The super macro guessing game

[Guineh]

I'd have to go with part of a silk plant.

[BearLeeAlive]

I'd have to go with part of a silk plant.
That doesn't sound organic:rolleyes:

Hint List:
Is organic
The bud idea was on track
Is part of an edible object

[PhotoJourno]

Strawberry leaves?

[BearLeeAlive]

Strawberry leaves?
Nope, but 'tis a fruit.

[In2Photos]

The bottom of an apple? I don't know how else to say it.

[BearLeeAlive]

I just noticed the post count for this thread.
Had to be the one to bring up the 6000th!!!http://www.websmileys.com/sm/party/fest30.gif

As for the pic I would wager some sort of cactus.

I guess my claim to fame is that I was the 10th poster.

Hmmm........ That was 1/600th of the way to where we are today.:D

[BearLeeAlive]

The bottom of an apple? I don't know how else to say it.
Yeah baby, you got it!!!! Great job.

It was a we bit tough because it was a new budding apple.

[Guineh]

I'm still wondering why I totally ignored organic and said silk plant. Would have never guessed, when fruit was mentioned I couldn't think of anything. Maybe something exotic. certainly not an apple :)

[In2Photos]

I have a few apples in my desk drawer, but when fruit was a clue it just popped, so I checked me apples.:D

I should be able to post a new one in a couple hours when I get home.

Okay, here you go.

[Guineh]

First guess: Can Opener?

[Nick C.]

I guess my claim to fame is that I was the 10th poster.

Hmmm........ That was 1/600th of the way to where we are today.:D

You've been around since the 10th post? You must be as old as time itself! :D

[PhotoJourno]

Looks like the back of a lapel pin. There are wear marks, but no friction.

[misspix]

part of the bicycle chain holder-onner (dont know the tech term:confused: )

[kenny12]

allegator clips

[Thompsunshine]

part of the bicycle chain holder-onner (dont know the tech term )

Tech enough for me!

[PhotoJourno]

Is that an old watch?...

[BearLeeAlive]

You've been around since the 10th post? You must be as old as time itself! :D
Thus my user name;)

[PhotoJourno]

Ok, my last guess- It is a plastic knob of sorts, looks used, probably from a radio, tv, something like that. If it isn't, then this section of the forum isn't for me.

[misspix]

Tech enough for me!

:lol: glad someone else understands my kinda "tech"!

[Thompsunshine]

misspix...I hope you guess it one of these days soon. I think we need a girl's point of view. ;-)

[misspix]

thompsunshine-the funny thing is that it becomes very obvious once the object is revealed:confused: I think I need a handicap:lol:

[Thompsunshine]

I know! When you finally see what it is ...you just want to bang your head against the wall! Just like the blossom end of the apple. DUH! I have probably 25 apple trees! I will say this though, for the apple... at least it wasn't a hole! LMAO

[In2Photos]

Sorry for not getting back to the responses for so long.

Is that an old watch?...

Well it isn't old, only a couple of years.:( Guess I need a new one, huh.;)
Just under the dial on the left, including part of the ten.

[PhotoJourno]

Ok, I will post one in a couple of hours, when I get home from work.

[In2Photos]

Ok, I will post one in a couple of hours, when I get home from work.

Hey that sounds familiar.:D

[PhotoJourno]

Ok, here it is. Being my first time posting on this Macro stuff, I chose something relatively easy (Let's hope).
Cheers,

[MP0WER]

well, some type of pinion gear.... :)

[PhotoJourno]

My Macro is not as powerful as most other posts here, so maybe you can guess what it belongs to...

[Michael]

Not sure, but is it off something remote controled?

[PhotoJourno]

nope. It is hand operated. Sorry for the lack of SUPER macro, this is the best I could do.

[PhotoJourno]

If this image sucks so, I will pass the torch tomorrow then...

[Thompsunshine]

Meat grinder handle?

[AirBrontosaurus]

If this image sucks so, I will pass the torch tomorrow then...

don't do that... just give us hints!

as for the item... it looks like the gear crawls along the teeth that are oof, but for the life of me I can't think of what it is. Maybe a press of some sort?

[jr#8]

part of a clock

[PhotoJourno]

Great guesses. I would keep this item in the same room where I keep the Meat grinder.

