The super macro guessing game

[R32Bum]

Its a tounge, If I win someone take my turn as I also am going to bed

[MattyB]

that swede is really, really, sunburnt.

[Spirit]

ACK!!! I have NO idea what that could POSSIBLY be. Mind you "tongue" threw me, and now I can't think of anything else.

I too vote tongue. I also vote bedtime. LOL

G'night all. Good luck, R32Bum!

Edit: OH! Is it the inside of your bunny's ear?

[MattyB]

Genital herpies?

EW! sorry :(

[CyberPet]

Your under-lip? But it could also be one of those sugar covered candies that you sucked off some of it to let it melt... I only know the name of those in swedish tho. :D

[DanStephens]

Its a tounge, If I win someone take my turn as I also am going to bed

Yep, definately too easy :P

[DanStephens]

Ok, yeah, my tongue looks REALLY REALLY gross in that picture. Promise its not that gross in real life :confused:.

[fotogeek]

K.

[roanjohn]

asparagus!!!

Ro1

[Boutty]

Bitter lemon ?

[fotogeek]

Bitter lemon ?

Is that like a lime?

No on both.

[Boutty]

Is that like a lime?

No on both.

A kind of lemon you can find in Chinese grocery shop?

[jforget1]

A lizard of some sort.

[roanjohn]

spider legs Ro1

[roanjohn]

Bitter lemon ?

Did u mean bitter melon??

Ro1

[Boutty]

Did u mean bitter melon??

Ro1

Oop! yeah my poor spelling... http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif

[fotogeek]

jforget1 gets it.

[Boutty]

Wow! It's a 'live' object. I would never guess that right. Well done jforget1.

[technology_guy]

Lizard skin or part of a turtles foot?

BTW: This is a cool idea. Would it make sense to start a new thread when a new pic is posted? It's gonna be hard to follow this in a year when there are 100 gazilling replies in one thread...

[technology_guy]

Ack! The last posting when I started to post was the guess of a bitter lemon. How'd the rest of these posts get in there???

[Boutty]

Ack! The last posting when I started to post was the guess of a bitter lemon. How'd the rest of these posts get in there???

Hehehe... You need to press 'F5' to refresh. http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

[technology_guy]

Doh! <make note about a pause to refresh...>

[jforget1]

Cool third winning guess so far, but I am at work and will pass it along to the next person who wants a shot at stumping the group.

[jforget1]

By the way fotogeek, cool looking lizard.

[Boutty]

I got one.

[fotogeek]

Thnx. He's been at my house since I bought it over a year ago. He mainly pops up in the summer, but he seems to like it there.

Paper Money?

[Boutty]

It's paper yes. But NOT a money.

[roanjohn]

RING??

Ro1

[Boutty]

I'm going to bed in 20 mins.

Here's the 2nd clue... http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/tongue3.gif

[Boutty]

RING??

Ro1

Ring paper? Nop... http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

[fotogeek]

Okay... do you have to live in Australia to know this?

[technology_guy]

I hope it's not a tag removed from a King matress. I hear you can get arrested for that...

[Boutty]

It went to to next page already?!?http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_cry.gif

fotogeek, it's universal I think !?!

technology_guy, wrong.

3rd clue. http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif Sorry about the size.

[technology_guy]

tampons or toilet paper?

[Boutty]

ZZZZZ... I have extended my spleep time to another 30 mins folks.

4th clue. I think IT was introduced by the Bristish empire ????

[Boutty]

tampons or toilet paper?
It does look like it isn't it. No.

[Boutty]

Okay... do you have to live in Australia to know this?
It's American. Just checked.

5th clue. Gee I am a softy.

[technology_guy]

smokes

[Boutty]

Yay! It's technology_guy's turn.


PS. That 'F5' key comes in handy right ?!? Well done.

[technology_guy]

Softie???

[Boutty]

Alan, are you going to post a photo ?!? I'm hitting the sack now. Have fun http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

[technology_guy]

This might be too easy...

[RMc]

pizza

[roanjohn]

I'll be more specific.........sausage pizza.

