The super macro guessing game (2)

[-Pleiades-]

Full picture of the big fella

238759

[PeteJaffa]

Barramundi

Love that name.

[-Pleiades-]

nope, but getting warmer, this fellow isn't the best eating,he's really boney.

We had a pet barramundi once, he was the supidest of fish but had the best personality out of all our fishes. He got too big for our tank and we had to give him to the local high school :(

[PeteJaffa]

It really isn't a Barramundi?

Even when I look at the two pics they are the same. lol

Fish noob over here.

I've got a choice of 2 now and I'll go for Bullrout?

[-Pleiades-]

not even close!

And bullrout, nope, though we have one of them in the tank, a bullrout is way too small. This fella is about 60cm/2 foot long.

His name sarts with 'S'

[PeteJaffa]

I just noticed the bullrout is a bit wee.

Sooty Grunter was my other guess.

[PeteJaffa]

I feel like I've been given a fish, an encyclopaedia about fish, 3 weeks training and I still don't know what it is. lol

Hi all
I'm new to the forum, subscribed a while ago and have just been looking around. I don't normally do forums as I am not that confident in photography and don't want to make myself look an idiot so I usually just read what other people have to say... so this is my first post !!

Anyway.. this object ... is it photography related... if so is it a diffuser that you put on the end of your flash!!

I've just realised that I didn't go to the end of the thread... told you I that I was new to forums .. and that I didn't want to make an idiot of myelf.... guess I just have as my guess probably has nothing to do with the last photo ... sorry!! I think I will just go back to reading everyone elses posts!!

[PeteJaffa]

Hi Kim, I'm fairly new here too but I've found this place to be an amazing source of absolutely all things photography related.

Look around the many forums and threads and don't be afraid to post your pics.

[-Pleiades-]

This 238761 is a sooty grunter!

I'll put you out of your misery.....it's a....

Saratoga Scleropages jardini

[PeteJaffa]

hahahaha they all look the same to me. I didn't see that bad boy in any of my reference sites. Have you just invented a fish to mess with my head? lol

Hi Kim and welcome!

You never learn anything if you don't ask questions, and no-one will think any less of you! I wasn't a forum person either till I found POTN. Few silly questions along the way on how to do stuff and I think I can say I'm addicted!

If you're talking about my pic of the fish then yes, a stofen omni bounce diffuser was used on the end of the flash (though I can't take credit for the pics, my other half took them)

[-Pleiades-]

hahahaha they all look the same to me. I didn't see that bad boy in any of my reference sites. Have you just invented a fish to mess with my head? lol

They looked the same to me too when I knew nothing about them. But it's amazing, each species has their own personalty, it's amazing!

And no, I didn't make him up ;)

There's two different types of Saratoga, the Jardini and the Leichardti, though only very sublte differences between the two to look at them.

[PeteJaffa]

I have to go strangely enough to buy my wee boy some gold fish.

Speak to you later.

[-Pleiades-]

Have fun!

You're not going to post up a new macro?

I guess that rules out part of a moonshine operation.:lol:

How about a spring from a pen?

[ABrownPhoto]

Part of a fishing lure? (did i spell that right) The kind you'd screw into a banjo minnow or some other type of artificial fish?

[Matoch]

Either a spring or a ground wire that has been twisted into a spiral.

[Daniel2000]

it's a broken spring for sure but can't tell from what...

Uhhh.... hmmmm.... Now I do have an image to post, but won't be back to check the thread for 10-15 hours so...... I think I'll give it up to whomever wants to go, I don't want to make everyone wait for SOOOO long just to keep on waiting :D

Looks like the nozzle from a butane cigarette lighter...

I've made one too many "cracktorches" in the past few months :)

[Daniel2000]

I think you got it...

[VGP]

Gas stove?

[SolidxSnake]

I think you got it...

I think I got it too... I can see the flint wheel in the top-right corner and the plastic around the gas nozzle looks about right too.

[Lawrie B]

15 hours and no reply?????? Can we continue??????

[SnowManZ]

What happened to this game? Before I left, it used to be much more fun and fast paced.
I came back a few days ago and was excited to rejoin this thread, but it's just not the same. I want it back to what it used to be.

</ rant>

[BearLeeAlive]

Since its inception it has gone through a bunch of times where the pace is fast and furious, and then others where it dies down for a while.

I agree with Lawrie, someone else should post one up. I am heading outta town skiing for the weekend, or I would. I actually shot a few the other day in preparation, as I have been quite slack in here for some time myself. :)

[jtikompressor]

k ill go then lol

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x95/jtikompressor/IMG_8298.jpg

sorry for the shallow dof. This might be really hard, so ill tell you that it is a car part.

[SnowManZ]

top of a valve?

[VGP]

You changed the picture :confused:

Let me start by saying its a latch of some sort :D

[SolidxSnake]

I have a feeling it has to do with the locks on the doors but I'm fairly certain that's wrong

[jtikompressor]

top of a valve?


dang i thought it would be harder than that lol

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x95/jtikompressor/IMG_8288.jpg

and yes i did change the pic, same thing but i thought that one was better.

[tomd]

by the way, what is this a value to? An instrument?

SnowManZ - If you want it to be "fast paced" ...... post the next pic ..... you won! :lol:

[SnowManZ]

I am moving right now and am without a proper macro lens, and lighting setup.

So next person to post one up gets it.

Thanks

[Mike Bell]

That's what I was hoping you'd say! ;)

A nice easy one!

some sort of magnetic device? for a latch?

Nope! :)

What you see is about 5mm across. Everyone here has at least one of these - though probably not of this type.

[SnowManZ]

usb device

[Daniel2000]

a connector of some type, maybe from a circuit board?

[Mike Bell]

usb device
No.

a connector of some type, maybe from a circuit board?
What you say is correct - the metallic areas make an electronic connection. But what is the object?

As I said what you see is 5mm across. The whole object is about 40 x 50 mm.

[TroyRaymond]

Battery?

[PeteJaffa]

Stick of RAM?

[Mike Bell]

Battery?
No

Stick of RAM?
In a way ....


Remember this clue ....
What you see is about 5mm across. Everyone here has at least one of these - though probably not of this type.
..... and what kind of forum is this? ;)

[Daniel2000]

is it a car part?

[Daniel2000]

memory card?

[Mike Bell]

It's a Smart Media memory card from my old Olympus compact camera.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2096/2234934165_de82392b8e_o.jpg

[Daniel2000]
