The super macro guessing game

[CyberPet]

Darnit.... ok, better think in some other direction then. :D
Could it be the rim of a rubber glove?

[BearLeeAlive]

A window to a kiln

[Angel_LCD]

Nope and nope ;) it's something everybody here uses everyday ;) especially when you browse this forum :) The light inside only turns on by motion ;) Now I'm of to bed for 5-6 hours :p

[Curtis N]

Mouse.

[DanStephens]

BUT not just any mouse...an infra-red mouse ;)
That clue was too easy :P

[Sailfish]

BUT not just any mouse...an infra-red mouse ;)
That clue was too easy :P

Bugga, I was just reading through this thread and was about to make that guess. Even before I read the hint! Oh well. I'll just have to keep up next time.

[Angel_LCD]

Good Morning ;) Well that was to easy I think :p Curtis N yes it's a mouse ;) Your turn Curtis N :) Here is the whole picture :)

[Curtis N]

Admittedly your description gave it away.;)

Ok. Here's mine.
It's something that I'm sure many of us own, though certainly not all of us. It is not camera or computer related. I will post hints as necessary. Good luck!

[BearLeeAlive]

Markings on a ruler(scale)

[Curtis N]

Not a ruler or measuring device of any kind.

[RockOne]

Is it part of a pistol ?

[Rob612]

Yes that could be part of the slide grip.

[Curtis N]

Not a firearm of any kind.
First hint: You can buy these individually or in sets. Most people who own them have a full set.

[PRJ]

How about a fish slice/spatula?

[Curtis N]

Not a kitchen tool. Not food-related.

[Leorooster]

Hair trimmer?

[Curtis N]

Not a personal grooming device.

[Angel_LCD]

A speaker ?

[Curtis N]

No one even close so far.
Second hint: These things get dirty with normal use. I had to wash mine before I photographed it. Some people attempt to clean them with a special piece of wood that is sharpened on one end.

[Angel_LCD]

Hmmm a cutting board ?

[Curtis N]

Not a cutting board.
Third hint: They are designed for outdoor use.

[Angel_LCD]

Part of the blade on ice skates ?

[Curtis N]

Not ice skates, but you're on the right track with sporting equipment.

[ueb0258]

The grooves on the face of a driver.

[CyberPet]

Ski's?

[Curtis N]

The grooves on the face of a driver.Close enough!
A left-handed 3 iron, to be exact.
Nice job, ueb0258! You're up!

[ueb0258]

Someone else please jump in here. I have been working a lot and have had no time to prepare anything but I have been enjoying trying to guess them.

[etaf]

[Angel_LCD]

End of a 35mm film canister ;)

[etaf]

[Angel_LCD]

Well I'm at work so I took one of something here. Could be hard or very easy ;) Hopefully inbetween :)

[CyberPet]

Holy crap, it looks like a uhm..... thing. :D

Maybe something from a overall?

[Angel_LCD]

hehe nope ;)

[Bald Eagle]

Rubber?

[PRJ]

Is it a chinese Dragon?

[Angel_LCD]

No rubber :p or dragon :D

[PRJ]

Or part of a Gargoyle?

[PRJ]

Might help if you could tell us where you work?

[Angel_LCD]

Nope

[felix21685]

[PRJ]

Hi I'm PRJ'S wife. I think it may be a fish, I would love to know before I go to bed but am getting very tired.:confused:

[Angel_LCD]

[Angel_LCD]

hehe ;) no fish.

[Angel_LCD]

One more clue :p http://www.brosundet.no/index_eng.html

[Bald Eagle]

roofing tile?

[Angel_LCD]

I will say close enough. It's a bit to hard to guess I think if you have'nt seen one ;) Your turn Bald Eagle :D It's a small model of the hotel I work in ;)

[CyberPet]

I'm trying to figure out what you do at night, since you're working so late... I doubt you guard the viking ships :D

[Angel_LCD]

I'm trying to figure out what you do at night, since you're working so late... I doubt you guard the viking ships :D

hehe :lol: I work the nightshift in the reception on the hotel ;) Someone has to take care of everything when everybody else sleeps :) So I sit here most of the time and then I make breakfast for everybody :p

[DeltaWebb]

Just got off work and caught up on my "Super Macro Guessing Game" reading. Looks like a little waiting is in order for the next picture to guess!

[DeltaWebb]

Does Bald Eagle know it's his turn and is out getting pictures? I'm all excited because I have two pics to use, although they are probably easy, but oh well. I'm chompin' at the bit here!

[Bald Eagle]

sorry, i was out taking pics, one coming up soon.

[Bald Eagle]

Ok, here goes, this is something for all of us who have cameras.:)

[DanStephens]

A lens cap?

[Bald Eagle]

nope, but close, i think.

[hauff]

Is it the air hole in the end of a rocket blower?

[Bald Eagle]

Is it the air hole in the end of a rocket blower?

[hauff]

Thanks Bald Eagle. Here's the next one....Good Luck.

[DeltaWebb]

That SUCKS!!! :confused: :confused: :confused:

I went to go and get dinner together, baths for the boys and play time stuff...thought I wouldn't miss much or still have a shot at the next pic, too late. :(

The stink about it is...I INSTALL SATELLITE SYSTEMS!!! :mad: :eek: I knew what it was in a half second! It's actually (technically) the LNB. It's the portion of the dish that actually picks up the radio signal from the satellite.

:cry: I just missed my best shot at a turn!