Ro1

[nitsch]

Pepperami pizza, I can see what looks like a bit of onion too. It's making me hungry now! :D

[technology_guy]

RMC guessed it.

It was a sausage, onion, bacon, and olive pizza fresh from Papa John's pizza.
I guess I shouldn't have posted it this close to lunchtime EST :)

[RMc]

Here's another.
I know everybody says it, but this one should really be easy.

[chemicalbro]

an apple

[pcasciola]

Tomato?

[chemicalbro]

I gotta go to work soon so if i'm right....somebody else jump in.......... ttfn

[jforget1]

Top of a lemon

[RMc]

an apple

chemicalbro got it.

Sorry it took so long to get back at it.

chemicalbro says someone else needs to jump in.

Come up with a good one.

[RMc]

Wow. I've come home from work and nobody has posted another picture.
I have had one ready I've been wanting to post.
Here goes.

[4nR]

a part of a hole puncher

[RMc]

nope

[fotogeek]

It reminds me of the bottom of my telescope, where it attaches to the tripod head.

[Boutty]

A device to cut something?

[RMc]

Nothing to do with a telescope or tripod.

It doesn't cut anything.
It does however, have something to do with something that has been cut.
Don't put much thought in that hint though. It won't help you figure out what it is. That hint only makes sense if you know what it is.

[RMc]

Here is a pretty good hint.

It may still be useful today for some old diehards, but it is just about obsolete anymore.

[Boutty]

Printing press?

[RockOne]

A woodworking plane ?

[CyberDyneSystems]

Part of an enlarger ?

[RMc]

Maybe this will help.

[Boutty]

Binder?

[chemicalbro]

part of a slide/negative cutter (or whatever you call those)

[Boutty]

An inserter?

[RMc]

Maybe I picked something from the Way-Back machine and most of the younger folks here aren't going to get it. Everybody on Abbey Road had one of these. They started fading away about the time Frampton came alive.

[Boutty]

Turn table? (Record player)

[RockOne]

Is it the stylus arm off a stero turntable ??

[RMc]

It is an instrument for reproducing sounds by means of the vibration of a stylus or needle following a spiral groove on a revolving disc.

I had about forgotten the term stylus. I had to look it up. I had phonograph needle on my mind.

Boutty was so close. I know they had the right thing in mind, but RockOne was dead-on.

Was it the Abbey Road/Frampton hint that helped you out?

RockOne should be up.

[Boutty]

Splicing tool for magnetic tape.

[RockOne]

I'll pass it to Boutty. I'm off now. That was a good one though ! And yes the musical clues helped - I had actually been thinking along them lines but was thinking at a different scale..looked too big !!

[Boutty]

I don't have any photo with me now. Someone can jump in. ;)

[Bernt-Inge]

Jumping in ;) Here we go :

[chemicalbro]

the end of a telescopic pointer?

[RyanD]

Unlikely, but a pen?

[Bernt-Inge]

Unlikely, but a pen?

damn :p should have a closer shot on that one ;) Flanders you are up. More of the pen :

[RyanD]

Bah, I don't have any macro shots on hand...I'll have to pass :D

[elr]

I have a ready one here.... i can post if Flanders let me... :)

[RyanD]

It's all yours elr :D

[elr]

Thanks! Here goes......

[Boutty]

Okay, let me have a go... Is it cookware?

[elr]

Nope... it's not an egg yolk in there... ;)

[Bootless]

some sort of flash or light?

[elr]

Getting a little warm in here....

[Boutty]

A candle holder ?

[etaf]

some sort of gas light - looking at the lighted element and cage - for camping
OR
a grill maybe camping or kitchen cooker grill looking again at the bit thats lighted

[NickyBlade]

Is it inside of a CD or DVD player?

[jforget1]

some lights on a car?

[CyberPet]

Looks like an egg in a glass to the left by a stove cooker.

[Michaelmjc]

a clue?

[CyberPet]

One of those old roll tape machine, with big wheels. Or very modern: CD-player. :D

[chemicalbro]

part of a light meter?

