The super macro guessing game

[photobitz]

I don't know but staring at it is hurting my eyes! Definitely time to go home....

[Michael]

Its part of the hand gip of a Canon DSLR?

[Guineh]

Hard case for something?

A case of sorts. Is used to carry and interact with whats inside of it :)

[Guineh]

Part of a new Canon???

I already have 1 Silver XT, Do I need another one? ;)

Hmm. I see a growing trend: People carrying around 2 silver XT bodies with L lenses photojournalist style (i.e. wide-normal zoom + tele-zoom)... If I were to get a new camera, it would probably be at least a 20D, but the XT suits me well, at this time.

[jr#8]

laptop

[Guineh]

Not a laptop

[Rumjungle]

Remote control?

[jr#8]

flash

[Guineh]

Not a remote, not a "flash"

[Guineh]

Larger crop...

[AirBrontosaurus]

Bellows?

[Guineh]

Bellows?

Excellent guess, but unfortunately wrong.

First unsolicited hint: It is photography related.

[Guineh]

Second unsolicited hint: I'll be taking a week long vacation in a few months.

[Thompsunshine]

Don't suppose it's a Pelican case?

[Guineh]

It's a rather small item. :)

[Rumjungle]

Filter case?

[Guineh]

Hmm.. About the size and shape of a walkman.

[Rumjungle]

portable hd?

[Guineh]

portable hd?

Yep... you're up!

[Rumjungle]

Hmm, this is all I've got to go with on short notice:

[jr#8]

some type of plants with a snail

[Rumjungle]

not quite

[cjm]

looks like rust on a school bus or yellow vehical?

[AirBrontosaurus]

Bark from a tree?

[Rumjungle]

You got it, Bront! It's the bark from a guava tree:

http://i.pbase.com/o4/60/643160/1/64969276.UWkARsdV.funkyguavatree2wm.jpg

BTW, this tree trunk's got some insane colors and textures.

[Nick C.]

BTW, this tree trunk's got some insane colors and textures.
It certainly does! That's the most colourful bark I've ever seen!

[Mathiau]

That is your tree on drugs!

[jr#8]

Syscamore here on the east coast looks something like that but doesnt have that sheen

[JSolie]

I was thinking boa constrictor, but then there was that curled part...

[AirBrontosaurus]

Sorry guys, I was moving into my college dorm the last few days. I'll post something soon

[AirBrontosaurus]

OK, I got nothing. I broke my desktop today, so I can't use PS or anything. someone else can go.

[misspix]

Airbront: Sorry to hear that :( Hope you can get it fixed or replaced soon!

[AirBrontosaurus]

I know! The thing of it is, it was on one of those facny schmantzy surge protectors, and now it won't boot! I think I just fried my gfx card, which sucks because I'm also a big gamer. Hopefully I can get some compensation because I was on the surge-protector, but those things take forever. Ugh...

[misspix]

*sending positive thoughts*

[AirBrontosaurus]

Aw... thanks. you're always so sweet ;)

[thomascanty]

Does the power supply fan turn on? I had a power supply die in a computer once. It's easy to replace and not very expensive.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Actually, I just figured out it's my monitor that got fried. Hopefully just the DVI got fried and the VGA still works, but it sucks majorly. the thing is only a few weeks old and now it can't get a DVI signal. Hopefully it works in the morning wehen I get access to a VGA cable. In the meantime... pray ;)

[Citizensmith]

the thing is only a few weeks old

So could you take it back to the store/RMA it and say, "umm hey, it doesn't work, send me a new one you damn commies"

Or something like that.

You could probably ommit the damn commies part.

[misspix]

Citizen: I like the way you think ;)

[Rumjungle]

LMAO!:lol:

Let me get this straight...

You'e a gamer and part of your computer is older than a few weeks?

LOL :)

[AirBrontosaurus]

I bought it at Fry's, but the closest one is an hour and a half from my dorm (and I don't have a car)! What's worse, the 30 day return policy ends tomorrow. I think I can get it back to my parents to exchange, but it'll be close.

Anyways, does anyone else have a SMGG to submit? I'm getting withdrawl symptoms!

[Mike Bell]

Anyways, does anyone else have a SMGG to submit? I'm getting withdrawl symptoms!

