The super macro guessing game

[cfpackerfan]

Larger crop to help. :p

[sirsloop]

its the paper on a crayon

[cfpackerfan]

Yep.
Brad said crayon first, but sirsloop was more specific.

However... I will let the two of you duke it out and see who is next. :p

[BradT0517]

oh paper on a crayon

[BradT0517]

Gah
you can have it sirsloop i dont have anything

[sirsloop]

ok... lemmie cook up something

[sirsloop]

ok... here we go!

[Becky N]

Slice of bologna

[Epluim]

Frosting?

[jr#8]

polishing wheel

[Kadman]

Foam padding. Looks to be the underside or inside of something covered in dark fabric.

[webcrawlur]

cheese...

[sirsloop]

nope, nada, negative... no one even came close! This is somthing that was on my kitchen counter...

[Becky N]

Gripper for opening jars

[BradT0517]

umm
looks like a glass
posibly scraped off wax
wood
linoleum

[BearLeeAlive]

synthetic cork

[Kadman]

Underside of a clay pottery piece.

[Citizensmith]

Underside of a clay pottery piece.

What you said

[sirsloop]

synthetic cork

close...

[BearLeeAlive]

Real cork

[AirBrontosaurus]

A corky coaster?

[aLFaDaRK]

Looks like either foam or wood?

[sirsloop]

a wider shot....

http://www.jdhaesloop.com/IMG_3460a.JPG

[walla]

a plug of some sort?

[sirsloop]

you buy these 4 at a time in the store

[photobitz]

A wine bottle stopper.

[sirsloop]

getting warm

[thomascanty]

I know what it is, but I don't want to have to pass my turn again (forgot to bring the camera to work today...).

[sirsloop]

just spew it out and photobitz can post up

[thomascanty]

It's a canning jar. I think that's what they're called. They have that lid with the rubber lip that you crimp down with that handle that I can see on the right side of the picture.

[sirsloop]

heh heh... its kinda sorta a canning jar, now just think of what kind of liquid you keep in this particular one. The mechanics work the same as a mason jar which you described

[sirsloop]

http://www.jdhaesloop.com/IMG_3460b.JPG

[thomascanty]

Hmmm... I think I've seen syrups sold in jars like that too.

[sirsloop]

"real men" dont drink syrup though! HAHAH!

[thomascanty]

Ok. I sure thought I knew, but now you've led me off the track... :rolleyes: :confused:

[Citizensmith]

beer bottle stopper

[sirsloop]

too many people drink natty ice these days... its a grolsh bottle :)

http://www.jdhaesloop.com/IMG_3461.JPG

[thomascanty]

Gawd, I should have known that! Sheesh...

[Citizensmith]

Mmm, Grolsch. Been a long time since I had some of that. Think I'll get some next time I'm at the store. :)

Photo will be along shortly.

[sirsloop]

I only buy it for the bottles... that one was actually one of my belgian wit's... but I also have a batch of coffee stout sitting in my Fischer 22oz flip tops...

[Citizensmith]

http://www.notesfromtherivercity.com/dump/macro6smallest.jpg

Lets see how fast this one goes.

[Citizensmith]

I only buy it for the bottles... that one was actually one of my belgian wit's... but I also have a batch of coffee stout sitting in my Fischer 22oz flip tops...

One of the bars near where I live started selling oatmeal stout. That stuff is great, and a decent lunch too. :)

[sirsloop]

i brew oatmeal stout too... another one of my favorites!!

thats definitly a bottle... looks like glass but could be plastic. Maybe a green beer bottle with a light beer in it, back lit. I wouldnt be suprised if that was homebrew, or maybe yeast you are storing from the look of it.

[Citizensmith]

Nope, not a bottle. That would have been too obvious after the beer conversation. And every item I post seems to be plastic.

[Citizensmith]

Oh, and the item was upside down when I took this shot.

[BradT0517]

a plastic device that says 12 oz.

[BearLeeAlive]

a plastic device that says 12 oz.
Nope, it looks like it says 787? or Z8Z?.
?=J maybe

[BearLeeAlive]

Maybe a model of a Boeing 787

[BearLeeAlive]

Or maybe ?282

[Citizensmith]

Not got it yet, but if you can figure out what the characters are it would be a huge clue as to what the item is.

[BradT0517]

are the figures upside down also

[aLFaDaRK]

I was thinking the characters were 787I or 7871

buut, lets say the first and third character can be 7, 2, or Z, and the last character is either 1, I, or L (not sure if those are correct, but what the hey), it can be any of these:

787I
7871
787L
782I
7821
782L
78ZI
78Z1
78ZL
287I
2871
287L
282I
2821
282L
28ZI
28Z1
28ZL
Z87I
Z871
Z87L
Z82I
Z821
Z82L
Z8ZI
Z8Z1
Z8ZL

Now...I shall try and interperet what these could mean...

and if they're correct at all...

[aLFaDaRK]

Golf Club?
Glasses?

