering iron" but I think that's close enough.

The brown is the rosin-flux of my rosin-core solder... the silver is the solder itself:

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll284/SolidxSnake13224/IMG_7979.jpg

Daniel2000, you're up

[Chet]

Nope that's how I wanted to crop it.





LOL, that was a joke.

Very nice, never would had thought it and I use a soldering iron a couple times a month.

[Skrim17]

Nice one!

[SolidxSnake]

LOL, that was a joke.

Very nice, never would had thought it and I use a soldering iron a couple times a month.

Yeah, I used it earlier last week and saw the tip with all the molten rosin on it... and i didn't clean it and waited for it to cool down to take some macro pics :)

[Daniel2000]

I will leave it for the next contender now
I love gessing what they are but not equiped to make them... :(
soon... soon I will... ;)

[SolidxSnake]

You're just as equipped as me... I use kit lens and my 20D + vivitar 283 (not necessary). I pop the lens on the camera, select the aperture i want, hold the DOF preview button and unmount the lens while stopped down... then I position my subject, and hold the lens in front of the camera reversed. Doesn't allow for zooming/focus change (I leave focus at infinity) but it allows for great macro shots with nothing other than camera and cheap lens.

Interesting technique. I tried at first using my 28-135mm lens no luck at 72mm glass is way to large. So I tried my kit lens and with some playing was able to capture a couple images that look ok as a thumbnail but we poor at 100% crop. Does not help I'm trying hand held in low light with a 1-1/2 shutter speed, but I do see hope if I use plenty of light maybe a tripod and lots of trial and error. Thanks for the tip, will probably buy a reverse mount hub for $7 and see how that works also.

[archaeoman]

Anyone mind if I post one since it's been 17 hours?

Cool, I will have something up within a few hours, I need to find a bit of time to shoot.

[SolidxSnake]
