[Becky N]

Eggplant

[3Turner]

cake

[jr#8]

Pretzel or bread

[VGP]

A coffee roll or apple critter?

[SpiltPickle]

ok that's just gross.

But. I'd say it's a plant of some sort, as you can see veins on the right side...

Maybe some kind of yam, or tater?

I hope to god it's not skin....

[Thompsunshine]

ok that's just gross.

But. I'd say it's a plant of some sort, as you can see veins on the right side...

Yup. That would be gross!:shock:

[AirBrontosaurus]

Cinnamon role?

[cfpackerfan]

ummm....no. What's a ROUS? ???


Is there no one here addicted to the "Princess Bride" like I am? :p :lol:

ROUS.... Rodents Of Unusual Size. They can be found in the fire swamp. ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

Cook chicken or turkey.
donut?
Eggplant
cake
Pretzel or bread
A coffee roll or apple critter?
Maybe some kind of yam, or tater?
I hope to god it's not skin....
Cinnamon role?
No to all

It is organic
The image is about 3mm wide

[Citizensmith]

The image is about 3mm wide

Not on my screen it isn't. You must have a really small screen. Or one with amazingly high resolution.

Oh no wait, what you meant was......

[SpiltPickle]

Is there no one here addicted to the "Princess Bride" like I am? :p :lol:

ROUS.... Rodents Of Unusual Size. They can be found in the fire swamp. ;)

:) I'm glad someone knew what I meant.

[SpiltPickle]

larger crop!

[BearLeeAlive]

larger crop!

Man, you guys sure want it easy!!! :rolleyes:
I'm not usually this nice, but I will make an exception tonight. :lol:

[VGP]

A pecan?

[BearLeeAlive]

A pecan?
Not a pecan, but getting warmer

[Becky N]

Walnut?

[SpiltPickle]

ok it still looks gross, and I'm still at a loss... coffee bean? :)

[BearLeeAlive]

You got it Becky, good job. Just like Crissa, swooping in at the last minute for the kill. :lol:

[Becky N]

Ooo, and I just finished up shooting some macros, so here we go:

http://performancephoto.us/images/Beckysgallery/SMGG-IMG_1110-02.jpg

[BearLeeAlive]

Kids chain block.

[Becky N]

Nope

[VGP]

Kids toy, like a play phone?

[Becky N]

Not a toy

[BearLeeAlive]

protective cap

[Becky N]

I will have to say yes, but; to what?

[SpiltPickle]

film canister cap?

[VGP]

So its a cap...I was going to say the bottem on a medicine container, but the cap could be the same.

[Becky N]

film canister cap?

No - Not exclusive to photography

a medicine container, but the cap could be the same.

No

I will leave you with a larger crop...to ponder while I get ready for bed. Will check in one more time to see if you were able to guess:

http://performancephoto.us/images/Beckysgallery/SMGG-IMG_1110.jpg

No guesses during that time, I'm off to bed will return in about 6 hours.

[Thompsunshine]

As for that walnut. Perhaps there are just some things that shouldn't be photographed that close.:shock: eww

[BradT0517]

As for that walnut. Perhaps there are just some things that shouldn't be photographed that close.:shock: eww

we should get one of the eyes to twitch every so often

[BearLeeAlive]

As for that walnut. Perhaps there are just some things that shouldn't be photographed that close.:shock: eww
LOL, I don't know what you mean. :rolleyes: :lol: :lol:

[aLFaDaRK]

Looks like one of those freezable ice pack things, to put in a lunch or something

[cfpackerfan]

Jim, I know it's over and done with.... but I feel like I must argue.
I believe that was a pecan. Walnuts are a bit more.... wavery. LOL Are you SURE it was a walnut and not a pecan?? ;)
I feel as though I know this.... because I am alergic to walnuts (oh the horror) and not pecans.... and I would probably eat something that looked like that.
I don't think it would kill me. What do you think?

Note: let the outcome of this, in NO way affect the current game. I just have a small case of OCD that feels as though this must be resolved. Or, actually, a case of CDO... which is like OCD, but in proper alphabetical order like it should be.