Just got back from holidays and what do I find? Only a vacant slot in the SMGG! Heaven! :D

Try this one:

[jr#8]

some type of electrical pickup

[Mike Bell]

some type of electrical pickup

Very good - electrical signals are involved but you need to be more precise with the ID.

[jr#8]

a block for seting off a type of explosive

[Mike Bell]

a block for seting off a type of explosive

I hope not! Too much heat and noise for me!

But light is involved......

[photobitz]

Good to see you back Mike. Must have been some holiday to keep you away from the SMGG! LOL

errmmm.... contacts from some sort of light globe?

[Mike Bell]

It was a photographic holiday - with Lakeland Photographic Holidays www.lakelandphotohols (http://www.lakelandphotohols) Excellent! :)

They are contacts but on what? Here is a wider shot:

http://static.flickr.com/71/181663971_4d307fe40b_o.jpg

[Guineh]

Looks like some sort of lens mount.

I'd guess an extension tube for Canon EOS, but I can't remember exactly how the pins looked.

[Mike Bell]

Close enough for me - it's the contacts inside one of my Jessops extension tubes. I thought it would go quickly as this is a macro guessing game!

You're up, MRaiford!

[thomascanty]

I think you're right. My Kenko tubes just arrived, and that's the correct pattern. Mine don't have those screws though, so it isn't a Kenko tube.

Edit: A little slow on the keyboard here...

[Guineh]

I'll have something this evening.

[JSolie]

Close enough for me - it's the contacts inside one of my Jessops extension tubes. I thought it would go quickly as this is a macro guessing game!

LOL! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Guineh]

Okay, here it is...

[Skrim17]

since Terri isn't here yet I'll venture a metallic circular thingy??

[Thompsunshine]

And I'm guessing....ANOTHER HOLE! LOL

[AirBrontosaurus]

Wrench?

[Citizensmith]

Some kind of grinding or sharpening stone?

[photobitz]

A donut from the cretacious period?

[DDA]

A donut from the cretacious period?

I'm with Dan :lol:

[Guineh]

I can't control myself with all the silvery things in my home. :)

Lets see... no, no... no... and no.. er I do like the cretacious donut guess.

[Guineh]

Hints needed? (5hrs and no guess...)

It might be remotely possible for me to post a larger crop when I get home.

[misspix]

since Terri isn't here yet I'll venture a metallic circular thingy??

Hey! No fair! No I hafta think of something else...I see that Sunshine nabbed hole, too! That's what I get for not paying attention:D
Looks like a metallic, circular, FORMED hole!

[Citizensmith]

I'm going to go in the opposite direction to hard metallic. It's some dense foam padding in the inside of a case.

[Guineh]

No one has guessed the correct answer, time for the so large its obvious crop, btw this is a dead givaway. I want you to be specific!

[Skrim17]

well shoot it is so obvious now!!! ;)

[Guineh]

I have dropped strong hints in posts before this one. If I take any bigger of a crop, it will give it away. If I told you what my hints were....

[Citizensmith]

Something to do with a remote control? The black thing on the right is part of a button

[short5]

Part of a bedliner?

[Thompsunshine]

No one has guessed the correct answer, time for the so large its obvious crop, btw this is a dead givaway. I want you to be specific!

Dear Mr./Ms. MRaiford:

It tis only obvious if you ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS! ! ! LMAO :p

[thomascanty]

It tis only obvious if you ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS! ! ! LMAO :p

I don't know what it is, but to me it's obviously a black thingy on a grey speckled background... :lol:

[misspix]

I don't know what it is, but to me it's obviously a black thingy on a grey speckled background... :lol:

Lonnie: two great minds...LMBO:lol:

Hey Sunshine! Long time no see :D

[AirBrontosaurus]

Remote control shutter release?

[EfStop]

Moulded foam for a camera attachment of some sort?

[MAH]

TV or Hifi remote

[DDA]

According to the hints, I would say that citizen nailed it...

[jr#8]

How bout a remote flash

[Guineh]

Something to do with a remote control? The black thing on the right is part of a button

This is correct.

TV or Hifi remote

This is more accurate..

Hmmm... I did ask for specific. Citizen, since this has proven more difficult than I would have ever expected... you're up :)

BTW, Ill update this post with a reveal, later.

