[BullittMan]

[jr#8]

ok I'll make it alittle bigger.

[chemicalbro]

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

yeah its an ETX 90 UHTC
I don't have it in my siggy because it's not really photographic equipment IMO

[chemicalbro]

PS the pic looks ;ike the back of a scart connector

[jr#8]

scartWhats a scart. If you mead a d25 then ypuv'e got it.
yeah its an ETX 90 UHTC
I don't have it in my siggy because it's not really photographic equipment IMO Why not. Do you do any astrophotography.

[long jetty]

Nope.

[long jetty]

Oh whoopes yes it is a keyhole, u guys are posting to quick lol

[Cybnew]

[long jetty]

Ill have another go, hopefully this one is a bit harder.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/surfgrommit/guess.jpg

[sdmaker]

tooth brush?

[long jetty]

Yeah....

[chemicalbro]

Why not. Do you do any astrophotography.

yeah i do a little astrophotography ............but thats like calling my camera astronomy equipment because i can hook it up to the telescope...(any photos i post on here aren't taken with the telescope)....

I just don't think the telescope is relevant in a signature on here if i don't use it in any of my posted photos. (maybe when i get good enough at astro photos i may post some, then i'll put the scope in my siggy :))

i just got an lpi camera and an off axis guider (i plan to use the lpi to guide the scope for long exposures with the 350D, so far the results have been pretty good but the weather has been terrible recently and i've not had much chance to practice)

[chemicalbro]

ps it's not my go becasue a D25 isn;'t a scart........scart is an audio/video socket
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/another_world/scart.htm

[sdmaker]

Someone please jump in and post something, I am away from home and will not be able to for a while.

http://www.ceretti.com/msn/ffm.jpg

[BIGTUFFGUY]

[MagentaJoe]

It's not human. I will say that much. I told my wife it was a fruit fly embryo, she wasn't overly happy.

[nactos]

i thought it's more like a friut seed in a peach sauce... maybe cus i'm hungry.

[chemicalbro]

is it part of an oyster/muscle/clam (shellfish of some description)

[MagentaJoe]

I think your close enough Nactos. It's some spit out cherry pits. Post away!

[Mike Bell]

Don't see any photo am_pitbull_terrier. Does that leave the field free for this one?
http://www.bellsbothy.eclipse.co.uk/photos/detail.jpg

[Mike Bell]

:oops: SORRY! (Honestly there was no pic there when I started my post!)
Just ignore mine for the purposes of progressing the thread. Apologies.

[Mike Bell]

Is it an antler am_pitbull_terrier?

[am_pitbull_terrier]

Is it an antler am_pitbull_terrier?

Yeah, It is, I knew it wouldn't be too hard:)

[chemicalbro]

Mike is yours the valves on a trumpet/saxophone......

[Mike Bell]

I win! So back to my photo then:

http://www.bellsbothy.eclipse.co.uk/photos/detail.jpg

First one to get it takes over the thread. Not too hard I think......

[Mike Bell]

Mike is yours the valves on a trumpet/saxophone......

Close .... but not either of those instruments. Think smaller....

[chemicalbro]

clarinet

[3Turner]

flute

[MagentaJoe]

Piccolo?

[Mike Bell]

I'm going to give it to chemicalbro because he was the closest. (Nothing at all to do with the fact that he is a fellow Scot, you understand! ;) )

It is some keywork on an oboe.

Over to you chemicalbro!

[chemicalbro]

i don't have anything ready at the moment.......and i'm just about to go to bed after a nightshift.......... so one of the others jump in

[Rumjungle]

I've got one:

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a380/rumjungle/EOS%20350D/guess3.jpg

[Mike Bell]

Is it one of those sticky nutty crunchy bar things you get in the supermarket?

[beesparkle]

It looks gros lol ...... wheeto? or bird cake?

[Rumjungle]

Nope.

[Rumjungle]

It looks gros lol ...... wheeto? or bird cake?

Yes, it does look gross, doesn't it?:)

I'll give you a hint: you've probably consumed it at some point in your life!

[sdmaker]

No bake cookie?

[Rumjungle]

Nope. It comes in a bag...

[sdmaker]

Samoa cookie or some kind of granola bar?

[Rumjungle]

No, not a bar of any kind. Hint: It's available for purchase in almost every city in the world.

[Rumjungle]

You know, I didn't think it'll be this challenging but I guess it's something no one every really looks at too closely.

[jr#8]

caramel popcorn

[Rumjungle]

Definately not popcorn. You're gonna kick yourselves when I tell you.:)

Give up?

[Prologue]

Some kind of disgusting trail mix?

[sdmaker]

Give up?

I certainly do, lol.

[Rumjungle]

[chemicalbro]

And that folks, is why I drink coffee:lol:

LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Rumjungle]

And that folks, is why I drink coffee:lol:

LMAO!:lol::D:lol:

So who's next?

[sdmaker]

I'll put one up if no body minds.

[stupot]

saw blade?

[sdmaker]

nope not a saw blade

[Scunner]

Serrated edge of a key?

[beesparkle]

tip of a meat hammer (tenderisor) Cant think of its proper name but its for tenderising the steak.... or who was the chap in 007 with metal teeth? it could be his dentures!

