The super macro guessing game

[scraps]

Yay! I've got pesky calculus class to go to, but after that I'll have something.

Or, if someone wants to take my turn, that would be fine too.

What has calculus ever done for anybody...?:lol:

[AirBrontosaurus]

Don't remind me. I would honestly rather have my teeth pulled without anesthetic than take calculus.

But, that is neither here nor there. Here's the next shot:

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/926/showernozzletj3.jpg

Image info: It was taken at 2:1, and is approximately 2.3mm across.

[Lord_Malone]

Not sure exactly what that is or what you've been putting through that opening, but there's definitely a pubic hair in there.

[theague]

it looks like the red wax off those little cheese rolls.

lol @ lord malone.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Not sure exactly that is or what you've putting in that opening, but there's definitely a pubic hair in there.

It's not ;), but if it were it would be about .9mm long. Thems some short pubes!

[cfpackerfan]

I know what that is. :) But I'm about to blow outta here, so I'm not going to guess. :lol:

[StewartR]

I got it before I read Cat's post, honest. It's the nozzle of a rocket blower.

Unfortunately I'm away from home on a business trip at the moment, and all my gear is at home, so when Chris confirms I'm right then somebody else is free to post a shot on my behalf. (Chris, remember to tell people when you make the announcement.)

[AirBrontosaurus]

Yet, rocket-blower nozzle!

Thanks to StewartR, the next one is a freebie! Go for it, new people!

[Citizensmith]

One more rocket blower macro and they will be overtaking batteries as the go to macro subject. :)

[cfpackerfan]

Well, we shoot what's handy dont we?? LOL

[::Lisa::]

Viewing along.

[Broncosaurus]

Good morning, and good luck:D
Scale? The arc has about a .5cm radius.

[AirBrontosaurus]

The back of a wristwatch?

[theague]

Hello mr. broncosaurus from another fellow washingtonian.

I dont' know all the rules of this so you may not have to answer this but is that some sort of engraving in the bottom right corner?

[AirBrontosaurus]

I saw the engraving too. My guess was Eddie Bauer (hence my wristwatch guess), but it could be almost anything.

[theague]

for some reason the left side of the photo doesn't look very wrist-watchish to me. lol

how about a money clip?

[Broncosaurus]

Not a watch, or jewelry of any sort. There is an engraving, but it isn't personalized.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Is it one of those divot fixers used in golf?

[theague]

scale isn't right for a divot fixer... is it a 5cm radius or 5cm diameter? lol :)

[Broncosaurus]

Not a clip or divot fixer. The 0.5cm radius is about the same size as the top of a golf tee, and a tee can be used to repair ball marks, but that is completely irrelevant to this object.

[theague]

so sorry, I read it as 5cm not .5cm. LOL

is it a ball marker? (sticking with the golf theme)

[theague]

Maybe there's a reference to Dick's Drive-In on it. It's been known to trip up filters.

[Broncosaurus]

Not a ball marker.

[BearLeeAlive]

Theague, not sure where you are going but I got in just fine, it might be kinda like Bronco was saying.

Man too many Chris-asaurus's around here. ;)

[Citizensmith]

Part of a door lock for the latest macro?

[cfpackerfan]

P***ography or p***ography.

I can see how filters would get confused. They are, after all, so close. :rolleyes:

[BearLeeAlive]

P***ography or p***ography.

I can see how filters would get confused. They are, after all, so close. :rolleyes:
And can actually be combined....;)

[thekid24]

a buckle? to a purse...jacket....coat.....pants.....belt....suitc ase

[Broncosaurus]

Time for a more revealing crop:

[theague]

almost looks like the leg of a chair but the first crop has me all confused. I don't even SEE the engraving now. :( Is this a different orientation now?

Theague, not sure where you are going but I got in just fine, it might be kinda like Bronco was saying.

Man too many Chris-asaurus's around here.

My company's filters are pretty strict at times. It's odd. There's probably one little thing in there but I'm not going to chance it. I'll just look at it later at home. lol

P***ography or p***ography.
I can see how filters would get confused. They are, after all, so close.

lol good point! I never thought of it. usually though when it's something pornographic it is labeled as "Adult" not "sex"... we've got some wacky filters here.. For some reason it doesn't block POTN though so I'm happy. :)

[Broncosaurus]

This crop's roughly the same height but more than twice as wide. The engraving is a trademark so I'm not showing it.

[AirBrontosaurus]

WHAT? My gallery is labeled sex?!

There isn't even a single picture of a person in it! I have a few bugs mating... but that's it. Honest!

That is really weird. Is there any way for me to fix it?

[theague]

I could complain to my IT department but then they'd have proof provided BY ME that I am surfing the internet during work. lol

[theague]

my next guess..

telescope or binoculars

[BearLeeAlive]

I would bet it is a filter of sorts on theagues end, not yours Chris.

[Broncosaurus]

It has no glass.

[thekid24]

is it kitchenware?

[Broncosaurus]

Is not used in a kitchen. I suppose you could, but... you don't.

[theague]

curling iron? lol

[3Turner]

airbrush

[theague]

good guess.

[Broncosaurus]

Neither curling Iron nor airbrush, both are good guesses. It does curl something as a part of it's function, and it's used by artists. In my case, a wannabe artist, of sorts.

[Skrim17]

pencil sharpener

[theague]

cylentka i love your avatar :)

Nope, no sharp bits, but you do turn one part which turns another part.


hinge?

Nota hinge.

[thekid24]

clock......possibly a tube bender

[thekid24]

walnut crusher

[Broncosaurus]

This is as much as I can show without showing the whole thing.

[Broncosaurus]

walnut crusher

It's too small for that.

[Broncosaurus]

Hint: This is one out of a set of six.

[cylentka]

paint mixer?

[3Turner]

does it curl ribbons...maybe for scrapbooking?

[Broncosaurus]

Here's the whole unit. Do you need to see all six?

[tiktaalik]

Guitar?

[Broncosaurus]

Well yeah, I was just going for the tuning machine.

Take it Tiktaalik, you're up:)

[BearLeeAlive]

Oh, now I come along. I woulda got it. I used the flip side as a clue a while back. See links.
CLUE (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=1798672&postcount=7068)
BIG PIC (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=1800361&postcount=7099)

[tiktaalik]

I did know it was part of the tuning thingy but I felt kinda embarrassed by saying 'tuning thingy' instead of the real name :)

Anyway:

[jr#8]

diaphram or finger nail or contact lens(dirty)

[tiktaalik]

Nope, nope, and nope.

It is kinda dirty though. It's kind of perturbing viewing the world in macro when before you never really gave it any thought. :lol:

[jr#8]

prophylactic(condom)

[3Turner]

diaphram

LOL:lol: ...never would have guessed that myself...

a candle?

[3Turner]

prophylactic(condom)

okay...i can see where you get that...but your bold...

chapstick is my next guess

[cfpackerfan]

ROFL @ the guesses so far

[Citizensmith]

Soap, as in a bar of?

[BradT0517]

I was thinking of a gel of somesort

[AirBrontosaurus]

Geeze you guys! Condoms, diaphragms and pubes? Is this really the SMGG we've all come to know and love? Do we need to move this thread to Glamor/Nude? ;)

[blinktwice]

Is it a candle of some sorts

[steve535]

a slice of ham or chicken?

[::Lisa::]

My first thought is a slice of bacon but then it looks a little too pale for that :lol:

Ummm is it some sort of skin, whether that be human or animal?

[3Turner]

Geeze you guys! Condoms, diaphragms and pubes? Is this really the SMGG we've all come to know and love? Do we need to move this thread to Glamor/Nude? ;)

Pubes?? ??? No one said Pubes....where did you get that!!:lol:

[tiktaalik]

Some pretty far out guesses here but chapstick it is. Robert is up.

[Epluim]

pubes came from the macro several rounds ago.

[tiktaalik]

That's right. They are NOT on my Chapstick :shock:

[BearLeeAlive]

That's right. They are NOT on my Chapstick :shock:
LOL, you sure you don't have a story to tell? ;) :p :p

[3Turner]

all right....lemme scramble a shot up be right back with something

[3Turner]

okay...after some careful searching around the house....I really did not have any idea what to post, I've narrowed it down to two items this one and the other I'll save for later;)

[tiktaalik]

LOL, you sure you don't have a story to tell? ;) :p :p
I'm sure :p

[Thenethiel]

Christmas ornament of some kind?

[thekid24]

part of a fuse.....or a light bulb
a little light of somesort

[3Turner]

part of a fuse.....or a light bulb

it is a light bulb...your up next

[Skrim17]

blown glass

[theague]

I think that was the fastest SMGG i've seen.

[3Turner]

I think that was the fastest SMGG i've seen.


Nahh...this one I posted a few back went in 2 minutes
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2555119&postcount=14076

[theague]

[thekid24]

[::Lisa::]

Here we are *attached*

[chansh]

It's a curve reflective metal on a reflective surface reflecting some orange object.

[thekid24]

end of a lipstick cap....or lipstick bottom
or same areas but on a bottle of fingernail polish

[cylentka]

I don't know what it is, but I could clean it off with a little WD40.

[::Lisa::]

It's a curve reflective metal on a reflective surface reflecting some orange object.

end of a lipstick cap....or lipstick bottom
or same areas but on a bottle of fingernail polishNone of the above ;)

I don't know what it is, but I could clean it off with a little WD40.You wouldn't want to clean this off with WD40 either :lol:

[Skrim17]

is it metal or metal coated?

[BradT0517]

How about an exaust pipe

[Epluim]

I think it's something you'd use in the kitchen - but you used it to paint! ;)

[::Lisa::]

is it metal or metal coated?It's not metal. I wouldn't say it metal coated either. It's just made purposely to look like that.

How about an exaust pipeNot that :)

I think it's something you'd use in the kitchen - but you used it to paint! ;)No, it isn't :)

[Skrim17]

how bout a larger crop?

[::Lisa::]

how bout a larger crop?Anymore bigger and it'll give it away...

[Skrim17]

candle holder?

[chansh]

???

[::Lisa::]

candle holder?No it's not that.

Here's a clue...
It is a seasonal item, which can be used on occasions throughout the year.

[chansh]

An old shiny plastic ribbon.

[::Lisa::]

An old shiny plastic ribbon.
Almost, but boiling hot :lol:

You win it. It's a gift bow :)

[thomascanty]

A larger crop would have given it away? ??? I still wouldn't have guessed it with that crop...

[theague]

A larger crop would have given it away? ??? I still wouldn't have guessed it with that crop...


LOL me either. When i first saw the larger crop I thought it was an icing thing for when you ice cakes... you squeeze it and it shoots out the frosting? That's what it looked like at first.

That was a stumper for me, I didn't even BOTHER guessing.

[thebugster1]

I had it guessed, I just didn't post in time... :D

[chansh]

I'll post something soon.

[theague]

I had it guessed, I just didn't post in time... :D

:rolleyes:

No! it's nothing to do with music.

Galvanized nails?
No.

[Chandler.]

Muffin or cupcake wrapper?

[Miniflash]

A bow again?

[chansh]

Muffin or cupcake wrapper?
It's related to food but not eatable.


A bow again?

No

[BearLeeAlive]

Whisk?

[Chandler.]

A handle?

[chansh]

Whisk?

Sherbet?
Nope

[Skrim17]

guava

[jr#8]

jello or avacado

[BearLeeAlive]

jello or avacado
You got a part of it

[BearLeeAlive]

guava
Notta

[BearLeeAlive]

Back in 30.

[jr#8]

Jello mold looks like watermelon or strawberry and green Jello

[BearLeeAlive]

Jello mold looks like watermelon or strawberry and green Jello
Not jello

[Jim7226]

Strawberry jelly on a muskmellon

[BearLeeAlive]

Remember........

Jello or avocado is part of it, but it's not jello.

[Chandler.]

Avacodo dip or salad?

[AirBrontosaurus]

Avocado-flavored jello ;)? Actually, I think Chandler got it right

[jr#8]

avacado dip with salsa

[::Lisa::]

A larger crop would have given it away? ??? I still wouldn't have guessed it with that crop...

LOL me either. When i first saw the larger crop I thought it was an icing thing for when you ice cakes... you squeeze it and it shoots out the frosting? That's what it looked like at first.

That was a stumper for me, I didn't even BOTHER guessing.:lol: Sorry. I guess it totally helps when you took pic in first place and knew what it was :lol:

I promise to do easier next time ;)

[thomascanty]

I promise to do easier next time ;)

Well, you don't want to make it too easy, though...

[BearLeeAlive]

Avacodo dip or salad?
I'll give it to Chandler because it is a type of avocado dip, but I had been looking for the name of the dip/spread. It must be not known worldwide though.

I know they know of GUACAMOLE all across Canada and in Mexico, as well as some folk I know in New Jersey....

Here is the larger pic.

[cfpackerfan]

That is some fantastic looking Guac, Jim. Homemade??

[theague]

I almost said that but didn't know how to spell it nor did I think it looked like guacamole. LOL Oh well. :)

Great photo. :)

[BearLeeAlive]

That is some fantastic looking Guac, Jim. Homemade??
'tis great stuff, made by my wife.

[chansh]

'tis great stuff, made by my wife.

Is your wife a good cook? :)

[BearLeeAlive]

Is your wife a good cook? :)
A great cook. :D
Thus my need to go to the gym and pursue activies that help burn calories. ;)

[thebugster1]

Now I want some guacamole and corn chips... and it's 8:30 in the morning, lol!

[Epluim]

mmmm. i'm having fajitas - guacamole would be SO perfect right now!

[Chandler.]

I'll give it to Chandler because it is a type of avocado dip

Sweet. I've got one on the way. Give me a minute.
