The super macro guessing game

[DozerLYP]

[jr#8]

focus is right on but by the time I cropped it it got some pixelation

[AirBrontosaurus]

The mouth of an action figure (someone like Shrek or Kermit the Frog?)

[jr#8]

The mouth of an action figureyes but i'm looking for the figures name. heres alittle bigger

[Thompsunshine]

It is Mike Wyzowski from Monster's Inc.

[Citizensmith]

It is Mike Wyzowski from Monster's Inc.

I believe you have it spot on.

[Thompsunshine]

BOOOO YEAHHHHHH! ! ! !



I GOOOOT IT I GOOOOOOOT IT


Give me a few! ! ! Whooo hoooo! ! !

[jr#8]

Mike Wyzowski from Monster's Inc.
You guys and gals stink I thought this was going to last alot longer.

[BearLeeAlive]

Must be some kind of US thing, I have never seen that critter in my life, let alone know its name.

[Citizensmith]

Must be some kind of US thing, I have never seen that critter in my life, let alone know its name.

Got rent Monsters Inc, its a good movie and will introduce you to the character in question. :)

[jr#8]

Great movie. You must not have kids. Voices of Billy crystal and John Goodman.

[BearLeeAlive]

My youngest is 16. My wife said she has heard of the movie and she is the one who watches most of the movies around here, I only take in one a month or so. I usually get bored as they take so long to finish.

[Thompsunshine]

Okay folks. Here ya go. And I would like to say up front that YES IT DOES APPEAR TO HAVE HOLES IN IT SO NO SMARTY PANTS COMMENTS....YOUS! ! Besides, I am the one who normally complains about the hole thing. LOL

[BearLeeAlive]

Curler

[Thompsunshine]

Oh Bearly....that is just soooooo sexist! LMAO! ! ! And no, it isn't a curler.

[misspix]

Sunshine: i would like to say: it is a plastic, rectangley thingy :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

Oh Bearly....that is just soooooo sexist! LMAO! ! ! And no, it isn't a curler.
Hey now, I'll have you know I posted a macro of a hot curler my daughter was using on here. How's that for non-sexist.:cool:

[Thompsunshine]

Uh....Bearly? I was just teasing. You know we all love you. :-D

[Thompsunshine]

Sunshine: i would like to say: it is a plastic, rectangley thingy :lol:


Welllllll.....sorta.

Plastic, yes. rectangley no. A thingy....yes.

[Thompsunshine]

Bearly~I guess I just figured that since I whined so much about how you folks post so many "guy" things on here that you would naturally have suspected that I, being a girrrrrlll, would have posted a girrrrrllly thing. See? Ain't my mind twisted?

[Citizensmith]

The intake on an air purifier?

A plastic girrrrrlly thing?

No, nope one of those plastic girly things, get your mind out the gutter.

[Thompsunshine]

The intake on an air purifier?

A plastic girrrrrlly thing?

No, nope one of those plastic girly things, get your mind out the gutter.

LMAO! Not an intake on an air purifier. This item is non-sexed. Or is it unisex? I suppose it depends on which way you roll.

[misspix]

Is it part of a fan?

[Mathiau]

a heater or fan or air filter venting.

[hospo1]

The front of a hair dryer?

[DDA]

Which way you roll.. Hmmmmm... But it sure does have a big hole :lol:

[jr#8]

strainer for the intake of a fish tank filter

[Thompsunshine]

No to all. Think smaller. I would have to say that the entire item is probably 2 inches long.

[KittyKat1982]

Can you show us another picture to help out?

[Thompsunshine]

Let me see what I can come up with.

[Thompsunshine]

This will surely give it away. But ask and ye shall receive.:shock:

103822

[thomascanty]

It's a honey ladle. Ladle is probably the wrong word, though...

[Thompsunshine]

I know what you mean. :-D No, sorry, it isn't a honey dipper. Not used for food.

[Thompsunshine]

Is it time for some serious hints?

Edit: I never had one go this far so I don't really know! ! ! (Doin' the happy dance)

[KittyKat1982]

Thanks for the picture. I so know what it is, but I don't. GRRRRRRR!

[Thompsunshine]

Awww, Miss Kitty. *patting your head*

Ya know though, of all the people on here, I would imagine that you would have been one of the few to know what it is.

[thomascanty]

Thanks for the picture. I so know what it is, but I don't. GRRRRRRR!

I sure thought I had it with honey dipper! That's still all I can see... Oh, well. It's good I wasn't right anyway. I have the perfect picture to use, but I'm leaving for Northern California in 5 minutes and won't be on much for the next three days.

[KittyKat1982]

I serrious know, but I can not put my finger on it.

[KittyKat1982]

I sure thought I had it with honey dipper! That's still all I can see... Oh, well. It's good I wasn't right anyway. I have the perfect picture to use, but I'm leaving for Northern California in 5 minutes and won't be on much for the next three days.
Have a good trip.

[Thompsunshine]

Rollit over in your mind a while.

[Mathiau]

a mind roller thingy ma bobber ?

[Thompsunshine]

LOL! Good Guess....but no.

[hospo1]

Glade Plug-In?

