The super macro guessing game

[jr#8]

I've never seen a charger like that on this side of the pond. Thats probably why my choices were so far off.

That's the Canon charger for the BP-511.

[Kraig C]

Indeed it is

I thought I had something that might go for a bit longer than it did! Was it the cross part that gave it away?

http://www.photorom.com/canonforums/IMG_6379.JPG

You're up Kraig!

It was the contacts but the possitive sign helped.

I'll have to get a new pic.

[jr#8]

hey craig your up

[Cybnew]

i am definitly going to say...if no one posts in the next 2 hours...someone other than me should post a pic

[DirtyRed]

Ok try this. I'll be back in a couple of hours.
BTW Hope you all had a fantastic christmas! :)

[Cybnew]

cactus?, more specifically, a prickly pear?

[BearLeeAlive]

Close up of the body of a fly?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Some sorta tree leaf?

- Jeff

[Olli]

this might be a bit disgusting guess: cicatrix with stitches

[DirtyRed]

BearLee well done! Your up. I'm not going to comment on some of the other guesses!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

Here is a quick one. I will give a clue in a bit if really needed. If this is not guessed or for some reason I do not reply by 12:00 Noon MST someone else can have a go at it as I will be away until late on Jan 01.

[Olli]

looks like leather ... a wallet?

[BearLeeAlive]

Yep, it was quite easy, didn't take much time getting this one. I will be tougher in the New Year, I promise.

It is tooled leather, a crest of sorts I made 35 yrs ago. My mother had been storing it somewhere and just gave it to me.

Have at 'er Olli.

[Olli]

OK, here we go again. Now I have to ask you to be very exact. ;) This is 100% crop of almost 1:1.

[Cybnew]

shutter speed select?

[Olli]

shutter speed select?no but a selector of some kind :rolleyes:

[Cybnew]

film speed?

[Olli]

film speed?Right - but I won't let you go that easy ... can you tell which camera? This might help a bit more. (If there is no exact answers in a reasonable short time, you will get the next turn Cybnew.)

46572

[Olli]

Have to get some sleep now. I'll check the situation in 7-8 hours. One more hint: this you can really carry everywhere. So what is the make?

- olli

[sdmaker]

rollei maybe?

[DirtyRed]

Voigtländer?

[Olli]

Time is up and I give the turn to Cybnew.

The picture was from the bottom of my well served Minox 35 GT, one of the great gears in photography history.

[Cybnew]

and i in turn pass it to sdmaker as he was the next person to post after me

[sdmaker]

lol, I have nothing to post right now, someone else jump in please.

[Cybnew]

dirtyred...wanna go?

[DirtyRed]

Ok. Just got time before this part of the world cracks the champagne for 2006!

[Cybnew]

gecko eye?

[DirtyRed]

Great guess! Spot on!

[Cybnew]

someone else take this next one

[justchris]

I have one... give me a moment

[justchris]

I was going to try to think of a clue for it, but my attention span and judgement is not at its best.

[Cybnew]

coffee can top?

[justchris]

No. It's practically the antithesis of that.

[TeamSpeed]

Pop can opening?

[justchris]

That's a bit closer.

[jr#8]

[sdmaker]

[jr#8]

This will probably be too easy.

[ctf]

Lens contacts on camera's body?

Arno

[DirtyRed]

Contacts yes... but on the lens?

[DirtyRed]

A Tamron AF28-80mm Asph to be precise?

[ctf]

Contacts yes... but on the lens?

Are you asking me to identify the lens?
Sorry can't do...
:)
Arno

[ctf]

Or Tamron AF70-300mm Macro maybe?
;)

Arno

[DirtyRed]

Just taking a guess ctf. I assumed the photo was taken with the Tamron AF70-300mm Macro and the only other lens jr has listed is Tamron AF28-80mm Asph? ;)

[jr#8]

Contacts yes... but on the lensDirtyRed your up

[ctf]

Good deduction...
:)

Arno

[jr#8]

Just taking a guess ctf. I assumed the photo was taken with the Tamron AF70-300mm Macro and the only other lens jr has listed is Tamron AF28-80mm Asph? Nope it was with a Canon 50mm FD lens Backwards

[DirtyRed]

Someone take my turn.

[ctf]

Someone take my turn.

All right then, I will try.
Just one minute...

[ctf]

How about this one...

[ctf]

Arno

[stupot]

[Cybnew]

[ctf]

The end of a metronome?

[frydryce]

[stupot]

[ctf]

Here it is...

http://www.cooltalkingfrog.com/Pics/Pic3.jpg

[ctf]

You are too good!

[ctf]

[stupot]

[stupot]

[ctf]

No idea... :(

[jr#8]

Candy bar

[stupot]

[ctf]

Candy bar

That's a good call!

[ctf]

A beef bouillon cube?

[stupot]

yes! maybe you dont get them in US, but its an oxo cube! same thing:) was wondering if anyone would recognise typeface.

[ctf]

Good one.
Somebody wants to try one?
jr#8?

Arno

[stupot]

one of these...

[ctf]

Never seen those before...

[ctf]

A quick easy one...

http://www.cooltalkingfrog.com/Pics/Pic2.jpg

[Belmondo]

Never seen those before...

That's because you're in Texas. Anytime you want beef flavoring, you just walk out the front door and shoot a longhorn. Poeple in other parts of the world have to do it a little differently.:lol:

[jr#8]

Micro phone jack

[stupot]

lol belmondo! mm cant think what it is... is it some kind of a plug on the end of a cable?

