The super macro guessing game (2)

[Old chap]

End of a coton bud ?

[Chet]

Nope

[Old chap]

Single rice krispie ?

[whitedog]

The gripping side of a pair of work gloves or garden gloves?

[whitedog]

Time for a HINT ???

[Chet]

What do you mean a hint. I've already posted the exact answer.

[tomd]

..or vise versa.

[lavanut]

OK, so I saw screwdriver was guessed, and it wasn't that but "in the area".

So what about the nubby grip of a nut driver or changeable bit driver?
or, T-handle allen wrench?

[Chet]

Nope. Put the squeeze on Tom, he'll help you out.

[fiveFPS]

it's the rubber grip in between the vice!

[lavanut]

Nope. Put the squeeze on Tom, he'll help you out.

I saw the posts on vices, but I thought you'd just wandered off on a tangent like with the Big Bird stuff.

I blame my guess on brain overload from too much work and not enough play lately! I'll see if I can remedy that soon...

[Chet]

Can someone just say the one word answer?

[Mom27andblessed]

VISE!!!!!


but I don't have anything to post. Just couldn't stand to see you hanging there squirming anymore Chet! :)

[Chet]

AHHHH NO!

[jr#8]

tweezers

[Chet]

Yes vise

[tomd]

VISE!!!!!


but I don't have anything to post. Just couldn't stand to see you hanging there squirming anymore Chet! :)

AHHHH NO!

I'm confused :oops:

[Chet]

I'm confused :oops:


Just playing.

[tomd]

I thought so! Nice picture of the vise, btw.

[Mom27andblessed]

Oh ALright! An easy one to get this going again!

[Chet]

A washer? (Not a washing machine, unless it is a washing machine;)

[tomd]

water fountain?

[Mom27andblessed]

nope and no

[SolidxSnake]

standoff? a threaded hole in something lol

[fiveFPS]

it's the rubber grip in between the vice!


aww i thought I had this answer right =(

[Chet]

The whole vise is 1 piece plastic, no rubber on this one. The nib in the plastic jaw is the macro. Maybe I made it too difficult, but I thought I gave enough clues to narrow it down to just the word Vise.

[Mom27andblessed]

not a threaded hole

[Chet]

I can't see your exif data Cindy, was interested in your shot settings.

[SolidxSnake]

I can't see your exif data Cindy, was interested in your shot settings.

:lol: :lol:

[Mom27andblessed]

funny....ooops...forgot to laugh


cheater! thbbbbt! nanner nanner boo boo!!!

[Mom27andblessed]

so...for the record. Have you guys always been looking at the EXIF on my submissions? or am I really that bad :D

[Chet]

Nope, just the one I think we told you about. Most of them had the correct crop in the exif information. Would another transplanted Detroiter lie?

[Mom27andblessed]

Nope, just the one I think we told you about. Most of them had the correct crop in the exif information. Would another transplanted Detroiter lie?

Really? I didn't know that! Do you miss it? The only thing I miss is having my kids and family closeby.
When we go up for a visit, you could blindfold me and I can tell you when we enter the city limits by the smell. ICK!
I much prefer country mountain air! Where are you at?

[Chet]

We lived close to downtown and Belle isle. I was born there in 1967 and our family moved in 1978. Most of our family have moved away from Detroit, some in Howell and some in Otsego. We venture up for the car show every couple of years and pass our home in Indian Village (which was area with historical homes in Detroit).

I still enjoy going to Greek town and to the Church we attended as kids. I still know my way around like it was yesterday.

[Mom27andblessed]

Gorgeous home! I do also miss being close to a lake. I am a waterbaby...my kids too.

[DEfinitivecars]

Its amazing how so many man made things can look so organic with a super close up...

D

[fiveFPS]

wow that's a cool place.. looks like a movie set.


Waiting on the next macro Chet =)

[Mom27andblessed]

huh? ? ?

[Chet]

[Mom27andblessed]

[Chet]

[Mom27andblessed]

not a button. not even close.

[fiveFPS]

looks liek a hinge plate.. for the door or something

[Mom27andblessed]

nope. not hardware of any kind

you know...sometimes I get in a rut with macros...

[tupper]

Looks like a hole in something metal..

[Mom27andblessed]

mmm hmmm

[tupper]

Am i close?

[tupper]

Is it an Iron?

[Mom27andblessed]

close? it is a hole...in something metal...but not an iron.

[Mom27andblessed]

you are close in that it is a household staple

[Chandler.]

collander?

[SolidxSnake]

another pepper/salt related item?

[andrew748]

an advert for IS ? :p

[Mom27andblessed]

SolidSnake is on to something....

and no...the original is clear...just lots of bokeh

[SolidxSnake]

Something on the top of your pepper grinder (where your knurled nut may also be?) :D

[Mom27andblessed]

nooooo

[Mom27andblessed]

you people just need to spice up your answers!

[lavanut]

The top of the salt/pepper shaker (where the stuff comes out)

[Mom27andblessed]

The top of the salt/pepper shaker (where the stuff comes out)

DING DING DING!!!! Yep!

[lavanut]

Here's another one I did for the folks at work. It may be a quick one for some of you out there.

[Mom27andblessed]

hmmmm some sort of hinge?

[lavanut]

Nope, no sort of hinge

[doidinho]

Is it some sort of step?

[lavanut]

Is it some sort of step?

Not in any way I can think of...

[SolidxSnake]

looks like something computer related to me

[lavanut]

yes, it most definitely is...

