The super macro guessing game

[thomascanty]

I told you it was too easy. I need to process a few pictures so I have better ones ready... :(

[BearLeeAlive]

Candy of some kind

[Skrim17]

I need tubes, but I'll give it a go. Gimme a few minutes.

[BearLeeAlive]

I told you it was too easy. I need to process a few pictures so I have better ones ready... :(

I think I will do that later today too, if it takes 5 minutes to do one, it only takes 10 minutes to do a whole bunch.

[thomascanty]

True. And I had a better one, but you stole my paperclip idea... :lol:

Had too much red wine yesterday (which for me now is not that much), it made me nasty, so I hacked into your computer to get ideas. ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

Popcorn

Breakfast cereal

[Skrim17]

You are up Dante

[DanteCaspian]

Here is a quick one,

[chansh]

Jigsaw

[DanteCaspian]

Nope.

[Pete]

Battery cover hinge on a camera case?

[Thompsunshine]

I have no idea what it is, but I have a new lens so I need someone to post sumpin I can guess so I can play wit my new lens :-D

[DanteCaspian]

Lets have a few more guesses before I give a hint. I actualy thought someone would get it right away.

[thomascanty]

I have no idea what it is, but I have a new lens so I need someone to post sumpin I can guess so I can play wit my new lens :-D

I don't see a macro lens in the arsenal listed in your sig. But, I do have to wonder about one of those lenses... What in the heck is a Canon 10-22mm f/3.5 IS? ???

[Thompsunshine]

I don't see a macro lens in the arsenal listed in your sig. But, I do have to wonder about one of those lenses... What in the heck is a Canon 10-22mm f/3.5 IS? ???

That is my wide angle lens. :-) I have a very large family and I needed something like that to get everyone in the picture. :-)

Edit: My new lens is listed below the rest of 'em.

[BearLeeAlive]

I don't see a macro lens in the arsenal listed in your sig. But, I do have to wonder about one of those lenses... What in the heck is a Canon 10-22mm f/3.5 IS? ???

I think Lonnie is refering to the lens being f/3.5-4.5 and is non IS.

[thomascanty]

That is my wide angle lens. :-)

But Canon doesn't make such a lens... That's what I was questioning. I too have a Canon 10-22, but mine doesn't have IS... (or a constant f/3.5 aperture)

[Thompsunshine]

How'd that get in there?:oops: Who's messin wit my sig? ROFL

picky picky ROFL

I'll just go sit in the corner now and be really quiet.

[jr#8]

What everyone fall asleep

[Thompsunshine]

I'm not asleep. I am just quietly sitting in my corner. :-)

[DanteCaspian]

Is the silence a demand for a hint?

[Thompsunshine]

I think that it could be. Oops! I was supposed to be quiet. Well, I tried. LOL

[AirBrontosaurus]

Watch band?

[DanteCaspian]

A modern computer convenience.

[Mike Bell]

A modern computer convenience.

speaker?
mouse?
?
:confused:

[Mike Bell]

You might want to check in to 'Doctor Mike's Institute for SMGG Treatment' :wink:


Just thought I'd say I am open for business 24/7 and my rates are very reasonable. ;) (You thought I'd missed that, didn't you, Jim?:p )

[jr#8]

usb cable or card reader

[DanteCaspian]

usb cable

Good, it is the "metal crimped" USB cord end!



Your turn.

[jr#8]

give me afew to get something together.

[BearLeeAlive]

Good, it is the "metal crimped" USB cord end!
Good one Dante, I never really got a chance to look at it close since you gave the clue, which sure did help. Without it I did not have the slightest clue (though many will say that is a constant state of mind for me ;)).

[thomascanty]

Good, it is the "metal crimped" USB cord end!

Excellent one. I never would have gotten it. I guess I've never looked that close at my USB cables.

[DanteCaspian]

I've never looked that close at my USB cables.

Nor had I, I happened to be holding my USB cable data stick when I guessed the egg one, looked close at it and thought, hummmmm.

