The super macro guessing game (2)

[ArvThePie]

Is that a metal loop for putting something through, like a wrist strap etc??

[lavanut]

No loop there.

The main item is one of several just like it on the object. You can see one full one and part of another (though very blurry due to DOF) in the image.

[ArvThePie]

(clutchin at straws here):confused:Is it a dock for...

[lavanut]

(clutchin at straws here):confused:Is it a dock for...

I wouldn't really call it a "dock" for something, but it is a contact point (one of several, as mentioned before) on the object

[lavanut]

You all given up on this or just too busy this weekend?

Here's one more hint. There are a total of 5 of those metal things on my object, and it is something many folks on POTN have.

[quijibo69]

"hook" on a belt buckle?

[Daniel2000]

contacts on a flash
I'd say from your 580 EX since they don't look like that on the 580 EX II
they look more like the ones from my 430 EX ;)

[lavanut]

Good enough for me. It's actually a set of contacts on my sync cord, but since it looks a lot like the contacts on the 580 EX (you're right, the contacts on the EXII are different), it's close enough.

You're up!

[Daniel2000]

I'll leave it up for grab this time, going to bed and wont be back for a while
if no one took the turn in the morning, I'll check what I can come up with

[ArvThePie]

Just a quicky to fill the gap then..;)

[BearLeeAlive]

[ArvThePie]

Its a good guess but no, not a fan.;)

[XPert]

Nerf football?

[Chet]

Looks like the spritzer valve from the S.S. minnow that stranded those people on that deserted island for many years.

[Chet]

Oh, that was a good one, too... you shouldn't have given up. Often when we're searching for an answer we get a bit goofy, specially when it's particularly difficult.

[BearLeeAlive]

Yep, for sure. We try to have some fun along the way. And yes, it was a great image, nice and clear, just the way we prefer it. :D

Besides, it is Chet's fault. :confused: :p

[Chet]

Maybe we just needed a clue. The macro was great.

[ArvThePie]

Maybe we just needed a clue. The macro was great.
Well i found myself sneaking of work to answer any guesses, to find you lot avvin a laff, the trouble is I got a rollocking, so had to finish it so as to not get reported for skiving!!;):D
Now i can just view at my leisure, and not feel obligated to update your humourous guesses with more question marks.;):D

I had a bad day today..:lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

I had a bad day today..:lol:
I hope tomorrow is a better one for you. Don't worry about watching your macro posts too much while at work, folks have to earn a living. Just catch up on it when you get home. BTW, sleeping is allowed too. ;)

We need more of your nice sharp macros that are hard to guess. :D

Thanks, next time I will relax more and just answer when i get home..;)
I love the game, it gets the grey matter going..:cool:

[BearLeeAlive]

Hey, maybe I should quit thinking so much, the grey of the matter is leaching out into my hair follicles. :p

Why not now? Have another go. I agree, this was a goody, I didn't even guess 'cause I had no idea.:lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

STEVE

I think you're up buddy. :D

[webcrawlur]

Not me, I have nothing yet. Been very busy as of late, how're you doing Jim?:D How about you put up one of those good ones that are hard to guess?;)

[BearLeeAlive]

Not me, I have nothing yet. Been very busy as of late, how're you doing Jim?:D How about you put up one of those good ones that are hard to guess?;)
I don't have any either. I need to set up and do up a bundle of them. And, trust me, I too know what busy is about. But, that's life. :D

[webcrawlur]

I don't have any either. I need to set up and do up a bundle of them. And, trust me, I too know what busy is about. But, that's life. :D
Way better than being slow, eh?:D I need to stock up as well, I need some fresh material to work with.:cool:

[lavanut]

What happened? Did everyone give up or move on to other things? We can't let this thread die now, can we?

[Skrim17]

Post something up!

[tonylong]

OK,

Nope, although there are similarites in certain elements of your suggestion...:)

[JBerlotti]

bottle of water?

[tomjd]

Stem of glass?

[tonylong]

bottle of water?

Yeah, that's it, backlit by a blue light...I actually had just decided to give it to the first guess as close enough, but you nailed it. Your turn!

[Ripskin]

Plates?

Edit: answer given right before my post lol..

[JBerlotti]

Well shiver me timbers! :lol: I actually got one. This one should be fun.

