The super macro guessing game

[BearLeeAlive]

I keep getting lots of ideas flowing through my wee mind, but the fact you wear it tosses them all to the wind:confused:

[Citizensmith]

but the fact you wear it tosses them all to the wind:confused:

Where did wear come from? :) Nope not something you wear.

[BearLeeAlive]

I should have got it quicker, I have to wear one at work occasionally so I have one sitting under my desk.

Did you lie to us?:lol:

This was in your description when you posted the image.

[Citizensmith]

Did you lie to us?:lol:

This was in your description when you posted the image.

Sorry for the confusion, I was talking about the previous macro. I work on hazmat sites and so carry and sometimes wear a respirator.

The yellow (but available in a range of colors) item is not something you wear. It is something I'll take with me to hazmat job sites but it is also something a photographer may take with them to a job site.

[Thompsunshine]

It is something I'll take with me to hazmat job sites but it is also something a photographer may take with them to a job site.

CAUTION TAPE! LOL

I will say that IIIII don't have one...whatever the heck it is! :-D

[BearLeeAlive]

Is it a latch on something?

A storage box or sumpin?

[BearLeeAlive]

It all makes sense to me now but you sure taxed me ol' brain for no good reason with the confusion.:confused::lol::lol:

[Citizensmith]

Is it a latch on something?

A storage box or sumpin?

That's probably close enough, but can we get the brand? :)

[BearLeeAlive]

Pelican

[Citizensmith]

Spot on! The latch on a Pelican case. In my case used for a GPS unit, but of course also commonly used by photographers with too much gear. :) Over to you.

[BearLeeAlive]

I do have a couple right beside me. With the image upside down, even knowing this, really changes the perspective from what we are used to seeing, good job.

Here is one I just snapped out visiting my wife doing some gardening.

97898

[Citizensmith]

looks like well oxidised copper. On a sprinkler head?

[BearLeeAlive]

It might look like oxidized copper but it's not, at least you're in the garden.

[form]

Really, really ruined shingles.

The upper end of the handle (guard, perhaps?) of one of her gardening tools, like a trowel, weeder or cultivator?

Head of a gardening hose? Oh wait, not copper..

[DozerLYP]

my bad

[Mathiau]

i just took this one around my office





You can only post if you guess the other persons picture.

[AirBrontosaurus]

BearLee, is yours part of a fountain?

[DozerLYP]

is it a part of a pump

[BearLeeAlive]

I'm back, nope to all of the above with AirB moving in the right direction.

[DozerLYP]

the eye of a statue you have in your yard

[BearLeeAlive]

the eye of a statue you have in your yard
This would be close enough for me. It's the eye of a frog from our rain guage.

Time to wow us Dozer

97943

[DozerLYP]

i took this pic around my office
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n56/dozerlyp/Untitled-4.jpg

[asylumxl]

a hinge?

[DozerLYP]

nope

[AirBrontosaurus]

Part of a paper cutter or shreadder?

[Thompsunshine]

Is that blood I see on there? Is it something that would cut you? Or perhaps...already did? :-D

edit: I'm off for a night of food, song and MEN! LOL bbl

[DozerLYP]

no and you could of find this in a kid's room too.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Is that blood I see on there? Is it something that would cut you? Or perhaps...already did? :-D

Erm... what kind of offices have you been in? ;)

[form]

I have absolutely no mental precedents for an object that looks like that. It's slick/shiny looking and furry like an insect/spider, but it's too uniform to be organic. It's clearly not a plush toy, and I've never seen any kind of lego that was so dirty. It doesn't look like part of any kind of computer or electronic equipment...I really have no idea.

[DozerLYP]

well it's not really made to play with

[frate]

Stapler?

[DozerLYP]

no it's in my office but has nothing to do with an office

[BearLeeAlive]

Beer kegs for ants?

[form]

Yes they look like little barrels alright. Little barrels with fabric.

[Thompsunshine]

A hinge to a toy box?

[DozerLYP]

kegs, good one, but no. and the fabric is actually dust

[Skrim17]

a carpet cleaner?

[WxGuesser]

looks like some sort of cams..