[jr#8]

Hope this keeps you guessing.
Gonna be out until about 8:30 PM EST US
so dont get mad.

[DanteCaspian]

A plastic mesh strainer?

[KittyKat1982]

Is it a toy of some sort?

[c75mitch]

Is it a reflector from a bike?

[aLFaDaRK]

It looks like a reflector or a solar panel or something...

[Matoch]

How about a kaleidascope which I'm sure is spelled 100% incorectly.

I don't know how you spell kaleido-thingy but I think you might have spelled 'incorrectly' incorrectly! :p :lol:

I don't know how you spell kaleido-thingy but I can spell 'incorrectly' correctly! :p :lol:

Well it's not the first and it certainly won't be the last time I make a spelling mistake. :lol:

James

[c75mitch]

Hi All, Sorry for the delay.

Here is a nice easy one.

.

[StewartR]

A computer mouse.

[c75mitch]

Damn, made it a bit too easy. Well done Stewart, your up:)

.

[StewartR]

Wow! My first win! Give me a little time and I'll see what I can do by way of a challenge.

[StewartR]

OK, this is probably very easy too. (I wish I had a proper macro lens... still, Christmas is coming...) Anyway, I hope it's better than nothing.

[jr#8]

handle of a brush or baby rattle

[Thompsunshine]

My first thought was a beer barrel. :confused:

[photobitz]

I'm thinking yet another scroll wheel...

[StewartR]

handle of a brush or baby rattleNope. It's not the handle of anything. My first thought was a beer barrel. :confused:I wish it were! But it's not any sort of container.

[StewartR]

I'm thinking yet another scroll wheel...Not a wheel of any sort.

[Skrim17]

wire casing

[Thompsunshine]

Flexible wire conduit?

[StewartR]

wire casingNot really. If you could see the whole thing you wouldn't say "Oh, that's a wire casing." Flexible wire conduit?Flexible, yes. But not a conduit.

[photobitz]

Not a wheel of any sort.

Oh thank God!

[Thompsunshine]

Howsabout a straw? The drinky slurpy kind...not the horse bedding kind :-)

[photobitz]

But isn't a straw a conduit?

[Pete]

phone hansdet cord - easy peasy!!

[chansh]

Dame! Pete you beat me to it.

[StewartR]

phone hansdet cord - easy peasy!!We have a winner!! Your turn, Pete.

[Citizensmith]

Always the case that whenever one shows up that I know straight away, someone else got it 3 hours ago. :)

Maybe I should get a blackberry or a treo or something and have the SMGG alert me whenever there is a new post.

[BearLeeAlive]

I have a Motorola Q and the only email sent to it is work related, I just wait until I get back to my home/office to check, but I do spend a lot of time there. If I forwarded all the message alerts from here my phones inbox would get clogged up real quick.

[Thompsunshine]

Is it just me feeling this way, or do we all need to pick up the pace here just a wee bit?

[BearLeeAlive]

Is it just me feeling this way, or do we all need to pick up the pace here just a wee bit?
Nope, it's not just you. We need to get a shot from Pete posted.

[Mike Bell]

Is it just me feeling this way, or do we all need to pick up the pace here just a wee bit?

I used to feel that way too - now I just sit in a corner and gnaw on an old piece of chair leg quietly sobbing until the next SMGG photo comes on. Yes, that's right Bearly - I have now entered phase 5 of SMGGitis!

:( :cry: ........................;)

[StewartR]

I've sent Pete a "wakey wakey" PM... a bit more polite than going round and throwing stones at his window, I expect. (Actually I don't know where he lives... just that it's somewhere in the same county...)

[Thompsunshine]

You wanna share your chair with me?;)

[DanteCaspian]

Seems there may be an addiction here... can't get enough fast enough. Would it be uncouth to have another thread "The super macro guessing game 2" to satisfy?

[Citizensmith]

I think I'll start calling this Super Macro Estimation Game. Better acronym.

[jr#8]

Super Macro Estimation Game
Sure thats the way its been going lately. Seems that the images are guessed right away and the wait between gets longer.

