The super macro guessing game

[G3owner]

A detail of a comb?

[G3owner]

The speaker opening on your laptop

[Angel_LCD]

Nope and nope :p far from. I took this one to be too easy ;)

[DeltaWebb]

End of a flash card?

[RockOne]

A zip disk drive ?

[Angel_LCD]

End of a flash card?

Yes ;) Sony Memorystick to be exact :) Your turn DeltaWebb :)
Whole picture :

[DeltaWebb]

HA! LOL I guessed that because that was one of the things I was going to try! I don't have a macro lens and I'm off to work in a few minutes. Let me see what I can come up with real quick.

[DeltaWebb]

:( Having trouble with my new Elements download. Need to give up my turn and do it again later. :(

Anyone with something can take over! :)

Off to work...no access to the internet in the field. :(

[D3StRoY]

Than ill take your turn, I'm gonna shoot something right now. Hold on :)

* Edit : here it is, i hope its not to hard. Little bit soft focussed.

Good Luck !

[G3owner]

Focusing or aperture ring on your lens?

Edit: or actually the grip on that ring...

[D3StRoY]

Nope :D you can see my camera in my avatar though ;)

[RockOne]

Its a tripod leg-lock ?

[D3StRoY]

Nope, not even close to it ;)

[Angel_LCD]

Bottom on a travel mug/thermos ?

[mg09]

switch for your car windows?

and why is it im never here when i know the answer the second i see the image? :)

[chakras]

switch on a flashlight ?

[D3StRoY]

Angel_LCD > no
mg09 > nopes
chakras > and no ! :D

Its not a switch or a button ("slightly" close to it though)

A tip : look at the shadow

[prime80]

Is it the main dial on your camera?

[etaf]

sunglasses

[D3StRoY]

prime80 & etaf : nope, you can ask me questions if you prefer some progress :)

[etaf]

whats the material of the background

[D3StRoY]

Plastic, sprayed with a silver metallic color.

[Angel_LCD]

Looks like a screw in top of some kind :p but not sure what kind though.

[D3StRoY]

Tip 2 : All materials in this picture are : Plastic

Quite difficult shot aint it hehe ;)

[RinkRat]

Dial for radio Volume?

[D3StRoY]

RinkRat, nope... more questions welcome !

[Rob612]

I know its some sort of a sliding switch, but I have no clue.

[D3StRoY]

Rob612 you are very close, indeed it can slide !

[etaf]

electric mixer, whisk
i thought switch was already mentioned and it was not a switch - wait a min - you said slide

[Angel_LCD]

A water tap ?

[D3StRoY]

water tap hehe, nope angel ;) etaf, you are close about the electric mixer thing. not a kichen thing hah !

Short Hint : black and white colors can be found. ( i think i said too much but it has to come to an end.)

[Angel_LCD]

pepperbox :p

[D3StRoY]

hahaha no not a pepperbox :D

[etaf]

i can only think of an electric drill/screwdriver black and white colours can be found :( :(

[D3StRoY]

About the black and white colors ( this "device" has lots of them ) sounds good huh ?

I'm gonna sleep right now, i hear some thunderstorms coming up so i need to have my tripod ready also :D

Cya tomorrow !

[Rob612]

Rob612 you are very close, indeed it can slide !

Jeez this one is killing me... some sort of a slider lock. A scuba lamp maybe ? Or some sort of a mixer cursor ? Argh... I'm going to bed ! :(

[felix21685]

yeah you guys are right it looks like a sliding switch for a mixing board..but then it looks round so who knows what it is..

[JSolie]

I've seen a slider/switch/dial like this before, but where eludes me. Might it be a slector on a radio alarm clock?

-- John

[rich_yau]

is it photo related?

[chakras]

Clip on the band of a plastic watch:p j/k

[MAGIcAL]

is it a zoom button in a videocam? :-?

[DeltaWebb]

I just got off work and am checking in to see who and what took my turn and I'm totally stumped! Ithought for sure it was a switch on a flashlight!

[Bald Eagle]

a blender?

[JSolie]

Now I remember where I've seen something with that pattern! It was the locking ring on a canister type vacuum cleaner for locking attachments into place on the hose.

This may not be your item, but this was bugging me for the last several hours... :mrgreen:

Come on John, we all saw that pattern somewhere, otherwise do you think that we were just guessing :p j/k

[DeltaWebb]

About the black and white colors ( this "device" has lots of them ) sounds good huh ?

I'm gonna sleep right now, i hear some thunderstorms coming up so i need to have my tripod ready also :D

Cya tomorrow !

