I know I've seen this item before, but I cannot think of what it is....I'm having a brain phart.

[PhotoJourno]

document holder.

DING DING DING DING !!!...

I though this one would either be really easy, or very hard. So when I got ready to take the pic and the window blind reflection complicated the surface, I decided to leave it.

Way to go Turner !!

My next clue was going to be "It's holding up pretty well".

Rob your turn now.

[3Turner]

All right, have at it. Hope it's not too easy.

[Chet]

Back to the thinking chair.. (My son's, anyways).

[Chet]

Knife, not a cheap one from the grocery store either!

[Chet]

It is actually a key to a locking cable for a laptop. Here is the full shot.

[PhotoJourno]

Nice pic. I thought it was a ring of sorts, but I did not even guess, as I am out of Macro ideas :p

[SolidxSnake]

Could be worn too, on a neck-strap/keychain, etc :)

[3Turner]

Nice pic. I thought it was a ring of sorts, but I did not even guess, as I am out of Macro ideas :p
You, out of ideas? Noooo, can't be :rolleyes: :lol:

Could be worn too, on a neck-strap/keychain, etc :)
touche...it can be on a lanyard, but not a keychain. I don't wear my keychain, I carry it :lol:.

[Skrim17]

OK

[PhotoJourno]

I just thought "what happens to us not what defines us, it is what we do about it that shows us who we really are".

I guess it is an idea after all. Not sure where it fits.

[3Turner]

bubbles

[Skrim17]

not soap

[3Turner]

gel

[PhotoJourno]

This could be high grade quartz or one of its cousins.

[Skrim17]

going to bed kids, I"ll try to check in in the am.

[andrew748]

the cleanest snot in the world?

[Skrim17]

not snot tho it is similar in consistency. it might be a camping staple.

[Chet]

[Skrim17]

[Chet]

Raccoon feed?

[PhotoJourno]

[Skrim17]

Once again Chet comes in the winner!! I am at work and can't post the whole thing but it is the remains of marshmallow on a stick after a BBQ.

[pixelharmony]

Interesting how it looked like that. I guess it does bubble a bit :)

[Chet]

Go!

[Chet]

shhh, just making sure the players don't get discouraged!

[PhotoJourno]

shhh, just making sure the players don't get discouraged!

he he.

Putting on my Columbo hat (yes, he wore one, when it rained, in between shows).

This photo was taken from a very close distance -the differential on the flash imprint from the yellow curved items gave it away- though not fully macro made. fStop very shallow, and maximum focus point appears to be beyond the top left corner of the photo, though it could be misleading. This crop is also really good quality which leads me to think it is a 10-20% crop from its original. [imagine smart face smoking from a pipe here and slyly grinning]
Contents are definitely polyester in black, could be cottonish in yellow areas.

This could be anything from a photo bag, to a 1979 wig used in the famed robbery of the Dulcinea Grocery store in South-West L.A. ; to whatshisname, the horse of zorro.

I am just happy to help everyone around a bit. [snubbish face, as if expected to be thanked]

[Chet]

LOL... A bit more Angela Lansbury me thinks. I never use flash on my macro's. And I use the 2 lens method for macro's, the kit lens and a 50mm f1.4 with a macro adapter to put the lenses face to face.

Aha!!.. So you do admit then.

It's up for grabs.

(it makes no sense but hey, just go along with it..)

[Chet]

Nope, it's a real image, nothing made up. I have more challenging ones than this.

[webcrawlur]

[pixelharmony]

[3Turner]

Chet, this item is made of wood. Now, what has the wood been formed into? ;)

[Chet]

Flute/recorder?

[3Turner]

Nope and nope.

Gonna get back to work here, so I'll check back later.

[Chet]

Just shoot him and keep playing!

Vase?

[PhotoJourno]

[andrew748]

a peg

[3Turner]

Just shoot him and keep playing!

Vase?
knitting needles?
:lol: shoot who?
Not a vase or knitting needles.

if that's wood, I am out then. I can almost count the cells on the bloody thing!.. Quite a bit past me limited intelect.
The shot is not that close :lol:. When you find out what it is, you'll be surprised. This game is an art, you have to think small for the big picture.

a peg
Not a peg, but it does have a 'job/purpose' to serve.


Another Hint: The piece you are looking at is about 3 inches long and is attached to the entire item that is 5 inches long.

[Chet]

Cup holder?
Wooden hammer?

[3Turner]

No to both Chet.

Though, the wooden hammer would be closer guess to this item....think 'trades' and I don't mean woodworking ;)

Looking back, I've given 3 hints already ;).

[Chet]

Baton?
Sammy Sosa bobble head?

[3Turner]

Not a baton or bobble head.

I'll be drawing up the next clue in a bit as soon as I can think of a way to pose it.

[3Turner]

Dang, did I stump everyone? Need another crop? If so, I'll have to do that as soon as I get home. BTW, there is a hint in the post above. ;)

[Skrim17]

pencil sharpener

[whitedog]

Polo Mallet (or club, or whatever you call it)?

[whitedog]

So the hint is in "drawing up"? Is it the tip of a pencil or marker or eraser of some sort? Am I getting warmer?

[Mom27andblessed]

Lets look at the clues...

It's made of wood