[Fureinku]

pete pete bo bete bete, fe fi fo fete fete PetE!

[jr#8]

Here we go again 12hrs and counting

[Citizensmith]

Here we go again 12hrs and counting

Maybe something like a 12 hour rule would be a good idea. If there has been no follow on posting within 12 hours of the "Hey, you guessed correctly, over to you" post then it just gets passed to me. I mean it becomes a free for all and anyone can upload a new image.

[Thompsunshine]

Right now it is 3:00 in the morning where Pete is...should we wait any longer? He is probably sleeping. argh! ! ! ! !

[jr#8]

I mean it becomes a free for all and anyone can upload a new image.
Works for me

[thomascanty]

Maybe something like a 12 hour rule would be a good idea.

I think even 12 hours is too much.

But here's one to get it going...
http://www.ldphotography.net/smgg/macro7-1.jpg

[DanteCaspian]

The #3 key on a phone?

[thomascanty]

Nope

[DanteCaspian]

My wife is throwing in a guess of a fade dial on a sterio.

[thomascanty]

Not that, either. I should also mention the white balance is off. It's more black than brown. I've corrected it in the next, slightly larger crop, if it becomes necessary to post it.

[BradT0517]

some peice of plastic with the letters "D" and "E"

[thomascanty]

You got it! :D

But I think I need more than that... ;)

[BradT0517]

something where the focus point is slightly above the "DE"

[Fureinku]

for some reason, i keep wanting to work off the word "mode"

[thomascanty]

something where the focus point is slightly above the "DE"

Yeah, you got that part right, too... :oops:

for some reason, i keep wanting to work off the word "mode"

It's probably because you should... ;)

[Fureinku]

the mode dial on either your pentax...

EDIT, i take that back

[Fureinku]

Mode on the flash...

hurry and tell my i win while i look for something

[thomascanty]

It has nothing to do with my Pentax K1000, but it is photography related.

Here's the larger crop. I don't have anything bigger than this without giving it away completely.
http://www.ldphotography.net/smgg/macro7-2.jpg

[Thompsunshine]

I KNOW I KNOW! It is a MODE button! HA HA HA

[Fureinku]

so, im right right?

[thomascanty]

Fureinku got it right while I was posting the larger crop... It's the "MODE" button on my 580EX.
http://www.ldphotography.net/smgg/macro7-full.jpg

[Thompsunshine]

Quickly now! We are ready for another!

[Fureinku]

http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/6043/crop1vr9.jpg

eh, extremely out of focus

[Thompsunshine]

Kind of looks like a sugared persimmon.

[Fureinku]

Kind of looks like a sugared persimmon.

you might be right, if i knew what the hell you just said..

Edit: K, dictionary.com + wikipedia = lifesaver

No, not a sugared persimmon, but it IS sugared

[Thompsunshine]

LMAO!

[thomascanty]

A watermelon with sugar on it?

[Fureinku]

A watermelon with sugar on it?

nope.

[thomascanty]

Strawberry?

I'd better stop guessing. I have no more photos ready for this game...

[BradT0517]

rock candy

[Fureinku]

Strawberry?

I'd better stop guessing. I have no more photos ready for this game...

nope, hint, it isnt something thats grown, but made

[Fureinku]

rock candy

nope, one more hint, think october (i need to go to bed)

[BradT0517]

idk
plus i dont have anything ready

[thomascanty]

nope, hint, it isnt something thats grown, but made

That gave it away for me, but I just can't think of what they're called. It's a watermelon-wedge-sugar-coated-candy-thing.

[Fureinku]

im getting sleeeeeepppyyyyyyy

[Thompsunshine]

You are such a tease Fureinku!

[thomascanty]

Sorry. I can't get any more specific than what I already posted (except to say they're gummy... lol).

I'm getting a little sleepy here too. Even if I got it right, that and my lack of available macro photos would mean I'd have to pass anyway.

