The super macro guessing game

[windshadow]

No to both. :(

[jr#8]

cucumber

[Mike6158]

Cactus

[Action_Man]

This is going to take a long time :( ...

[Matoch]

It is somewhat similar to asking what is this color. And then requiring exact rgb values to be guessed.

A leaf should really be close enough.

James

[Ross McT.]

venus fly trap?

[BearLeeAlive]

A leaf should really be close enough.

The right answer is whatever the poster is looking for, otherwise things could be too easy, but if an easy answer is all they are looking for, then that is cool.

[Mike6158]

The key to this one is "succulent leaf"...

Agave?
Aloevera has already been guessed.
Cactus too...

[BearLeeAlive]

Hawthoria?

[Mike6158]

Hawthoria?

Oh sure... do a web search <grumble grumble... I knew I should have written that one down >> :D :D :D

[BearLeeAlive]

Sedum?

[BearLeeAlive]

Oh sure... do a web search <grumble grumble... I knew I should have written that one down >> :D :D :D

What, you don't believe I have a degree in botany?:lol::lol::lol:

[windshadow]

*Clue* Think Desert :)

[photobitz]

Are you looking for a specific species or just type?
Which country are we likely to find it in? African desert is a LOT different to Australian desert!

[bbulldog]

Saguaro Cactus otherwise known as
Carnegiea gigantea
(Cereus giganteus)

[jr#8]

I wouldn't think you would need the exact name of the specific plant( or the Latin Name). I think if you guessed the right family that would be close enough. Were not botonist's here.

Not only that but in some places of the world succulents are few and far between.

[BearLeeAlive]

[windshadow]

Sorry folk Cactus is right, it's been a long few days and some how missed this answer :oops: Oh well kept you all guessing lol



Cactus

[Mike6158]

ROFL... you're a cruel person :D

Dang... caught me with my drawers down and I don't have a pic :shock: and this isn't the right forum for Glamour :D :D :D

Someone else go...

[windshadow]

I'll just stick to guessing for now, till I have more than an 8th of my brain working lol

[photobitz]

OK Mike,

If you aren't posting a pic here's one...

Sorry about embedding... I'd link if I had webspace.

[windshadow]

Deer?

[Rumjungle]

Moth?

[3Turner]

I think it's a moth also.

[Jhawk906]

Spider.

[dzstudios]

Your woolly knitted jumper.

[Athena]

One of those fuzz covered plastic Easter Rabbits. ;)

[Mikelangelo]

I'm with dzstudios... a wool sweater? Oh...a wool sock?

[photobitz]

Spider.

Good guess! Iwas expecting that to take longer!

[Mikelangelo]

wow...wicked pick... spiders scare me!

[Mike Bell]

You're up Jhawk906!

[Mike Bell]

Don't know what the rest of you think but I think one day is long enough to wait for someone to check if they have guessed right in this thread. It's happened before and we just carried on.

So, since I have one ready, here goes:

[TooManyHobbies]

golf club?

[Mike Bell]

golf club?

I know what you mean. But no, ............... much smaller!

[back to black]

just gonna throw it out there, horse shoe maybe????

[TooManyHobbies]

Some kind of centering or aiming mechanism?

[Mike6158]

You're gonna be in big trouble if I guess right :shock:

A piece of the alien craft that crashed near Roswell, New Mexico? aka a "weather balloon" yeah right... sure... um hum... we all know the truth... :)

http://www.websmileys.com/sm/aliens/spacecraft.gif

[Mikelangelo]

I don't recognize the symbol..but it looks like a metal dial to control the setting on something. The ridges would be to keep from slipping while turning it.

edit: maybe it's a dial on the "weather balloon" from new mexico?

[GAV]

Alien dentures? Probably Zork's. He's leaving things everywhere!

[jr#8]

could it be a thumb wheel of one of your old cameras?

[3Turner]

movie prop from Zathura.

[TooManyHobbies]

Part of a valve? That the P&ID symbol for one.
or
The ring of a filter?

[photobitz]

Mount from an old FD lens?

[Mike Bell]

aiming mechanism

Good observations you two. Worth keeping in mind. Mmmm ...... Lot of intelligent guesses out there (Mental note: Must send message to home galaxy - there is intelligent life on this planet - we will plan our invasion soon, my friends).

But you are all wrong! :cry:

Here is another macro pic of the same object:

http://static.flickr.com/54/117294998_26cefd7b82_o.jpg

[back to black]

the whole pic or just the metal piece in the middle??