[chakras]

hey this thread moves fast:lol:

This looks like a lamp shade shot taken from below :confused:

[elr]

no one guessed it right yet.....

sorry, I had a long rest...

Here's a clue:

It's a device where almost everybody have in their pockets, purse or bags.

[RMc]

Just a guess...key fob?

[NickyBlade]

MP3 player?

[jforget1]

Would it be a car key?

[jforget1]

If mine happens to be right, someone else take it, i am going to bed early so i can get up way early and take some sunrise shots.

[4nR]

a car alarm remote?

[NickyBlade]

A small flashlight?

[CyberPet]

If I tell what I have in my pockets and my purse you guys would think I'm nuts... but maybe it's a compass/gps :D

[TundraBunny]

Hmmm...if it isn't a car key which most would carry in pocket or purse...is it perhaps a car ignition to put the key in? This is very good...got me stumped. Another hint please.

[RMc]

Come on elr, it's been 14 hours.
You're leaving us hanging here.

[TundraBunny]

I just can't stand it anymore...Where are you elr? I haven't found anythink like that in my pocket or purse. Maybe it's one of those key covers with a built in squeeze light. Oh well...I'm off to create another web page before this drives me totally nuts. I'll check back later and hopefully the elusive elr will have checked back in and taken pity on us by giving another hint. LOL

[roanjohn]

Its a lighter!!

Ro1

[chemicalbro]

the inside of a walkman?

[jforget1]

It should be a rule that if the person posting the picture does not respond within an hour or two it moves to the next person who wants to post a photo. This is kind of crazy.

[chemicalbro]

yeah that's been said a hundred times already..time for an admin to impliment the rule methinks..........say 2 hours or 20 guesses..whichever happens 1st....

[jforget1]

And if the person who won doesn't post a shot in say an hour, it moves on as well.

Opinions?

[chemicalbro]

bring forth the axe........

[Bernt-Inge]

bring forth the axe........
be my guest :lol:

[TundraBunny]

I'm almost certain that roanjohn is correct about it being a lighter. Of course that would be a butane refillable lighter. Where is elr?

[chemicalbro]

I think somebody should jump in....its been 21 hours now........ not me tho coz i'm off to bed

[Spirit]

I definitely vote for someone else to jump in and post their macro pic. 21 hours is a LONG time for us to wait. And while we're on the subject, maybe a macro thread part duex. LOL (kidding)

[4nR]

if noone minds, ill post one.

http://img321.echo.cx/img321/6311/macro3pa.jpg
(http://www.imageshack.us)

[Boutty]

I know. part of 4nR's six packs?

[RAitch]

I definitely vote for someone else to jump in and post their macro pic. 21 hours is a LONG time for us to wait. And while we're on the subject, maybe a macro thread part duex. LOL (kidding)

You totally should split this into 2 threads... that way you can get more action. More pictures to pick from at the same time.

[RMc]

You are correct as of late. What I have noticed is there are good days and bad, not just early on was more fun. Remember the "lightening round"?

It would be nice if while one is "up", they pay very close attention to what is going on. People do need to sleep and go to work, things come up. Example, the guy concerned about his family in London.

Most of the time I play this game is just before I am ready for bed. If I was able to get a guess right, I have worried about posting a pic that wouldn't get a guess in the time I would want to retire for the night. In that case, I would make a hint obvious and after a while go to bed.

I propose no more than a couple of hours go before someone else can jump in and post a picture. Not so much that someone's picture has to be forfeited. It should still be able to guess at. But now we need to identify the pictures. #1 or #2 should work. I could see it now, "I believe the picture that looks like dental work in a rotten tooth is really a crack in the handle of an antique tea cup".

What do ya'll think?

Randy

Here is a thought I had a week ago, along about page 34.

Randy

[4nR]

I know. part of 4nR's six packs?

no, but i should give it to you for the 'great' guess :lol:

[RMc]

The color doesn't seem right. Maybe they make yellow ones.
Is it a peanut.., noodle...you know, Styrofoam packing material?

My wife says it's a sugar wafer.

[4nR]

nope. you have to really think about it.

[pcasciola]

An orange?