[Thompsunshine]

Let's put a new spin on it.

It is something you wear.

[KittyKat1982]

Let's put a new spin on it.

It is something you wear.

OK, now I am confussed ???

[KittyKat1982]

Glade Plug-In?
That is what I was thinking, but it looked like it was taken against a floor or something like that.

[Thompsunshine]

Miss Kitty, if you don't guess this you are going to bang your head on the wall when it is finally revealed!

[hospo1]

OK, now I am confussed ???

Me too...I can't get hair roller out of my head! :cry:

[Thompsunshine]

I would put this in my food saver but it is too dirty, and it isn't used for food. I think that this hint might be a real shoein.

[AirBrontosaurus]

shoe deodorizer?

[Thompsunshine]

Nadda AirBront. You too, are another one that I would have suspected would have guessed this one pretty easily.

[cfpackerfan]

shoe.. saver... roll... spin.
Hmmmmm.

The hints are intriguing. ;)

[DDA]

The thingy you put in the shoes to give them a good form??

[Thompsunshine]

The best hint I can possibly think of is actually a suggestion. If you have teenagers around, ask them if they know what it is. Now I am looking for an actual name of this item.

[KittyKat1982]

No teenagers around here. Sorry

[Thompsunshine]

No teenagers around here. Sorry


But you are still young enough that you should know. Of course, I am assuming that your pic is you. :-D

[cfpackerfan]

Heely's ?? LOL

(Goin strictly on clues, not the photo) LOL

[Thompsunshine]

Two points for cfpackerfan....but a Heely's what, exactly.

[cfpackerfan]

And I hope Im not right...because I have to leave in a bit, and I don't have any macro shots prepared, because I haven't been in here for a long long time. :shock:

Aha! I just added to the clues. Fabulous. Now someone else can guess. ;)

[Citizensmith]

One of those roller shoe things? My eldest kids was bugging me to let him have a pair.

Thing is, thats from the Heely comment. The image looks like nothing I'd associate with the shoes we looked at. He didn't get a pair yet. :)

[AirBrontosaurus]

Well, I'm a teenager, and I still have no idea. Good shot Thompsunshine!

[Thompsunshine]

It comes with the shoes. But what is it called?

[Thompsunshine]

Well, I'm a teenager, and I still have no idea. Good shot Thompsunshine!

Thank you AirBront. :-D

Edit: It just occurred to me that perhaps you are spending too much time here at SMGG? LOL :-D

[hospo1]

It comes with the shoes. But what is it called?

HEELY'S WHEEL PLUGS!!!!!!!

[Thompsunshine]

Close enough! They are called Heely's Sole Savers. WE HAVE A WINNER!

[hospo1]

Yeah!!! Wow, I don't win many things. First I'd like to thank....Just kidding! Okay, I'll try to make this easy on everyone. Warning: novice at work.

Alright, maybe I made that a little too easy! :lol:

You're up jr#8!

[Thompsunshine]

hospo I would like to say that yours looks sooooooo clean!

[hospo1]

hospo I would like to say that yours looks sooooooo clean!

Yeah, it helps when you never use it! ;)

[jr#8]

Heres my macro.

[hospo1]

Is that the whole thing, or just a small part of something bigger?

[AirBrontosaurus]

Looks like a pop-rivet.

[Thompsunshine]

I'm with AirBront.

Or a bullet?

[KittyKat1982]

Close enough! They are called Heely's Sole Savers. WE HAVE A WINNER!




I can't believe I did not know that :shock:

[KittyKat1982]

Is it a badly beaten nail on wood

[jr#8]

its a smaller part of something bigger.
Air Bront your on the right track.
Heres a little bigger image
I'm off to bed got a 3 AM wake up call, I check back tomorow after noon.
Need to PM someone with the answer any takers

[AirBrontosaurus]

Tape measure!

[KittyKat1982]

Tape measure!

I think you are right. Looks like a tape mesure to me :D

[Citizensmith]

I don't get it, don't all the things have to have holes in them? :)

Oh and Renee, nice website, good work.

[KittyKat1982]

I don't get it, don't all the things have to have holes in them? :)

Oh and Renee, nice website, good work.

Hey thanks :D

[KittyKat1982]

Well, I'm a teenager, and I still have no idea. Good shot Thompsunshine!

You do some amazing work for being a teenager. You have so much potential to be professional some day. I am quite impressed. :D

[AirBrontosaurus]

You do some amazing work for being a teenager. You have so much potential to be professional some day. I am quite impressed. :D

Wow! Thanks! That really made my day. Thank you :D:D:D

[photobitz]

I'm going to go with the standard misspix answer and say it's a metal thingy...

[KittyKat1982]

I like the tape measure answer, but I did not guess that, but I think it is a really good guess...

[photobitz]

Yeah, I'd have to agree but we're probably wrong.

[Citizensmith]

The handle of a piece of cutlery from a camping set?

[KittyKat1982]

I am not sure at all

[hospo1]

I have absolutely no clue. Then again, I very seldom do. Just ask my daughter, I'm sure she'll be happy to tell you!

[misspix]

I'm going to go with the standard misspix answer and say it's a metal thingy...