[TooManyHobbies]

Part of a small electrical contact or motor?

[Mike6158]

Part of a valve? That the P&ID symbol for one.
or
The ring of a filter?

P&ID symbol? Sounds like someone works in the same business I do.

But you are all wrong! :cry:

Sure we are... we know conspiracy when we see it :D

[Mike Bell]

the whole pic or just the metal piece in the middle??

Both are macro shots of different parts of the same object. The whole object measures about 12 cm by 5 cm by 1 cm. It is a measuring device - but which one, Earthlings?

[TooManyHobbies]

One of those small wheel thingies that measures equivalent distance on a map.

[Mike Bell]

You are on the right track with the mention of maps.

Here is one more view:

[windshadow]

compass?

[In2Photos]

compass?

I was just going to say that. Darn.

[Mike Bell]

compass?

CORRECT!

http://static.flickr.com/55/117294152_c4afb19647_o.jpg

A primitive but effective navigational tool invented by you intelligent Earthlings. It seems your puny intellect is indeed a match for my superior weapons - the invasion is cancelled. Sleep in peace, Planet Earth! :)

[Mike Bell]

I was just going to say that. Darn.

It's a tough old world isn't it! :lol:

You're up windshadow!

[windshadow]

I don't have anything just now you go ahead In2Photos :D

[In2Photos]

OK, here goes.

[Mike Bell]

Noodle soup?

[Mikelangelo]

Electrical wiring?

[Mike Bell]

You put electrical wiring in your soup!

Isn't that dangerous?

[In2Photos]

No to both, although that was pretty funny Mike.

[jr#8]

wool threads

[In2Photos]

wool threads

Nope. Man I thought this was going to be an easy one. But I bet everyone thinks that, don't they?

[Mike Bell]

Pond weed?

[windshadow]

Some kind of plant roots?

[jr#8]

some type of alge

[In2Photos]

Some kind of plant roots?

Correct, from a bamboo plant that sits in a vase of water and rocks. I can post the full pic later if anyone wants, not handy now.

[windshadow]

Ok here goes I finally found something.

[Mikelangelo]

No idea...

uhm.. paint on the wall? drywall? Not sure what those vertical 'creases' could be?

Leaf?

[back to black]

looks like old leather to me, maybe from like a car seat.

[windshadow]

no to both :)

[back to black]

is it a moldy clay sculpture

[exile]

First impression was a leaf...but the colour doesn't seem to fit. I think it might be a shell of some kind.

[windshadow]

is it a moldy clay sculpture

No :p

[windshadow]

First impression was a leaf...but the colour doesn't seem to fit. I think it might be a shell of some kind.

No :p

[Mike Bell]

I think it is a leaf. Specifically - the underside of a leaf on a very sick houseplant! ;)

[jr#8]

aquatic plant leaf

[back to black]

lizard...

[windshadow]

aquatic plant leaf

It isn't a plant of any kind.

[windshadow]

lizard...

No.

Three words associated with it are..
Water
Mud
Farms

Happy guessing :D

[photobitz]

A mouldy pig carcass?

A gumboot?

[Mike Bell]

Snail?

[back to black]

....snake....

[windshadow]

A mouldy pig carcass?

A gumboot?

Correct....A wellie, or gumboot to you photobitz :D

Next!!!

[Mikelangelo]

wow... I was definitely stumped.

[back to black]

that was tricky, good one

[webcrawlur]

Wow, I really suck at this game.:confused:

But it's so much fun...:p

[photobitz]

Correct....A wellie, or gumboot to you photobitz :D

Next!!!

Oh right... If I had noticed you were in England I would have said Wellie.

Hmmm... lets see what I have....

This should keep you guessing... I hope

[Mikelangelo]

crud... this is a "stump michael thread"

It almost looks like drywall/interior architecture...or simply a picasso?

[Action_Man]

A lemon squeezer ? ...

[In2Photos]

An umbrella from a small clay like figurine.

[Qtrmeg]

Lightbulb?

[photobitz]

A lemon squeezer ? ...

You made that seem obvious...Do you realise it took me an hour to find that to take photos of!.

[Action_Man]

Sorry photobitz i`ll take my time in future :D.

I`ll post one shortly ...

[Action_Man]

Here`s one that should be quite easy ...

http://img303.imageshack.us/img303/8572/guess0pg.jpg

[yonioron]

headphones?

[Mike Bell]

Microphone?

[Action_Man]

I thought it may be easy, out of the two answers both are technically correct as its a microphone attached to a headset, but it must go to Mike as he`s more exact :) ...