[RMc]

An orange?

I would like to rephrase my guess.

The color doesn't seem right. Maybe they make ORANGE ones.
Is it a peanut.., noodle...you know, Styrofoam packing material?

Sometimes I don't pay close attention to color or maybe I am a bit color blind.

[4nR]

nope and nein

[RockOne]

The veins on a leaf in Autumn colours ??

[4nR]

you are co.....mpletely wrong!

[jforget1]

Circus peanut?

[RockOne]

A bread roll ?.

[RMc]

I also thought about a leaf but it is too smooth.

Give us hint please.

[RMc]

Down toward the bottom center "valley" there appears to be red thread or dust. It that natural for this item or is it foreign?

[4nR]

nononononono... and rmc, what red thread? i didnt see anything like that. you guys better guess soon, cause im about to go to sleep.

edit: oh, and i already gave a clue in one of my previous posts, in case noone saw. :lol: heehee!

[Spirit]

Here is a thought I had a week ago, along about page 34.

Randy

Only 24 pages here. You can change it in your options.

[RMc]

Only 24 pages here. You can change it in your options.

Thanks for the tip. I'm looking at 60 now. I see 20 post per page. I'll check out the options.

It may not be red or a thread. Something down the lower middle seems to have about 3 pieces of fiber in it.

What is the hint? nein? co...mpletely?

How about a little larger image? Those are the best hints.

[ueb0258]

The end of a nerf football?

[4nR]

The end of a nerf football?

close. just combine that with my clue

[4nR]

i still cant see what youre seeing. so i guess its nothing. the hint was:

nope. you have to really think about it.

[RMc]

nope. you have to really think about it.

As apposed to forgetting about it, which I am going to have to do. I have to work in the morning, bummer.

I think it is a cheese cracker now.

Also, here's what I thought I was seeing.

[Michaelmjc]

I say we need a larger image or a better clue.

[4nR]

no, those arent important. i guess since it was so close you could see the little imperfections, but dont think those will tell you anything. i should probably have written: nope. you have to really think about it. i'll give this 5 more minutes and im going to bed. hopefully someone would have thought of it in the morning

[4nR]

I'll throw in another clue for you guys before i go to sleep. it should help clear things up a little. think abstract + nerf football.

http://img350.echo.cx/img350/9095/macroclue2iw.jpg

[jforget1]

nerf basketball

[jforget1]

nerf brain

[RMc]

I thought of brain earlier, but who ever heard of an orange brain?
I never heard of a nerf brain either but I think I've seen one now.

BTW, it looks like the little fibers I was seeing were actually little cracks.

[jforget1]

Good night all, if mine happens to win, someone else take a shot.

[CyberPet]

The six-pack of a GI-Joe :D

[4nR]

nerf brain

you got it. its a promotional foam brain stress ball that you can squeeze. its yours now jforget1. rmc, i did see what you were talking about. yes they were cracks. i didnt even notice it before. edit: doh, i guess your asleep now. rmc was the second one to guess it right so i'll give it to you if jforget is still asleep.

http://img333.imageshack.us/img333/8325/answer4yv.jpg

[jforget1]

Never even knew they had a Nerf Brain, man they will Nerf anything. I do not have anything available right now so I will pass the next one on to anyone who wants it.

[elr]

I just can't stand it anymore...Where are you elr? I haven't found anythink like that in my pocket or purse. Maybe it's one of those key covers with a built in squeeze light. Oh well...I'm off to create another web page before this drives me totally nuts. I'll check back later and hopefully the elusive elr will have checked back in and taken pity on us by giving another hint. LOL

Sorry Guys/Gals for keeping you waiting, I had a very busy weekend..... I've been waiting for hours yesterday for someone to post something but everybody's offline. I guess because we're on a different time zone.

Since someone already posted a new pic, here's the answer to mine.

It's the camera face of my Sony-Ericsson K700i......

[elr]

Hmmm...if it isn't a car key which most would carry in pocket or purse...is it perhaps a car ignition to put the key in? This is very good...got me stumped. Another hint please.

LOL... :lol:
