OK I'm off again.... be back in ~ 9 hrs.

[pcasciola]

Here's one to get the game going again:

[Bald Eagle]

looks like the stiching on a Softball or Baseball?

[pcasciola]

Ok, I guess that was way too easy. :D

You're up, Bald Eagle.

http://www.casciola.com/pics/baseball2.jpg

[Bald Eagle]

That was a great shot by the way, I'm just one of those strange people that look at things close up. I will have one up shortly.

[Bald Eagle]

Here is an easy one, nothing fancy.

[am_pitbull_terrier]

Staples?

[Bald Eagle]

Well, I did say it was an easy one, you got it, You're up.

[Leorooster]

Looks like peanut?

[Rob612]

Yes, peanut makes sense to me.

[NickyBlade]

or it might be a cookie?

[4nR]

i'd say it looks like a peanut as well.

[Big_B]

yup, it looks like a peanut to me as well

[CyberPet]

pancakes! :D

[pcasciola]

Sponge?

Waffle?

[am_pitbull_terrier]

Looks like peanut?

Peanut it is.... You're up Leorooster

[Leorooster]

Peanut it is.... You're up Leorooster

Alright, give me a few sec to find something to post;) ;) !!!

[Leorooster]

Here it is. It shouldn't be difficult:

[CyberPet]

Part of a running shoe?

[Leorooster]

Part of a running shoe?

No, it's not a personal item.

[Boutty]

A part of stair ?

[am_pitbull_terrier]

Model Rocket Fins

[Leorooster]

A part of stair ?

No, it's not a part of any constructions/structures/building.......

[Leorooster]

Model Rocket Fins

Nop......let me know if a hint is needed....;) ;)

[Boutty]

I got it. It's the protective foam inside the camera bag !!! ;)

[4nR]

i need a hint

[Leorooster]

I got it. It's the protective foam inside the camera bag !!! ;)

No, but close.

HINT: Something that we ALL have (or suppose to have:rolleyes: :cool: );) ;)


EDIT: I'm going out for dinner, will be back in an hour........

[RockOne]

[Michaelmjc]

Something nerf? haha

[4nR]

[Lioness]

[Leorooster]

NoNoNoNoNo........I said we "ALL". Note that all caps.....meaning us photobugs....It's not expensive, yet we ALL should have one......

[Boutty]

Tripod?

[Lioness]

lens cap?

[Leorooster]

Okay, maybe I over-generalized it. Let me be more specific. Usually only SLR users would have it. And, check your camera bag!;) ;)

[Boutty]

I guess I would never guess this. I owe a G6... :( :( :rolleyes:

Edit: So a G6 camera bag won't use this?

[RockOne]

A lens hood ?

[Leorooster]

I guess I would never guess this. I owed a G6...


Well, I said SLR owners should have one, but it doesn't mean non-SLR owners could not have one, and certainly it doesn't mean non-SLR owners would not know what it is.

Alright, another BIG HINT:

It is not only used exclusively on optical equipments, but can also be used on keyboards or other electronics. It comes in two (or three) sizes. It's mainly black and has a red component to it. AND, again check your camera bag!!!:cool: :cool: :cool:

[Leorooster]

A lens hood ?

Sorry, but no......:(

[OdiN1701]

It's a Giottos Rocket Air Blower!!!

[Leorooster]

I hope somebody will guess it right before I go offline again in 8 hrs...:)

[dkord]

It look like film sprocket holes.

[TundraBunny]

Hmmm...Is it part of the carriage return on your printer?

[elr]

It look like film sprocket holes.

Nope.

Hmmm...Is it part of the carriage return on your printer?

Sorry, it's not....

[mnfinnkidd]

It's the numbering on your lens...

[Rob612]

It's the numbering on your lens...

I'll second that. If it is, please don't ask us to find out what lens/brand because that will break the rules :D

[ueb0258]

Looks like the selector on the numbers on the back of a flash.

[elr]

Looks like the selector on the numbers on the back of a flash.

BINGO! It's the zoom indicator light of a 420EX Speedlite..

[TundraBunny]

I'm with CyberPet on this. Now where is Steve to give us the verdict or a hint. :) Love this game.

[Kent2]

No ones got it yet. Your guesses just aren't adding up *HINT*

Button on a calculator?

[nitsch]

[RockOne]

[nitsch]

Hehe! Cool! :D I wouldn't have got it without the clue though!

I'll have to pass up my go, I need to get some beauty sleep! Someone else can have my turn.

(I may however pop back to trade Family Guy quotes with 4nR though! LOL ;) )

[mnfinnkidd]

That means i'll give it try.

*HINT* It is nature based...and it might have already been used. I haven't had the chance to look through all 64 pages of pictures

[jporter12]

tree bark?

[humidity]

dirt on a tennis shoe?

[jforget1]

scales from a lizrad of some sort.