Setting standards...that's me:lol: :cool: :p

I can tell:confused: that it is the bottom of something. And that it's metallic. That's all I got.

[AirBrontosaurus]

This is why I said tape measure:

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1756/armbladedo9.jpg

Thats what it looks like to me, anyways.

[jr#8]

Airbront you got it, So post away
Sorry for the delay was finally able to get on.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Alright guys, have at it. This one might go really fast. Good luck!:

http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/5550/smgg25vb2.jpg

[KittyKat1982]

a mouth, the gums maybe. I think I might see the tooth in there

[AirBrontosaurus]

No... but good guess ;)

[jr#8]

denturs/fake teeth

[AirBrontosaurus]

Nope. Nothing to do with my (or anyone's) mouth

[misspix]

Well, heck! My standard guess will not work here ;) So I'm gonna go with plasticky pink thingy :D

[Thompsunshine]

Misspix...your descriptive abilities never cease to amaze me! LOL Heck, I think they look like dentures too.

[Mike Bell]

The tip of your finger - the bit just below your fingernail?

[KittyKat1982]

wow I was sure I had it with someones mouth

[Thompsunshine]

Ok...I am going to go way out on a limb here....a watermelon!

[misspix]

Misspix...your descriptive abilities never cease to amaze me! LOL Heck, I think they look like dentures too.

I am pretty good, huh?;) :p

[Thompsunshine]

I am pretty good, huh?;) :p


Abby solutely!

[KittyKat1982]

It has to be skin or something like that. I think who ever guessed a finger is probably on the right track

[Thompsunshine]

Perhaps it is skin, but I see no hair and I sure as hell hope my skin isn't that shiny!

[KittyKat1982]

I can only see a mouth, that is all I see. Oh well

[Thompsunshine]

Okay. I will give you that. I certainly don't have hair in my mouth! ROFL

[Thompsunshine]

I hope somebody figures this one out while I am out feeding my kids in the barn...it is going to drive me bonkers! Perhaps it is a thingamajig?

[misspix]

Okay. I will give you that. I certainly don't have hair in my mouth! ROFL

ROFLMAO:lol: :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

I hope somebody figures this one out while I am out feeding my kids in the barn...

I sure hope by kids you mean wee goats, or is it common to feed children at the trough in Ohio?;)

[BearLeeAlive]

Is it the inside of the eyelid?

[hospo1]

Pink grapefruit slice? (Yeah, honestly I have no idea where that came from either).

[AirBrontosaurus]

The tip of your finger - the bit just below your fingernail?

Close enough. It's actually the ridges on my fingerprint:

http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/287/smgg26as6.jpg

The white blocks are grains of salt. This was taken with my Canon 100mm macro, a full set of Kenko extension tubes an a reversed 50mm lens.

I took this for the last macro competition, but never got around to pp'ing it well.

Mike Bell, you're up!

[Thompsunshine]

I sure hope by kids you mean wee goats, or is it common to feed children at the trough in Ohio?;)


Hey hey hey....

My HORSES! lol

[Thompsunshine]

Whoa! A fingerprint?????? Now that is impressive.

[JSolie]

The white blocks are grains of salt. This was taken with my Canon 100mm macro, a full set of Kenko extension tubes an a reversed 50mm lens.

I believe this is called a microscope... I'll wager it'll come in handy in various biology classes... :rolleyes:


-- John

[AirBrontosaurus]

I believe this is called a microscope... I'll wager it'll come in handy in various biology classes... :rolleyes:

It pretty much is. It's a real pain to focus too. The DOF is less than a grain of salt... literally. I had to focus-stack to get the whole grain.

Not really useful in the field, but an interesting experiment nonetheless.

[KittyKat1982]

I have no idea what it is!

[Thompsunshine]

Mike Bell...where are youuuu??

[KittyKat1982]

Did john get it right? Is it a microscope?

[KittyKat1982]

If I ever get this darn old guesing game. I had a really good one and I went and posted it on TPBM. What was I thinking. Now everyone will already know what it is before I could even post it. But being the fact that I am not the best at this game, well, I guess it really wont matter all that much. LOL

[AirBrontosaurus]

Did john get it right? Is it a microscope?

He guessed correctly, but it isn't a microscope. It's my canon 100mm macro lens with tubes and a reversed lens. I think that makes the overall mag about 4:1.

[KittyKat1982]

I would of never ever guessed that in a million years. ;)

[photobitz]

LOL. Playing with my bellows setup - I can get 2.2:1 out of it as is. Now what else do I have around that I could add to it....

[BearLeeAlive]

... posted it on TPBM

Well I could be fooled as I have know idea what TPDM is. Is it something like SMGG?

[misspix]

Well I could be fooled as I have know idea what TPDM is. Is it something like SMGG?

BIG CLUE: In the right hands this can bring tears of joy. In the wrong ones - just tears!

[hospo1]

Yes, being quick is a must. We have head on collisions regularly :lol: :lol: :lol:
I don't have an online library, I work straight from my hard drive. I earmark a few shots specifically for TPBM and wait for the right request (of course, we all tend to "interpret" rather freely).;)
