The super macro guessing game

[chansh]

DO....g......

Dog s**t scooper. :)

[SpiltPickle]

box cutter?

[Michael]

Guitar Pick??

Im off to work now, back in 3hrs.

[Epluim]

I was going to say Frisbee but I guess that's not smaller than a windshield scraper.

[Nzshrimper]

Guitar Pick??

Im off to work now, back in 3hrs.
i was going down that line of thought too...

[BearLeeAlive]

Guitar Pick??

Im off to work now, back in 3hrs.

Ya baby, you got it!!! :lol:

120153

[StewartR]

Im off to work now, back in 3hrs.It's a hard life.

[aLFaDaRK]

BAH, I should have guessed :P

I was thinking either a frisbee or guitar pick but decided it wouldn't be those -_-

[Mike Bell]

Im off to work now, back in 3hrs.

It's a hard life.

It's been 9 hours now. Maybe he's been told those 3 hour shifts are a thing of the past! :lol:

[DanteCaspian]

Do we wait for Sinkrate, or should someone step in?

[Citizensmith]

I've got one more of the 3 I shot yesterday. I'll drop it in to keep things a movin'

[DanteCaspian]

I'll drop it in to keep things a movin'

I never know if such things are hints now!:lol:

[Citizensmith]

I never know if such things are hints now!:lol:

Nope, no clues just yet.

[sirsloop]

looks like blue leather... possibly shoes

[BradT0517]

a device

[DanteCaspian]

What is with all the "a device" statements?

[Citizensmith]

Not shoes, not something I'd consider a device.

Is Device the new Thingy?

[Pete]

Ummm... football body-armour?

[Citizensmith]

Ummm... football body-armour?

As your a Brit I'll assume you are talking about shin guards. Or do you mean American Football Armour? :)

Either way, nope, its not a sporty thing.

[BearLeeAlive]

Is Device the new Thingy?
It's the he-man version.

[BradT0517]

It's the he-man version.

Bearlee explains it quite well.

[Pete]

Either way, nope, its not a sporty thing.

In the interests of worldwide harmony, I can sometimes talk in terms that Americans can understand. Doesn't mean I'll ever spell American though!! ;)

[Becky N]

Adjustment strap? Perhaps for your hard hat?

[DanteCaspian]

Am I the only one having a hard time with grasping the perspective on this one? Is the thing flat?

[FotOz]

Closest thing I can get is the sole plate of an iron, but the leathery bit on the left has me stumped. What's the scale of the shot? I need to get one of these so I can post MY macro/micro shot.

[FotOz]

Hello - hello! ? ? Damn it's gone quiet. I've just realised that it's just after noon here in Oz and that means you lot have gone to bed on the other side of the world leaving me all alone with this post. Because the author of the latest puzzle also appears to have gone to the land of nod and isn't giving any clues - I've left you an easy one for when y'all wake up. I'll look in on it now and then. I'm busy outside in the workshop building the superstructure for my new carport. When my 2IC isn't watching I'll slip back in and check it. Sorry if I've jumped in, out of line - couldn't help myself. ;)

[Skrim17]

Steve we need to guess the last macro before another gets put up or it gets mighty donfusing. whoever guesses correctly gets to post next.

[Citizensmith]

Adjustment strap? Perhaps for your hard hat?

I thought taking a macro of something I'm wearing in my avatar may be a little obvious. It's also on my desk in the shot of the last macro I did.

Over to you Becky

http://www.notesfromtherivercity.com/Dump/macrostore/macro8reveal.jpg

[Citizensmith]

Or maybe over to Fotoz? Becky, you want it or shall we do the new new one?

[Becky N]

Ooo, and I have one ready for a change, but my eyelids are slamm'n so hopefully this will go quick:

http://performancephoto.us/images/Beckysgallery/IMG_0157.jpg

[Citizensmith]

Looks like a sea urchin or something? Not really in shape but in texture.