[Michael]

A manual egg beater turner thingy?

[PhotoJourno]

good guess but no.

[Matoch]

It's an ice cream scoop.

James

[Guineh]

Looks like a sliding mechanism for something. Maybe a part of one of those deli slicers, but I'm not sure.

[jr#8]

canopener

[PhotoJourno]

matoch you got it !... Here is the pic, and congrats !!...
Next time I will have a Super Macro I tell ya.. Mua ha ha ha ha ha...err.

[Matoch]

The Downside to me winning is the fact that I can't post atm. My main computer is currently down at the moment. I open this up to anyone who feels like taking a shot.

James

[Thompsunshine]

An ice cream scoop! [banging head against the wall now!] ahh geezz

[Michael]

Ill have one in 10 minutes guys!

[Michael]

Here you go, not super macro, but have a go at it anyway.

90597

Clues come later.

[Jaymz]

Looks like the thumb screw from a Cresent (adjustable) wrench.

[Michael]

Good one mate, I thought it would be easy.

90610

Your turn Lax_lacks.

[Michael]

Where is everyone? 9 hrs and nothing! Whats going on??!!

[Mike6158]

Long weekend in the US (4th of July... Independance Day). Perhaps they celebrate getting rid of those "damn yanks" in the U.K.? :) Can't say about anywhere else

[Jaymz]

I will have a pic up soon today, been a little busy around here.

[Jaymz]

Shouldn't be too hard.

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c26/laxlacks/4f702172.jpg

[AirBrontosaurus]

Power drill?

[Jaymz]

Power drill?

Nope, but yea it does kinda look like that.

[AirBrontosaurus]

A lock then? (Like a Master combination lock)?

[Jaymz]

A lock then? (Like a Master combination lock)?

Nope.

[Guineh]

The ratcheting mechanism of a socket wrench?

[jr#8]

sewing machine

[Jaymz]

MRaiford and jr#8, nope.

[Jaymz]

Generally how long do I allow guesses before I state what the item is?

[Guineh]

Whatever it is, its well used.

Looking at it more, it looks like its possibly used as some sort of belt drive for something. I just can't figure out what that something is. :) But, guess thats part of the game.

As for a reveal... Try dropping a few hints first ;)

[Thompsunshine]

Head chuck from a machine lathe?

[webcrawlur]

Generally how long do I allow guesses before I state what the item is?


Just give us some hints if you'd like to. I usually let it go one day without hints then start giving some after that. Good job, we'll get it sooner or later, :lol: .

[Jaymz]

Ok first hint. Its part of a toy, not the stereotypical "male" toy like a power tool or something like that.

[Matoch]

Gear from a remote control car?

James

[AirBrontosaurus]

Ah... I see it now.

The furthest back part is the flywheel, and the front part is the pinion gear. R/C car parts. Good guess matoch!

PS. So, do you use a starter box or a bump starter?

[Jaymz]

Gear from a remote control car?

James

Correct, it is the flywheel and clutch bell from a Nitro Rc Motor. I am at work atm so I can not post another image showing the whole motor.

[Jaymz]

Ah... I see it now.

The furthest back part is the flywheel, and the front part is the pinion gear. R/C car parts. Good guess matoch!

PS. So, do you use a starter box or a bump starter?

This engine is currently a pull start, but converting it to a "drill starter". You use a drill with a allen bit to drive the starter.

[Matoch]

I'm not sure if this will be hard or easy.
91084

[Citizensmith]

Looks like part of a black wicker seat or basket?

[jr#8]

speaker grill or microphone cover

[Guineh]

High-end stereo cable?

[Matoch]

No No and No

The closest guess might be the third but it's not a cable.

All the guesses sort of look like the picture which is kind of funny.

James

[Guineh]

bungie cord

[jr#8]

carbon fiber from a sparkplug wire

[davepop]

Braided cable tidy

[Matoch]

Braided cable tidy

That's it! Your up.

James

[jr#8]

Braided cable tidy
how about a full size image? I dont think I ever saw one

[Citizensmith]

how about a full size image? I dont think I ever saw one


Probably not exactly the same thing but it will give you the right idea.

http://www.pccasegear.com/category106_1.htm

[Matoch]

Yup that's the same stuff. I buy it from Parts Express

TechFlex Tubing (http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage.cfm?&DID=7&WebPage_ID=161&CFID=2604067&CFTOKEN=90371639)

There you go. Is that too big or is it OK for everyone? I'll try and be on here a bit more often, to mark your answers.