[yonioron]

argh! haha :p

[Action_Man]

Before Mike posts i`ll say Spectacles :D ...

[jr#8]

Before Mike posts i`ll say Spectacles:p

Don't know what the rest of you think but I think one day is long enough to wait for someone to check if they have guessed right in this thread. It's happened before and we just carried on.


Deja Vu ! ...

[dzstudios]

Spectacles!

[jr#8]

Hey Mike whats taking so long( He's probably doing it on purpose).

[In2Photos]

Maybe his glasses broke and he is waiting until the new ones come in.:)

[webcrawlur]

Mind if I try? Here goes...

[Rumjungle]

Um, eye?

[webcrawlur]

eye suck at both sides of this game, :cry:

oh well, your turn I guess... :lol:

[jr#8]

Hey Rum was at your link, What lens did you use for the birds and about how far away where you?

[Rumjungle]

I'll take a pass, I'm going to be stuck at work for a while and don't have my camera.

jr#8, which gallery were you looking at? Most bird shots were with the 100-400L. For the shots in the "At The Lake" gallery, they were all shot with the 100-400L and most were very close...about 25-75 feet.

[jr#8]

Rum Its was the animals one.
And Heres an Image.

[yonioron]

it looks like some sort of wet fabric

[Mikelangelo]

tile? It looks like slate. Or a rock?

[Cleo199]

frost?

[Matoch]

kleenex or toilet paper?

Or a specialty paper of some sort?

James

[Athena]

I agree with tile - designer tile.

[nourdmrolnmt1]

as a newbie here i guess tile, or a cement stamp/stamped concrete

[jr#8]

None of the above. I'm trying to think of a good clue. So bear with me until I can get my sights on something clear enough for everyone.

[Athena]

Any little clue would be good. We're on the edge of our seats! ;)

[nourdmrolnmt1]

the beach?

maybe plastic wood?

and i have a good one to post too :(

[photobitz]

Icing on a cake?

[Mike Bell]

Lampshade?

[Hi guys! I'm back AND I stand by my opinion that a day is long enough to wait for someone to check back. I just worked a really busy 24 hour on-call so had no chance to check in as I expected to. You guys were right to just carry on. :) ]

[photobitz]

What do you do for work Mike?

More guesses...

Meringue
A pile of cocaine
icecream
tile glue
frozen yoghurt

[Mike Bell]

What do you do for work Mike?


Hospital doctor - anaesthetics and intensive care. One of the critical care beds I look after had three different patients in it during my shift - it was chaos!

[Rumjungle]

More guesses...

Meringue
A pile of cocaine
icecream
tile glue
frozen yoghurt

If it was a pile of cocaine, you really think jr#8 would be wasting his time posting on this forum?;)

[chemicalbro]

looks like a cuttle fish bone to me

[exile]

looks like a cuttle fish bone to me

Ooh, good guess! I like it!

[G3owner]

Icecream or whipped cream?

Bamce

[jr#8]

Frost was close but not close enough, There was a little clue this morning, but I can see that you need one now, I'll tell you the clues are harder then the images I think. I pretty sure every building I saw has one although there not the same. Try that clue for now and I'll check back in a bit.

[stupot]

styrofoam insulation...?

[jr#8]

you can walk thru it but not all the time.

[Rumjungle]

you can walk thru it but not all the time.

It took that last clue, but I'm happy to report that I've finally figured it out. It's a force field.;)

[owein]

styrofoam insulation...?

darn you took my guess! lol...

hrm i'll say a broken bar of soap?

[nourdmrolnmt1]

clouds? from a VERY high view, with a VERY weird lighting?

[G3owner]

Some kind of 'frosted' glass on a glass door or window or shower cabinet?

Bamce

[bbulldog]

entrance door

[jr#8]

'frosted' glass on a glass door G3
Your turn
When I get home I'll post a larger pic

[G3owner]

Wow. I did it :-)

I'm att work right now (it's 15 o'clock over here), but I'll be home in about two hours, and I will put something up during the evening. Stay tuned!

Bamce

[G3owner]

Here we go...

[exile]

A soap dish?

[G3owner]

A soap dish?

No.

[In2Photos]

The overflow hole in a sink?

[Mike Bell]

Salt cellar?

[G3owner]

Salt cellar?

That was fast! Your'e up, Mike!

[Mike Bell]

Woohoo! (I love this game! :) )

Not one of my best but all I've got ready right now:
