[Rehuel]

[Flywing]

Another easy one:

[StewartR]

I'm sure it's easy if you know it. To me it's just frustrating. because I think I ought to know it...

[milleker]

It looks like a grip of some sort, but I'm sure you want details... Is it a carrying handle?

[thekid24]

I'm sure it's easy if you know it. To me it's just frustrating. because I think I ought to know it...
yeah i find that sometimes frustrating."Ok heres and easy one",its putting added pressure on me...lol...as if i should know it,thus if i dont well then i fell like a pre-schooler

[thekid24]

a grip to a camera bag

[Flywing]

Not a grip but handle is close do we need to stipulate a positive ID?

[thekid24]

Not a grip but handle is close do we need to stipulate a positive ID?

[Flywing]

Yup, handle on a kitchen scissors close enough. Your up!

[BradT0517]

Yea I was worried but I just had to bring it up as it has been a while since someone metioned it

[cfpackerfan]

i dont have anything as of now...so whoever wants to take it can

Anyone gonna post a pic? *drumming fingers restlessly on the desk*

Seriously.

I wanna play. I guess I could post one... I have a picture of a newt, just for Dickie Jim. ;)
Except now, ya'll will be expecting it, so I need to find something different.

If noone has posted within the next hour, I'll post. And it WON'T be a tennis ball!!

[cfpackerfan]

Alrighty then, exactly an hour later, right down to the minute. ;)
Get yer guessers ready:

[Flywing]

Velcro

[cfpackerfan]

nope

[misspix]

THAT is a bumpy textured green thingy!

[cfpackerfan]

green?? Either your monitor is a bit off, or mine is. No.
But there is a bit of texture. ;)
Doesnt qualify as a thingy, though. Sorry.

[Flywing]

Lock

striker plate

straight jacket clasp

[cfpackerfan]

No
No
and straight jacket clasp ROFLMAO!! No! :lol: I didn't have one of those lying around. Oddly enough. :lol:

[BradT0517]

green?? Either your monitor is a bit off, or mine is. No.
But there is a bit of texture. ;)
Doesnt qualify as a thingy, though. Sorry.
a device??

[cfpackerfan]

:p Not a device.

[BradT0517]

then seriously a seat belt buckle

[BradT0517]

form molded rubber

[Flywing]

Look like some kind of weave happening there on the right a waterproof fabric hummmm it's a ... ... a ... nah can't be a... how about all weather camera bag?

[cfpackerfan]

nope nope nope.

I'm positive it is not waterproof.

To help you out, the entire object is only about 1 inch by 2 inch. And this is just a teeny portion of it.

[BradT0517]

how about a tarp

[cfpackerfan]

^ see above post for size reference

[BradT0517]

^ see above post for size reference
I did thought the picture was about 1 x 2 inchs and that was the small part owell

[3Turner]

lens cloth

[Flywing]

Alrighty then, exactly an hour later, right down to the minute. ;)
Get yer guessers ready:

OK it's not a tarp:lol:

Makeup dispenser

[Flywing]

OK so i tried to bring the photo back up on the page with my guess but it make it

[misspix]

clasp on a wallet/purse

[cfpackerfan]

No to all so far. None even close.
And here is a repost so you don't have to keep going back to the last page.

Hint #1. most of us here don't use it much. Anymore.

[Rehuel]

Is it a negative?

[misspix]

The ribbon cartridge of of an IBM Selectric :)

[cfpackerfan]

Is it a negative?

Not quite. ;)

Terri, um... no.

[BradT0517]

part of the mount on an FD lens

[cfpackerfan]

No sir

[cfpackerfan]

Again. The ENTIRE item is only 1x2 inches. This pic is a tiny portion of that.
It is all one item right now, but can (and will be) separated at some time in the future.

[misspix]

*pulling hair out of head*

[BradT0517]

[BradT0517]

[BradT0517]

ROFL!! Bradley! Get a grip.
A grip that is falling apart

[cfpackerfan]

I could give a bigger crop... you want?

[BradT0517]

yes please

[Skrim17]

*cough* film*cough*

[cfpackerfan]

ROFL! Crissa, is that official?

[Skrim17]

I've got nothing to post so it was just a coughing spell.

[cfpackerfan]

Here is a larger crop. And with Crissa's affliction (I hope that cough gets better soon) I hope it is easily recognizable.

[misspix]

Can I get you some water Crissa? :)

[Skrim17]

Thanks but I'd just spill it all over my film, er I mean keyboard Terri.

[BradT0517]

HDF?

[cfpackerfan]

You must be more specific Brad. What is HDF? Crissa.... care to spew any more information for our macro-challenged friends here?

[BradT0517]

Human Developement Foundation
Heirachial Data Format
Hubble Deep Field

[Flywing]

OK must be a film canister

[Skrim17]

I dare say it would be black and white film for a real film camera.

[cfpackerfan]

Brad, you kill me. ROFL
Wally, way to watch from the distance and dive in when the time is right.
You're up.

Oooh, looks like Crissa was super specific, and a second faster than Flywing. ;)

[Flywing]

Yes in for the steal

Ok here's one a blind man could get:

[Skrim17]

I officially toss the next post up in the air, whoever is fastest gets it!

[Skrim17]

Wow, fly read my mind.

[BradT0517]

Yes in for the steal

Ok here's one a blind man could get:

[Flywing]

Hint: not a bowling ball

[Flywing]

[3Turner]

is it a screw head to a larger item?

[Flywing]

No:
weight about ten pounds; stainless steel; used in the oil field industry I was thinking about recycling it in to a boat anchor.

[cfpackerfan]

A ten pound macro. Interesting.
Mercury?

[Flywing]

A ten pound macro. Interesting.

[Flywing]

Not really sure what one looks like but,

A pig

no not a pig

[BearLeeAlive]

Yup, lived all my life in Alberta and don't know squat about the oil industry.
But I sure know how to spend the money of those making lots there. ;)

[StewartR]

A ten pound macro. Interesting.His last "macro" was 6 feet by 3 feet. I'm beginning to spot a pattern here.

[Becky N]

Looks like a ball hitch to me

[Flywing]

Nope

[Flywing]

His last "macro" was 6 feet by 3 feet. I'm beginning to spot a pattern here.
I thought about taking the 105mm and shooting the screw hole but that would only give you the screw hole this way you get the feeling of the whole thing.

[BradT0517]

No:
weight about ten pounds; stainless steel; used in the oil field industry I was thinking about recycling it in to a boat anchor.

Somebody did post a macro of an anchor about a month ago

I should no this as my dad is in the oil industry that is why i live where I live

[Bill Ng]

is that a part of a flow valve?

Bill

[Flywing]

is that a part of a flow valve?

Bill

You are correct sir. You're up!

[Bill Ng]

Okay. This is not cropped (except for making it 1x1 aspect ratio). This is the full photo. It was shot with a 20D (a co-worker's), a Sigma 105 f/2.8 EX DG (mine), a Tamron AF 1.4 teleconverter, and a Canon EF 25 II extension tube. There is a vague hint hidden in this paragraph.

Oh, and I already know the sensor's dirty =)

Bill

[AirBrontosaurus]

Staples?

[BradT0517]

[Bill Ng]

Staples?

I don't know how you got it ... but excellent guess. Yep, staples.

Bill

[Skrim17]

what the heck was the vague hint?

[thomascanty]

what the heck was the vague hint?

Co-worker, maybe? Most people only use staples at work.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Hm... I won't have anything until tomorrow morning. Someone is welcome to take my spot before then.

[Matoch]

I think everyone doing macro has done staples at some point in time. It's one of those things I recognize immediately.

=)
