The super macro guessing game

[Photo Guy]

Well, at least part of my first thoughts were the same as yours, though I kinda see how you get the earwax thing though.:lol:


If that is ear wax, then someone needs to see the Dr. :lol:

[jr#8]

Tabacco

[Mikelangelo]

Tabacco

Perhaps "Whacky Tobaccy?"

[Rumjungle]

If that is ear wax, then someone needs to see the Dr. :lol:

You're probably right about that. That'd be gross!:)

Burnt toast?

[AirBrontosaurus]

potpourri?

[Photo Guy]

Tabacco

Told you this one was easy.....;) Good going Jr.

Tabacco at the tip of a cigarette.

Today is my shift at the hospital, but I will be home in a few hours. :) Have fun!

A candle

[DDA]

I don't know how it's called, but one of those games where you have to put a small ball in a hole by shifting the whole board.... (was that clear??)

[bfdarren]

A bubble level

[AirBrontosaurus]

yeah, it looks like a candle. But it could also be a lollipop!

[cfpackerfan]

A bubble level

You got it. :D Incidentally.... this level is on my tripod, and my camera was on said tripod for this shot...my kids thought I had finally gone over the deep end. :lol:

[bfdarren]

Not the best quality picture, but here it is. I need to get myself a good macro lens.

[BearLeeAlive]

A wax finger

[Nick C.]

I wouldn't even know where to begin guessing.

[RyanD]

Looks like something you would see through a microscope...

[bfdarren]

Looks like something you would see through a microscope...

The whole thing is about 1 x 1 x 3/4 of an inch. Parents of toddlers would have them (in the US).

[AirBrontosaurus]

Is it something like a care product (such as a brush or a diaper thing)?

[walla]

a pacifier?

[jr#8]

teething ring

[Nick C.]

One of those electrical outlet safety covers/plugs?

[chansh]

OH Yes, Why can't I see it before.
You must be correct, Nick.

[exile]

Loch Ness Monster....

[Michael]

One of those electrical outlet safety covers/plugs?

Thats what it looks like.

[bfdarren]

One of those electrical outlet safety covers/plugs?

That's it.

[Nick C.]

I won't get a chance to grab a picture for quite a few hours so if someone has one ready in the meantime, or can get one ready, go ahead and post.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Alright. Try your hands at this one:

[Action_Man]

That is some kind of breakfast cereal ;) ...

[webcrawlur]

a cookie...

[AirBrontosaurus]

not cereal and not a cookie... but it is edible

[Hank2122]

candy?

[jr#8]

looks like rock candy to me or salt

[cfpackerfan]

it looks like there are salt or sugar crystals on it, but the brown lump in the middle has me stumped.

[AirBrontosaurus]

it looks like there are salt or sugar crystals on it, but the brown lump in the middle has me stumped.

...and therein lies the challenge ;).

What candy does this represent?

I'll post a zoomed-out version later. In the meantime, keep guessing!

I'll give you a hint: The candy is very cheep.

[jr#8]

a sour gummy worm

[Sittingshooter]

bubble gum

[cfpackerfan]

Peeps. The brown goo is its eye.

Good hint.

[cfpackerfan]

Oh...and HOW do you still have a 'Peeps' laying around this long after Easter??

[AirBrontosaurus]

Peeps. The brown goo is its eye.

Good hint.
Exactly!

http://img431.imageshack.us/img431/3421/peepfull3mo.jpg

Glad you liked the hint.

Oh...and HOW do you still have a 'Peeps' laying around this long after Easter??
Everyone knows that Peeps are like fine wines; they get better with age!

cfpackerfan, you're up.

Cork

[Rumjungle]

I was just going to say that it's a section of an arm or leg but after reading Jim's guess, I think he's right.:)

[cfpackerfan]

Yeah...but can you tell what kind of wine?? :lol:

You got it Jim...you're up.

[BearLeeAlive]

Sorry about the delay, I just checked my email.

Here's an easy one as I am leaving town in 5-6 hrs.

[Matoch]

Clearly you have crushed a beer bottle into tiny peaces and placed it on the beach to take a picture. How many people are going to get hurt because of what you have done.

Ummm I have no idea what it is.

It looks waxy in texture...

[chansh]

Some bits is smooth but is not waxy.

[Greg P.]

[AirBrontosaurus]

a geode or amethyst?

[Greg P.]

[Sittingshooter]

A cracked piece of glass

[chansh]

a geode or amethyst?

Very Close!!

The white balance was a bit off in the first pic.
here is a bigger view abd the WB corrected.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Quartz then?

[chansh]

You are correct!!!
Your turn.

[AirBrontosaurus]

OK.

This one is probably too easy, but I'll post it anyways:

[DigitalMDX]

a plastic net bag

[Mike6158]

You are correct!!!
Your turn.

Technically that's called a geode... :) didn't someone guess geode?

[AirBrontosaurus]

Technically that's called a geode... :) didn't someone guess geode?

I did, but I also guessed quartz, so it all worked out ;).

[chansh]

It plastic, but more rigid but still flexes.

[Sittingshooter]

strings on a tennis racquet..

[chansh]

strings on a tennis racquet..

No, not thing to do with sports or games.
I would say more of a toy.

[DigitalMDX]

Plastic Slinky

[chansh]

I think I give out clues to quickley.

DigitalMDX, you are right.

[Berke]

I think I give out clues to quickley.

DigitalMDX, you are right.