[FotOz]

Ah - hello! Becky - why is your image just a little box with a 'X' in it? Am I missing something here? Hello?

[chansh]

It's from an ink carriage. It's the bit you take off before putting it into the printer. My canon ink carriage have something that look like that.

[Mike Bell]

I believe that was a pecan. Walnuts are a bit more.... wavery. LOL Are you SURE it was a walnut and not a pecan?? ;)


I agree, Cat. That IS a pecan.

Jim - get your nuts sorted out, man! :lol:

[Becky N]

Ah - hello! Becky - why is your image just a little box with a 'X' in it? Am I missing something here? Hello?

Something with our server, it happens with some but not others. Try refreshing, that usually takes care of it.

It's from an ink carriage. It's the bit you take off before putting it into the printer. My canon ink carriage have something that look like that.

Chansh, you are correct:

http://performancephoto.us/images/Beckysgallery/SMGG-IMG_1120.jpg

[StewartR]

It definitely was a pecan.

[BearLeeAlive]

That was a pecan, I lost my mind. Obviously my place is not in the kitchen........:lol:

[VGP]

Ya! :)

[BearLeeAlive]

Ya! :)
After the wee intermission post due to my lack of being able to identify my nuts, I would say that you should be posting the next macro as you guessed correct first. ;)

[VGP]

Yea, but CFPACKERFAN did say current game should not be affected and CHANSIH did win thiss round so he should go right?

But, FYI thanks to 3TURNER I do have one ready for when it's my turn.

[BearLeeAlive]

Cat is not my boss. <<ducking the throw>> :lol::lol:

I would say if you can get one up, go for it. Saigh is too mean anyway, not enough clues. ;) :lol:

Should Saigh beat you too it, we will carry on either way.

In the future I shall be sure to know what it is I am shooting before answering. :p

[cfpackerfan]

Cat is not my boss. <<ducking the throw>>

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/cfpackerfan/fryingpan1.gif
Don't talk back to me young man...go to your room! :p

In the future I shall be sure to know what it is I am shooting before answering. :p
Might be a good idea. :lol: :lol:

Didn't we have a poster here once (long ling time ago) that posted a shot, then openly admited (s)he had no idea what it was? LOL I seem to remember something like that.
Pecans and Walnuts are easily mixed up ;)

[VGP]

Hahaha...to funny. Macro was so good it tricked himself...hahaha

Well to continue on...I hope i dont step on any toes...my first attempt at a macro and an easy one I might add:



http://www.vgpinc.com/pictures/potn/macro1.jpg

[cfpackerfan]

That's a good one, and yes, 'tis easy. ;) But I'm going to resist the urge to post my guess.
I'm still sulking about not being Jim's boss.

:p :p :lol: :lol:

[Sir Tony]

Red flower pedal.

[VGP]

Hehehe CFPACKERFAN, I told you it was...:D

Since it is so easy I will be more specific in the answer. Your close Sir Tony :lol:

[StewartR]

It's not a pedal at all. It's a petal of some sort. I'll say a rose.

[VGP]

StewartR you are correct! A dried out rose it is :D

http://www.vgpinc.com/pictures/potn/rose.jpg

Awww...I just realized I didnt upload the picture. I am sorry, but I will post it up after work. ( Edited - Picture is up :lol: )

[BearLeeAlive]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/cfpackerfan/fryingpan1.gif
Don't talk back to me young man...go to your room! :p
Thanks for the young man reference Cat, now I feel bad for the back talk. ;) :lol:
I'm still sulking about not being Jim's boss.
Ok, ok, you da boss Cat, you da boss. ;) :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

Thank you for acknowledging that, Jim.
Now.... I want a shrubbery! :lol:

[StewartR]

OK, this should be an easy one too.

[Citizensmith]

Ivy

[BearLeeAlive]

Thank you for acknowledging that, Jim.
Now.... I want a shrubbery! :lol:
O Queen of POTN, you are just and fair, we will return with a
shrubbery. (But you will have to wait until my next chance to post a Super Macro) ;)

[StewartR]

Not ivy.

