This is my first image post in quite some time.

Let the guessing begin (It's probably easy lol)

James

[Pete]

Part of a vernier guage?

[Matoch]

I had to look that one up but no it isn't.

James

[Mike Bell]

Part of a Jubilee clip?

[stevieboy378]

a monkey wrench ?

[grumpyhaggis]

Is it one of these things.. what do you call it.... the opposite of a screw?

[stevieboy378]

A nut ?

[Thompsunshine]

Is it a rack from a rack and pinion mechanism?

[Matoch]

None of the above.

James

I'm going to bed so this is close enough. It's actually the Tap (unless I'm really confused)

Your up!

James

[Mathiau]

^^^ was gonna say, "tap" or a 'threader" that puts threads into an object.

You're up, none ready here, sorry. :o

or whoever might have one ready...

[webcrawlur]

It is definitely the tap, should have said both, oh well, such is life, eh?:lol:

[Mathiau]

None here - TAKE A TURN ANYONE

:D

[Mikezoom]

Woops, sorry guys :rolleyes: . My bad, geez it was funny watching all of you go crazy while silly ol' me forgot that I posted in here. :lol: Ok, can I still play?

Mike. :confused:

Thanks! :D

[Skrim17]

rollerblade wheel

[Mikezoom]

Sorry Skrim17, a wheel of some sort though.

[BearLeeAlive]

I know, but don't have a macro ready, nor the energy to do one tonight so will have to pass on guessing.

BTW, it has nothing to do with a cat. ;)

Sorry, had to. :)

[jr#8]

scroll wheel from the mouse

[Mikezoom]

lol - meow

Thats it jr#8!!!!!!!

[Matoch]

lol even I recognized that one in about 2/3rds of a second.

James

[webcrawlur]

lol even I recognized that one in about 2/3rds of a second.

James:lol:

Would have stumped me, I haven't used one with a wheel in like, well, forever.:confused: :lol:

[surfologist]

I have an apple mouse, and the wheel looks nothing like that. You mac users know what i mean... I had NO idea what it was, once he said it, i then understood.

I thought it was some kind of wheel to a roller skate, then i was like duh, its got ridges... so whatever

good one mikezoom, had me stumped!

[Citizensmith]

We could be a little more specific, its a tilt-scroll wheel rather than just a plain scroll wheel. From a Microsoft Intellimouse as well as I think all the Logitech tilt-scroll wheels are smooth.

The Logitech scroll wheels have a much nicer action. :)

[Mathiau]

^^ smarty pants

[jr#8]

Heres 1 I hope it will keep you busy for a while so of to work.

[thomascanty]

A blurry grasshopper face?

[photobitz]

a cicada or a leaf hopper

[Mathiau]

a bug with green eyes :d HA HA, take that.

[DozerLYP]

it look like a red X in a white box to me.
my damn treo 700w don't show some of the images...

[misspix]

the yucky chinese food that I never eat because it looks like weeds dipped in snot?

Holy Moley~ Remind me to never eat chinese food where misspix lives.:shock:

[Citizensmith]

Oh man, how can you remember what those looked like? :lol: :rolleyes: :lol:

[brettrobsonphotography]

Dragonfly??

[KittyKat1982]

hmmmm, I think the guesses above me are about the same as I would come up with

[thomascanty]

Haven't we been teased long enough here? How about a bigger crop, or a better clue... It's been almost a day and half now. I only made it to half a day with my first one before I was goaded into giving a hint that gave it away...

[BearLeeAlive]

He hasn't been on here since his last clue. People ought to be a wee bit more vigilant when they post the macro. If you need to be gone for a long time baybe give good enough clues that someone will get it.

By my reckoning it's about 3.30pm where he lives so I suppose he must be working. Let's give him 2 or 3 hours to get home and put on his computer - then we can give him HELL! :lol: :lol:

[TooManyHobbies]

Chigger ?

[jr#8]

Give me hell all you want. Try working a 12 hr day and run around with 14 10/11 year old girls trying to teach them how to play the game of soccer.:lol: But I do love it.
So heres a bigger crop. And the clue
mostly found on trees.
This is the original image
Sorry for the blow out

[TooManyHobbies]

caterpillar, inch worm?