That's all I've got -_-

[grumpyhaggis]

A teacup?

[jr#8]

ansi approved saftey glass's

[Citizensmith]

ansi approved saftey glass's

And when you have ansi approved safety glasses, the symbol that will appear on them to indicate that is Z87+.

Over to you jr#8.

http://www.notesfromtherivercity.com/Dump/macrostore/macro6reveal.jpg

The close up is the side shield on the right in the photo. You can just about make out the writing.

[BradT0517]

post a full pic please i dont see it

[aLFaDaRK]

bah, I thought glasses covered that - it was one of the things I googled

oh well, I don't have a macro to post anyway :P

[Citizensmith]

bah, I thought glasses covered that - it was one of the things I googled

oh well, I don't have a macro to post anyway :P

Oops sorry, I saw your long post working through combinations and missed the second post underneath it.

[BearLeeAlive]

And when you have ansi approved safety glasses, the symbol that will appear on them to indicate that is Z87+.
Ah, an American symbol, eh! Shoulda posted the CSA equivolent too. :lol:

[BradT0517]

Ah, an American symbol, eh! Shoulda posted the CSA equivolent too. :lol:

and would it have helped you anyway :lol:

[Citizensmith]

Ah, an American symbol, eh! Shoulda posted the CSA equivolent too. :lol:

True it is an american symbol, but I figured if anyone figured it out because of the characters they probably used google as the % of the US population that know the significance of glasses that say Z87+ is pretty small. :)

[BearLeeAlive]

True it is an american symbol, but I figured if anyone figured it out because of the characters they probably used google as the % of the US population that know the significance of glasses that say Z87+ is pretty small. :)
So what you are saying is you were just being plain nasty. ;) :lol:

[jr#8]

heres one, sorry for the delay.

[chansh]

A nut.

[StewartR]

A bathroom tap or something like that - the kind that has a porcelain top insert and a chrome steel body.

[chansh]

A bathroom tap or something like that - the kind that has a porcelain top insert and a chrome steel body.

You could be right.

[walla]

spark plug?

[jr#8]

spark plug?Yup CJ7
Walla ur up!

[walla]

Crikey. I don't really have a macro lens or anything like that, so I think I'll pass, and give the turn to someone who knows how to do it ;)

Mebbe next time...

[walla]

...or perhaps I'll give it a go after all...

http://merlin.zapto.org/pics/macro1.jpg

Hope it's not too obvious

[StewartR]

Some kind of device.

[Kadman]

A handlebar grip.

[FotOz]

Wouldn't be the finger grip on a pen?

[StewartR]

A handlebar grip.I think you've got it.

[FotOz]

Walla's on-line (somewhere). Maybe he'll let us know - soon?

[walla]

sorry guys for leaving you waiting...

it's smaller than a handlebar grip, bigger than the finger grip on a pen.

[sirsloop]

the grip on a small set of plyers?

[walla]

not plyers, but you guys have guessed correctly, it IS a grip...

If someone could be little more specific thought ;)

[DanteCaspian]

Looks like the end of a baton.

[walla]

nope, not a baton, but size&shape-wise we're getting there

[2manyPix]

nope, not a baton, but size&shape-wise we're getting there

Golf club?

[walla]

aye, you're up

http://merlin.zapto.org/pics/mailat.jpg

[2manyPix]

Nice, I haven't won anything in a while. ;)

Here's the one macro I've taken in the past year. It's not a very tight crop, so it may be a no-brainer for some of you:

http://claireandjoe.com/potn/macro-test.jpg

[aLFaDaRK]

looks like a flower

or maybe fabric

or cheese :D hehe

[Skrim17]

icing flower

[chansh]

Pages of a book.

[sirsloop]

noodles!!

[2manyPix]

Nope! Book, flower, cheese, noodles and fabric are all good guesses, but no.

This is fun!

Anyone else wanna take a stab at it?

[walla]

folded bedsheets, silk perhaps?

[Citizensmith]

An onion?

[2manyPix]

folded bedsheets, silk perhaps?

Good guess, but way off.

A hint: It is something organic.

[walla]

Fresh pasta? or was that already covered in:

noodles!!

[2manyPix]

Fresh pasta? or was that already covered in:

Not noodles or other pasta varieties. :)

Think organic...but not a flower or onion.

This is tougher than I thought it would be...helps that I know what the object(s) is/are.

Joe

[sirsloop]

cabbage? Looks like the cut end of a pressure cooked cabbage

or those premade crossiant roll sheets

[sirsloop]

fish gills?

[sirsloop]

perogies?

[SpiltPickle]

Albuquerque?

[StewartR]

A stack of thin pancakes like the ones you eat with crispy duck.

[DanteCaspian]

Asking for a hint here, is it organic or inorganic?

[walla]

Scroll up, and you'll find this:

A hint: It is something organic.

[cfpackerfan]

Albuquerque?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[2manyPix]

A stack of thin pancakes like the ones you eat with crispy duck.

