The super macro guessing game

[BearLeeAlive]

I found this object for a Super Macro in the kitchen. This image is 1/8" (3mm) max in size. You all will know what this commonly used item is.

Oh, this stuff makes me feel so nasty, I just love it. :evil: :lol:

whole nutmeg or allspice berry

[cfpackerfan]

Oh didn't I tell you Jim? Not only am I a photographer, I am also a world renowned chef, made famous by my dishes using the whole black peppercorn.


I will get something up shortly. ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

Oh didn't I tell you Jim? Not only am I a photographer, I am also a world renowned chef, made famous by my dishes using the whole black peppercorn.

Oh, you cheated then, no fair......lol :lol: ;) :lol:

I guess I have to get tougher is all ;)

[cfpackerfan]

You could always go with a 'tennis ball'
I hear they are crazy tough to guess. :lol:

My pic is loading right now, give me just a sec longer. ;)

[cfpackerfan]

OK, let's wake things up a bit in here.
Let's get the guessing started!! :p

[BearLeeAlive]

Nacho chip with meat

[cfpackerfan]

As yummy as that sounds right now, nope.

[short5]

It looks funky, a snack? How vague can I guess?:)

[cfpackerfan]

not that vague. :) :p
It's really not funky.
And it is not, in itself, a snack.

[BradT0517]

some sort of cooked food then has cheese melted to a golden brown then meat on top

[cfpackerfan]

LOL....nope

[cfpackerfan]

You wouldnt want to eat this
Though it is partially edible. In a way. Kind of.
How confused are you now? ;)

[BradT0517]

You wouldnt want to eat this
Though it is partially edible. In a way. Kind of.
How confused are you now? ;)

Just say it is nachos with meat so we can keep moving

[cfpackerfan]

LOL!
OK, time for clues then.

This photo consists of 2 completely different things.
One is edible (kind of, in an off sort of way), one is not edible.
The edible portion comes in many different forms. This is only one of them, but one of the most common.
By the way, it is old.

[short5]

coffee filter and grounds?

[BradT0517]

huh
I look at the picture and i read that and all i get is that there are two different things

[KittyKat1982]

Again im out of here Ill never get it right

I am there with you. I only got to jump when when someone did not want to take their turn, but I never seem to guess right. NEVER! ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

coffee filter and grounds?
I like it, even if it isn't right, it sure should be. ;)

[cfpackerfan]

You got it Zane. :)

[thomascanty]

Coffee nachos, huh? I never would have gotten that one.

[BradT0517]

Gah they need an emoticon for bang your head against the table

[short5]

Give me a few I'll put one up

[short5]

Guess what

[short5]

I came to the realization I am passing out tired and have appointments all day tomorrow. Rather than bugger up the game I will pass to anyone who would like to post.

[Thompsunshine]

Gah they need an emoticon for bang your head against the table

[Skrim17]

[BradT0517]

yes

[cfpackerfan]

It is the little foot on the bottom of something.
But you need more specifics than that, so someone else can take it from there....

[BradT0517]

sorry nope
it fastens something and what

[misspix]

It is a plastic buttony, holey thingy that attaches to something green :)

[thomascanty]

It's a snap. But for what?

[BradT0517]

It is used at many places hospitals, schools, and theme parks. Just a few that I can think of off the top of my head

[Skrim17]

it is one of those wrist band things they attach to your wrist and you have to cut it off?

[BradT0517]

[misspix]

Good one Mike, I for one would have never gotten close to pliers! I am sure that surprises no one, lol.

[BearLeeAlive]

Can you tell I have held many a pair of pliers in my hand? ;)
Recognized it instantly.
I am running out to a meeting and will have to take a pic as I exhausted all that would work here. Will post in less than 2 hrs from now.

[BearLeeAlive]

Sorry about the delay, the customers want to spend a bundle on their renovation so had to bump you all for a bit.

Anyway, here it is.

Notta.

Clue: The image width is about 1/8" (3mm)

Tonights special - More hints with every guess. ;)

[Thompsunshine]

I KNOW I KNOW PICK ME PICK ME


Official guess: A really really really white butt:shock:

p.s. With serious medical issues :shock: :shock:

[Citizensmith]

Packing peanuts.

That was going to be my answer but you beat me by 4 minutes. :)

Instead I'll try the prawn crackers that you can get at chinese restaurants (in the UK at least).

[BearLeeAlive]

I KNOW I KNOW PICK ME PICK ME


Official guess: A really really really white butt:shock:

But alas, no. Your answer is note right.

Clue: The substance you see is attached to paper underneath.

[Skrim17]

[BearLeeAlive]

That was going to be my answer but you beat me by 4 minutes. :)

Nope

No to this too.

[Thompsunshine]

Paper underneath and it heats up when used......still sounds like a butt to me ROFL

[BradT0517]

Paper underneath and it heats up when used......still sounds like a butt to me ROFL

Yea I agree

[BearLeeAlive]

Ya, on chile and beer night in Ohio.............:p

[Skrim17]

I know this is terrible of me but I just LOVE guessing but I can't shoot a macro to save my lie and I've nothig worth cropping so I'm giving my turn up to the fastest poster!