[ctf]

Micro phone jack

Nope...
It's name has 3 letters...

[ctf]

Well actually, I was wrong, it could be a microphone jack...
Usually used for video and audio.
It is a bnc jack.

http://www.cooltalkingfrog.com/Pics/Pic2a.jpg

[ctf]

jr#8, you're up.
:)

Arno

[stupot]

[ctf]

Well since it seems that jr#8 is not available at the moment, here is one for fun...

http://www.cooltalkingfrog.com/Pics/Pic1.jpg

[floydianslip6]

LED flashlight? Something with LEDs...

[ctf]

LED flashlight? Something with LEDs...

Something with LEDs is right.
However, can you identify the little thingy at the bottom?
:)

Arno

[stupot]

a light sensor... so it turns on in the dark? some kind of nightlight?

[ctf]

a light sensor... so it turns on in the dark? some kind of nightlight?

Good guess.
It is a photocell that is used to turn on the infrared leds that you see.
This is on a security camera. :)
http://www.cooltalkingfrog.com/Pics/Pic1a.jpg

Running out of macro shots...
Will have to take some more later.
Stupot, your turn...

[stupot]

ok.. easy one

[jr#8]

for some reason I cant upload a images I'll try again in a bit

[ctf]

Date on your wristwatch?

[chemicalbro]

looks like a golfball to me.....

[Torquemada]

4 on a lens?

[chemicalbro]

I gotta go to work so if :) i'm right somebody else have a go

[ctf]

Golfball seems the best guess so far...
Arno

[jr#8]

Here it is. Finally able to up load.

[ctf]

Tough one...
It would not be macro, I would say an old barbecue grill... :)

[stupot]

sorry, was out. yup it was a golf ball well done

[sdmaker]

At first glance I thought it was a file, but after looking closer I have no idea, lol.

[jr#8]

At first glance I thought it was a fileyes but what kind?

[sdmaker]

wow, it is a file? hmmm mill file, or autobody file.

[jr#8]

sdmaker yout up.
mill file, or autobody file Nope think smaller.

[ctf]

A knife sharpening file?

[ctf]

Or a jewelry file?

[jr#8]

ctf Nope to both of them.
A fingernail file.

[ctf]

Would have never thought that...

[sdmaker]

ahhhhhh, good one. I am gonna be gone for the day. so cft if you have something to post go ahead.

[ctf]

ahhhhhh, good one. I am gonna be gone for the day. so cft if you have something to post go ahead.

Well, the last "macro" shot that I have is not really hard to figure out...
Was more a test than anything else, anyway, here it comes...
http://www.cooltalkingfrog.com/Pics/Pic4.jpg

I need a specific name for this one, it's too easy otherwise... ;)

[chemicalbro]

rs232 plug

[ctf]

rs232 plug

Nope... :)

[chemicalbro]

ther cable from your monitor then?............HD15(male)

[ctf]

ther cable from your monitor then?............HD15(male)

Well, well...
I received the email saying Centronics and I now see that you changed your mind... :)

You are right, HD15 adapter...

http://www.cooltalkingfrog.com/Pics/Pic4a.jpg

[ctf]

That is official, I am now out of macro pics.
Will have to do some more this week-end...

Your turn.
Arno

[chemicalbro]

sorry for the delay
have a crack at this one
http://hellmouth.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/IMG_0099.jpg

[ctf]

Flash bracket mounting screws?

[chemicalbro]

nope..........

[ctf]

Is it related to photo equipment?

[chemicalbro]

no its not photographic............. it is however optical 8)

[ctf]

Microscope setting screw?

[chemicalbro]

no not a microscope

[ctf]

Then I really have no idea...

[RandyMN]

How about a telescope setting screw. Only other optics I know of outside the optomitrist is telescope, binocular, camera and microscope. Jewlers use an eye scope.

[jr#8]

Is it a lens vise?

[stupot]

rifle sight?

[RandyMN]

rifle sight?

You may be correct.

[chemicalbro]

randy has it........its the setting screws on my telescopes viewfinder
http://hellmouth.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/IMG_0100.jpg

[RandyMN]

The credit should really go to ctf as that was so close but give me some time tomorrow/or today for those not in CST USA, and I'll find something to shoot.

[chemicalbro]

lol if you say so............i'd say a microscope is a million miles away from a telescope tho :) (the rifle scope is actually closer)

[jr#8]

telescopes viewfinderWhat scope are you running?Seems like an ETX.and why don't you have it in your sig.?

[ctf]

i'd say a microscope is a million miles away from a telescope

:D
I love it!

Not my turn and I don't have pics anyway.
I am at work and I don't think that the cell phone will take good macro pics... :)

Arno

[RandyMN]

OK, I have one that may be too easy as it's something pretty common. At least in my house it is.

[ctf]

A perfume bottle viewed from the top?

[RandyMN]

No, nothing that you spray. But it is along the right line of thinking as it is something you would use for yourself. Most people carry this in their pocket or their purse.

[RandyMN]

OK, no one is guessing so I'm going to have to post the other side of the same object.

[ctf]

A medication bottle or contact lenses carrier?

[RandyMN]

Nope.

[jr#8]

Chap stick or nasal inhaler?

[RandyMN]

It is a chap stick.

[jr#8]

I know I'm next just trying to get something good, I'll have it tonight.

[jr#8]

OK here it is. I'll give it a while. Then I'll make it a little bigger.

[nactos]

looks like the head of a robot coming outta the water.
