The super macro guessing game (3)

[BmanH]

Not the thing in the middle, good guess though ;)

So there is some liquid in this then?

[A.Christopher]

My 12 year old son says it's looking down into a Martini glass. Not sure how he'd know that, but is he right ?

Hahaha... nope, not a drinking glass or cup of any kind. :lol:

[A.Christopher]

So there is some liquid in this then?

Yes, There is liquid in it.

[MikeFairbanks]

Is it a contact lens?

[A.Christopher]

Is it a contact lens?

Nope, keep guessing.

[Chief Ton Yan]

[Bend The Light]

[hqqns]

No...all the other players will be asleep. Only us in the UK are awake! ;)

Oi! and Australia ;)

You'll be putting your PJ's on and going to bed soon, though. :D

[sparkin]

Good one !

[A.Christopher]

Thanks. I think the color would have given it up to easy so I converted it to grayscale.

[Bend The Light]

Ok, here's mine...

[macroshooter1970]

an egg

[Bend The Light]

an egg

Nope.

[macroshooter1970]

is it a plastic material

[MikeFairbanks]

A door stopper thingy (that keeps the door from hitting the wall)?

[Drakeskakes]

Is that 1 of many? Like is it part of a pattern?

[Bend The Light]

is it a plastic material

Yes

A door stopper thingy (that keeps the door from hitting the wall)?

nope

Is that 1 of many? Like is it part of a pattern?

yes, it is one of many, although not REALLY a pattern...hmmm...difficult to describe. They are not ALWAYS in this arrangement...:)

[BmanH]

Is it a toy?

[Bend The Light]

Is it a toy?

Yes, it is a sort of toy - the sort that appeals to my daughter's granddad! Any ideas what sort of toy?

[MikeFairbanks]

A remote control of some kind or video game controller? Hmmm, you're in the UK. What do grandpas like in the UK?

[Dean Rachwitz]

Game console controller?

[Bend The Light]

A remote control of some kind or video game controller? Hmmm, you're in the UK. What do grandpas like in the UK?

I am certain that they have these in the US as well...in fact across the globe by the looks of it. It's not (usually) anything that is electronic or battery powered. It's a modern toy, but appeals to the older persons around who used to have to "make their own" entertainment...;)

I shan't hold out much longer - it's not fair. Someone guessed toy and it is a toy...a few more guesses then I'll cave in. :D

[hqqns]

a wheel from a toy?

mecano?

[Bend The Light]

mecano?

Ooooh, so close...but not metal...and more modern than meccano...:D

[hqqns]

lego

[Bend The Light]

lego

OOOoooooohhhh! Really close!

[TammyC]

Lincoln logs

[hqqns]

duplo....

[Bend The Light]

Ok, here you go - it's actually K'nex. Model making stuff, though, so you were on target with Meccano and Lego.

My step-father made this "fairground Ride" which really worked - it lifted up the "rockets" as it spun! Like I said - grandparents like it more than the kids!

This one might be easy but let's give it a go anyway :)

Over to you Sean.

Believe it or not, I have a similar picture that was going to use for a future game! I'll get something up soon.

[sparkin]

Sorry for the delay. Here's a new one:

[aebrown]

I don't have a clue, but is it something used outside?

[MikeFairbanks]

That would be a spark plug from the fourth cylindar of a 1957 blue Chevy. Yep, I nailed it, right?

;)

[sparkin]

I don't have a clue, but is it something used outside?

This thing is usually used outdoors, but generally remains indoors when not in use. Sometimes I have to leave it in the garage, especially if I don't want my wife to smack me around. :lol::lol:

[MikeFairbanks]

Actually, it looks like a window latch to me.

[sparkin]

That would be a spark plug from the fourth cylindar of a 1957 blue Chevy. Yep, I nailed it, right?

;)

No, but if you were changing a spark plug on the fourth cylinder of a '57 Chevy, you might very well have several of these things on your person.