PS Sorry it's a bit OOF - I really ought to use a tripod to ensure that the focus is where I want it to be...

[BearLeeAlive]

Sweet Pea Vines

[thekid24]

vines to
pumpkins
grapes

[Miniflash]

Is it a flower stem?

[SpiltPickle]

monkey/lizard tail wrapped around a branch.....


in albuquerque?

[Broncosaurus]

Morning Glory?

[StewartR]

Sweet Pea VinesNo.vines to
pumpkins
grapesNo.Is it a flower stem?No.
monkey/lizard tail wrapped around a branch.....
in albuquerque?No. But I think you need help.
Morning Glory?No.

It looks like we could go on all night like this. Why did nobody just say "some sort of climbing plant"?

OK, whoever identifies it first from the larger shot is the winner. (Clue: this photo was taken in my garden, in southern England, yesterday.) I won't be here for 13 hours or so now, so the winner will have to be self-declared or agreed by consensus. See you later.

[StewartR]

PS Does this count as a shrubbery?

[cfpackerfan]

LOL.... most definitely a shrubbery. :p Well done Sir Knight

[SpiltPickle]

its a vine!

[Epluim]

specifically poison ivy?

[jr#8]

Leaves of 3
let them be

[BearLeeAlive]

hops, but I think they have a single leaf with 3 points.

[Epluim]

http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/crops/facts/ontweeds/poison_ivy.jpg
That's poison ivy...

[chansh]

I've got that orange thing right and you lot jumped in. can i post the next one?

[BearLeeAlive]

I've got that orange thing right and you lot jumped in. can i post the next one?
I'd say yes, but you'd better check with Cat first, I don't wanna be in big trouble with her. :lol: :lol:

[chansh]

she's off-line. never mind i'm goingto bed soon.

[SpiltPickle]

we need a law. If you're going to be within 4 hours of posting, you can't go to bed. You must stay up till the macro is guessed :)

[cfpackerfan]

I'd say yes, but you'd better check with Cat first, I don't wanna be in big trouble with her. :lol: :lol:

:p :p :p :p :p

[chansh]

Who's going to pass the law. I'm so temped to post but I am going to bed this time. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[BearLeeAlive]

Who's going to pass the law. I'm so temped to post but I am going to bed this time. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Post one in the morning Saigh if nothing is up. I'm really not scared of Cat you know, unless of course she can run faster than me. :p

[VGP]

So are we going to get a new one or wait till the morning?

Oh by the way, I uploaded the Dried up Rose if you guys still want to see it. Here is the link to my original post:

http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2256496&postcount=10850

;)

[cfpackerfan]

I'm really not scared of Cat you know, unless of course she can run faster than me. :p

Well, SpiltPickle guessed "vine" which it so very clearly IS. ;)

And Jim.... I don't run very fast, but I do a mean 'evil eye' that will stop you in your tracks.

[SpiltPickle]

hmmmmm
I could post a easy one real quick, as I will be going to bed in 4 hours :)

[SpiltPickle]

very very common amongst us.

[SpiltPickle]

bueller?

[askjeeves]

some kind of metallic device... dealing with photography maybe?

[cfpackerfan]

LOL.... did you see how we were all biting at the bit, but as soon as one gets posted we all head for the hills??
:lol:
Im going to say... metallic spongey thingie.

Hehe, it's nature. Oh well.

Um, yes metal and photography related.

No not spongey.

[BearLeeAlive]

knurling on a lever, maybe for a tripod

[cfpackerfan]

what is knurling?

[SpiltPickle]

knurling on a lever, maybe for a tripod

Told ya it'd be easy.

From my 3021

[cfpackerfan]

Nevermind. I can google. Knurling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knurling)
I honestly have never heard that word before. LOL

[SpiltPickle]

knurling you know, it's that sport in the olympics with the big dohickys with the handle on them and the people sweeping the ice.