[Citizensmith]

Sorry for the delay in getting the next one up. POTN did seem to be off for some of that time though, at least for me.

Nice easy one, shouldn't take anyone very long.

[jr#8]

corragated hose

[Skrim17]

sliced carrot

[Citizensmith]

Actually it does look a bit like sliced carrot doesn't it. It isn't, but it does look like it.

And nopers, not hose either.

[misspix]

It's a bendy, tubey thingy. :D And I bet its gotta hole on each end!

[BearLeeAlive]

:D And I bet its gotta hole on each end!
Girl, I'm beginning to wonder if you don't have holes in your head or sumpin', as you seem to see everything with a hole in it.:lol::lol::lol:

..........oh ya, I guess lots of the posts do have holes.:oops:

I'm going to have to go more technical and guess that it is a corrugated orange ripple chip.....ya think;)

[thomascanty]

Looks like a Slip 'n Slide from the 70's. But (again) that wouldn't be a macro... :lol:

[Matoch]

It kinda looks like a ruffled chip.

James

[misspix]

Hiya Bearlee :D There are a lot of things in this thread that have holes, and my head is only on of 'em ;)

[photobitz]

sole of a shoe/boot

[jr#8]

pen grip

[Citizensmith]

It does have a hole in it, but not through it. And it is orange. These are more often blue though. Hows that for clues. :)

[misspix]

Part of an extension cord!

[Citizensmith]

Nope, not an extension cord. As has been an (unintentional) theme with my shots, this item is all plastic.

[misspix]

How bout a wire nut?

[webcrawlur]

;) How bout a wire nut?

Good guess Terri, I think you're right.

[misspix]

Hey Web! Should I be consorting with a Bronco's fan? hmmmm....;)

[Thompsunshine]

It kind of looks like the sides of a swimmin pool and the fact that is normally blue would add to that guess. However, if this is a true macro, which it probably is....I would once again haveta say that I am C L U E L E S S ! ! ! But...to say that it is a plastic, orange, corrugated item would be on the right track? :-D

...don't forget it also has a HOLE:lol: although not through it.

[Thompsunshine]

...don't forget it also has a HOLE:lol: although not through it.

LMAO....yeah, you are right. But I hesitated to mention the "hole" thing again. I do have a tendancy to harp, and I didn't want to sound like I was whining again. LOLOL

[misspix]

Sunshine: I guess I have harped on "holes", too. Check Bearlee's remark a few posts back :rolleyes:

[Citizensmith]

not a nut but it does share something in common with them. And the image is a few millimeters across.

[Mathiau]

the vest your wearing in your pic :)

[webcrawlur]

Hey Web! Should I be consorting with a Bronco's fan? hmmmm....;)

No problem, we're not in the same division anymore. Heck, it should have been us in the SB, not the stealers. Darn those stealers...:confused: :( :cry:

[Citizensmith]

Nope not part of my safety vest, although that would have been a good idea. Having the answer as your avatar would be good and sneaky. :)

A last clue or too before I go to bed.

Its best described as a kitchen item. The one in the photo though was on my desk at work.

[misspix]

No problem, we're not in the same division anymore. Heck, it should have been us in the SB, not the stealers. Darn those stealers...:confused: :( :cry:

Oh don't even get me started on the Steeler Cheeter soapbox:evil: Hubby doesn't want to hear it anymore:lol: :lol: :lol:

[webcrawlur]

Oh don't even get me started on the Steeler Cheeter soapbox:evil: Hubby doesn't want to hear it anymore:lol: :lol: :lol:


Ironically I am a Bronco's fan, as you know already, my wife is a stealers fan from way back and we are both Seahawks fans. My 16yr old daughter was born in Seattle. We lived there for almost ten years.;) and now you know, the rest of the story, good day. lol

:lol: :lol: :lol: My whole family are Seahawk fans. My oldest son "rebelled" for a while and cheered on Dallas:evil: My youngest daughter currently believes herself to be a Steeler fan:rolleyes: She's only fourteen and as soon as she sees the error of her ways will be welcomed back into the fold:lol:
BTW, my hubby left the house on Superbowl Sunday. Said he would clean up the bloodbath and conceal any evidence:lol:

[webcrawlur]

My best friend still lives in Bellevue. He got to go see the SB live, without me, :cry: .