Oh well...what's next!:lol:

[hauff]

Thats funny Delta Webb.. got back just in the nick of to late.

[DeltaWebb]

[DeltaWebb]

[DeltaWebb]

You guys are in trouble now! My wife is helping me!

[DanStephens]

[DeltaWebb]

so, not a cow...a rodent of some sort?

Anyone else guessing right now or just me and my wife?:D

[Angel_LCD]

[Spirit]

That's one hell of a big nostril for a rodent...

LOL @ DeltaWebb! Tell your wife to play her own game! (KIDDING!!) :D

[DeltaWebb]

That's one hell of a big nostril for a rodent...

LOL @ DeltaWebb! Tell your wife to play her own game! (KIDDING!!) :D

[DeltaWebb]

Hey BTW...it is a "SUPER MACRO guessing game". Maybe it's one hell of a macro?!? :p

[Angel_LCD]

[DeltaWebb]

Thanks for trying to help though Angel. Good night!

[ueb0258]

Again someone please step in here for me. I am at work (seems like I am always here lately) and dont have a way to post anything.

[DeltaWebb]

I'm about to go to sleep so I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to post. Unless no one objects...my pic is pretty easy I think, but if no one gets it in 15 min. I'm off to bed. Suggestions?

[DeltaWebb]

Well...off to bed. Maybe another time everyone.

[chemicalbro]

seeing as Delta seems to have forfieted his entry, I'll throw this one into the mix :)
i think this one is pretty easy.....
heres a hint anyways, this is full frame at 1:1 so you can get some idea of its actual size.....

http://hellmouth.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/blah.jpg

[felix21685]

is it a tool? do you press things together with it ? looks like a ammo reloading thing :) or something

[michapma]

Looks like part of the reel from a fishing rod and reel.

[chemicalbro]

Correct.it is the bale arm of a fishing reel..................
your turn mich......
http://hellmouth.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/reel.jpg

[michapma]

I was so sure after studying it I already started getting a picture taken. So I guess it was fairly easy, 'cause most of them I don't get. :D

This one's not true macro, taken with "macro function" of the EF-S 17-85mm:

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~chapman/images/temp/guess1.JPG

[CyberPet]

Pliers?

[michapma]

Nope, altogether different materials than metal.

[CyberPet]

Hmm... looks like something made of bone. Uhm.... a... uhm.... a button! :D

[CyberPet]

Or maybe it's rubber and it's a shoe?

[twisty]

Colar bone?

[michapma]

Not a bone. Also not a shoe, but the material is spot on.

[hauff]

an x-ray?

[michapma]

Not an xray. One of the materials is like what CP guessed.

[michapma]

I gotta disappear for a couple of hours, so a bit more of the image as a further hint, should be much easier now. :)

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~chapman/images/temp/guess2.JPG

[nitsch]

An eraser?

[BearLeeAlive]

soap suds

[chemicalbro]

is it a seashell?

[StuartD]

is it ice?

[fotogeek]

Is it a monkey?

[DanStephens]

An eraser? Or a rollerskate stopper?

[GoneFission]

Looks like nitsch got it.

Just for fun, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say not only is it an eraser, specifically it's a Staedtler Mars Plastic eraser - I burned through a couple of those a semester back in college.

[nitsch]

LOL! :D That's exactly what I had in mind too when I said eraser! I have a well worn Staedtler Mars Plastic sat on my desk right now, I hunted it out just last night when I was drawing some scale plans and made a bit of a boo-boo! :lol:

I put "Eraser" as my answer for the benefit of our non-UK members, of course the correct term for them here in Blighty is "Rubber". :)

[michapma]

Alright nitsch, your go. Don't use the term "rubber" if you visit the States. :)

Pentel actually, as you can see, but I'm guessing they're essentially the same thing. You get extra credit anyway. 8)

PS - not sure if I got this attachment thing right...

[nitsch]

Alright nitsch, your go. Don't use the term "rubber" if you visit the States. :)

LOL OK!! :o :lol:

Hang on a few minutes for me to come up with something good...

[nitsch]

Ok here goes! It's actually really hard to think of something that will be challenging without being impossible! :D

Hope it's not too easy!

http://www.nitsch.co.uk/photos/macroquiz.jpg

[Jemram]

Looks like a tooth brush

[nitsch]

Looks like a tooth brush

Damn you!!! ;) :D

So it was too easy then! Well done, your turn.

[michapma]

Sure does, you can even see the handle as part of the bokeh.


At first glimpse I thought of the ends of fiber-optic cables, like on the end of those lamps that look like clown hair. :D

I'm rubbish at this game! :o I'll stick to guessing! :)

[Jemram]

ok, here you go!

[michapma]

You're not rubbish nitsch, sometimes people just recognize stuff quick!

This looks like the wheel you turn with your thumb on a lock. I'm going to bed, so if I got it right someone else can make a shot (nitsch?)

[etaf]

wheel on a lighter
or
screw on a adjustable spanner

[GoneFission]

Crescent (adjustable) wrench

[michapma]

screw on a adjustable spanner

Ah yes, that's it! :-)

[etaf]

i'm off to bed very shortly -so unless someone guesses quickly I wont be able to confirm till the morning

[GoneFission]

Is this a macro game or an English language game?

eraser/rubber
wrench/spanner

what's next - trunk/boot?

:lol:

[etaf]

is that american english or UK english or microsoft english :) :) :)

[Angel_LCD]

Car lighter or what it's called :P

[etaf]

spot on
