The super macro guessing game

[cfpackerfan]

how come its taking so long

It depends on when the poster can come back on and check. There is no set time limit. ;)
Sit back and enjoy, then when Mike comes back on, he will say yay or nay to all the guesses, give hints if needed, or a bigger crop. It's an ongoing process.

Welcome, and have fun!

[leenorman]

thanks mate

[chansh]

custard?????

[leenorman]

ive just got my first slr its a canon 350d im just trying to work out what it can do

[Mike Bell]

fat on a piece of beef
no

My wife said its a pineapple.
closest yet ........... but no

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.
LOL! No!

or is it cheese on toast
I see what you mean. but no.

how come its taking so long
Patience! :)

Sometimes it takes hours - this game is played all around the world, in different time zones, by people at home and at work - people who need to eat, sleep, hide their browser screens from the boss, go to the bathroom ..... do I really need to go on? :lol:

[chansh]

If you got the right lens it can do super macros.:)

So its a fruit.
What a shame! I have to get to sleep now, need to get up a 5am for a long drive.

[BearLeeAlive]

how come its taking so long

Mike works hard and is getting old. He needs naps. ;) :lol: :lol:


On this thread one must be patient as the poster has a real life to lead as well as the one on here. well usually. :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

If you got the right lens it can do super macros.:)
Or buy a relatively inexpensive set of Extension Tubes to use with an existing lens. This is what I do though I do plan on getting an 100mm macro soon too.

scrambled egg on toast

[jr#8]

pumpkin

[Mike Bell]

It can do a lot more than many of its owners realize - take a look in the various Photo Sharing sections of these forums. Lots of really outstanding images you see there are taken with that camera. So are all of mine! :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

......... as Jim discovered when he got old ...... many....... many......years ago! :lol:
Exactly. ;)
My username isn't 'barely alive' 'cause I am a spring chicken. :lol:

[Mike Bell]

Not a pineapple, or a pepper, or atomato, or a pumpkin but a .......
(even wider crop, practically the whole fruit, come on guys!)

Time to get us guessing again, Jim. I never knew that all your SMGG shots are done with just tubes. Can't wait to see your shots with a true macro lens! :)

[Mike Bell]

WOW!

I think Jim just got it but I have never seen a 3 post collision here before, only in the TPBM thread! :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

Here we go

[BearLeeAlive]

I never knew that all your SMGG shots are done with just tubes. Can't wait to see your shots with a true macro lens! :)
I do have the EF Life Size Converter I can throw on too. With just my tubes I get better that 1:1 and with the converter I get nearer 2:1.

[Mike Bell]

Naw! Not some of your earwax AGAIN, Jim! :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

My son thought it might be a dried piece of snot with nose hairs in it but I can assure you it is not. :rolleyes:

[BearLeeAlive]

Naw! Not some of your earwax AGAIN, Jim! :lol:
LOL, were you over here in Canada about 17 yrs ago by chance. My son sure seems to think along the same lines as you. Coincidence, hmmmmmm... :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

BTW Mike, not earwax......

[misspix]

eewwwwww *wrinkling nose* looks icky, lol.

Is it steel wool?

[Skrim17]

dog toy

[BearLeeAlive]

eewwwwww *wrinkling nose* looks icky, lol.

Is it steel wool?

Nope Terri, I am quite sure it is top part of something you would like.

I will add a hint to every guess.

[misspix]

well hmmmmmm...It doesn't in any way resemble a 10-22...
Is it a crumbly topping of some kind?

[BearLeeAlive]

dog toy
Not a dog toy Crissa.

But maybe an adult toy might be used at the same time.
;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

well hmmmmmm...It doesn't in any way resemble a 10-22...
Is it a crumbly topping of some kind?
Not the lens you desire, not a crumbly topping.

This type of thing has been around for hundreds of years

[misspix]

Not the lens you desire, not a crumbly topping.

Well, that helps, LOL!
hmmmm, curioser and curioser *tapping finger to chin*

:idea: Some expensive piece of clothing? :)

[BearLeeAlive]

:idea: Some expensive piece of clothing? :)
Notta

Mike's really bad guess before was by far the closest yet.

