[talshadar]

sea shell?

[Chief Ton Yan]

That didnt last too long.....






your turn

[talshadar]

sea shells were the first things I shot with the macro ;-) I'm away from my camera so I don't have anything so feel free to go again - anyone for that matter.

[sparkin]

Ok, seeing as no one is posting, here's one ...

[katodog]

Solar cells on a calculator

[sparkin]

Solar cells on a calculator

That's a good guess, but it's not right - these are fair bit smaller than solar cells.

[BmanH]

Is it computer or electronics related?

[sparkin]

Is it computer or electronics related?

Yes, sort of - not computers as such, but certainly electronic.

[Chet]

Looks like a logo on something.

[Bend The Light]

Is it something like a Light Dependent Resistor. Is that what they're called?

[Chief Ton Yan]

Contacts of a simcard / battery ?

[sparkin]

Looks like a logo on something.

It's not a logo.

Is it something like a Light Dependent Resistor. Is that what they're called?

Not a photoresistor.

Contacts of a simcard / battery ?

Nor is it the contacts of an electronic device, card or battery.

[Chief Ton Yan]

is it some sort of sensor...like a infra red on a tevelision remote control ?

[sparkin]

is it some sort of sensor...like a infra red on a tevelision remote control ?

No, it's not a sensor.

[Bend The Light]

contacts on a stick of memory?

[Chief Ton Yan]

Some sort of switch ?

[sparkin]

contacts on a stick of memory?

They're not contacts of any sort ...

Some sort of switch ?

... and it's not a switch.

[sparkin]

Here's a bit more of it ...

[Chief Ton Yan]

a touchpad ?

[macroshooter1970]

dart board

[Chief Ton Yan]

Electronic DartBoard ??? (If thats correctits over to Arizona 85224 fir the next round)

[macroshooter1970]

lol I have no clue, he sure does put up some tuff 1's

[Chief Ton Yan]

lol I have no clue, he sure does put up some tuff 1's

I agree with you about tuff 1's........I can see where your coming from with the dart board guess it does appear to have holes marks in it (It could be a BLACK LETTER "T" Tatooed onto a shaved PORKYPINE......Maybe not !) LOL

Chief

[macroshooter1970]

Solar Electrical Panel

[Dean Rachwitz]

Is it a coaster? It looks like glass with printing on the other side. A beverage bottle?

[sparkin]

a touchpad ?

Nope.

dart board

Nope ...

Electronic DartBoard ??? (If thats correctits over to Arizona 85224 fir the next round)

... therefore, nope.

[sparkin]

lol I have no clue, he sure does put up some tuff 1's

Thanks ! :lol::lol:

Chief

I'm not sure what those things that look like holes are - I was surprised to see them too. They are not visible on the actual object.

Your suggestion of a black letter T is actually correct, but the question is, what device is that letter T on ?

hint: The letter T is now gone ...

[sparkin]

Is it a coaster? It looks like glass with printing on the other side. A beverage bottle?

Nope. It does have glass covering it though.

[Dean Rachwitz]

Is it an e-book, Sean? Like a Kindle?

[macroshooter1970]

led light

[macroshooter1970]

photoresistor

[hairy_moth]

LED Display (like the top of a T)

[sparkin]

Is it an e-book, Sean? Like a Kindle?

You're going in the right direction, but it's much more common than an e-book. In fact there's a very good chance that you're all in possession of one right now ...

led light

Not an LED, but LEDs have been used for similar applications.

photoresistor

No.

LED Display (like the top of a T)

Getting very warm. :D

[macroshooter1970]

laptop screen

[sparkin]

laptop screen

Much smaller than a laptop ... and much more portable.

[macroshooter1970]

calculator

[sparkin]

calculator

Smaller than that, though some of these things have tiny calculators on them.

[hairy_moth]

Watch

[sparkin]

We have a winner! It's the LCD date on my watch, so the T was for thursday. Here's more of it:

[Chief Ton Yan]

I was just about to guess that lol......i would of never have got it

[BmanH]

Nice one, Sean. Had us completely thrown off for a while.

[sparkin]

Nice one, Sean. Had us completely thrown off for a while.

Ha Ha! Isn't that the point ?

[macroshooter1970]

WOW

[hairy_moth]

Here is one (100% crop)

[sparkin]

Is it food ?

[hairy_moth]

yes

[Bend The Light]

Prune/raisin?

[hairy_moth]

Prune/raisin?
no.. not prune or rasin

[Bend The Light]

chocolate brownie or cookie?

[hairy_moth]

chocolate brownie or cookie?

no.....

[sparkin]

Hmm, raisins or a brownie would have been my first guesses too.

Is it raw or cooked (baked) ?

[hairy_moth]

Raw -- I guess. I never cooked one, but I don't know if it comes cooked or not.

[Randi]

Rotten fruit/veggie?

[hairy_moth]

Rotten fruit/veggie?

No.. not rotten fruit. Technically, it is fruit, but that may be misleading.

[Randi]

A date?

[BmanH]

Some type of fungus like a mushroom?

[hairy_moth]

A date?
No

Some type of fungus like a mushroom?
No

[cp1005]

lychee?

[hairy_moth]

lychee?
No - I don't know what that is.

This is a 100% crop of something I focused by putting my 60mm on the closest focus setting and moved the camera in to focus (i.e., really macro). It is fairly common in kitchens. I think everyone will recognize the full frame.

[macroshooter1970]

I have a name of it, but I can't remember it you know what I mean :confused: :lol:

[cp1005]

sun dried tomato?

(a lychee is an edible nut :) )

[hairy_moth]

sun dried tomato?


(a lychee is an edible nut :) )

No. Thanks... Now that you mention it. I remember my father talking about lychee nuts

[hairy_moth]

Here is another 100% crop from the same frame with parts of 2 of the same kind of object. The one on the left is the original.

[katodog]

Black pepper?

[hairy_moth]

Correct -- black peppercorns:

Here is the whole corn and full frame

[katodog]

Oh crap, well, back in a few...

[katodog]

Okay, here ya go...

[Chief Ton Yan]

[katodog]

No.

[webcrawlur]

a handle or grip...

[Randi]

An air vent?

[Chief Ton Yan]

a device used for painting ?

[katodog]

a handle or grip...


Oooh, that's a tough one. It's not technically a grip, but technically it could be a grip. I'm gonna say no to this one because it's not really a grip. However, people may look at and see how it might be considered a grip.


An air vent?


No


a device used for painting ?


No




I'm gonna be out for a while, I'll continue when I get back.

[Chief Ton Yan]

is it something you would find on a bathroom / restroom ?

[Overread]

It looks a bit like the side of a superglue/glue container - with the blue bit being the part you push in to release the glue from the nozzle

[hairy_moth]

It is from protective padding for sports.. like a catchers mask

[katodog]

Very nice crisps...i love the spicy ones !

Chief

[Overread]

cake?

I'll let this win because it is the cakey part of one so this is about the closest anyone will possibly get without me giving a lot of clues.
Oh and the answer is its one of these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa_Cakes) (I would put my own pic...but....I ate them all)

[aebrown]

Hmm they look more like cookies to me lol...

Nope not a tool.

I sure hope not! I would stay along the mechanical utility line...

[cp1005]

bookcase?

[aebrown]

Nope. I'm gonna take another picture. I got lazy and decided to shoot with too slow of a shutter speed...

Not this either

A "vent" of some sort?

Verrrry close. If we get something slightly more specific, we'll have it...

[Bend The Light]

Verrrry close. If we get something slightly more specific, we'll have it...

Which one??? The Vent or the brish style thingy?

[aebrown]

Haha oops, forgot that you had two things! The vent.

[Bend The Light]

exhaust from something?

[hairy_moth]

The vent that opens and closes on a baseboard heater.

[Bend The Light]

The vent that opens and closes on a baseboard heater.

What's a baseboard heater?

[aebrown]

Hmm well I've rethought this, and I'll give it to Craig for a vent.

It's the vent for an air conditioning unit. I guess I figure we're not going to get much more specific, because it really doesn't matter if it's from a heater or air conditioner haha

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4059/4470749539_1e2a13d5db_o.jpg

[sparkin]

What's a baseboard heater?

Craig:

Many (most ?) household heating and AC systems in the US have a furnace and an air blower that push heated (or cooled) air through ducts and out of vents. Depending of the system, vents may be in the ceiling or in the floor. Some floor vents are flush with the floor, while some come out of the baseboard. Baseboards are what we (i.e. British people) would call skirting boards.

Ah! We don't have much call for Air-Con in Barnsley! ha ha!

Here we go...

I think I know what it is, but I don't want to get it right because I'm running out of things in my room that make good macro shots.

i'm just gonna wait and see if i'm right when someone else gets it haha