[Michaelmjc]

looks plastic to me, outside speakers? The kind that look like rocks?

[RMc]

tree bark?

As I come home and catch up on this thread, bums me out when I come across a picture that I think I just know what it is to find out someone else beat me to it, especially after a few guesses have already been tried.

I second tree bark.

[RMc]

Nope


I haven't had the chance to look through all 64 pages of pictures

Somewhere back in your 64 pages you can find a tip that someone gave me to make this 26 pages.

Randy

[Lioness]

What was that tip?

[RMc]

What was that tip?

At the top of the page, click Quick Links. Then User Control and then Edit Options. Find Number of Post to Show Per Page. Change that to 50.

I bet if you are on dial-up this will slow you down.

[Lioness]

Good to know! Thanks. (yay for cable modem!) :)

[mnfinnkidd]

tree bark?

it is Tree Bark...

Your turn jporter

[jporter12]

Sorry to take so long....... Be right back with one!

[jporter12]

I'm going to be honest here, I only have a couple hours, then I'll either reveal the answer, or someone can go on. For now, here's mine:

[jporter12]

I keep refreshing to see what responses there are, but no one is close as of yet.....

[Boutty]

A drink cup ?

[jporter12]

A drink cup ?

Really close.....

[Boutty]

Drink bottle?

[jporter12]

Drink bottle?

I think I have to give this one to you. Cup, bottle, all drink containers.

It's a Coke Can.

Your go!

As a side note, I was surprised at the amount of detail in their printing!

http://www.jpteck.com/images/Coke%20Can.jpg

[Angel_LCD]

Is it some kind of hat ?

[Angel_LCD]

[Boutty]

It's something to hold water that made from fabric...

Any more clue? :o

Edit: No way. I can't see this in the coke can!?! :evil: Well done!!!

[jporter12]

Edit: No way. I can't see this in the coke can!?! :evil: Well done!!!

I couldn't either, until I took the picture and cropped it! Yes, it was a crop, I don't have a true macro lens, but the kit lens, then a crop did ok!

[Boutty]

someone can jump in. I don't have any macro pix with me... ;)

[Boutty]

I couldn't either, until I took the picture and cropped it! Yes, it was a crop, I don't have a true macro lens, but the kit lens, then a crop did ok!

Cheers mate! jporter12, you have stumped us. :p

[mnfinnkidd]

[Boutty]

[mnfinnkidd]

[chemicalbro]

mnfinnkidd was 1st to say exacto knife.............. its actually a medical scalpel.... but close enough........

[mnfinnkidd]

Well I doubted myself...It's my turn anways...Here you all go.

http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/479/smallmacro2sb.jpg

[Boutty]

It looks like a part of the projector?

[4nR]

way off there boutty

[mnfinnkidd]

it looks like two planes of metal being forced together....but i'm not sure what that implies this as

[4nR]

well, its metal, i'll give you that. and its kind of two pieces.

[4nR]

i'll be back in about 8 hours. just keep guessing.

[RMc]

And once again the game comes to a screeching halt.
Am I the only one that thinks this is rude?

[mnfinnkidd]

well no....as much fun as this is...i think other people have to do things in life besides be on here...i'm not one of them..but i'm they exist

[Boutty]

Home-made lens adaptor ? :D :D

[MAGIcAL]

looks like a pair of dial from a shiny appliance or apparatus...

[4nR]

And once again the game comes to a screeching halt.
Am I the only one that thinks this is rude?

well, i wasnt tryingto be rude, but unfortunately i do need sleep every once in a while.

as for all the guesses: all wrong. you have to have a flippin sharp wit to get it. (ahem clue cough cough)

[4nR]

well, im going to work, so for those impatient ones who cant wait, its a butterfly knife. anyone can jump in.

http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/8225/fullmacro2ps.jpg

[mnfinnkidd]

What the hell is a butterfly knife for?

[Lioness]

here's an attempt to keep it going

[nitsch]

It's a paw, maybe a cat or dog.

[Lioness]

Yes! Okay it was an easy one :)

[chemicalbro]

What the hell is a butterfly knife for?

they are for triads and people who think they are cool

"Slash, spin and close! The butterfly knife is an interesting knife that you can spin and swirl in your hand, opening and closing the blade with each revolution. It was kind of fad amongst martial artists and teenagers duing the 1980's. It has been legally banned in many states due to their concealability"

[mnfinnkidd]

now that you say that..i know what you're talking about....bad asses in movies are always playing with while waiting for something to happen.

[nitsch]

Yes! Okay it was an easy one :)

:D

Ok here we go, here's the next one:

http://www.nitsch.co.uk/photos/quiz1.jpg

[4nR]

What the hell is a butterfly knife for?

its a letter opener. no, seriously. i use it to open letters and packages. i've had it for a long time and i not dumb enough to carry it around outside.


and im guessing its a button for a knit shirt.
