[AlphaChicken]

It appears to be some kind of spring loaded latch and release system. metal part is lifter out of notches and can then slide freely.

Yes, the notches are for postioning.....something....

you're getting warm so here's a clue - The item is photography related

[AlphaChicken]

Is it a tilt shift system for a field camera?

[tomjd]

not tilt shift.

[AlphaChicken]

Its an enlarger adjustment?

[Mike]

I thought it may have a photography use, but not sure what!

Is it part of a tripod head?

[tomjd]

no, you were very close with your previous guess.

[AlphaChicken]

no, you were very close with your previous guess.
@ who??

[tomjd]

@ who??
Oops, sorry to be so vauge.

This was:


Is it a tilt shift system for a field camera?

[AlphaChicken]

forward/backward rail adjustment for bellows?

[tomjd]

There you go Alpha. My grandfather's old old Kodak Jr. #1 from the 1920's I believe.
Anybody have any idea if anyone makes film for these anymore?

[AlphaChicken]

Thats a sweet old camera! :) I wish you luck in finding film for it. That would be bad ass. I dont have a macro right now; if someone gets one up first they can have it.

[Mike]

Ok, since you offered! This is probably too easy but...

[lavanut]

OK... here's one fresh out of the camera.

[Mike]

Seashell?

[lavanut]

Seashell?

Can you be a little more specific?

[Mike]

Oh...er part of a seashell?! ;) :p

I'm not sure I can be...I'll have a think.

[lavanut]

Since you got that it was some sort of sea shell on the first guess :(, I'm looking for a little more clarification on what kind. It's an easily recognizable one when you see the whole thing.

[Mike]

I'm not sure I can think of any...um...sea urchin?

[lavanut]

Not an urchin. Keep thinking. I know you know what this is! ;)

[tomjd]

sand dollar?

[Mike]

Conch?

[lavanut]

sand dollar?
Yep, Sand dollar it is!

353008

Michael, you got so close! Even if sea shell hadn't been the first guess, I was still looking for what kind. A sand dollar is a pretty identifiable kind of shell. I thought this would last longer than it did though. Guess I need to get some tougher shots!

Your turn Tom...

[tomjd]

Cool! I'll have something up shortly.

[Mike]

I've not heard of a sand dollar :(

[tomjd]

and here it is....

[Mike]

Trainers/sneakers tread?

[tomjd]

Trainers/sneakers tread?

Yes, ...but what size?........just kidding. I've got to find more interesting things around the house to shoot :confused:

http://www.pbase.com/tomjd99/image/110692954.jpg

[Mike]

Yay! I'm getting better at this!! :D

Not got one to post right now so if anyone else has, the floor is yours.

[lavanut]

I've not heard of a sand dollar :(

Really? Sorry about that. I thought that was a pretty common thing. They don't have those in the UK? I'm glad you got this last one though. :)

[zeva]

we need another picture! its been over a week without a post!

[Guineh]

Chet, is it a scab you picked open?

[Chet]

And licked it too. But alas it tis a wrong answer.

[Mike]

Jelly?

[Chet]

No sir.

[tomd]

dog toy?

[Chet]

Dogs can and will play with most anything. But no I would not recommend it. So I'll say no.

[Mike]

Toadstool?

[tomd]

is this item edible? (without illness or death ;))

[Chet]

Toadstool?

I don't think so.

is this item edible? (without illness or death ;))

Sure ;)

[Guineh]

Hot sauce?

[Chet]

Very close indeed.

[Guineh]

Very close indeed.

ketchup?

[Chet]

Nope, you were on. It's just not hot.

[lavanut]

hot pepper?

[webcrawlur]

BBQ sauce...

[Guineh]

pepper sauce?

[Chet]

Yes it is a sauce, no it's not hot.

[tomjd]

coctail sauce?

[sycamorebirds]

treacle?

[Skrim17]

duck sauce

[Chet]

No. Let's all reflect on hot sauce shall we.... Some people don't like HOT sauce on their flour things with ground beef, tomato's, cheese and sour cream.

[Skrim17]

lol

[lavanut]

pico de gallo... that goes well on those flour things with ground beef, tomato's, cheese and sour cream

[Chet]

You're all toying with me. I see the cats have taught you well.

[Lyshk0]

taco sauce?

i have no macros to post at the moment, so if im right, pass it on to someone else

[Chet]

http://photos.smugmug.com/photos/308939146_ixRWY-L.jpg

[lavanut]

Alright Lyshk0... I'll pony up one... the cats are getting restless.

One like this may have been done before, but it will keep the game moving tonight.

(Yes, there's dirt there that needs cleaning. It's amazing what macros reveal.)

[tomd]

camera grip?

[lavanut]

Not a grip, but it is camera related

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Focus/Zoom ring on a lens?

[lavanut]

Focus/Zoom ring on a lens?

Nope

[Flo]

Egads, It looks like my pigs snout!;)

[aseainthesky]

Looks like part of a camera strap

[webcrawlur]

I think it looks like the letter "e", lol.

[tomd]

foot pad of a tripod?

[ArvThePie]

Rubber adjuster grip (tripod)

[lavanut]

Egads, It looks like my pigs snout!;)
How funny! That guess cracked me up, but not, that's not what it is. I can't even remember my last close encounter with a real pig. An occasional piece of bacon is the closest I can think of.

Looks like part of a camera strap
No part of a camera strap

I think it looks like the letter "e", lol.
Why yes it does, as a matter of fact! But that's not a good enough answer for us. Keep on guessing... :)

foot pad of a tripod?
Rubber adjuster grip (tripod)

Not tripod related, so no to both.

[tomjd]

Part of a lens cap?

[lavanut]

Part of a lens cap?

Yeah! We have a winner! A dirty lens cap, but a lens cap it is! Yer up...

[tomjd]

okay....cool.....I'll have something up shortly

[tomjd]

Okay, here is something a little different...I think. Looks a little (or a lot) out of focus, but it really isn't...well, maybe a litte;)

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Awesome. Well, I do not have anything to post, and probably won't within the 24 hour time frame, so someone else feel free to post.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Oh, and might I add.... I saw how those are made on the show, "How It's Made" and wow... it is quite the process and so neat to watch them cut the designs after layering the wax. The artists go to school for about 2 years or so and then it takes even a big longer to get really proficient with that type of work. it's beautiful though.

I saw that episode also. I now really appreciate the skill developed for making these.

[tomjd]

Kind of funny, my wife bought that candle in Holland years ago. Carried it all over Europe and brought it back in her carry-on. You can watch them being made and buy them in Holland Michigan, about an hour or two from our house :confused:

[Mike]

Nope.

Is it a frayed knot?

Haha!! No! :D

[JBerlotti]

Nope.



Haha!! No! :D

LoL you should have said "afraid not" Sorry I just couldnt help myself... I am sure the vicodin doesnt help either.

[Mike]

Well it's been over 24 hours...I'll give you another 24 and then I'll provide a hint (if I can think of one!)

[Flo]

[Mike]

Not needlepoint as such.

picnicthis is the kind of dining to which I was referring...in woodland...

[Saphire]

Picnic blanket

[Mike]

Nope, barking up the wrong tree.

[lavanut]

A doll of some kind?

[JBerlotti]

Stuffed animal?

[JBerlotti]

Well look at me. LoL. OK hopefully it doesn't take 3 guesses to figure this one out like last time I posted. I want to at least try and make it a little tough. I shot this one real fast before I pass out after a 14 hour night shift.