[Rumjungle]

tip of a meat hammer (tenderisor) Cant think of its proper name but its for tenderising the steak

I was going to guess the same, or the teeth from the jaws of a vice, perhaps.

[Matoch]

I have no idea what it's callled but I've seen something similar on some swiss army knives.

James

[sdmaker]

none of the above. Here is a bigger view, will give some clues in a bit if no one gets it

[Matoch]

Jar Opener?

James

[3Turner]

circular saw drill bit.

[pcasciola]

foot peg?

[sdmaker]

all good guesses, but no. these teeth are pretty small, maybe about the size of a hacksaw blades teeth.

[Rumjungle]

knurling?

[sdmaker]

Nope, not a knurling.

It is not a saw blade, but it is used to cut something.

[Scunner]

Fabric scissors?

[sdmaker]

no, not scissors.

Sometimes they are made from plastic.

[MagentaJoe]

The teeth on a strip on plastic wrap/tin foil box?

[sdmaker]

I think that is close enough, actually its the teeth on a scotch tape dispenser. your up MagentaJoe.

[MagentaJoe]

Woohoo... ok be right back

[MagentaJoe]

This should be easy...

http://www.ceretti.com/msn/potn/poxe.jpg

[Scunner]

Edge of a Canadian coin, perhaps?

[MagentaJoe]

I knew it would be easy but it was easier than I thought. I'll have to work on that for next time.

http://www.ceretti.com/msn/potn/penny.jpg

Your turn Scunner!

[Scunner]

http://weescunner.smugmug.com/photos/44858795-M.jpg

[MagentaJoe]

Copper cooling fins? Is that a cpu cooler?

Cool pic BTW!

[Scunner]

Indeed it is!

That was taken with my "old" G6. I took a few with my 350D and 100mm f/2.8 macro, but wow! There was way too much dust on that thing to show off in public!

Back to you, Joe.

[MagentaJoe]

Great! OK Since I got burned so fast last time here is something fairly common but it should still be difficult.

http://www.ceretti.com/msn/potn/difficult.jpg

I'd better go to bed! I'll check in when I awaken. Good luck.

[jr#8]

hair iron for making it kinky

[Matoch]

This is painful. The stuff I guess correctly is usually already guessed by the time I get back online =(

What does this tell me? I need to spend more time online.

As for this one. Some silver thing with a pattern?

Ok I'll be honest. I have no idea.

James

[MagentaJoe]

Anymore guesses or should I give a clue?

[Rumjungle]

Clue please. I can't even venture a guess.:lol:

[MagentaJoe]

It's "see through"... I'll post another clue in a bit if nobody gets it.

[MagentaJoe]

It costs a quarter.

[Belmondo]

Binoculars?

[MagentaJoe]

You've got it, Belmondo! This particular set is looking across the Detroit River from Windsor.

http://www.ceretti.com/msn/potn/binoculars.jpg

[Belmondo]

Your clue was the clincher. Before that, I didn't have a clue.

I'll pass my turn to anyone else. I'm stuck in a hotel right now.

[Rumjungle]

Good one, MagentaJoe.

[MagentaJoe]

Thanks! Browsing through 40,000 pictures looking for an interesting texture from something most people have seen and/or touched before, that was not so obvious to be guessed right away, was a bit tricky. I have lots of esoteric pictures of industrial processes and equipment but that's just no fair!

[BearLeeAlive]

Here's one to try

50960

[MagentaJoe]

Looks like mushrooms ot me.

[BearLeeAlive]

It is an edible food product, but mushrooms, no.

[MagentaJoe]

Seaweed?

[jr#8]

dead grass

[BearLeeAlive]

Nope, and nope.

Each strand is about 1/32" or 1mm in size. The colour in the top left corner is the main colour of the item.

[frydryce]

onion?

[BearLeeAlive]

You got it. Now give us a hard one......lol
50977

[frydryce]

actually i'm just here to guess right now. i wont be able to post up a new picture for a few days as i'm recovering from a tonsillectomy right now =)

sorry about messing up the order.

[chemicalbro]

Thanks! Browsing through 40,000 pictures looking for an interesting texture from something most people have seen and/or touched before,! most americans/canadians you mean............. i've personally never seen or touched one in my life :)

[jr#8]

fry get better. I recent had a few major surgery's and you'll be over that tonsilthingy before you kow it

[MagentaJoe]

most americans/canadians you mean............. i've personally never seen or touched one in my life :)


I've seen those things at tourist spots all over the world, maybe you just weren't "looking?" Pun intended.

[Qtrmeg]

Not to be a pest, but here's an easy one to keep things going.

[frydryce]

fry get better. I recent had a few major surgery's and you'll be over that tonsilthingy before you kow it

Thanks jr. my throat just hurts like hell to the point where its a pain to eat, drink, or even swallow. The past day its been getting worse because i guess my throat is less swollen and the pain receptors are now back 100%.

I'll be sure to post up when i can get back out and take some good photos

[Qtrmeg]

Of course it is only easy if you know what it is, but everybody has or has had one. The first picture was the inside, here is one of the outside, (although I think mine may be haunted).

[BullittMan]

a sponge?

[Qtrmeg]

No, but it acts like one, and is man made.

[BearLeeAlive]

Toasted bread

[Qtrmeg]

Actually fresh right out of a bread machine.