[Fureinku]

[BradT0517]

well no one else is on here but us
and i would not be able to take it then it would sit for 12 hours

[thomascanty]

Like I said, I got nuttin' else waiting in the wings. I need to put my macro lenses and tubes to work!

Someone else please take over...

[Fureinku]

uh oh..

WHERE IS PETE? FOR PETESAKE!

[Thompsunshine]

I haven't ever seen a grumdrop that shape before. Isn't that cute.

[Fureinku]

they are pumkin jellies, now stop hurting my feelings *arms crossed*

[Thompsunshine]

awwwww *patting you on the head*

[Thompsunshine]

May I go?

[Thompsunshine]

Let's give this one a try.

[Thompsunshine]

Now it can't be THAT bad of a photograph for no one to guess, can it? :-)

[AirBrontosaurus]

A broach (brooch)?

[Fureinku]

oops, im late

no guess from me, looks like a weird ring, or a weird crown, or just some wierd jewelry

[Thompsunshine]

A broach (brooch)?

Not a brooch. It isn't worn.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling. I was beginning to break out into a sweat! LOL

[Thompsunshine]

oops, im late

no guess from me, looks like a weird ring, or a weird crown, or just some wierd jewelry

It isn't a ring, it isn't a crown, it isn't jewelry....AND IT ISN'T WEIRD! LMAO!

[AirBrontosaurus]

Something to do with a horse?

[Fureinku]

lil jon's pimp cup

[Thompsunshine]

AirBront that is using your brain! But alas...no. Absolutely nothing to do with horses. If horses were around this item it would get demolished.

Fureinku...It isn't that...but I have NO IDEA what that is. :-)

[Fureinku]

http://www.mixmasterice.com/photogallery/photos%202/Lil%20Jon.JPG

thats lil jon, and his cup, i forget the real name of those

[cfpackerfan]

A decorative stud or nail in a piece of furniture. (i.e. an antique chair)

LOL at lil jon's pimp cup!

[Thompsunshine]

It isn't a decorative stud and it isn't furniture. If you sit on this you would crush it. It is pretty delicate.

[short5]

Christmas ornament?

[Thompsunshine]

Christmas ornament?

That is a good guess too, but it isn't an ornament. It is a decorative item, but it doesn't signify any holiday...I don't think.

I find these guesses extremely interesting because they are all so different and I can see how everyone came up with their guesses.

Edit: I am wrong. I had a hunch that I was when I wrote that. geesh. It does signify a specific holiday. However, they aren't generally associated with it for that purpose in this country or in this age.

[Fureinku]

part of a mirrir frame, or a picture frame, or, a chinaware holder? a napkin ring...?

[cfpackerfan]

a faberge egg (http://users.vnet.net/schulman/Faberge/eggs.html)

[Thompsunshine]

Not a frame of any sort. Not china or porcelain. Much more delicate than that. Not a napkin ring. It can hold something however, but nothing specific. LOL I know these descriptions only serve to confuse. I don't mean them to be.

[Fureinku]

i give up, im going to bed, if this isnt solved when i wake up, ill never play again, my head hurts

[cfpackerfan]

ill never play again, my head hurts

spoken like a true addict! LOL

[Thompsunshine]

WOWWW! That went a lot fast than I thought it would. You are gooooooood!

Tis a Faberge Egg. Well, not a REALLL one. I spend all my money on camera stuff. LOL It is a real ostrich egg though, decorated in the style of Faberge.

For those interested: http://users.vnet/schulman/Faberge/eggs.html

I'm tired and going to bed though, so I'll check in tomorrow. Say in about 12 hours or so.

Had you scared and twitching for a minute though, didnt I? ;) :p

[Fureinku]

Not to worry, tho, you are among fiends, er, friends :)

[cfpackerfan]

It's only been 7 minutes. Patience man! ;) :p

Ok. Here ya go. Let the guessing begin.

[cfpackerfan]

And I thought I was the only one who used the number eleventybillion. Thats how many times I have to ask my kids to do their chores, LOL

[misspix]

*wrinkles nose* eewwww, looks like something reptillian