[misspix]

Beer. Yum :)

[Becky N]

Nope & Nope...it is organic, however.

[sirsloop]

its a flower...

[FotOz]

Steve we need to guess the last macro before another gets put up or it gets mighty donfusing. whoever guesses correctly gets to post next.

I did apologise in my post. It worked though - everybody's out of bed. :D
I'll just sit here in the corner and do my penance. :cry:

[Becky N]

Not a flower, anymore

Part of something that will be yummy soon

Seasonal

[thekid24]

a pumpkin

[Michael]

Sorry about that guys. Totally forgot about my post in here! Thanks for keeping it rollin' for me.

Mike

[FotOz]

Wouldn't be part of a dried out corn husk by any chance?

[DanteCaspian]

a pumpkin

I second that.

[Matoch]

I second that.

I third that because it's what I thought the second I saw it.

James

[Thompsunshine]

Looks like a cactus blossom to me. :-)

[AirBrontosaurus]

yeah, it looks like a pumpkin or a gourd

[FotOz]

Well, Beck. Given your avatar mentions corn and soy beans (it ain't a soy bean), and you say it's seasonal and yummy soon I still tend to lean towards corn - or what's left of it. Any more clues?

[Broncosaurus]

Not quite ripe green cheese?

[Nzshrimper]

saffron

[Becky N]

Take it Kid24, and it will be yummy cause I make my pumpkin pie from scratch, using real pumkin...

[thekid24]

ok im new how exactly do i post a photo?

[Citizensmith]

One of two ways.

Down the bottom of the quick reply part is a button that says Go Advanced. Hit that and then the reply window will offer you some extra controls. One is Manage Attachments. Hit this and it will give you a small window that will let you browse for a file on your computer and upload it to PotN. The file needs to be smaller than 800x800 pixels, and less than 100k in file size.

Or,

If you can get your photos on the web somewhere you can use the image link (the yellow icon with the mountain) to add the image that way. Because you are hosting the image yourself there are no restrictions on image or file size. Aside from a huge image won't display in the forum very well, and a huge file size make the poor souls still on dial up really sad.

[thekid24]

thank you kindly

[thekid24]

this was taken with my newly departed Powershot S3

[Nzshrimper]

a motorbike engine part.

[Nzshrimper]

if not that then maybe a CPU cooler...

[Citizensmith]

A knife sharpener?

[sirsloop]

bottle opener

[thekid24]

Nope to all uv'em

[DanteCaspian]

Inside an instrument-- piano.

[thekid24]

[thekid24]

most of ya have similar ideas,you all must flock together....HINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nzshrimper]

sheep wool brush...

[Epluim]

Looks a little like a trimmer or razor...

[FotOz]

Good one Nzshrimper. Only a Kiwi (from the land of 40,000,000 sheep) would come up with that one. I was over there not long ago and I think I saw every one of them. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out the macro.

[webcrawlur]

Perhaps a larger crop?;)

[thekid24]

:lol: no so far but heres the larger crop....kinda cool ive stumped yall so far...

[Nzshrimper]

electric guitar..

[Nzshrimper]

bhaaaahhhh !! me and my Velcro gloves...

[SpiltPickle]

cooling fins?

[Epluim]

It looks magnified... is there a drop of water sitting on it?

[thekid24]

Yes Epluim it does have a waterdrop sitting on it.Good eye.But even tho thats part of it,i think ill hold out on telling just a lil bit longer

[jr#8]

can you give us a hint

[chansh]

A drop of water on a vinyl record.

edit: I know I'm wrong because there's no pits.

[thekid24]

well i know this will give it a way and i kinda dont want to but earlier i had said that all the guesses were similar...and i then added you all must flock together.and no no vinyl

[Becky N]

Egg slicer

[SpiltPickle]

feather from a duck?

[thekid24]

yeah.Spiltpickle got it.waterdrop on a feather.