Mmmmmmmmmm........crispy duck with rice pancakes. Nope. By organic I mean it grows from the ground (sometimes).

There's one hint. Another is: This image shows the underside of this/these object(s)...a side which we may not usually see.

[2manyPix]

Do you guys want me to post the answer today or should I wait til morning when our friends across the pond have a chance to guess?

[DanteCaspian]

Mushroom

[2manyPix]

Mushroom

Ding ding ding!

http://claireandjoe.com/potn/macro-large.jpg

Take it away, DC!

[BearLeeAlive]

Good guess, but way off.

A hint: It is something organic.

Asking for a hint here, is it organic or inorganic?
See above. ;)

[DanteCaspian]

ya, I know... sorry!

[DanteCaspian]

I pass.

[BearLeeAlive]

Good guess Dante. Now stun us with your macro wizardry.

C'mon, something simple, you can do it.

[Citizensmith]

Seeing as Dante passed, here is a nice easy one that looks somewhat similar to the last image.

http://www.notesfromtherivercity.com/Dump/macro7smallest.jpg

Someone will probably get this one first try. :)

[DanteCaspian]

A ribbon cable?

[jr#8]

violin bow

[BradT0517]

a mushroomic device

[SpiltPickle]

I'd say ribbon cable too, but the colors seem off... Some sort of leaf?

[Epluim]

You know, that looks REALLY familiar...
Is it alive?

[SpiltPickle]

You know, that looks REALLY familiar...
Is it alive?

ooo! ooo!!! mmmmm I'll let you guess first :)

[misspix]

a mushroomic device

ROFLMBO! :lol:

[Citizensmith]

I kind of wish it was a mushroomic device. I've never had one of those before.

Not mushroom, or anything alive. Not a ribbon cable. Not music related.

It would be considered a device.

The device in question has been featured on the hallowed thread before.

[SpiltPickle]

a lightsphere?

[BearLeeAlive]

A stack of paper cups

[BearLeeAlive]

A slinky
a vacuum hose

[Skrim17]

another crop perhaps?

[Citizensmith]

Nope, tis not a lightsphere, stack of cups, slinky nor a vacuum hose.

Yes, here is another crop.

http://www.notesfromtherivercity.com/Dump/macrostore/macro7small.jpg

[Citizensmith]

Oh, everyday item. Comes in a range of sizes. You'll no doubt have one in your home.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Looks like wicker.

[Citizensmith]

Maybe, but it isn't wicker.

The second shot is maybe 3 inches across.

[SpiltPickle]

a rug?

[FotOz]

I know - it's a roll of ---------

[Citizensmith]

Not a rug.

Considered more a tool than anything else.

[BearLeeAlive]

Cloth tape measure

[SpiltPickle]

A fan?

[SpiltPickle]

Hope someone gets this soon, I wanna go to sleep, but find myself riveted to the screen!!!

really really thick duct tape?

[Citizensmith]

Cloth tape measure

Not cloth, but close enough, it is a tape measure. Over to you Bearlee. :)

http://www.notesfromtherivercity.com/Dump/macrostore/macro7reveal.jpg

[SpiltPickle]

Not cloth, but close enough, it is a tape measure. Over to you Bearlee. :)



I guess I'm odd, but I don't have one of THOSE in my house :)

[Citizensmith]

Hope someone gets this soon, I wanna go to sleep,

Same here, BearLeeAlive saved me.

Funny, I thought this one was going to go really fast. Of course they are always a lot move obvious when you took the photo.

[Citizensmith]

I guess I'm odd, but I don't have one of THOSE in my house :)

OK, probably not a 250ft tape measure, but you must have a tape measure of some kind lying around. :)

[misspix]

OK, probably not a 250ft tape measure, but you must have a tape measure of some kind lying around. :)

Only when I don't need one. Kinda like scotch tape and nails :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

Try this one.

[Skrim17]

an orange do-hicky on your carpet.

[SpiltPickle]

something printined on orange foam... domke strap or something?

[BearLeeAlive]

an orange do-hicky on your carpet.
an orange device (or thingy) on a towel.

[BearLeeAlive]

something printined on orange foam... domke strap or something?
Not foam, is printed and is orange for sure, That is not a Domke anything.

[misspix]

Tis the tattooed flesh of a petrified orange :) Thingy.

[BradT0517]

It seems to me like a hard orange device that you would use by hitting something but doesnt resemble a hammer

[BradT0517]

a combing or brushing device

[BradT0517]

a device that you seem to use quite often or harshly

[BearLeeAlive]

Tis the tattooed flesh of a petrified orange :) Thingy.
Close, but not really. :lol:
It seems to me like a hard orange device that you would use by hitting something but doesnt resemble a hammer
Hard yes, you would kinda hit something with it
a combing or brushing device
Nope
a device that you seem to use quite often or harshly
Well, sometimes I do when I use it

[AirBrontosaurus]

A windshield ice scraper?

[BearLeeAlive]

A windshield ice scraper?
Nope, much smaller