[Permagrin]

Rejected George Lucas character?

[AirBrontosaurus]

It's a cicada (http://www.1000plus.com/alex/ImageGallery/Terra%20Cognita/Charleston/Singing%20Cicada.jpg), but I thought someone already guessed that

Hey there misspix! What's happening?

I've been around, getting used to college life and taking some collegiate macro shots ;). Just a few days ago I ordered my nifty-fifty! I'm so excited!

So what's new with you?

[misspix]

Congrats on the nifty! Got one meself just a bit back. Still getting used to that DOF, holy cow! Gotta watch my focus on this one!
The only thing new I guess is my daughter getting married a couple weekends ago. It was great, but glad it's over!
How is college life treating you?

Tell your daughter I said congratulations!

College life is treating me very well. Classes are OK, and my roommates are great. Oh yeah, and I found a great place to do macro, and the photography club has its callouts tomorrow! All in all, it's been pretty awesome!

[misspix]

I wish there was a local photog club here *sigh* It would be so great to go shooting with likeminded people.
I think I'll be off for the night, happy shooting! Be sure to share ;)

[Thompsunshine]

Well, whatever it is, it has white lips and they look ohh soo kissable! :shock:

They are Betty Boop ish

[jr#8]

a cicada or a leaf hopper
All right I'll give it to PHOTOBITZ
But its the shell I was lookong for

[photobitz]

Ummm... ok obviously...:rolleyes:

Crap... now I need a photo. Gimme a sec. OK here's an interesting one...

[Monkeymicra]

Is it a chocolate bar?

[stevieboy378]

A seashell ?

[RandyMN]

star fish?

[photobitz]

Chocolate bar??!!?!?! lol
It did come from a sea creature but not a starfish or a snail.

[stevieboy378]

coral ?

[photobitz]

nup

[Mike Bell]

Is it a sea urchin shell?

[BearLeeAlive]

nup Ok, ya gotta explain 'nup'.

Is it a combo of no and yup which is confusing or just a single option of the two for us to figure out. I think I may be having one of those daft moments. :lol:

[Mike Bell]

'Nup' is Aussie for 'nope' which is American for 'no'! At least I think so........:)

[BearLeeAlive]

'Nup' is Aussie for 'nope' which is American for 'no'! At least I think so........:)

Man, those Aussie's are almost as bad as Brit's for poor english. :lol: ;) :lol:

[Monkeymicra]

Octopus

Squid

[Mike Bell]

Man, those Aussie's are almost as bad as Brit's for poor english. :lol: ;) :lol:

:p ...... and as for those Canadians.................! :p

[photobitz]

Is it a sea urchin shell?

Yes it is!

...and you're right in your interpretation of "nup" too... LOL

[Mike Bell]

Yes it is!

...and you're right in your interpretation of "nup" too... LOL


Woo hoo! A double score! :D

Since Matoch guessed my last one within minutes I have dug deep into my pile of fiendishly tricky macro shots. You guys haven't a chance ......... :lol:
http://static.flickr.com/89/236819336_cdc03fd43a_o.jpg

Don't worry! I have clues and a wider shot ....... but not yet! ;)

[kiss_me_now9]

A leaf?

[BearLeeAlive]

Am I right in thinking this is an image from the 'doctor' side of Mike, not the 'personal' side?

[Mike Bell]

Am I right in thinking this is an image from the 'doctor' side of Mike, not the 'personal' side?

I thought someone would think that! But no, I didn't bring a gall bladder home to photograph! Yuck!

Kiss-me-now9 is much closer........... You need to be more specific though. :) Leaves don't have something that this visibly has.

[thomascanty]

Butterfly wing?

Whatever it is, you need to post it in this thread (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=188689) when you reveal the answer, because I see a human profile in there...

[cfpackerfan]

A cocoon

as for human profile...yes. Elvis. With his pompadour hairdo

[Mike Bell]

Hehe! I'm enjoying this. Can't see the human profile myself :rolleyes: !

Kiss_me_now9 is still by far the closest. It is part of a plant but not a leaf.

[cfpackerfan]

Bugger! I so thought I was right with that one!
Is it a flower petal with the stamen shadow showing through?

Oh...and here is your profile....

[Mike Bell]

Thanks, Cat - I see him now! :D

You are sooooooo close!

What comes after a flower?

[Citizensmith]

What comes after a flower?

Bees normally, they want the pollen.

It's a seed sack of some kind? Ready to burst and throw its seedy goodness to the wind.

[Mike Bell]

Got it in one! It is the seed pod of the Honesty plant:

http://static.flickr.com/85/236819341_f888b0ecfb_o.jpg

You're up Citizensmith!

[BearLeeAlive]

Cool shot of that seed pod Mike.

[Citizensmith]

Kind of a wierd item, sorry its a bit grainy, didn't have a flash with me.

[Citizensmith]

Cool shot of that seed pod Mike.

Agreed, very nice photo. It's just funny that they look like they have little embryos in them. :)

[misspix]

goggles for a long and lopsided face?

[TooManyHobbies]

shoe eyelets

[KittyKat1982]

Is it a took of some sort?

[Citizensmith]

Is it a took of some sort?

Assuming you meant tool, yes.

Nope, not shoe related.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Wire strippers?

[Citizensmith]

Nope, strippers are the wrong direction. Unfortunately.

[photobitz]

Nope, strippers are the wrong direction. Unfortunately.

So more in the direction of ballroom dancers then?

[Mike Bell]

Agreed, very nice photo. It's just funny that they look like they have little embryos in them. :)

Thanks, guys. It was nicely backlit by warm afternoon sunlight. I used the EF-S 60 macro lens for all three shots.

As for the new pic - Is it some attachment for a sewing machine?

[Citizensmith]

Nope, not sewing related. I'll post a larger view when I get back to work.

[KittyKat1982]

Assuming you meant tool, yes.

Nope, not shoe related.

Yep, tool. OK good. I will put my thinking cap on.

[Citizensmith]

This item has one thing unusual compared to all the others I've posted. This one isn't all plastic. Mostly, but not all.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Plastic ratchet-gripper deal(y)?

[Citizensmith]

Plastic ratchet-gripper deal(y)?

Nope, it is a deal(y) though. Here's a larger shot. Big clue on this one.

[KittyKat1982]

I am really not good at this game

[misspix]

Metal snips?

[Citizensmith]

Metal snips?

Nope, but its headed in the right direction.

[Matoch]

Is it one of those seatbelt cutters?

Basically a piece of plastic that has a razorblade inside that you slide over the belt to cut it? It's also designed to prevent you from cutting yourself.

That's one dumb sounding guess. lol

James

[BradT0517]

wax lips

[BradT0517]

snorkle flippers

[webcrawlur]

Nope, but its headed in the right direction.

How about tubing cutters...:confused:

[cfpackerfan]

Looks like some sort of comb...hmmm....
The attachment on an electric razor?

[webcrawlur]

Nice avatar Cat, same color as my wife's...:)

[Citizensmith]

Nope to the electric razor thing, otherwise definitely the right ideas but not there yet. Matoch is closest. So close I almost handed it over, this just has nothing specifically to do with seat belts.

[jr#8]

Maybe a coupon cutter

[Citizensmith]

I thought about it, I'm going to give it to Matoch for getting the cutter part. Sure its not a seatbelt cutter but I guess we don't have to be too close. That and I've no idea what a coupon cutter is. :)

Its a Big Penguin Safety knife (http://www.safetyknife.net/bigpenguin.htm).

Matoch, over to you.

[Matoch]

Sweet. my strange explanation paid off!

Let's give this one a try. I'm heading to bed so I won't be able to check guesses for a few hours.

James

[Mike Bell]

Looks like a Rowntrees fruit pastille (blackcurrant flavour).

(For those poor souls who live in countries not blessed with this sublime product it's a chewy fruit flavour sweet coated with sugar crystals). Nice!:D

[TooManyHobbies]

Wife glamware hanging over the bedpost. Wife? Glam? No wait - mistress glamware hanging over the bedpost.

[Thompsunshine]

Wife glamware hanging over the bedpost. Wife? Glam? No wait - mistress glamware hanging over the bedpost.

ROFL shame on you!

[jr#8]

Looks like a Rowntrees fruit pastille (blackcurrant flavour). In the eastern states we call them Chukles.
But the image looks like a carbon rod or stone dresser( for reforming grinding wheels)

[stevieboy378]

A geode ?

[Matoch]

To be honest when I posted it I had no idea what it really was. But I knew I could find out looking online. So after my exciting google search I can confidently say none of the above.

James

You did what! .... NO IDEA WHAT IT REALLY WAS!!!! ..... Shame on you!
(Now why didn't I think of that? ...............)

I so wanted it to be a fruit pastille - I love those sharp sugar crystals on my tongue! :) But it does start to look more grinding wheel like now. Is it sandpaper? (NOT so nice on the tongue, I imagine! :cry: )

I'm going to give you this one. Partially because I think it's close enough and partially because I'm heading out right away. It's one of my dremmel bits. I've never even used this one.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who does that. :)

[quote]

Oh heck! :confused: I'm afraid my recent claim to have a vast vault full of SMGG shots just waiting to be unleashed was ....... a fib! :o

I haven't got anything ready and it's nearly midnight and I have to work a 24 hour shift starting at 8.30am tomorrow. :(

So ......... jump in someone else! :)

[cfpackerfan]

Well, it's been 3 hours, and no one has jumped on Mike's pass, so I'll grab it up. ;) It may be the only chance I'll have to post a photo. :lol:

So without any further ado.... here ya go!
This is uncropped, straight from camera.

[Skrim17]

oooh oooh oooh

[cfpackerfan]

Spit it out Crissa! LOL

[thomascanty]

I know what it is! (But, I read the other thread first...)

[Becky N]

I just signed on and think I know but have nothing ready.

[cfpackerfan]

LOL. Would you have guessed if you hadnt read it? I had no idea it would be that easy. :rolleyes: I suck. :p
Maybe I should have converted it to B&W, LOL

[thomascanty]

LOL. Would you have guessed if you hadnt read it?

I don't think I would have. Not right away, anyway...

[Matoch]

Looks kinda like a Tennis Ball.

James

[cfpackerfan]

James...you got it. :)
Sorry about the wait. :oops:
You are up.
I suck. :p

[Matoch]

ok I have to find something to post. I'll post in a few.

James

[Matoch]

Ok Here we go.

108743

[Citizensmith]

A plug? Guess we have to figure out what type.

[Matoch]

I'm looking for something a lot more specific then that :)

James

[Mathiau]

a DVI port/ plug, left half :)

[Matoch]

a DVI port/ plug, left half :)

ant that would be exactly what I was looking for. Sorry it took so long to respond. I was in bed.

Your up!

James

[photobitz]

I never noticed that the pins were twisted...

[webcrawlur]

aaaawwwwww, it's Monday, where is everyone? No SMGG? :cry:

[photobitz]

Don't know... :(

[Matoch]

I'd say it's been long enough that anyone who wants to post should be able too.

James

[webcrawlur]

I'd say it's been long enough that anyone who wants to post should be able too.

James




I agree, who's got one?:D

[photobitz]

Not me... I'm at work

[Thompsunshine]

Helllooooo out there *listening to echo*

[cfpackerfan]

Last time I posted it was guessed on the VERY first try. LOL. I am embarassed to the point of waiting a bit till I get better. :)

[Thompsunshine]

Cat: Don't wait at all! Go ahead, mine get guessed quite quickly too, and I am not embarrassed...I figure they don't know what I look like so I could walk right past them and they wouldn't know it was me! ROFL

[thomascanty]

I have a few ready, but I'm heading out of town in the morning and my Internet availability for the next few days is iffy, so I don't think I should post one.