[Thompsunshine]

Ya, on chile and beer night in Ohio.............:p

Mr. Smarty Pants!

I know this is terrible of me but I just LOVE guessing but I can't shoot a macro to save my lie and I've nothig worth cropping so I'm giving my turn up to the fastest poster!

Go shoot something and post anyway! Misspix and I were both FORCED to!~LOL Give it a try!

[BearLeeAlive]

And I was the last poster so it would be against the rules.

Hmmmm, what rules.........lol

I do have a couple more ready for my next turn though

[Matoch]

Go shoot something and post anyway! Misspix and I were both FORCED to!~LOL Give it a try!

You make it sound like posting is a bad thing. :D

James

[Thompsunshine]

And I was the last poster so it would be against the rules.

Hmmmm, what rules.........lol

I do have a couple more ready for my next turn though

You make it sound like posting is a bad thing. :D

James

I guess dear Bearly should probably go ahead and post...and as for James....it IS a bad thiing when you are ill prepared! lol

[misspix]

You make it sound like posting is a bad thing. :D

James

Not bad, we just didn't feel like we had the proper tools, lol. We were convinced to go for it :D And now, along with most POTNers I am thinking of ways to purchase things like tubes, macro lens (after the super wide, of course) LOL
I think this weekend I will try to get some stumpers... I haven't posted in a loooooong while. Course, I haven't guessed anything in a long while either, lol!

[Matoch]

I've had tubes for awhile but it wasn't until I got a decent tripod that the macro shot's I've taken seemed to start turning out.

SMGG is probably my favorite thread.

James

[BearLeeAlive]

I've had tubes for awhile but it wasn't until I got a decent tripod that the macro shot's I've taken seemed to start turning out.
I either do free hand if I can brace on something solid, or preferably and most often, use my monopod as I find the tripod takes to long to set up and some of the wee critters I take pictures of seem to have no more patience than a wee child for sitting still.

But, a tripod definitely works best if you have the time to set up.

So James, why don't you put up a macro for us. ;) :p ;)

[misspix]

Yeah, c'mon James, Just Do It :D

[Matoch]

Here we go. Not sure how hard it will be but we'll see.

[BearLeeAlive]

Carved wooden decoration of some kind

[chansh]

Armrest of a chair/sofa.

end of a violin.

[Matoch]

end of a violin.


Well I didn't expect it to go that fast. lol

My next post will have to be a whole lot more macro =)

James

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Dang that was a quick one.... Pretty easy

[BearLeeAlive]

Dang that was a quick one.... Pretty easy
I would have never gotten that one without a lot of clues.;)

Let's see what chansh can do for us.

[chansh]

I'm at work this is all I can find.
This is not a super macro. It's not even a macro.

[chansh]

Carved wooden decoration of some kind


I would have never gotten that one without a lot of clues.;)

Let's see what chansh can do for us.


Your guess was in a way correct.

I think it's helps that both my wife & daughter plays the violin.

[BearLeeAlive]

I think it's helps that both my wife & daughter plays the violin.
Yup, that would help a lot. :lol:

Is it tree bark

[AirBrontosaurus]

I'm gonna say wrought iron

[chansh]

Is it tree bark

You're barking up the wrong tree. :)
I'm gonna say wrought iron

You are on the right track.


As I said before is not a macro. Think bigger

[BearLeeAlive]

A bronzed statue

[chansh]

A bronzed statue

No, I was useful before. It can be made useful again.

I'll be back in about 2 hours.

Will post a bigger crop.

[cfpackerfan]

No, I was useful before. It can be made useful again.


I immediately envisioned Quasimodo dancing around chanting "molten metal, molten metal"

I don't know why. :lol:

[Thompsunshine]

Looks like it might be slate flooring to moi....*sigh*

[chansh]

Ok! Time for another pic.

I'm going to get some food. See ya later!!!( It's not a clue)

[nbt]

It s rusty blunted axehead

[chansh]

No, the back bit is part of the same object.

It;s very heavy and big.

[BearLeeAlive]

Drive cog for tracked equipment

[chansh]

No Its bigger. It's not a macro.

It's uses its weight to do the job.

[BearLeeAlive]

Mill wheel

[chansh]

It's not round. It's have something to do with water.

[BearLeeAlive]

Well, a mill wheel is driven by water, but alas is round.

I am a bit lost here now, maybe part of a mechanism to raise the gate at a lock?

[chansh]

A bigger crop?

[Mike Bell]

Anchor?

[chansh]

We have a winner, Mike you're next.

[Mike Bell]

[leenorman]

fat on a piece of beef

[leenorman]

this is my first guess how long dose it take for an answer

[leenorman]

how come its taking so long

[chansh]

My wife said its a pineapple.

[cfpackerfan]

That is Leonardo of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (http://www.afunk.com/other/ninjaturtles/index5.html) fame. Or it could be Donatello. I always get them mixed up.

[leenorman]

or is it cheese on toast

[chansh]

this is my first guess how long dose it take for an answer

When somebody get it right.