Wow, that's pretty amazing to get that kind of macro from a "moving" object....he must really "stay" when you say "stay";)

[ArvThePie]

Lol, like "freeze";)

[Skrim17]

He's a cutie for sure, ever really close up!

[Skrim17]

I don't have anything at the moment, it is open for whoever wants to post.

[AlphaChicken]

I'll take it. Best of luck guys. :) Have not played this game in a long while. Hope this does not go too fast.

[VGP]

[JBerlotti]

Well after being a K-9 cop for the last 8 years of my 13 years in, I have learned a trick or two on dog training. LoL he actually did just lay there while I macro'd his nose. :lol:

[JBerlotti]

Hollow tip bullet?

[AlphaChicken]

Spray can tip?

[AlphaChicken]

pocket lighter?

you sy which part and you got it.

[Daniel2000]

the nozzle where the butane come out, I didn't think I had to say which part, I would have said it at my first guess ;):p

[ArvThePie]

you sy which part and you got it.
I thought if its part of a lighter, and someone guesses lighter, its sorted.;)

[Daniel2000]

+1 normaly I ask what is the "object" the pic came from, not the part... but hey, he want it specific ;)

[AlphaChicken]

I can give it to you for lighter. Thought the part was obvious though if I gave you the fact it was a lighter. Oh well. You're up Arv. Post a full crop in a few.

[ArvThePie]

Daniel 2000 your up.;)you did mention lighter first, I thought it was from a gas cooker not a lighter, lol.

[AlphaChicken]

Oops must have missed a post. Sorry. As arv mentioned its your turn Daniel.

Here is full crop.

[Daniel2000]

an easy one... I think

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/Daniel2000/macros/IMG_9960.jpg

[lavanut]

I thought it looked familiar. When it wasn't breadcrumbs, I thought smaller. Looks like you used a reversed lens on the shot. Is that right?

Here's one to keep things going. It shouldn't be too hard either.

[Daniel2000]

yep
my 50mm reversed in front of my 70-300 at 300mm (http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/Daniel2000/macros/IMG_0400macrosetup.jpg) ;)
the second shot was at 119mm
the shot at 300mm would correspond to the lower left corner of the 119mm shot

[tomd]

looks like a pipe reemer?

[lavanut]

No pipe reamer

[tomd]

can opener?

[lavanut]

can opener?

Well dang... I thought it would last more than 2 guesses!

[tomd]

WaHoo.....I can't post til morning (8 hours) so I'll leave it open for first taker!

[AlphaChicken]

Heres one. GLHF

[ArvThePie]

A collet.

[AlphaChicken]

Nope.

[Eastside]

part of a fire extinguisher?

[tomjd]

relief valve?

[tomjd]

part of a torch?

[poppie guy]

cigarette lighter?

[AlphaChicken]

relief valve?

Close enough. Its really the burst disk on a Co2 tank. If it builds up too much pressure the disk cracks and breaks letting pressure out the hole.

Its so when you play paintball in the sun the tanks don't explode, rather the burst disk kicks in.

Your up Tom.

[lavanut]

"burst disk"... didn't that happen on Apollo 13? It didn't cause the main explosion, but it scared the willies out of them in the movie. Now I have a real life example to relate to. I learn so much on these forums! :D

[tomjd]

Cool!
Alright, here is something that probably won't take too long...

http://www.pbase.com/tomjd99/image/110625508.jpg

[Daniel2000]

depending of how the burst disc crack it can also be dangerous
someone I know was filling a tank and the disc BLEW, the tank detached itself from the filling tube and went flying around in the room,
he got lucky and got his arm broken buy the projectile, I say lucky because if he hadn't lift his arm to protect his face, I think he might not be still here

ouch!

[Daniel2000]

it look like the inside of a lock but I don't think it is... :confused:

[AlphaChicken]

yeah but the burst disk bursting is a lot less of a hazard no matter how you look at it. if the tank had busted open it would have been big hunks of shrapnel flying around.

[Mike]

A saw blade?

[tomjd]

it look like the inside of a lock but I don't think it is... :confused:

Your right....It's not ;)

A saw blade?
nope.

[tomd]

clock part?

[tomjd]

not a clock part

[tomd]

is this related to a musical instrument?

[tomjd]

Good guess, but not musical in any way.