[Epluim]

Very nicely done!

[SpiltPickle]

woohoo, now let me find a macro shot...

[SpiltPickle]

Ok, this will probably be too easy, but only one I have right now that sorta works.

[Epluim]

It's a plant of some sort...Maybe a fern or something.

[Epluim]

Or it could be a caterpillar's tummy....

[jr#8]

some sort of seed pod or bud with mold on it

[DanteCaspian]

If it was not for the colour, my guess would be partially popped corn.

[aLFaDaRK]

looks like a cactus to me...hmmmm

[AirBrontosaurus]

Looks like an ugly fruit (I mean the actual fruit called an "ugly fruit")

[Matoch]

I think it's a peice of fruit I just have no idea what it's called.

James

[thekid24]

is it a pickle?lol

[Epluim]

is it the outside of a squash?

[BradT0517]

Hmm only thing I can see is olive dish

[SpiltPickle]

hehe, very close, it is a plant...
No it's not edible.
You might refer to it as a beta testing plant....

[Citizensmith]

A triffid?

[DanteCaspian]

A triffid?

:lol:HAHAHAHA!:lol:

[thekid24]

[sirsloop]

Wow...
People commonly put these in vases with a fish in it.

[jr#8]

[chansh]

[BearLeeAlive]

[thomascanty]

Is the phantom mod reading this thread? Jim needs to be titled "Conehead Clown"...

[BearLeeAlive]

Is the phantom mod reading this thread? Jim needs to be titled "Conehead Clown"...
Hush now fool........:lol:

[Mike Bell]

Wow...

I thought that sounded just plain crazy ........... then I Googled .............. and .......sure enough ........... somebody actually sells such a thing! http://www.gardengate.org/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=AFGGFI&Category_Code=BF
[Trouble is - the plant isn't named so I am no closer to the answer! :cry: ]

Woohoo! I did the 10,000th post in the SMGG! Do I get a prize?

[SpiltPickle]

wow, I never thought it'd be this hard....

ACtually the plant in the bowls in that link looks different...

Another hint:

"Can't we all just get along?"

[thekid24]

The rodney king plant?lol

[BearLeeAlive]

"Can't we all just get along?"
I know thinks likely makes great sense to you. But me, I am even more confused. :rolleyes: :lol:

(my mind is shot today) :p

[MagicallyDelicious]

I thought it looks like a peace lily stamen.

but i dont think people put them in with fish :S

so im clueless!

[SpiltPickle]

I thought it looks like a peace lily stamen.

but i dont think people put them in with fish :S

so im clueless!

Actually, you're right. It's a peace lilly!

And believe it or not, people do.. this one was sitting outside my office in someone's cubicle :)

Your turn MagicallyDelicious!

[BearLeeAlive]

Good one Sarah, I haven't even heard of a peace lilly before.

[Citizensmith]

On the subject of fish, the woman in the cube across from mine got in to work this morning to discover her beta crusted on to the carpet. There was a nice ocean scene stuck on the back of the tank so we decided the beta probably jumped thinking it was going to make it into the deep blue. It's last words were "Well this sucks".

Strangely she didn't find this as funny as we all thought it was.

[SpiltPickle]

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again.

[Citizensmith]

Yeah how many time was it that Arthur had inadvertantly lead to their death. :)

[Matoch]

Well I never would have guessed that one. I like the picture though.

James

[FotOz]

C'mon Sarah. I'm going blue in the face holding my breath - waiting for your contribution. PS - nice little website.

[DanteCaspian]

This thread has become like a drug... and I am going through withdrawls.

[Thompsunshine]

Can someone please pass me that dang chair leg?

[DanteCaspian]

Okay, how about 4 more hours, and someonelse posts?

[SpiltPickle]

yeah give her a chance to get out of work :)

[sirsloop]

:)

it looks like a smiley face.... could be the narrow end of a twinkie though :rolleyes:

OK... next one!