Oh wait, that's curling...

I think you see k-nurling on k-nobs? :)

[cfpackerfan]

ROFL

[BearLeeAlive]

Cat, you haven't lived (or taken shop class) :lol:

I will have a pic up in a moment and if nobody gets it before Chansh gets back on, I will give it to him.

[cfpackerfan]

I was homeschooled. :p My mom wasn't the best shop teacher. What can I say. :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

OK, try this one.

124138

[Citizensmith]

OK, thats just gross.

It's a half digested one of whatever the last food you posted was. :)

[webcrawlur]

OK, thats just gross.

It's a half digested one of whatever the last food you posted was. :)


I agree,


Jerky...;)

[Becky N]

Its the Return of the Blob!

[BearLeeAlive]

Mmmmmm, Yummy.

[askjeeves]

jelly?

[BearLeeAlive]

jelly?
Nope

[SpiltPickle]

prune

[BearLeeAlive]

prune
Cha baby, you got it!

124142

[cfpackerfan]

ROFL! The first thing I thought, was, ewww gross, that looks like a prune.
And the second thing I thought.... was, Jim likes to post gross pictures. :lol: :lol:

[FotOz]

Nevermind. I can google. Knurling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knurling)
I honestly have never heard that word before. LOL
All I can say Cat, is that you're obviously only a wood worker.
Any metal worker worth his (or her) salt knows what knurling is. :D

[Thompsunshine]

Good heavens Bearly! Have you run out of things to photograph or are you on some sort of diet and constantly trawling the kitchen?

[Nzshrimper]

bloody hell its been 5 hours since the last macro was guessed,, and yet we don't have any new picture to ponder with.. Who's turn is it.. :p

[StewartR]

It's SpiltPickle's turn, or maybe chansh if he's still miffed about losing his turn after he guessed the orange thing (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2255431&postcount=10837).

Meanwhile for the sake of completeness, the "shrubbery" I posted yesterday was a Clematis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clematis). Obviously not many botanists around here...

[Mike Bell]

Who's going to pass the law. I'm so temped to post but I am going to bed this time. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I tried suggesting some "rules of SMGG" a few months back and the Anarchy Party (led by Bearly) told me to stop being so anal. I sulked for weeks! :cry:

bloody hell its been 5 hours since the last macro was guessed,, and yet we don't have any new picture to ponder with.. Who's turn is it.. :p
BL****Y good question! I'm lost! Anarchy rules! :rolleyes:

It's SpiltPickle's turn, or maybe chansh if he's still miffed about losing his turn after he guessed the orange thing (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2255431&postcount=10837)....
C'mon SpiltPickle and Chansh! The race is on! :lol:

[jr#8]

We've waited alot longer sometimes over 24 hrs

[Mike Bell]

We've waited alot longer sometimes over 24 hrs

That was in the bad old days! :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

Good heavens Bearly! Have you run out of things to photograph or are you on some sort of diet and constantly trawling the kitchen?
Lots of neat stuff in there.
I tried suggesting some "rules of SMGG" a few months back and the Anarchy Party (led by Bearly) told me to stop being so anal. I sulked for weeks! :cry:
Suck it up princess. :lol:
Actually, the problem with too many rules is it would stop some people from participating. Some are interested but not real keen it seems. I do wish participants would post a macro soon after their correct guess and monitor a posted macro regularily when others are guessing, but it seems some people like to sleep (highly overated).

This confusion about who is to post next is all my fault. It seems I can't tell my nuts apart. ;) :lol:

But, I did my part yesterday posting 2 macros. :cool:

[VGP]

If I dont have one ready can I still continue guessing? I am trying to get a few lined up, but currently I am at work.

[StewartR]

If I dont have one ready can I still continue guessing? I am trying to get a few lined up, but currently I am at work.Yes you can. Then if you win one, you need to let people know that you don't have anything to post, and invite someone else to post instead of you.

[SpiltPickle]

since it was techniclylylaylayl Chansh's turn, I was waiting. but I could go snap one real quick...

