[the_erickee]

maybe a tip of a souldering iron?

[chemicalbro]

nope not a soldering iron.........

[weka2000]

Air brush?

[chemicalbro]

nope.........not an airbrush........... (funny thing is both a soldering iron and an airbrush are things i've posted in this game before :))

Air does however have something to do with this item

[Rob612]

Looks like sort of detail of a bolt action rifle, like part of the chamber and of the percussion group.

[Mike Bell]

One of the pipes in an organ?

[3Turner]

dog whistle

[chemicalbro]

3Turner has it......it's a dog whistle

[3Turner]

Well, since I am out of town on business and the PS camera I have is not capable of providing a decent picture, someone else can take it.

[Mike Bell]

I have this one.

a reed out of a wind instrument?

Nice guess but wrong.

Looking closely is the key to this one.

[jr#8]

carbon fiber

[Mike Bell]

carbon fiber

Way off! It's small, but not that small. These things you find lying about in almost every house, but they don't work until you pick them up.

[tbfoto]

Looks like a tube of lip stick?

[Mike Bell]

Looks like a tube of lip stick?

I see what you mean but ..... no!

But you would need these to help get the lipstick on right.

[yonioron]

glasses?

[Action_Man]

Is it a cable on a bicycle or a dart ? ...

[Mike Bell]

glasses?

CORRECT! (The bit where the metal side bit meets the plastic ear things, to be precise). Just out of this shot LOL! Well ... use your imagination! LOL!

I can't believe you stumped us with the same object twice. No matter what you post next time I'm saying glasses.

James

Hehe! It's just that our house is full of them - all mysteriously lying in the wrong place when you want a pair!

[Canonada]

Since I'm new here, I haven't followed the thread from the beginning. Checking 275 pages of posts is quite a chore. Without doing that I'm afraid that what ever I pick may have already been done. Is there a listing of all the macro objects posted somewhere? If not, I will just have to post something. I will get it up tomorrow.

Joe

[the_erickee]

it doesnt matter if the object is the same. just make it difficult. lol

[jr#8]

Yup just post something. We had glass's for 3 images a few posts ago. and the last one was the hardest. So go ahead.

[bbulldog]

Its the invisible man?

[Canonada]

Here it is. Sorry for the delay in posting.

Joe

[Geostant]

Canonada :

Potato flakes ?

[Canonada]

Geostant

Sorry, not potato flakes.

Joe

[Mike Bell]

Bread?

[Canonada]

Mike,
Sorry, not bread.

Joe

[Geostant]

Would say sawdust
but seems too small and delicate for that (and too obvious :d)

[the_erickee]

maybe coconaut

[Rumjungle]

Cereal?

[Canonada]

Geostant, your are corrrect. It's saw dust. Actually, sweepings from the shop floor.

Joe

[Mike Bell]

Too late! Just missed it!

You're up, Geostant!

[Geostant]

Geostant, your are corrrect. It's saw dust. Actually, sweepings from the shop floor.

Joe

Oh my... :lol: :cool:
Means I'm next ?

Gimi a day to arrange a shot

[jr#8]

I'm not to sure but a day seems alittle to long, Does'n t it

[chemicalbro]

i would say so..
only takes 5 minutes to throw on a macro lens and find some interesting article in the house

[the_erickee]

^^yeah that...

[Geostant]

Sorry for the late post
it does takes 5 minutes when you got a camera :rolleyes:

But I was scuba diving and got back only now :cool:

Some kind of sugary biscuit?

[Geostant]

Some kind of sugary biscuit?

Nope :p

[milleker]

Looks like a frosted flake?

[Geostant]

Nope

[yonioron]

part of a reef or coral?

[Geostant]

part of a reef or coral?

Nope, but nice try :cool:

[Mike Bell]

Old building mortar?

[Geostant]

Old building mortar?

Mike... you're next !

Indeed a mortar,
but not an old but new... it's my house :cool:

just 20 years old :lol:

[Mike Bell]

Mike... you're next !

Indeed a mortar,
but not an old but new... it's my house :cool:

just 20 years old :lol:

That's cool, Geostant. Most new mortar in Britain is bland uniform grey stuff, but old buildings and walls often have nice irregular stuff with coloured crystals and white bits - just like yours!

Here's a nice easy one:

postman pats black n white cat ? :)

[Action_Man]

Reading Glasses :) ...

[yonioron]

some sort of coin?

[Mike Bell]

postman pats black n white cat ? :)

:lol: :lol: :lol: nice guess!

Surpisingly ..... it is wrong!:rolleyes:

[Mike Bell]

Reading Glasses :) ...

Ahem! :rolleyes: I do know how to photograph other things apart from glasses! :lol:

[Ross McT.]

something patented?

[Mike Bell]

some sort of coin?

At last a sensible guess!:rolleyes: ................but no!

Time for a clue. I suspect all of you have one of these, though perhaps not of this particular make. It is very relevant to these forums.

[Mike Bell]

something patented?

