And yes, without clues...that one would have taken a long time. Cool shot!

Do you keep fish?

This looks like the mouth of a reef fish, not sure which one, though...

[XxBiJoUxX]

it looks like the shell of a bug or insect...

[tomjd]

Looks to me like a the head of a ceramic or plastic clown...right between the right eye and the "Bozo" hair.....but I see a lot of strange things sometimes;)

Long break.

[sparkin]

Long break.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the deal is - it's been the same over on the WAIN game - no posts all day.

I'm not much of an entomologist, but is your picture of some beetle's wing casing ?

[macroshooter1970]

no but it has little black dots on it.

[sparkin]

no but it has little black dots on it.

Is the pale whitish stuff surrounding the orange bit part of the bug or is that just the background.

[macroshooter1970]

it's part of the flower

[Dean Rachwitz]

So its not a ladybug?

[macroshooter1970]

Do you have to be the winner to sudmit the next pic ?

I think so, but it's gone kinda quiet here. Are the Americans on holiday? :lol:

[sparkin]

Do you have to be the winner to sudmit the next pic ?

I think if it's been more than 12 hours then it's open. Go ahead and post.

[macroshooter1970]

Please someone start it up, it's been over due :lol:

[Bend The Light]

Ok, I'll go...

Sorry guys, I had a very busy weekend and I didn't have any suitable macro images to post. :(

[Bend The Light]

Looks like you were first...was messing with my camera and accidentally tripped the shutter with the remote...this is what I got. I think up close it looks like fabric or something...

Do you have to try NOT to win if you have nothing to post!? ;)

[macroshooter1970]

cool. funny, fabric is what I was thinking.

[Dean Rachwitz]

Do you have to try NOT to win if you have nothing to post!? ;)

Well, I thought I had something I could use, but after looking at my macro images, I thought they would all be too easy to guess. So before I win again, I will get some suitably inscrutable macro images. :lol:

[macroshooter1970]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spleen

[macroshooter1970]

[Chief Ton Yan]

Not part of an animal.....(not a spleen either)

[sparkin]

what is spleen.....no its not part of a plant or ear hair

It kind looks like pussy willow, but that would make it part of a plant.

[Chief Ton Yan]

maybe your right about pussy willow...i thought it was a tree..... your turn.

[sparkin]

maybe your right about pussy willow...i thought it was a tree..... your turn.

Hmmm ... trees are plants Chief ! :lol::lol:

[Chief Ton Yan]

i was assuming this would be used loosely....ei. a tree having bark and branches....i never looked at a Major Oak and thought hmm....Nice Plant !

[Bend The Light]

i was assuming this would be used loosely....ei. a tree having bark and branches....i never looked at a Major Oak and thought hmm....Nice Plant !

Not many here know what The Major Oak is, Chief!

Where you from? Obviously not far from Sherwood Forest...

[Chief Ton Yan]

About 20 mins drive away from sherwood forest . . I live in derbyshire next place to nottinginghamshire . . . How ya doing ?

[Bend The Light]

About 20 mins drive away from sherwood forest . . I live in derbyshire next place to nottinginghamshire . . . How ya doing ?

I'm good, living in Barnsley, but brought up 5 miles north of Worksop, so know Sherwood forest and so on...

[sparkin]

Not many here know what The Major Oak is ...

I've been to it, but it was years ago. I grew up about 10 miles from you, in Ossett.

Anyhow, here's another. The white bits are blown-out highlights.

[Bend The Light]

I've been to it, but it was years ago. I grew up about 10 miles from you, in Ossett..

What was it that made you want to leave our "lovely" land and go overseas? :lol:

[sparkin]

What was it that made you want to leave our "lovely" land and go overseas? :lol:

A woman - what else ! :lol::lol:

[macroshooter1970]

is that a ball bearing or something

[Dean Rachwitz]

Looks like part of a metal connector.

[Bend The Light]

Some metal, alloy sort of thing?

[katodog]

Looks like a small swivel, like something you'd hang a speed bag on, only smaller.

[macroshooter1970]

pistol magazine

[sparkin]

is that a ball bearing or something

A ball bearing is part of it.

Looks like part of a metal connector.

It's metal, but not a connector.

Some metal, alloy sort of thing?

Metal - yes, and I guess steel is an alloy of sorts.

Looks like a small swivel, like something you'd hang a speed bag on, only smaller.

I don't know what a speed bag is, but either way, it's not one.

pistol magazine

Nope.

[macroshooter1970]

ball bearing hinge

[sparkin]

ball bearing hinge

Not a hinge.

[tomd]

dimmer switch?

[macroshooter1970]

where's my ibuprofen

[sparkin]

dimmer switch?

No.

[sparkin]

where's my ibuprofen

I don't know.

[katodog]

It's not a pen tip, is it?

[katodog]

where's my ibuprofen


I've got some Advil here, want a few??

[sparkin]

It's not a pen tip, is it?

No, but it really does look a lot like that, only it's a bit bigger.

[Chief Ton Yan]

a part of a car ?

[talshadar]

the ball bearing part of a roller blade or skate board?

[sparkin]

a part of a car ?

Some cars may have these, but this one is not from a car.

[sparkin]

the ball bearing part of a roller blade or skate board?

No. The ball bearing is not part of a rotary (or linear) bearing mechanism, it is for something else.

[lavanut]

Part of a telescoping antenna

[sparkin]

Part of a telescoping antenna

No, but I did one of those a week or two ago. ;)

[Dean Rachwitz]

Is it part of a liquid or air valve?

[sparkin]

Is it part of a liquid or air valve?

It's not a valve.

[macroshooter1970]

Part of a lock

[sparkin]

Part of a lock

No, but it can be used to hold things in place.

[macroshooter1970]

killing me man :lol:

[macroshooter1970]

like a cabinet door or something like that

[sparkin]

like a cabinet door or something like that

Some cabinet doors have very similar devices, but to the best of my knowledge, those are not quite the same as this one.

Sorry to be cryptic, but I'll give it away if I say any more.

[Dean Rachwitz]

Is it a latch, such as used to hold a socket on a ratchet?

[Bend The Light]

A press stud? Some call them "poppers" on clothing and stuff?

[Chief Ton Yan]

Sparkin ....Is it magnetic ? or a fastener on a wooden box / set of drawers ?

[sparkin]

Is it a latch, such as used to hold a socket on a ratchet?

I think this is close enough - it's a spring-loaded ball plunger. I didn't take a picture of the whole thing, but it looks like the first one here:

http://www.mcmaster.com/#ball-plungers/=6ctsk6

So Dean, you're up.

[macroshooter1970]

Good one

[talshadar]

that was a good one :-) totally gives me ideas of macro stuff to shoot - can't wait to get home and go through my garage!!

[Dean Rachwitz]

Ok, I am still not properly prepared, so you will probably guess this one quickly.

[tomjd]

Battery release from something like a laptop ?

[Dean Rachwitz]

Nope.

[aebrown]

It's metal correct?

[tomjd]

2-way radio?

[Dean Rachwitz]

It's metal correct?
Some of it is, yes.
2-way radio?
That's a negative, good buddy.

[Chief Ton Yan]

A button of some sort ?

[Dean Rachwitz]

No sir.