[DozerLYP]

no and what you see is about 3/4" by 1/2" in real life

[AirBrontosaurus]

Looks kinda like a Leatherman... but in a kid's room? I don't know...

[Thompsunshine]

I KNOW I KNOW! ! ! Dozer plays with Playdoh cuz it looks like a playdoh roller? Heck...I really have no clue! LOL

[photobitz]

Magnetic fastener?
I remember having something like that but I can't place it...

[DozerLYP]

you can see two of them on the pic but their is more of them...

[BearLeeAlive]

C'mon Dozer, your killin' me. :confused: It does kinda look familiar but I can't place it.:rolleyes: How 'bout a wee clue. Is is functional or decorative or maybe both:?:

[photobitz]

Looks like leather to me now but no clue as to why it would be in that shape...

[DozerLYP]

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n56/dozerlyp/Untitled-1.jpg
decorative

[jr#8]

looks like old shell casings from a machine gun

[DozerLYP]

getting somewhere

[Thompsunshine]

That's what I thought too..shell casings, but I couldn't think of what they were called. But if Dozer would put those in a kid's room, it makes me wonder if Dozer is the rebellious type. :-D

[DozerLYP]

you would put this in your kids room too...

[asylumxl]

its part of an action figure/model?

[DozerLYP]

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n56/dozerlyp/Untitled-2.jpg

[asylumxl]

Spawn! is it me or someone else, ill post a photo in a few mins if thats the idea?

[jr#8]

Dozer you make the call, Were you looking for action figure or the actual "shell casing"?

[DozerLYP]

sorry the batteries in my keyboard were dead. action figure was what i was looking for

[asylumxl]

this should be easy :D, i couldnt be bothered to be creative or tactical

[frate]

Battery.

P.S. If it's right, it'll take until tomorrow to post. Sorry.

[AirBrontosaurus]

If it isn't a battery, then maybe it's a bullet?

[asylumxl]

its a battery, what can i say, im uninspired

[Thompsunshine]

Then I guess that means we are done for the evening then. :-(

[frate]

I have a few minutes tonight! So, I'm working up an idea. Look in about an hour.

- Dean

[frate]

For the next macro, see the attachment.

Hint: I prefer maguro.

[Citizensmith]

The grip on a chopstick?

[frate]

Not the grip on a chopstick; but you followed the hint well. :)

[misspix]

???No fair being obscure when I am only just back and recovering from lack of SMGG and TPBM:lol: :lol:

[Citizensmith]

Hmm, I was fairly confident on chopstick. It looks like wood, but may be machined metal. It also looks slightly rounded. Its a, umm, yeah.

[Skrim17]

looks more like machined metal to me, note the lack of 'grain' in the indents.

[DozerLYP]

look like the handle of the pliers you use to crack crab legs with

[Thompsunshine]

My first guess would be that it is actually the inside of the form. If you flip it over that would be the mold used to prepare maguro?

Or...a rice mold?

[frate]

Definitely machined metal.
Not Pliers.
Using molds is cheating. http://www.sushimagic.com/

All on the right track.

It's the first, and the last tool I use in the preparation.

[MAH]

I would guess Knife sharpener is first? But it looks nothing like one.

[MikeMcL]

it is the blade of the knife, those scallops prevent food like tomatoes or meat from sticking to the blade. they relieve the vaccuum and let the food fall away.

-booyah?

[photobitz]

if not the blade then the knife grip?

[Thompsunshine]

Or...a rice mold?

Ok. I know you said that using the forms would be cheating, but...the little bowl you put the rice in. If it isn't a mold, what would you call it? hmm Probably still not the right answer though! LOL

[frate]

it is the blade of the knife, those scallops prevent food like tomatoes or meat from sticking to the blade. they relieve the vaccuum and let the food fall away.

-booyah?

It IS the knife blade. Booyah, indeed!

Post away!

[Thompsunshine]

I totally suck at this game! LOL

[DozerLYP]

so where is the next pic...

[BearLeeAlive]

MikeMcL seems to have jumped in and ducked out.

[Thompsunshine]

I think someone should post a pic of an ice cube...it is freaking H O T here and getting worse tomorrow. (And I don't have air conditioning!)

