[lavanut]

Cool!

feather?

Tomjd, you were first with your feather guess. I don't want to hijack you if you want to post next. If not, I do have one I can use. You get first dibs though.

[tomjd]

Thanks,
I think I would like to give it a try. New to macro, (going to bore you for a moment) I'm just a noob who inherrited a Tamron SP 100mm from my father that came with an old Pentek K. Did a little research and learned about the "Adaptal" lenses. $20 later for an ebay adapter and I have my first macro lens.
Okay, back to the game, don't suppose this one will take long at all to figure out but here it is:

[lavanut]

tennis ball

[tomjd]

Told you that wouldn't take long....;)

Okay Lavanut, let's see what you had ready!

[lavanut]

The only reason I got it that fast was that I did a similar one a while back (though I can't find it now). Keep on playing with your macro stuff. It's a lot of fun! Invest in some extension tubes if you don't have any already. That'll get you even closer. Kenko's are great.

Here's the last of the ones I had from a week or two ago. Let's see how long this takes.

You're a tad late. Borealis got it (it was a strainer). However...

Do you have another macro to toss up here?

[tomjd]

I can have something up in about 5 minutes....if that's alright with everyone...

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j159/irispatch/Untitled-1.jpg

[GCGuy]

rules should involve no more than a 100% crop. That looks to be about a 300% + crop of something. I'm gonna guess one of the pegs on the "Wheel of Fortune" game that makes the "clicking" sound :D

[Chet]

It's actually a florescent light starter. ;)

[GCGuy]

[tomjd]

Okay, I've posted a few here and they all have been guessed on the first try, so I'm trying to make this one at least a little harder....

[tomd]

record album?

[lavanut]

record album?
And the crowd goes wild. We have a winner already!
I'd been wanting to shoot one of these for a little while. Now's when I wish I had an MP-E 65, but a 100mm + tubes +50mm reversed will have to do for now...
It's an old 45, Johnny Nash, "How Good it Is", to be exact, borrowed from a co-worker (since I gave all my records away years ago). I thought about blowing the dust off, but I was afraid I'd mess up the focus!
Way to go tomd! Your turn now...