C'mon!!! You've been sleeping for 10 hours!!! Get up and give more clues or something! I'm dying over here! Now I have to go to bed and I will toss and turn and not sleep a wink because I don't know what this is! :confused: :confused: :confused:

Don't guess without me! :)

[JSolie]

Come on John, we all saw that pattern somewhere, otherwise do you think that we were just guessing :p j/k

:p Well, I just went down to the garage to check (at 11:30pm, no less:rolleyes:), and the ring on my old Hoover is close (rats!) and grey to boot. :lol:

[JSolie]

Final guess of the night (not sure if it's a duplicate): Air vent control from your car?

[Wazza]

Feet on the bottom of a keyboard?

[SuperFly]

This has been guessed before, and having had a closer look at it, it does indeed look like the zoom in/out button on a handycam.

[BearLeeAlive]

I'm thinkin' that 17 hrs of sleep so far is way too much.

We sholud let someone who has not posted a pic on this thread to do so.

I was real keen on this thread, lots of fun, but this pace is way too slow for this kinda thing.

Thoughts?

[Rob612]

I think that the member that posted the pic is overseas for you. Here it 4 PM, give him time to get back from work... :)

[CyberDyneSystems]

Too slow?

Wow.. 11 pages in no two days!!!!

[BearLeeAlive]

By slow I was just refering to the length of time for this one guess. The number of posts is incredible.

This pace is probably better for me anyway as the flurry of activity earlier on only had me spending too much time here.

I will take a pill and try not to sit so close to the edge of my seat waiting for the next edition of The Super Macro Guessing Game........lol

[D3StRoY]

Sorry guys i'm a busy man on daytime (work) you all got it totally wrong hahahahaha :D
Though i had some fun reading everything !

Someone said : Feet on the bottom of a keyboard?

This is very close to the related device i was talking about. :D ( now it should be easy to guess)

[hauff]

OK....you win. What is it???????


24 hrs. is to much for me too. Perhaps a time limit or maximum number of guesses could be imposed. Then disclose that image and it's still your turn with a new photo. This would keep the game rolling and the interest levels up, I think.

[D3StRoY]

Good idea from hauff, if more agree i could give the awnser and post a simple picture haha :D

[BearLeeAlive]

I guess you know I agree with hauff

[hauff]

I guess you know I agree with hauff


lol....Alberta vs The World.

[Ian Parkin]

Is it the pitch bend control on a keyboard

Ian

[egf]

The Object is the Positive end of a Pelight Batterry AAA. Right?

[BearLeeAlive]

We can take 'em Bryan

[egf]

I mean a Penlight Battery. Right?

[D3StRoY]

Is it the pitch bend control on a keyboard

Ian

Final result below :
http://members.chello.nl/e.schopbijkerk/modulation.jpg

So Ian Parking youre up !! Go ahead ;)

[Ian Parkin]

well thanks but i got to do some work so i'll post one later...anyone else want to do one....Why not have a few say 3 going at one time with a simple number so answers go to the right pic then the thread can go faster with the boring things like sleep /work/international time differences...
Ian

[D3StRoY]

I think 3 pictures will be a bit messy imo.
This just happened because my picture was a bit hard to guess :)

[Ian Parkin]

ok quick one should be easy ( i think)

[chakras]

Ian Parkin, you got it !!! finally haha :)
Its a pitch bend control too yes but i photographed the modulation wheel.


I protest. Why does my keyboard have a different looking switch for controlling modulation ? :evil: :lol:

[chakras]

Ah, the emblem on your car. Now which one is it ?:confused:

[etaf]

part of watch face

[Ian Parkin]

chakras is right...how specific should i be? brand? model?year?mileage?

[Angel_LCD]

[chakras]

Com'on Angel_LCD. I think guessing is much easier than getting something to photograph. Your turn:lol:

(I did think it was Benz, but was not that sure)

[chakras]

Angel must be really enjoying the sun. To keep the ball rolling, let me do the honor:lol::lol:

Edit: Will be back in 15 min

[hauff]

It looks like the lever you pull back to put staples in a stapler??

[chakras]

You are correct. Ball on your court now :lol::lol:

[ueb0258]

[Angel_LCD]

Welcome to the fun thread ueb0258 ;) hehe I was so wondering about this one BearLeeAlive :p I could'nt place the gold pieces in the image there ??? or maybe it just was the light that did that :p

[BearLeeAlive]

Angel, It was reflections on the casting. Definitely not gold if it is Dell..lol

[ueb0258]

Someone else please jump in. I dont have the ability here at work to post up something.

do you guys post crops of pictures if you dont have macro lenses or how do you do pics for this forum ?

[Bald Eagle]

for me, it depends on the subject, you dont want to reveal to much or its too easy.

[boomer1959]

I guess I guessed that due to being a mechanic for 27 years :lol:

[Bald Eagle]

[boomer1959]

Bone hilt?????

[Bald Eagle]
