The super macro guessing game

[boomer1959]

Not a FISH bone ;) ;) ;)

[Bald Eagle]

no, sorry, i changed it to elkhorn or a deer horn

[boomer1959]

Bald you finally got it :D Yes you could make a knife out of it. Your turn Bald.

[Bald Eagle]

thanks, i knew what it was, just couldnt say it right. brain freeze. one coming right up.

[Bald Eagle]

I picked an easy one. here goes

[Bald Eagle]

ok, im going to bed, have fun with this one,

[hauff]

Is it a felt footpad on the bottom of a laptop?

[Bald Eagle]

nope, but you are warm

[tim]

It's an interdimensional portal opened by the borg near earth. You can see one of saturns moons in the bottom left corner.

[Angel_LCD]

the locking whole to secure the laptop ?

[Ian Parkin]

infra red window on laptop/anything

Ian

[michapma]

I think tim is close, but I thought that moon was a redder shade of yellow.
Seems like an LED face on a computer, monitor or any number of devices.

(Maybe instead of putting a limit on the time or number of guesses, it would be better to tell what your pic is before you go to bed or otherwise disappear for several hours. Not criticizing, just a thought. I just read through the whole thread, and it reminds me of the "what is it?" guessing games I looked at as a kid in magazines. :)

[tommy6206]

CPU

[D3StRoY]

a footpad on a keyboard maybe ?

[CyberDyneSystems]

On a mouse (footpad)
One of those funky colored metalic looking mice...

[jeffherald]

Sprocket hole from a piece of film (photographed really close up)?

Oops, missed the hint.:o

So, how about the microphone hole on a laptop?

[felix21685]

do you guys think hte yellow inside the hole at the bottom is electric wire?

[Rob612]

Jeez, It seems that I cannot guess one of those... Could be some sort of infrared port, but im not sure...

[chakras]

It's an interdimensional portal opened by the borg near earth. You can see one of saturns moons in the bottom left corner.

Welcome to the next dimension :lol::lol::lol:

[Angel_LCD]

Where did Bald Eagle go ??? ;)

[Bald Eagle]

i apologize for being gone so long , minor emergency. taken care of. here is a hint to make up for it. has everything to do with computers

[Bald Eagle]

since i was gone so long, if you would like i will forfeit my turn and reveal what it is, again, sorry for being absent so long, I truly thought it would only take one guess, since everybody here is "loaded" with intelligence.

[jeffherald]

One last guess:

Is it the hole for the latch for the laptop lid?

[Bald Eagle]

no, but still very warm, here is a photo clue, hope it helps.

[jeffherald]

Oh, it's the hole on the spindle of a 3 1/2" floppy disk. Good one!

[Bald Eagle]

you got it, sorry for being gone, its up to you now, great guess.

[jeffherald]

Ok, try this one.

[Bald Eagle]

some kind of a wood-working tool?

[jeffherald]

no, not a tool.

[JakeC]

A key? House key car key etc...

[jeffherald]

Yes, it is a key.

Your turn.

[davepop]

Scissors?

[JakeC]

Beginners luck, will start getting something together....

[RMc]

I don't get the key.
I'd love to see more of it.

Randy

[Michaelmjc]

me either, how the heck is that a key?

[Curtis N]

Beginners luck, will start getting something together....Ok folks, I'm ready to play.

I've been watching this for a few days but didn't post a guess because I didn't have any shots to contribute.

Tonight I found some stuff to shoot. Then cropped, resized and prepared for uploading, just in case by sheer luck I guess one right.

I'm sure everyone else comes to the game prepared to play. Right? ;)

[jeffherald]

It is a small part of the key. I stood it on edge and took the shot from above.

Attached it a bigger pic.

[JakeC]

Thanks Jeff, was pretty sure it was the machined side of a key.

Here's the next one....

(see next page)

[jeffherald]

Sorry that came through so huge. :shock: I really don't have the hang of attaching images. As a recent convert from film, I am not good at post processing. I enjoy taking the shot and seeing the result. I don't do much with it after that. I need a photo editing class, I guess. :rolleyes:

It was fun playing this game though.

