Nope.

[Kechar]

Brass pin assembly on the top of a light stand swivel head?!

[Dean Rachwitz]

Brass pin assembly on the top of a light stand swivel head?!

No, sorry.

[sparkin]

Part of a door lock/latch mechanism - maybe the spring loaded bit that retracts when you turn the handle, and that pokes into the hole in the door frame to keep the door shut ?

[Kechar]

Could be another key.

[Flo]

[Kechar]

Hinge plate?

Who's Sean?

[sparkin]

Hinge plate?

Who's Sean?

That would be me. :)

[Kechar]

I figured so, but even looking at you prof. didn't tell me your name.

[Dean Rachwitz]

Nope.

Dead Bolt or sliting bolt, clip?

What I mean is that it's a pin.

It might be interpreted as a pin. Was hoping for a closer guess.

Dr. Parkin has a picture of one of these on his website. :cool: Which I coincidentally learned after the fact. This might give you an unfair advantage, professor.

[Kechar]

Part of a guitar?

[sparkin]

Nope.

So you're at UK, eh?

My brother-in-law works there too as a pediatric trauma specialist (Dr. Phil Bernard). I feel sorry for him not being a Georgia Bulldogs fan.

Seriously, I went to your x-ray lab website. It made me feel dumb. ;)

[sparkin]

That's not me - but I've seen his stuff - some great surf captures.

[Kechar]

[MikeFairbanks]

Sparkin. I guess you're not that smart afterall. One of your rants says, "Screws do not accept nuts."

You must not follow politics. ;)

But as busy as you are, you could probably "care less."

[sparkin]

[Dean Rachwitz]

Yep, that's exactly it. For those who don't recognize it, that's a Manfrotto ballhead with a quick release mount. The little brass lever locks the quick release in place.

You're up!

If anyone cares, I shot that with my 35 1.8 mounted backwards, hand held with my finger setting the aperture and my Nikon SB800 speedllight controlled via CLS off camera left.

[Kechar]

YAY!!!
I'm at work for the day and have to take my daughter to dance this evening.
When I get home around 6pm EDT i'll shoot a fresh macro!!!

[Kechar]

[Ingerson"PCD"]

Good guess, but nothing to do with music.

[Dean Rachwitz]

How about a bracelet or necklace?

[Ingerson"PCD"]

How about a bracelet or necklace?

No bracelet or necklace.