[Mom27andblessed]

a memory card or memory card adaptor?

[Mom27andblessed]

flash drive?

[Mom27andblessed]

laptop cooling pad?

[SolidxSnake]

Looks like a floppy or other sort of disk (maybe a 5 1/4" or a zip/jazz disk)

The colors SCREAM IBM.

[lavanut]

No to Mom27's guesses, but Snake is enticingly close...

[Mom27andblessed]

CD case?

[SolidxSnake]

No to Mom27's guesses, but Snake is enticingly close...

Looks so familiar but I just can't put my finger on it.

[lavanut]

CD case?
Nope...

Looks so familiar but I just can't put my finger on it.
I have a feeling you'll scream when you figure it out...

[jr#8]

mouse pad

[Mom27andblessed]

mouse?

[lavanut]

Not a mouse pad or mouse.

Snake almost had it before, but the guess wasn't quite close enough. Go back and read through my last few replies. Everyone may not have one of these, but I bet everyone's seen it before.

[doidinho]

Laptop bag.

[SolidxSnake]

Some sort of PCMCIA or ExpressPort card?

[lavanut]

Some sort of PCMCIA or ExpressPort card?

Laptop bag.

No, and no

[Mom27andblessed]

portable hard drive?

[lavanut]

No, it's not a portable hard drive or disk. You're thinking too big.

Snake was closest with this post, but it's just not quite exact enough...

Looks like a floppy or other sort of disk (maybe a 5 1/4" or a zip/jazz disk)

Somebody's got to get this before I scream...

Somebody's got to get this before I scream...

I just cannot complete the thought of what I'm _trying_ to think of LOL.

Maybe a MicroDrive? I doubt it though, because I can see a seam and some sort of "furry" material (that I know I've seen on some sort of media before but can't remember what).

[jr#8]

multi card reader

[lavanut]

Snake, you're killing me here....! It's not a drive or disk of any kind. You were so close with that other post. You just need to add a tiny bit more info.

This is something that is seen ON something that contains a drive or disk.

[SolidxSnake]

All I know is it must be IBM related... part of a laptop possibly (a logo somewhere on a thinkpad) =_=

[lavanut]

All I know is it must be IBM related... part of a laptop possibly (a logo somewhere on a thinkpad) =_=Thank goodness. I hope I wasn't being too picky on the answer. I almost gave it to you with "The colors SCREAM IBM", but I thought another little bit of info was needed. And for the record, the furriness on the edge surprised me too. It just goes to prove what you can see with a macro lens and 100% crop.
Yer up Snake...

[SolidxSnake]

Up for grabs

[tupper]

Ill take it..

[Skrim17]

[tupper]

[Skrim17]

game piece?

[tupper]

game piece?

No, not close.

[whitedog]

A microphone or ear bud of some sort?

[tupper]

A microphone or ear bud of some sort?

No its not that..

[Skrim17]

[tomd]

cell phone?

[tupper]

cell phone?

Yes..
would you go as far as what model? or at least manufacturer..

[tomd]

Yes..
would you go as far as what model? or at least manufacturer..

nope, let someone else nail that down....

[thomascanty]

It ain't a Sidekick 3. I can tell that much...

[Mom27andblessed]

BlackJack? I or II

[tupper]

BlackJack? I or II

No. Not a samsung.

[Mom27andblessed]

LG?

Sony Erickson?

[Mom27andblessed]

Pantech?

[Mom27andblessed]

Motorola?

[Mom27andblessed]

Palm?

[Mom27andblessed]

AT&T?

[SolidxSnake]

AT&T?

ATT is a provider, not a phone manufacturer :)

[whitedog]

Perhaps I'm alone on this, but I think this game has gotten off track. Do we really need to guess a brand name now? Is it not enough for a clever person to figure out when a macro crop is part of flower, or the grill cloth on a speaker. Must we guess between a million species of flowers or the absurd number of grill cloth manufacturers? Again, it seems to me that it's gotten a bit off track. But this is just my opinion and I'm sure there are just as many that are enjoying this.

I agree, unless the brand also includes a physical distinction in the image.

you sure? :lol:

and I agree also...I only kept guessing to move the game along. I don't even have a macro ready :lol:

Yeah, positive. Those are all rebadges.

[40d]

iPhone? HTC? Phillips? Beng? Acer? Motoroler? NEC? Sagem? Panasonic? Sanyo? Seimens? Can't think of any more.

[fiveFPS]

it's probably some sort of house phone.. lol

[PhotoJourno]

All the brands I have been able to collect from the web have already been mentioned. Let me try...

LG?

Just give it to the user who guessed Cell Phone, I wanna play, but within reason (as a few posted above).

[PhotoJourno]

Oh, and I just noticed you're in Asia. Not a problem, other than having hundreds of manufacturers that we have never heard of here.

It's like saying my T-shirt is 'Hering'. How many people actually know that brand?

[tupper]

Sony Erickson?

yes. now it should be as simple as sonyerricson.com..
or if you have the phone.. it will be easier..

EDIT: To keep it rolling it was w910i,
guy who guessed cellphone can go.

[PhotoJourno]

I used to play this game 140 pages ago, and my only problem when I would post a macro photo, is I had to work, and so answers would pile up till I was able to check, so it made it a lot less fun, and much more complicated.

Now I just want to guess, and let someone else post the next photo. :)

[tomd]

,
guy who guessed cellphone can go.

that's probably me. (post # 6397)

Anyway, I'll leave it open for ANYONE to post. :)