[DDA]

If you don't mind, I will post something, as MikeMcL seems to have abandonned the game and I let my turn to someone else the last time ;-) (If MikeMcL returns and wants to post something, I'll remove my pic...)

So here it is...

98648

[chansh]

I looked and looked. Just don't know where to start.

It's look soft.

[Thompsunshine]

Shredded cheese in snow?

[chansh]

I got it now.
Ear wax on a cotton wool bud. :)

[BearLeeAlive]

Maybe these old eyes are going, but it just looks like fuzz to me.;)

[MikeMcL]

If you don't mind, I will post something, as MikeMcL seems to have abandonned the game and I let my turn to someone else the last time :wink: (If MikeMcL returns and wants to post something, I'll remove my pic...)

So here it is...

I dont mind a bit. i know this thread moves fast, even though you guys only waited 4 hours to skip me, lol...

I'm just happy to participate, i dont even have any good tough macros to post, id have to go out shooting. Please enjoy DDA's post and to DDA: Thanks for picking up my slack!

[jr#8]

Mold ( a refrigerator experiment)

[frate]

Ah, yes. This is a Turft - n. A small, spotted animal in the rodent family. It is best known for its ability to swim through jello (which may or may not change its spots). Post mortem, it is often used as a zipper hang-tag in tribal rituals among the peoples of Truk.

...I think.

[MikeMcL]

a cut piece of poly rope, with its smooth white casing frayed, and of course the cotton innards exposed to the world...

its a stretch, but it's not the sharpest pic ever, either...
If not that then an end of a piece of tan yarn, maybe

[chansh]

a cut piece of poly rope

That's a good guess.

DDA where are you we need some feed back.

[Guineh]

I'll go with a part of a stuffed toy.

[MikeMcL]

we should call it the "super blurry macro guessing game" that will make it a bit harder.. hehe.

[DozerLYP]

a rabbit tail? i don't know

[MAH]

Ah, yes. This is a Turft - n. A small, spotted animal in the rodent family. It is best known for its ability to swim through jello (which may or may not change its spots). Post mortem, it is often used as a zipper hang-tag in tribal rituals among the peoples of Truk.

...I think.

And by 2285 had evolved into a tribble :)

[MikeMcL]

where is DDA? the suspense is killing meh!

[Guineh]

... ???

[AirBrontosaurus]

Um... coconut?

[Mike Bell]

It's the cut frayed end of a stuffed toy's tail dipped in cheese and ear wax - that just about sums up everyone else's guesses in one! :lol:

Hey DDA - you are supposed to lurk around when you have a pic up here. Where are you? At work? Sleeping? Did no-one explain to you that such frivolities are denied those who enter into SMGG world! :lol:

[Thompsunshine]

LOL Mike Bell!

[misspix]

I'm goin with Frate. It is a Turft. Although I though the Turft was cousin to the Tuft, often found in areas frequented by rabbits:confused:

[Guineh]

I'm goin with Frate. It is a Turft. Although I though the Turft was cousin to the Tuft, often found in areas frequented by rabbits:confused:

You have to be specific, though. Is it the speckled or spotted variety? :)

[DozerLYP]

I think it's some kind of barnicle found in salt water or mold found on that piece of sandwiche you have sitting in your refrigerator for the past 3 months...

[Citizensmith]

I think we're being tricked, its a shot of a massive storm 3 times the size of the earth, moving across the surface of Saturn.

Or a frayed knot

Or maybe a roadkill rabbit

[jr#8]

maybe and infected wound with all the puss ouzzing out

[misspix]

You have to be specific, though. Is it the speckled or spotted variety? :)

My educated eye deduces it is indeed the spotted variety:cool:

[misspix]

maybe and infected wound with all the puss ouzzing out

ewwwwwww:eek:

[Guineh]

What? Still no answer.

When do we cry foul?

[Guineh]

maybe and infected wound with all the puss ouzzing out

Oh, wait. sommebody already did. Ick.. that is foul :p

[jr#8]

Its over 18 hours with not even a clue, When do we post something else

[Thompsunshine]

19 hours and no sign of DDA or any clues. I say it is time to post something else also.

[misspix]

19 hours and no sign of DDA or any clues. I say it is time to post something else also.

*raises hand*I third!