[BearLeeAlive]

C'mon y'all. Step up and make a guess. Don't be afraid of getting burned.;)

[webcrawlur]

C'mon y'all. Step up and make a guess. Don't be afraid of getting burned.;)


:confused: jerky?

[jr#8]

Cat poop

[BearLeeAlive]

:confused: jerky?
No

It is not edible

[BearLeeAlive]

Cat poop
Nope :lol:

The whole object is sometimes used to set a mood

[jr#8]

oyster

[BearLeeAlive]

oyster
LOL, nope, not a food

This item is used, if unused would look nothing like this

[AirBrontosaurus]

A sickly candle?

[BearLeeAlive]

A sickly candle?
Oh yeah, the lurker sits back waiting for the kill!!!!!:lol:

You got it AirB, but it is not sickly, just a dusty wick.

113098

[BradT0517]

gah so lame
really macro wow

[AirBrontosaurus]

Oh yeah, the lurker sits back waiting for the kill!!!!!:lol:


Bwahaha... I am quite the predator ;)!

I'll have something up in a few.

[BearLeeAlive]

was that a crop

Yes, this is the full size image. I thought it would be a give away. ;)

113101

[AirBrontosaurus]

Alright, here ya go:

http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/2695/smgg32li1.jpg

[jr#8]

key board

[AirBrontosaurus]

Nope, not a keyboard

[BearLeeAlive]

cable port

[Thompsunshine]

Bearly~I am wondering how come I saw no images or a link to your orange? hmm

[Thompsunshine]

I KNOW I KNOW! Leftover pizza found under the sofa from pulliing all nighters!

[BearLeeAlive]

Bearly~I am wondering how come I saw no images or a link to your orange? hmm
'twasn't my orange, 'twas Mikey's orange

[Thompsunshine]

'twasn't my orange, 'twas Mikey's orange

o :oops:

HEY MIKEY!

[AirBrontosaurus]

Nope, Nope. Nothing food realted.

[BearLeeAlive]

OK, we could use a step in the right direction here.

Is this material metal?

[Matoch]

Is it part of a camera? Kinda looks like the darker part could lead to a piece that you look through.

James

[AirBrontosaurus]

Not metal, not part of a camera.

Material hint: Plastic.

This is a crop of a 2:1 image on a 8.3mp sensor. What you're looking at is pretty small.

[chansh]

Is a corner of a plastic thingy.

[Mike Bell]

o :oops:

HEY MIKEY!

W...........wha..........whassat! Hey, you just woke me up - it's before 7am here! Whatya want? <yawn> An orange? At this time in the morning? <yawn>

Is a corner of a plastic thingy.

I agree.

Corner of a flash unit?

[AirBrontosaurus]

It is a corner of a plastic thingy. Not a flash.

I'll have a hint a little later. It's too early for me to think, and I have class now (A deadly combination).

[jpvaz]

some wierd corner on one of those plastic model cars?

[BearLeeAlive]

A slot for a disk drive.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Nope.

Hint one: This is something you wear

[Skrim17]

watch

[Pete]

belt buckle

[AirBrontosaurus]

No watch, no belt buckle. I have class again (yay :() until like 5:00, but I'll be back then to answer your guesses.

[akhoopes]

no idea

[BearLeeAlive]

buckle or some kinda strap attachment device.

Holy cow, am starting to sound like some of the girls on here. ;) :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

Nah, Jim. To sound like one of the girls, you would have to have said 'thingie' instead of 'device'
'Device' is most definitely a masculine word.

[BearLeeAlive]

Nah, Jim. To sound like one of the girls, you would have to have said 'thingie' instead of 'device'
'Device' is most definitely a masculine word.
Whew, though I might have crossed a boundry there. :cool:

[chansh]

Square sun glasses :)

[AirBrontosaurus]

BearLee is close with buckle/strap.

Hint #2: Larger crop

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6657/smgg33ev0.jpg

[misspix]

buckle or some kinda strap attachment device.