Close enough for me! :D
Go for it...

[webcrawlur]

Wow, that was quick. I'll be right back with something.

[Michael]

Some kind of reptile?

[webcrawlur]

No, not a reptile.

[jr#8]

an animals nose or the pad on there foot

[webcrawlur]

Yes, I do believe we have a winner...:D

[jr#8]

Give me alittle time. Stepping out for a bite be back soon

[jr#8]

OK try this one! sorry for the clarity.

[sdmaker]

vacuum tube?

[AirBrontosaurus]

aquarium heater?

[jr#8]

Think smaller. The image is about a 50% crop. image length is about 1/2"

[BearLeeAlive]

LED

[Michael]

LED might be right. It looks like some type of light. Maybe a christmas light??

[jr#8]

It looks like some type of light.
Is right.
Bulb from a mini mag flashlight

Would you guys call me insane or bored or just plain crazy if I told you that I read all 146 pages of this thread in the last 2 days...:p

[BearLeeAlive]

Mentally disturbed might be the right term.;)

But look at it this way, it took me a year to do what you accomplished in just 2 days, well done.:lol:

[ElectricHarmony]

But look at it this way, it took me a year to do what you accomplished in just 2 days, well done.:lol:

Thanks :p I made MANY MANY correct guesses with the photos that happened to still work :) It was truly a blast :D Oh and there were some REALLY funny moments. Yea...I was touched in so many ways by this post :lol:

[Action_Man]

DDA was closest but not nearly close enough ;) ...

[Action_Man]

Looks like everyones given up - so i`ll tell the answer .

Grey Mold (Botrytis Cinerea) growing on my over-ripe strawberrys ...

[Rumjungle]

Thank you for that, Gordon.


Note to self: never ever ever eat strawberries again:p

[Action_Man]

Aw you Americans are so soft, you just slice that bit off ;) ...

[BearLeeAlive]

Great shot Gordon, this is the type of thing we need more of. You should have thrown out a few hints. Sometimes I get off on one tangent and it takes a hint to see in another direction.

[form]

I have an old one here, from when I first got my macro lens. Shouldn't be too hard...

[jr#8]

looks like some type of bird feathers

[form]

I need to find something harder. I'll have to make a new one sometime.

[webcrawlur]

is anybody out there...

[AirBrontosaurus]

SOMEONE SAVE THE SMGG!!!

[Mike6158]

Summer is here... :)

[ElectricHarmony]

Summer is here... :)

I wanna start playing this!:D

[Mike Bell]

SOMEONE SAVE THE SMGG!!!
The cavalry has arrived! Mike is back from his holidays! :D


I wanna start playing this!:grin:
Take some macro shots then, ElectricHarmony! You don't even need macro lenses - but they are wondrous things to possess! :) Get a few extension tubes on whatever lens you got with the 350D and start shooting! Welcome to this thread anyway. BTW, I agree with Bearly - you are seriously mentally disturbed. You will fit in perfectly here!:lol:

Here's the pic:

Clue: I had some of these for breakfast.

[DaleP]

Something fried? Hashbrown?

[Mike Bell]

Not fried.

You're up, DDA!

[DDA]

Hey! First time I win :lol:

I don't have any good macro lens (or extension tube), so I'll do with what I have. Sorry for the poor quality and the easy guess ;-)

87326

[Matoch]

Is it your couch?

I actually have no idea what this might be. Maybe a bag or something.

James

[Michael]

Some blue material?? I have absolutly no idea what it is. Clue please!

[DDA]

It's not my couch, but in the right direction for the kind of material... It is located on my balcony.... ;-)

[98photo]

Patio furniture

[webcrawlur]

a belt or strap...

[DDA]

It's neither furniture or a belt. It is something that is fixed on the building... And related to the sun (not sure I can give any more hints ;-) )

[AirBrontosaurus]

awning (patio roof)?

[cpark]

blue tarp?

[jr#8]

Sorry I just lost track of things. I walked over 20 miles for relay for life. What a night, started at 6:00pm and finished at 7:30 am.

[Matoch]

patio umbrella?

James

[DDA]

awning (patio roof)?

AirBrontosaurus, you're up!

[AirBrontosaurus]

alright, i'll have something in a few

[AirBrontosaurus]

Alright, here we go. Sorry for the really small DOF.

http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/7153/smgg074bi.jpg

[Thompsunshine]

Good grief!!!!!! All I see is an esophagus!

[DDA]

Exit hole of a screw in some kind of rod...

[AirBrontosaurus]

Not an esophagus and not a screwhole. Think smaller...

[AirBrontosaurus]

Wow, no posts in 24 hours. Is this a subtle way of telling me that you need a bigger picture? ;)

[Mathiau]

wax or plastic? look plastic...

[BearLeeAlive]

Insulation off Co-ax cable.

[AirBrontosaurus]

It is plastic, but you guys are still thinking too large.

Hint: Larger picture
http://img302.imageshack.us/img302/7136/smgg089gd.jpg

Keep thinking smaller, smaller.

[Thompsunshine]

A chair leg guard? Ok. It isn't smaller but it is lower!~lol

[Thompsunshine]

Ear plug or ear piece?

[AirBrontosaurus]

Nope and nope. Still too large. If this will help, the original image was taken at about 3:1 (I think. Really rough calculation). The object in the picture is about 2mm in diameter.

The earplug was sort of close, but something other than sound comes out of this.

I'll put up another clue tomorrow if no one guesses it.