[Thompsunshine]

I say it is time for misspix to dazzle us with one of her macros from her vacation last week! Whaddya say folks?

[AirBrontosaurus]

I say it is time for misspix to dazzle us with one of her macros from her vacation last week! Whaddya say folks?

Seconded!

[WxGuesser]

3rd.. i'm always lurking in this thread... this is tooo long!

[Thompsunshine]

Okey dokey missy pixey LOL Yerrrrrrrr UP!

[DozerLYP]

somebody help us...

[WxGuesser]

btw.. i looked at DDA's profile and from his previous posts.. it looks like he comes here once a week...

[misspix]

;) Gimmee a couple minutes, I have downloaded, but nothing else. BRB, promise!

[misspix]

Okee Dokee, not brilliant by any means:rolleyes:
Let the game resume *sounds charge*

[Thompsunshine]

Wool blanket?

[misspix]

Wool blanket?

Nope;)

[BearLeeAlive]

Yup, youz are all definitely suffering from the SMGG syndrome.:( Caution, it will run and ruin your life. Only after many hours of counciling and help from friends and family can you be cured of this evil affliction.:evil: There is hope though, Mike Bell seems to have his problem more under control.:razz: Myself, I still have a ways to go and do get antsy when nothing is happening...

So glad to see we are back under way........WooHoo

[BearLeeAlive]

Bellows

[misspix]

Bellows

Nope:)

[Mathiau]

claws if a furry animal ?

[Thompsunshine]

Blue pleated draperies that covered the opening of the cave! ;-)

[misspix]

claws if a furry animal ?

Nope;)
Okay, three guesses, time for a clue! *drumroll*
Not a wool blanket
Not bellows
Not a furry animal

This is a very common object on all continents, keep those guesses flowing!

[misspix]

Blue pleated draperies that covered the opening of the cave! ;-)

No, those were red:lol: :lol:

[Mathiau]

a needle?
is it a plant ?

[Thompsunshine]

No, those were red:lol: :lol:

Crushed velvet too?

Nope;)
Okay, three guesses, time for a clue! *drumroll*
Not a wool blanket

Well heck....now THAT narrows it down! LOL

[BearLeeAlive]

This is a very common object on all continents, keep those guesses flowing!

Someone surely should get it with this specific of a clue:lol::lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

All continents, even Antartica?

[misspix]

Crushed velvet too?

Of the finest kind:lol:

[WxGuesser]

looks like some sort of hair holder.. like a baret or something..

[Thompsunshine]

It kind of looks like molded foam but the pleats have me stumped.

[misspix]

Not a needle or a plant.
Not too sure about Antartica to be honest. I may have overstated "all continents".

Clue #2: Not a living thing, but life moves around it;)

[misspix]

looks like some sort of hair holder.. like a baret or something..

This item cannot contain a thing! And is much to big for a hair accessory:)

[Thompsunshine]

A rock?

[WxGuesser]

i got it.. a hand held fan.. you know the kind that collapse and are usually made of some kind of cheap paper...

[misspix]

A rock?

Nooooooooo, but can roll around/in it:)

[misspix]

i got it.. a hand held fan.. you know the kind that collapse and are usually made of some kind of cheap paper...

I am no good with scale (math pisses me off) but keep in mind that this is very cropped. This item will not fit in any hand:)

[Thompsunshine]

Life boat, life raft or just a plain ol raft?

[misspix]

Life boat, life raft or just a plain ol raft?

Not a boat or any other type of flotation device. However, this device will get wet frequently!

[Thompsunshine]

Good grief...your hints are absolute torture. I feel like I almost have it and then BAM...I'm wrong! LOL

[WxGuesser]

is it a huge awning?

[Thompsunshine]

Sand or dirt?

[misspix]

is it a huge awning?

Think lower...

[misspix]

Sand or dirt?

All around it;)

[WxGuesser]

welcome mat!

[misspix]

welcome mat!

Nope. Okay, recap:
Not any of these things:
Animal, Fabric, Plantlife, Hair accessory, Drapes (did I miss anything?)

I really thought Bearlee would get this one;) Let's see, a good clue without giving it away, hmmmmmm...

It is manmade and found on many worksites involving roadwork.

[Thompsunshine]

tar?