Holy cow, am starting to sound like some of the girls on here. ;) :lol:

My guess:the clasp on a strap...THINGY. ROFL

[chansh]

Zip

[BearLeeAlive]

My guess:the clasp on a strap...THINGY. ROFL
That's what I said....

....but in a more manly way (Cat said so) :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

Tie clip

[BearLeeAlive]

clasp

[Mike Bell]

cuff link?

[jr#8]

seat belt

[the_erickee]

i am lost lol

[Citizensmith]

Aw come on, the large crop makes even less sense than the first one. :)

[misspix]

^^^^what he said, lol

[Citizensmith]

It's a big black pendant with a gold embossed T on it to symbolise your lifelong devotion to Mr T and all his devine teaching. And I pity the fool that says I'm wrong.

Or its a wierd looking battery or tennis ball.

[cfpackerfan]

It is NOT a tennis ball!

:p :p :p


(that would be WAY too easy)

[Thompsunshine]

buckle or some kinda strap attachment device.

Holy cow, am starting to sound like some of the girls on here. ;) :lol:


hey hey hey~ LMAO!

[Thompsunshine]

I KNOW I KNOW PICK ME PICK ME! !

It is your Zorro Shirt!

[misspix]

I KNOW I KNOW PICK ME PICK ME! !

It is your Zorro Shirt!

ROFL! I think Sunshine has it :lol:

[AirBrontosaurus]

It's a big black pendant with a gold embossed T

Not a T... but a P for Purdue!

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/1224/smgg34bo9.jpg

I was gonna make you guess which letter, but I thought that would be too mean.

So, I pitty the foo' who has to go next (in this case, it's Citizensmith)

[AirBrontosaurus]

I KNOW I KNOW PICK ME PICK ME! !

It is your Zorro Shirt!

I wish! How cool would that be, to have a Zorro shirt!

[Citizensmith]

OK, here's a nice bright and cheerful one. First clue, it is in no way associated with Mr T.

[BearLeeAlive]

nose plugs

[Thompsunshine]

Ahh geezzzzz I KNOW it is another T O O L ! grr

edit: I think you should post a pic of your tool box so we can guess WHICH tool~ ;)

[jpvaz]

One of those thing's used to hang clothes on a rope to dry?!?

(sorry, don't know the correct word in english for that...)

[BearLeeAlive]

(sorry, don't know the correct word in english for that...)
clothes pin

[chansh]

A very colourful pair of glasses.

[Citizensmith]

Not a nose clip or clothes peg or glasses. Also, the item wouldn't be found in a tool box.

The green and red are different items. The green is what I'm really after. The red is why the green exists. The particular colors mean nothing.

[Skrim17]

E-Z chopstick holder so anyone can use them.

[Citizensmith]

E-Z chopstick holder so anyone can use them.

Spot on, guess my clue was too easy. :) My kids love using these as they can then eat with chopsticks like the adults when we are out getting chinese or something. Over to you!

[Skrim17]

ok, this is a crop not a real macro...

http://http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/skrim/first.jpg

[Pete]

Me no see picture...?

[Skrim17]

I know me either, but when I check the text the html code is there?? weird.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/skrim/first.jpg

[Pete]

Oh.. I see it now. Looks to me like the edge of a CD...

Oh, your first attempt at the pic had two "http"'s in it, that's why it didn't work..

[Skrim17]

not a CD

[Pete]

Hmmm... wine glass?

[Thompsunshine]

A glass bowl.

[Skrim17]

no glass at all.

[Pete]

It's a glazed china bowl then!! :D

You're being tight with the clues, Crissa!! lol

[Skrim17]

it doesn't hold anything but air.

[Pete]

Hmmm.. tough one... a balloon?

[Skrim17]

another crop

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/skrim/second.jpg

[Pete]

Ooooh... It's a SOAP BUBBLE!!!!

[Skrim17]

I'll give it to you on bubble, it is actually some sort of terribly smelly children's blow a plastic bubble while gettng high on the fumes thing....
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/skrim/show.jpg

[Pete]

Wooo.. great one, Crissa. The first one really looked like a CD reflecting...