[MagicallyDelicious]

Actually, you're right. It's a peace lilly!

And believe it or not, people do.. this one was sitting outside my office in someone's cubicle :)

Your turn MagicallyDelicious!

Oh my! I never get these things right!

LOL...and didnt know the rules of this game either! So if i get it right i post next! lol

Ill get my camera out now - gimme 10 mins to find something!! :)

[MagicallyDelicious]

C'mon Sarah. I'm going blue in the face holding my breath - waiting for your contribution. PS - nice little website.

I am I am! I didnt know I was meant to post!!

haha!

[BearLeeAlive]

LOL...and didnt know the rules of this game either! So if i get it right i post next! lol
That's basically the rules in a nutshell Sarah.

I had PM'd you because I though Dante might lose it if he did not get his SMGG fix. :lol:

[MagicallyDelicious]

OK just a quick snap!

Lighting aint good at night! lol

Do I need to give a clue or anything?

[thekid24]

is it a decor type of thing?

[MagicallyDelicious]

is it a decor type of thing?

Along the right lines. Decor for something.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Candle holder?

[sirsloop]

lamp? pitcher?

[MagicallyDelicious]

Candle holder?


NO. Ice cold :)

[MagicallyDelicious]

lamp? pitcher?

Nothing like that.

[askjeeves]

looks to me like one of those disguises with a fake pair of glasses and a nose.

[MagicallyDelicious]

looks to me like one of those disguises with a fake pair of glasses and a nose.

Your turn Jeeves!

[askjeeves]

woohoo. I never thought i'd get one of these right! Someone please take my turn though. I don't have any pics I can use, and should be studying for an exam now!

[FotOz]

Thanks Jeeves,
I'll drag my 'intrusion' into the scheme up for you.

[MagicallyDelicious]

erm does a screw go into it?

LOL

[SpiltPickle]

a potato peeler?

[sirsloop]

a spring.... like one of the ones that spring rotationally

[FotOz]

We're around the right area. Not for a screw. Too small to peel potatoes. No compression for a spring. Keep guessing.

[FotOz]

Shot is about 1/2 inch wide.

[SpiltPickle]

it's something you screw things in to

[FotOz]

Now you're on the right track. (No - that's not a cryptic clue!)

[MagicallyDelicious]

Im really confused FotOz....I know ive seen it/something like it before but my head hurts looking at it lol!

[FotOz]

You don't know how close you were with your first hit. I'll put it down to wrong terminology. I need you to be exact!

[MagicallyDelicious]

wind something into it?

Like with a handle?

[FotOz]

No. Remember, what you are looking at is about 1/2 inch wide. These come in varying sizes from micro-size to damned big. This is a little bigger than the average. But yes, you can 'wind something into it' or - - ?

[Mike Bell]

Nut?
(of the nuts and bolts type!)

[FotOz]

Go Mike. Well done. In fact I'm using about 200 of these suckers this week in a building project. Lot smaller though for me. This dud is a 1" diameter bolt with nut (subject of shot) attached.

[Mike Bell]

Go Mike.

I'm going, I'm going ...... here I go! :D

http://static.flickr.com/118/285050591_b1d58c8b64_o.jpg

[MagicallyDelicious]

i knew it was that.

grrr damn my brain

[thekid24]

a lock latch

[BearLeeAlive]

Some type of switching device that opens a circuit when depressed.

[Mike Bell]

a lock latch
nope

Some type of switching device that opens a circuit when depressed.
OMG, Jim! What have you done to yourself? Or is that what advanced SMGGitis does to people? Cripes! :lol:

Anyway ..... your analysis is sound and correct in every detail ............. but it does not reveal the precise identity of said 'device'. Go to the back of the class! :(

CLUE 1: Without this your hobby would lose all its power to please!

[BradT0517]

hmm or a magnetic device

[BradT0517]

a sensor