[chakras]

Pocket of your jeans

[JakeC]

Nope not pocket of Jeans... fabric is there though ;)

Edit: Just putting the image on this page to save ppl having to go backwards...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/JakeC/macroguess.jpg

[jeffherald]

Is is a bag with a nylon strap attached?

[JakeC]

Nope not a bag

[RMc]

Jake did a real fine job on that key. I had a little bit of trouble with the big pic.

Jake, your picture is a label inside jeans?

Randy

[jeffherald]

I'm going to bed now. It's 12:15am here.

I had fun. Thanks. I will check in tomorrow.

[Thenethiel]

Is it a nylon belt or something like that?

[JakeC]

Sorry Randy, not a label.

Night Jeff, nothing better to do here in Australia ( Sat 2.15pm), except process the mornings images and post on POTN;)

[JakeC]

You're up Chris, nylon belt through the loop in a pair of jeans. I was too slack to get any more creative lol

[Thenethiel]

OK here it is:

http://images.fotopic.net/yafjc1.jpg

[CyberPet]

Air filter for the car?

[Thenethiel]

Air filter for the car?

Nope, way off.

[ueb0258]

Shotgun shell

[Thenethiel]

Shotgun shell

Yep, I thought that one might go quick, you're up.

[ueb0258]

Once again I am at work so some please step in and post one up.

[boomer1959]

OK, I'll give you guys another one. You will never get this one.

[MrGibbage]

Butterfly wing?

[boomer1959]

HOLY!!!!!! Wow your good, :D

[boomer1959]

Your turn

[MrGibbage]

Unfortunately, I don't have a macro lens... yet. Somehow I have to convince the boss.... er... I mean "Wife" :) Someone else go.

Skip

[Rob612]

Skip

Ok, I'll take it...

Here it is...

http://www.digitalpics.it/forumlnk/macro/IMG_2421A.jpg

[tim]

Obviously some kind of gear, not an internal one. Is it gears for a clock?

[Rob612]

Tim, not a clock or part of it.

[DeltaWebb]

It IS a gear though right? Meaning it does fit into something to turn?

[DeltaWebb]

Dang! Just noticed that everyone is across the world from me! Probably out at night or sleeping. Just gonna have to wait I guess.

[CyberPet]

Uhm... worn down bicycle gear? Or maybe for a car (I'm still in the car mood today, saw a beautiful Ford T-model in MINT condition).

Btw I was going to say "shot gun shell, but that was too obvious so I thought it was going to be harder. :D

[Rob612]

Hint: it turns, actually. If it doesnt turn when needed, its useleless. Now, burn me with flames from hell :)

[GeForceFX]

is it the wheel on a lighter? (hope this is correct english :p)

[boomer1959]

Can Opener

[DeltaWebb]

is it the wheel on a lighter? (hope this is correct english :p)

That's gotta be it! The top of a cheap lighter with the two "grip" gears for your thumb and the flint file in the middle "valley" a little lower to make the spark!

That has to be right doesn't it?

[Jemram]

That's gotta be it! The top of a cheap lighter with the two "grip" gears for your thumb and the flint file in the middle "valley" a little lower to make the spark!

That has to be right doesn't it?

Has to be. Cant see anything else it can be.

[Rob612]

OK, GeForce's turn, but congrats to Delta & Jeremy for getting it also... Methink that the "Flames from hell" hint was not too subtle :D :D

Edit to add (just to keep this a little techie) the pic was taken with a Tamron 90mm Macro backed by the new Kenko 3x Tcon... the little thing is really funny to use, converts the 90 to a 270 and keeps the macro capabilities. Of course, no AF but what the hec, for 200 bucks...

http://www.digitalpics.it/forumlnk/macro/IMG_2421B.jpg

[Angel_LCD]

[RMc]

This game does have its slow moments. :confused:
Should we make a limit of how long we wait for the next picture? Or even a reply of guesses?

[pcasciola]

It's 1AM in Scotland, so we might not see another pic for a while.

[Angel_LCD]

Thanks chemicalbro. Well now, let me go see what I can find.

[hauff]

I'm out in the field today and I don't have a macro on my laptop. I'll default my turn to Petra if she has something ready to go. She plays the game pretty hard and deserves a kick at the cat.

[CyberPet]