I'll toss this one to someone else as I need bed!!!

[BearLeeAlive]

OK, I actually have one ready.

[misspix]

I'ts a metal thingy with an odd hole, attached to sumpin red :)

[thomascanty]

Looks like the underside of a fiberglass fender on a red Ferarri. lol

[BearLeeAlive]

I'ts a metal thingy with an odd hole, attached to sumpin red :)
Man, you are real close............:lol:
Except the sumpin' red is attached to the metal thingy. ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

Looks like the underside of a fiberglass fender on a red Ferarri. lol
Nice imagination, but alas nope.......:rolleyes: :lol: :lol:

[misspix]

'Tis the positve cable on jumper cables! (Ha, bet you didn't even know that I knew what jumper cables are, lol)

[Matoch]

Looks like suede.

Maybe a Jacket or shoes?

James

[BearLeeAlive]

'Tis the positve cable on jumper cables! (Ha, bet you didn't even know that I knew what jumper cables are, lol)
Not exactly right, but you are soooooooooo close. I might even give it to you, well maybe, I'll decide. ;)

Just remember this is macro.

[Pete]

Those little electrical testing crocodile clips?

[misspix]

oooooooooh, I haven't been close in a long while. hmmmmm...is it one of those check-the-voltage thingy's? *where is hubby when I need him*

[misspix]

Those little electrical testing crocodile clips?
Yeah! That! LOL!

[BearLeeAlive]

Pete is right on, but only due to your sleuthing Terri. Whoever wants can post next.

113587

[Pete]

Wow.. Sorry, Terri. You got most of the way there. You win the chance to put your own macro up...

[misspix]

No apologies Pete :D Go ahead...I have nuttin ready :rolleyes:

[BradT0517]

[Mike Bell]

Oh .............. and I've just invented a new rule for SMGG. Jin (BearLeeAlive) is NOT allowed to guess this one until at least 3 girls have had a go! :lol:

[BradT0517]

Yay Metal on sand

[Mike Bell]

Yay Metal on sand

There is metal in it, but no sand. I think what you are seeing is dust.

[misspix]

A level? (that's one down Jim ;))

[Mike Bell]

A level? (that's one down Jim ;))

Hehe! I made that rule because Jim was bound to guess it as it is a tool. A spirit level, to be precise :

http://static.flickr.com/90/255114597_4c80388d70_o.jpg

You're up Terri!

[BearLeeAlive]

Oh .............. and I've just invented a new rule for SMGG. Jin (BearLeeAlive) is NOT allowed to guess this one until at least 3 girls have had a go! :lol:
Hey, not fair!!!:evil:

I didn't get it right away anyway, but great job Terri. Besides, was gone all day doing a solo trip to the zoo.

[Mike Bell]

Hey, not fair!!!:evil:

I didn't get it right away anyway, but great job Terri. Besides, was gone all day doing a solo trip to the zoo.

But you're just too good at those tools, Jim! :) Lots of my SMGG shots come from my toolbox and I thought the girls needed a bit of a help ............. in a completely non-sexist, non-patronising way, of course! ;)

Have you posted any shots from the zoo yet?

[BearLeeAlive]

Have you posted any shots from the zoo yet?
Just sorting in RSP and starting some converisons now.

[misspix]

Holy Smokes! I can't believe it, and no help from hubby either :lol: K, gotta shoot something so give me a few...

[misspix]

Okay here 'tis...guess away ;)
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k259/miss-pix/SMGG/SMMG001.jpg

[Mike Bell]

It's a METAL THINGY! :lol:

[misspix]

It's a METAL THINGY! :lol:

:lol: You caught my own little joke! You are partly correct, there is a bit of metal and it is a thingy (an official one, too!)

[BearLeeAlive]

It's a METAL THINGY! :lol:
What a girly guess.:lol:

I say it is a metal DEVICE (According to Cat, a much more manly description). ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

I looks like it could turn, an axle on somehting maybe.

[misspix]

I looks like it could turn, an axle on somehting maybe.

Yes, it could and can turn, not an axle. And only part metal :)