[Mike Bell]

Chewed-up metal-covered end of a pencil?

[Nick C.]

The foil wrapped top of a champagne/wine bottle?

[BearLeeAlive]

The foil wrapped top of a champagne/wine bottle?

Now, that has got to be a big "For sure".

[Thompsunshine]

Ditto for the foil wrapped cork.

[chansh]

The foil wrapped top of a champagne/wine bottle?

It's must be right.

[davepop]

The foil wrapped top of a champagne/wine bottle?
And I thought that was quite hard. Well done.

http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/%7Edavepop/docs/gifs/photos/dvdforums/Comp_Full_size%20%28Small%29.jpg

Well I guess you are all seasoned pro's at this.
Just wait till next time.:evil:

[Nick C.]

I have nothing ready yet and it's after 10pm here at the moment. It's dark and I have no flash so it'll be a while before I'm able to take something.
If someone wants to jump in, go for it.

If not I'll grab a picture tomorrow morning after I watch France beat Portugal in the World Cup. :)

[Mike Bell]

If someone wants to jump in, go for it.


Here's a quickie then! :) :

http://static.flickr.com/44/157407717_15b0a5d72b_o.jpg

Should be easy (for you lot)! :)

[Guineh]

AC Adaptor connector.

[raw_bit]

looks like this thinge where u put in coins..

[BearLeeAlive]

Valve stem

[Mike Bell]

AC Adaptor connector.

Both WAY off!

CLUE: The success of some of your photographs rests on this.

[Mike Bell]

Valve stem

Even Bearly is way off - and he spends about as much of his life here as I do!

[Mike Bell]

Hmmm ....... everyone must be watching the footie. Think I'll go and do the same.

Meanwhile - here is a larger view:

http://static.flickr.com/57/157407718_3a3c56d263_o.jpg

So easy! :)

[BearLeeAlive]

Even Bearly is way off - and he spends about as much of his life here as I do!
Way off what? Are you saying I am losing it, that my time spent here is a bad thing. Why, I oughtta..........

As I have said many times, I can leave if I want to, no really I can, I don't have SMGG syndrome, I am under control.......Why are my hands shaking at the thought???:lol::lol:

OK, maybe a sparkplug?

[Guineh]

Tripod foot

[Mike6158]

Tripod foot

Man... I wanted to say that :)

[Thompsunshine]

Well I guess you are all seasoned pro's at this.
Just wait till next time.

LOL What a nice thing to say. Perhaps we are just far better acquainted with that subject than we should be. ;-)

[Nick C.]

LOL What a nice thing to say. Perhaps we are just far better acquainted with that subject than we should be. ;-)

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything for fear I may incriminate myself :)

[Mike Bell]

Tripod foot

Correct!

http://static.flickr.com/53/157407719_0d8ad9740a_o.jpg

You're up, MRaiford!

[Guineh]

Okay, here goes!

I'm hoping this one isn't as easy as my last!

Excuse the quality... :o

[Citizensmith]

Wow, no fricken' clue :) I mean not even a vague idea.

[BearLeeAlive]

A worn out liner to some type of clothing

[cfpackerfan]

I nice chunk of bleu cheese (or some other kind of semi-rotted cheese food)

[jr#8]

looks like someone dentures

[cfpackerfan]

:eek: Dentures?? HOLY CRAP that would be NASTY.

[Guineh]

no, not a food item, though one might be in your kitchen.

not teeth, for sure.

If no one gets it tomorrow morning, I'll show a bigger crop.

[Guineh]

A worn out liner to some type of clothing

The item in question is not of the textile family

[Thompsunshine]

Something marble. Perhaps a marble rolling pin or a marble cheese server or a marble pastry board.

[Thompsunshine]

And if that isn't it I guess a dirty kitchen sink. :-D

[AirBrontosaurus]

Sponge?

[Nick C.]

Cork?

[Guineh]

Wider crop ...

Its not a sink.. :)

[DDA]

???

I really have NO idea!

[BearLeeAlive]

Is that calcium built up on it?

[Guineh]

Is that calcium built up on it?

I believe so.

[photobitz]

Part of a kettle or electric jug?

[Guineh]

Part of a kettle or electric jug?

Nope. It uses no electricity.

[BearLeeAlive]

Shower or hand shower nozzle

[AirBrontosaurus]

Either that or the little thing tht goes in the drain so you don't get silverware down into your garbage disposal.

[Guineh]

Shower or hand shower nozzle

I think this is close enough.

BearLeeAlive .... you're up!

[BearLeeAlive]

Ran outside and took a quick shot.

91829

[Guineh]

Either a sprayer nozzle, or spigot

[misspix]

hmmm, if it's not a hole it's a metal thingy of some sort:rolleyes: you guys!
my guess: part of a sprinkler.

[BearLeeAlive]

Either a sprayer nozzle, or spigot

That is close enough. I guess I shouldn't have said I went outside.:lol:

I knew it would go fast, I need to take some time and do up a few good ones and not scramble after one quick.

91846

[Guineh]

Ok... here goes... Might be easy...

[Matoch]

Battery cover?

It looks like something you'd use a coin to open. Of course as usual my idea of the scale is probably 100% wrong.

James

[Guineh]

Not a battery cover.

[Thompsunshine]

Not to throw a monkey wrench into this ... but I think misspix got it. She nailed it when she said that it was part of a sprinkler, which, to me, is exactly what it is...not a sprayer nozzle or spiggot. :-(

[BearLeeAlive]

Not to throw a monkey wrench into this ... but I think misspix got it. She nailed it when she said that it was part of a sprinkler, which, to me, is exactly what it is...not a sprayer nozzle or spiggot. :-(
Yeah, but I was posting my response and acceptance of MRaiford's guess while misspix nailed it. It is no big deal, this game is all for fun anyway. I'm sure she will get lots more in days to come.

[Thompsunshine]

Okey dokie BearLeeAlive. I just didn't want misspix to be too teary eyed. :~( Besides, she tries sooo hard. :eyes

[Guineh]

Well, since theres been no guesses, and since misspix actually got the last one dead-on, lets let her put one up.

Maybe I'll repost mine later, or you can continue guessing if you like.

[misspix]

Hey guys, it's all good! I figured bearlee and I had posted at the same time. I'ts a great game and I really enjoy playing:lol: Right now I am taking greaaaaat satisfaction in the fact that I actually got one right:eek: ! Good boost for the ol' ego.
So, I am going to hazard a guess on mraifords (another metal thingy, go figure:rolleyes: )
My guess: a key

[Guineh]

Not a key, but a very common item. I have 2 of these at home and 1 at the office. :)

[BearLeeAlive]

:lol: Right now I am taking greaaaaat satisfaction in the fact that I actually got one right:eek: ! Good boost for the ol' ego.

LOL, good attitude. Let's have the most fun we can with what we have to deal with.:lol:

[misspix]

LOL, good attitude. Let's have the most fun we can with what we have to deal with.:lol:

:) The minute I get serious is the minute I pack up my toys and go home!
Okay, second guess; part of a clock or watch.

[Guineh]

It does use batteries, but it doesn't know how to tell time...

[Thompsunshine]

Something that holds water.

[Guineh]

I'd have to point out that water would significantly impair its function.

[Thompsunshine]

ROFL Ok. And, by the way, congratulations misspix....I totally forgot to tell you that.:oops:

[AirBrontosaurus]

Is it by chance an electric stapler?

[Guineh]

A bit more sophisticated than a stapler...

[misspix]

ROFL Ok. And, by the way, congratulations misspix....I totally forgot to tell you that.:oops:

Thanx! One outa 40 or so aint bad eh?:rolleyes:

Third guess: electric pencil sharpener

[Matoch]

A bit more sophisticated than a stapler...

How about a very sophisticated stapler...

Ok you got me I have no idea what this is.

James

[Guineh]

Hmmm.. Its actually rather high-tech, but common....

Where there's a computer, there's probably one.

[Matoch]

A mouse?

James

[Guineh]

A mouse?

James

You got it. Specifically, the laser mouse insignia on an MS laser mouse.

Your turn, Matoch!

[Matoch]

Let's try this one.

92210

[Michael]

Broom thingy?
Part of the broom brush

[misspix]

lint brush.