[BearLeeAlive]

Yes you can. Then if you win one, you need to let people know that you don't have anything to post, and invite someone else to post instead of you.
This has been allowed, though the whole idea of this thread was to have the guesser post the next macro. But, we are an easy bunch.

[SpiltPickle]

If I dont have one ready can I still continue guessing? I am trying to get a few lined up, but currently I am at work.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! THIS IS STICKLY FORBIDDEN!!!!
IF YOU WERE TO HAVE THE AUDACITY TO EVEN ATTEMPT THIS UNFORGIVEABLE SIN ALL OF CREATION WILL UNRAVEL AND THE HEAVENS WILL COLLIDE IN TO EARTH SENDING ALL THE INHABITANTS IN TO ANOTHER PLANE OF EXISTANCE.... WHERE ALL THERE IS IS......
I CAN'T BARE TO THINK ABOUT IT...



JELLO!!!!!!!!!!





Ok, hehe Just kidding. I've been guilty of that myself :) Sometimes you're just like 'ooo oo I know that one!' and can't help yourself :)

[philbyuk]

well is someone gonna kick start this one or are we doomed to view nothingness.lol

[VGP]

:) Thanks everyone! I like to play, but I usually dont get it right, but after today I hope to some some ready and on standby just in case I do win. SPILT, you almost had me going, but we cool :cool: , thanks again!

Lets Play ball! :D

[BearLeeAlive]

I always plan on building a reserve of macros to use, but all good intentions aside, I usually end up shooting it at the moment. It me only takes 5-10 minutes to shoot and get something up. I do have the advantage of being the company owner and having a home office though. :lol:

[SpiltPickle]

I rarely have em 'built up'

I have an incredible job. I'm the head geek at my work, sooo :)

okok, lemme go find something interesting yet recoginzable.

[chansh]

I'll post very soon. Give me 15 mins

[chansh]

The game starts again.

[chansh]

The game starts again.


That's a clue.

[BearLeeAlive]

Card Shuffler

[chansh]

No.

Sometime 2 pics is better than one.(could this be another hint)


Bigger crop later

[thekid24]

video game?

[chansh]

Yes, but what is it?

Bigger crop anyone?

[VGP]

With the hints I would say the original Nintendo unit.

[chansh]

Getting there.

Sort of .........anarchy, but with aspirations to a form of self-disciplined utopian order found only in the most civilised societies......... mmmmm! :confused:

Dream on, Jim! :lol:

[Matoch]

Whatever the new gameboy device is. Nintendo DS?

James

[BearLeeAlive]

Sort of .........anarchy, but with aspirations to a form of self-disciplined utopian order found only in the most civilised societies......... mmmmm! :confused:

Dream on, Jim! :lol:
A dreamlike state of utopia is where I maintain my headspace a lot of the time anyway (and without drugs I might add;)). :lol:

Are you suggesting this forum is not a form civilised society.
Hmmmm......I think you just might be right then. :lol:

[chansh]

Who every finish the following sentance wins.

It's not the DS but it's the back of a DS ----.

[askjeeves]

woohoo mine is coming up soon.

[askjeeves]

can't think of a clue just yet.

[Rumjungle]

Man, I must be getting old. I've never heard of or seen a Nintendo DS before. I think it's time to move on from the Apple II and Colecovision.:p

[Rumjungle]

PDA?

[Skrim17]

I tried reversing my 50 and taking shots for SMGG but it isn't any closer than I can get with the tammy.

[Mike Bell]

Is it the door where you put the film in ........ in a very old camera?

[askjeeves]

PDA?

nope.

many of you probably have one of these to speed things up. (not the best clue, sorry)

[askjeeves]

Is it the door where you put the film in ........ in a very old camera?

nope. only camera i have is my rebel xt. but you could say that "film" goes into it.

[aLFaDaRK]

external harddrive, or memory card of some sort?

dunno :/

[chansh]

the "to back" button of a cell phone.

[askjeeves]

external harddrive, or memory card of some sort?