[Dean Rachwitz]

Is that a shoe lace eyelet? Like on your work boots? :) Or some sort of a clasp or catch for a clothing item?

[sparkin]

Is that a shoe lace eyelet? Like on your work boots? :) Or some sort of a clasp or catch for a clothing item?

It is indeed.

[Dean Rachwitz]

This is probably too easy, but here goes:

[A.Christopher]

That was a good one... I had no clue it was a shoe lace eyelet.

[MikeFairbanks]

I'm guessing three or four hot pixels? ;)

[sparkin]

Are those metal teeth, or plastic ?

[hqqns]

Believe it or not, I have a similar picture that was going to use for a future game! I'll get something up soon.

Great minds think alike :)

The fresnel lens I took the photo of was from a plastic A4 sized lens that I'm experimenting with for a flash extender. And it's lots of fun with the sun, you can burn concrete with its concentrated beam! I know b/c I tried hehe

[MikeFairbanks]

golf club?

[hqqns]

Is it something to get extra grip with ?

[Dean Rachwitz]

I'm guessing three or four hot pixels? ;)
If they were hot pixels, they'd be in focus. :p

Are those metal teeth, or plastic ?
Metal.

golf club?
Nope.

[hqqns]

Is it a gear, rack or pinion?

[sparkin]

Is it the edge of a polarizing filter ?

[MikeFairbanks]

meat tenderizer or hammer

[Dean Rachwitz]

Is it the edge of a polarizing filter ?

It is the edge of a filter, though I don't recall which one. Nice work!

[MikeFairbanks]

But do you use it to tenderize meat? ;)

[sparkin]

But do you use it to tenderize meat? ;)

:lol::lol:

[sparkin]

Here's another ...

[MikeFairbanks]

Padlock! Gotta be. Either that or a weight set from a weight bench machine.

[sparkin]

Padlock! Gotta be. Either that or a weight set from a weight bench machine.

I need to go back to hard ones!

Padlock it is - all yours Mike.

[MikeFairbanks]

This one may come easy for some, but I'm not sure. Some will never guess in a million years. You're the lucky ones, I supppose.

http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt98/MichaelFairbanks/macro2.jpg

[sparkin]

Does it make fire ?

[hqqns]

Is it a type of tool?

[A.Christopher]

lol..... it's Nose or Ear hair trimmer.

[sparkin]

lol..... it's Nose or Ear hair trimmer.

Well, maybe it singes 'em off! :lol:

[MikeFairbanks]

lol..... it's Nose or Ear hair trimmer.

Winna' winna' chicken dinna'.

Yep, it's a nose hair trimmer. I wasn't sure if it would be an easy one or not, but I figured I'd throw it in for comedic value. It obviously needs a bit of a cleaning.

http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt98/MichaelFairbanks/IMG_0876.jpg

Back to you Christopher.

[A.Christopher]

I'm going to have to pass on a round or two, got to update the firmware on my router. It's up for grabs to who ever wants to post in my place.

[MikeFairbanks]

Okay, then I guess I get to go again. Woohoo. This is super fun for me.

Redefines the meaning of "macro" a bit, but excellent nonetheless.

[Taylor Rowe]

Excellent!

Oh I know! I thought about that halfway into it. I didn't have any macros handy, and my butts been draggin' lately so I just took something from the archives. Then I realized, "this isn't particularly macro" Forgive my oversight, lol :lol:

[macroshooter1970]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Taylor Rowe]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! Where can I get my cookie? :)

[Dean Rachwitz]

Is it baked? A muffin top?
Nope.
A Chicken Wing?
Negative.
pancake
No sir.
Bacon or beef jerky
Sorry, but no. I wish it was, because I love both and that would have meant I got to have one more piece of bacon or jerky than I normally get, which isn't much as I am trying to watch my weight.

Coincidentally, I also love muffins, wings, pancakes, pizza, doughnuts and baguettes, which is perhaps why I am watching my weight.

[Bend The Light]

I am watching my weight, too...in the last 7 years I have watched it increase by at least 50 pounds! :D