Well done, Ross - yes, you can see part of the word "Patented" but ON WHAT? :)

[Ross McT.]

bottom of a camera

[Mike Bell]

bottom of a camera

He's on the right track, guys! Not a camera though.

I sense the guesses are going to take off now! :)

[Ross McT.]

battery grip?

[Rob612]

Tripod or monopod head or part ? The type of surface makes me thinking about carbon-fibre type or the similar.

[Mike Bell]

Guesses are fast but you haven't quite achieved escape velocity yet! ;)

[Mike Bell]

Come on guys! I want to go to bed! :rolleyes:

Listen to the clues! :rolleyes:

What takes off and achieves escape velocity? :)

[Ross McT.]

A patented rocket with a camera or camera accessory on it?

[Mike Bell]

A patented rocket with a camera or camera accessory on it?

Do I sense desperation, Ross? :lol:

Final clue: What's the safest way to clean your sensor?

[Rob612]

Except a rocket or a satellite nothing else I know of... oh wait, there is another thing, myself when my wife founds a new camera in my bag :) (just joking, I don't have that problem my wife is always informed).

[Ross McT.]

Send it to canon!

[Rob612]

An airbrush ?

[Mike Bell]

An airbrush ?

or a .......... ?

Looks like a ...........? Some of them are even called a ............?

OOOH! You are both so close! :lol:

[Rob612]

Pecpad ? Last try on my side its time for bed here also :)

[Rob612]

Or maybe a Rocket Blower ? This is really the last one :)

[Mike Bell]

Or maybe a Rocket Blower ? This is really the last one :)

CORRECT!

Now you have to put up a pic and stay up all night to answer all the guesses from people in parts of the world where bedtime is still a long way off - most of North America to name a few million!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Goodnight Rob (and Ross). That was a lot of fun!

[Ross McT.]

Now that i know what it looks like i have to buy one ive been using a silicone infant blower and sudenly its not cool anymore.

[Rob612]

Remember that its time to sleep here, you friends on the other side of the pond... :)

Answers in a minimum of 6 hours.

Here it is.

What is a silicone infant blower? I've never heard of a blower for babies before, or the fact that infants need to be blown.:eek::)

As for your picture, Rob, rotten egg?

[yonioron]

burnt marshmellow?

[Athena]

Dirty cotton swab. :)

[Mike Bell]

On my monitor it looks like the groin of a very hairy anaemic guy whose hernia operation went very wrong! :(

[Rob612]

All three wrong. Hint: a lot of people hate that stuff

[GAV]

some kind of fruit gone bad?

[Action_Man]

It is a burning cigarette :D ...

[jr#8]

very hairy anaemic guy whose hernia operation went very wrong! I like that one.
I had one done awhile back with a radical cystoprostatectomy and I dont look like that.

[the_erickee]

how about some insulation?

[Rumjungle]

All three wrong. Hint: a lot of people hate that stuff

A Nikon camera?

[Qtrmeg]

I hate blue cheese.

[Rob612]

It is a burning cigarette :D ...

Bingo ! Action Man, you're next :)

[Action_Man]

This one should be easy :D ...

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7361/macro1ft.jpg

[Qtrmeg]

20 amp fuse?

[Action_Man]

Yes its a 20amp spade fuse, sorry if i made it too easy, next time i`ll make it harder ...

http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/641/competition5va.jpg

[Mike Bell]

Got a photo, Qtrmeg?

[Qtrmeg]

I love easy ones, saves me from making stupit guesses.

Do I have a photo? Nope, but I should have one within a fews days, and then I'll take a nap when I post it. ;-)

BRB

[Qtrmeg]

Here's "an easy one".

[Geostant]

CD-ROM ?
(of the poor quality ;))

[Qtrmeg]

It's not a cd-rom, but it is low quality.

[Mike Bell]

It's the disc of thin foam packaging that comes with lens filters in their boxes. Is it?

[Qtrmeg]

Neigh, me boy. Wouldn't you be closer if you said it was a pair of Elton's glasses.

[jr#8]

air or fuel filter

[Qtrmeg]

No, but the construction of this item is very similar.

[Qtrmeg]

The item isn't the only thing of low quality, the picture was a bit rushed. Here's another part towards the upper right...

[Qtrmeg]

Now if someone was clever they could take pic #1 & #2 and have an image virtually 4 times the size of the original. Then if they go Sherlock could deduce that this cheap item has a similar construction as an air/oil filter.

..as Sherlock fills his pipe, a classic excuse to buy time to think, he wonders why the colors are not all the same.

[Matoch]

It looks like one of those hand held fans.

Or maybe part of a window blind but those would be odd colors.

James

[Qtrmeg]

Well Matoch, it just so happens it is a hand held fan. You're up.

[Matoch]

Here we go.

[Geostant]

Some sort of chalk stones ?

[jr#8]

drawing coals.

[Paul_O]

Looks to me like a firelighter, what we call jiffys?

[GAV]

some kinda funky and weird lipstick?

[Mike Bell]

Look like sticks of chalk to me too - but how do you draw on a blackboard with black chalk?? :rolleyes:

[Geostant]