Bummer! I would love to go to a SB. I've been to two Seahawk games, love it live!

[photobitz]

plastic screw

[Citizensmith]

yup its plastic, and yes it has a screw thread, but what is the item used for?

This one had something written inside it.

[DozerLYP]

this is the ridges of plastic lid for a jar of any kind.

[Citizensmith]

this is the ridges of plastic lid for a jar of any kind.

Close enough, it is the ridges on a plastic lid. For a pepsi bottle though, not a jar, but the lid part is right. It was orange as they had a competition running where I failed to win a gajillion dollars or something.

So, Over to Dozer. :)

[DozerLYP]

here you go...

Electric razor head?

[BearLeeAlive]

Look Terri, more damn holes.......lol

[thomascanty]

Look Terri, more damn holes.......lol

And a metal looking thingy. :lol:

[misspix]

Look Terri, more damn holes.......lol

*banging head against wall*


And a metal looking thingy. :lol:


So, I guess my first guess will be: (drumroll please:) ) *clears throat* A flat metal thingy with circular or holey thingys that somehow ad to the functionality of said thingy:p

[Mike Bell]

It's not another speaker grille is it? :evil: :lol:

[DozerLYP]

yeah but what is the thingy?
that is the question...

[Mike Bell]

Thingy you drain vegetables in?

[DozerLYP]

lets say
I keep it outside,
but some ppl keep it inside...

[thomascanty]

Barbecue grill? (I don't know why some people would keep that inside, though...)

[jr#8]

looks like a intake manifold for a foriegn car

[Mike Bell]

lets say
I keep it outside,
but some ppl keep it inside...

Gotta be part of a motor cycle - my brother keeps his favourite one in his bedroom - the other three are in his garage! :lol:

[DozerLYP]

close but no.
it's plastic and has metal on it..

[thomascanty]

A spatula that you use on the BBQ...

[DozerLYP]

no spatula.
you've all seen it on TV and in movies...

it's friday and i'll be starting drinking soon, so I probably won't come back till the morning.
have fun all...

[Matoch]

How about sunglasses?

James

[hospo1]

no spatula.
you've all seen it on TV and in movies...

That (and the indoor/outdoor clue) makes me think it's part of a gun, maybe the barrel or something. But I was unaware that a gun has plastic on it. Hmmmm...

[DozerLYP]

the part you're looking at is plastic and it won't fit in your pocket...

[Thompsunshine]

Part of a bicycle?

[Citizensmith]

The rims on the wheel of an RC car?

[Mike Bell]

We need another clue! :cry:

[DozerLYP]

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n56/dozerlyp/Untitled-2-1.jpg

[thomascanty]

A long butane lighter for firing up a BBQ?

[Citizensmith]

I think we are all clueless and in need of a little less macro of a macro please. :)

[KittyKat1982]

Could it be rims on the tire or the hubcap?

[Thompsunshine]

How 'bout a Hot Wheels wheel?

[DozerLYP]

wow my pic made it the the 500 page of this thread.
more holes for you guys.
here if i show you more of this you'll guess it right away...

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n56/dozerlyp/Untitled-3-1.jpg

[jr#8]

grille from a auto

[BearLeeAlive]

wow my pic made it the the 500 page of this thread.
With the way I set up my viewing I am only on page 150. Is it not a pain to have such short pages, the image would hardly ever be on the same page.

[Citizensmith]

Funny, I'm on page 188. :)

It really does look like the grill in front of a radiator.

[Mike Bell]

Lots of things have grilles on them - radiators, heaters, silencers, speakers, radios, computers, printers ...... <drone>........ <drone> ...........BUT which is it????

[chansh]

Funny, I'm on page 188. :)

It really does look like the grill in front of a radiator.

I'm on page 150.

I'm sure that is a grill in front of a radiator.

[Mathiau]

Microphone ?

[DozerLYP]

ok it is a the grill from the front of my truck. i even going to tell you it's a 2002 and this is the standard grill for this particuliar truck.
can someone tell me wich truck it is...

[BearLeeAlive]

can someone tell me wich truck it is...
Is it the one parked in front of your place?

[jr#8]

OK sice I said grill from auto, I guess I post next. But the grill looks like a jeep!

[DozerLYP]

no it was a Yukon Denali
