The super macro guessing game

[Chandler.]

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....


I definately know what guacamole is, I was just making a broader guess, in case it was a variation of guacamole and you were feeling picky. ;)

[thebugster1]

a candle

[Chandler.]

not a candle

[BearLeeAlive]

Tooth

[Chandler.]

closer, Jim.

[thebugster1]

gingivitis? lol! j'k

[Chandler.]

Okay, I won't lie. Jim is very, very close.

[Skrim17]

bone

[Skrim17]

ivory

[BearLeeAlive]

tusk

[Chandler.]

bone

http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/6166/january076598zh.jpg
correct. Even though there are teeth in the picture, the crop was of bone. Crissa, you're up.

[thebugster1]

I think I see some gingivitis in that picture as well :D

[Skrim17]

I've got nothing up my sleeve at the moment, its up for whomever wishes to post next.

[theague]

ok, 16 hours is long enough..

here is my feeble attempt. sorry if it's not as quality as some others.

[thekid24]

phone.....speaker of some kind

[cylentka]

Steering wheel cover?

[Citizensmith]

I think Kid24 has it. Part of a phone handset. Maybe the microphone part.

[theague]

phone.....speaker of some kind

this kid is quick!!! Here is the overall shot of the object, a phone speaker. That was way too easy! Funny until I took that photo i never knew my phone had some red stuff on the speaker. :)
LOL Just noticed, you can see the cord to my desk phone in the photo. I was on the phone with a customer while I was taking this photo. hehehe

http://www.aperturehead.com/gallery/data/544/IMG_1525a.JPG

[cfpackerfan]

That's the same phone I have Theague. :lol:

[theague]

Then you should have guessed it even faster than thekid. :D

[cfpackerfan]

I didn't recognize the red mark. LOL :lol:

[theague]

I had hoped it would throw some people off, at least I got one. :)

[thekid24]

Alright, its been awhile since I posted something here. Lets see if I still got it.

[BearLeeAlive]

Nutcracker

[cylentka]

:D a bolt??

[theague]

one of those metal puzzles.

[thebugster1]

I've know I've seen that before I just can't remember WHERE?!

[thekid24]

no so far. Keep the guesses coming and I'll post a bigger crop. I want to say this is a 100% crop. Might be off a little though.

[Pete]

Is it a salt/pepper grinder?

[thekid24]

nope

[Citizensmith]

Part of some exercise weights.

[thekid24]

nope not a tool. Here is part of the parts. Not sure if you can tell but it has double ball-heads. So therefore it can rotate.

[chansh]

Is there a picture with your post? Because I can't see any.

[thekid24]

Here? (http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2592590&postcount=14294)

[theague]

I think he was referring to this post. You made it sound like you were going to post a wider crop.

[j-wilson]

Is it the articulating portion of an adjustable inspection mirror? We have a mirror in the lab that has that exact part only ours has a wing nut on it.

[thekid24]

Is it the articulating portion of an adjustable inspection mirror? We have a mirror in the lab that has that exact part only ours has a wing nut on it.
No but youre close. It does articulate. But it isnt to a mirror. Ill put a different crop up.

[thekid24]

alright heres a different crop. You all might be able to combine the two photos. Im really not sure.

[Epluim]

It's a toggle of some sort?

[Citizensmith]

Some kind of ball joint. No clue what on though.

[BearLeeAlive]

Is it photography related?

Maybe a flash extension arm.

[thekid24]

no its not photography related. Unless you take something apart.

[thekid24]

Yet a different crop. This might give it away.

[j-wilson]

A magnet?

[chansh]

Yet a different crop. This might give it away.


I don't think so!!!!

[thekid24]

A magnet?
You got it. Its used to pick up stray screws, needles, nails, and various small metal parts.

[chansh]

Even with the full pic I wouldn't know what it is.

[BearLeeAlive]

You got it. Its used to pick up stray screws, needles, nails, and various small metal parts.
Good one, easy to see now. :lol:
Even with the full pic I wouldn't know what it is.
Saigh, you must not have done much mechanical work to your vehicles, or at least not dropped any wee parts somewhere you fingers won't reach. :D

[chansh]

Good one, easy to see now. :lol:

Saigh, you must not have done much mechanical work to your vehicles, or at least not dropped any wee parts somewhere you fingers won't reach. :D

Jim, I do a lots of DIY. I've taken apart lots of thing and put them back together. But you are spot on. I haven't done any mechanical work on my vehicles(yet). It's still too new.

[j-wilson]

My first try at macro...

[Chandler.]

electrical component

[Becky N]

Some kind of electrical plug with 9 conductors

[Skrim17]

fuse

[jr#8]

rotory switch

[aLFaDaRK]

Some sort of heating coil?

My other guesses were already said. :|

[Broncosaurus]

A vacuum tube.

[j-wilson]

A vacuum tube.

That's it.

It was probably an easy one for people who play guitar.

[BearLeeAlive]

That's it.

It was probably an easy one for people who play guitar.
Or anyone who played with electronics 30 or more years ago. Unfortunately I am old enough that I recognized it right away but did not have anything ready, nor the time right away to shoot something.
I was surprised it lasted that long, great job!!!!

[Broncosaurus]

Unfortunately my experiences with tubes go back to when our TV would go on the fritz. My dad would open it up from the back and we'd take all the tubes out and haul them down to the drug store to test them one by one on the big machine that looked sorta like a primative video game.
Anyways...
I don't have decent shot ready so I'll pass my turn to anyone with a macro relating to a stringed instrument or a pre-transistor electronical gizmo, or doodad.

LOL, too funny. I have the same memories. The tube tester at the electronics store had all the different sockets for various types of tubes to be tested. Unfortunately my memories go back that far too.

[Broncosaurus]

...or it could be a macro of anything. Anyone can post. Really!

[Reed Goodwin]

Eh, how bout this sucker?
Reed

[VGP]

Magazine?

[Jim7226]

Looks like a staple gun to me.

[VGP]

Lighter?

[Reed Goodwin]

Looks like a staple gun to me.So incredibly close...
Reed

[VGP]

Looks like a staple gun to me.

Oh i see it now!!! :cool:

So incredibly close...
Reed

:shock: hmmmmm....

[AirBrontosaurus]

Nail gun?

[VGP]

Nail gun?

Good one...didnt think of that!

[Chandler.]

Just a normal stapler?

[Jim7226]

Then how about a hammer tacker?

[StewartR]

It's a cartridge of staples for the automatic stapler attachment of a heavy-duty photocopier.

[Reed Goodwin]

Just a normal stapler?
Bingo. You're up. it was the only thing I could find that looked confusing close up...
Reed

[Chandler.]

I've got nothing, nor will I have anything today. Anyone may take this.

[Citizensmith]

I'll bite. Hopefully this won't be too easy.

[Guineh]

Bluetooth earpiece?

[Citizensmith]

Bluetooth earpiece?

Yeah OK, thought it might be a bit easy. There just wasn't a lot else on my desk that would work. :)

[Guineh]

Yeah OK, thought it might be a bit easy. There just wasn't a lot else on my desk that would work. :)

Ohh goodie.. I'll have to cull through some items tonight when I get home and get a pic up here!

[Guineh]

Here it is, probably easy to guess ... Hints later:

[Chandler.]

the end of an Icing squeeze tube ( for cakes)

[Citizensmith]

the end of an Icing squeeze tube ( for cakes)

That would be my guess too.

[Guineh]

Yeah, waaay too easy. You're up, Chandler

[Chandler.]

Good luck.

[jr#8]

Coin holders( makes it easier to put the coins in the rolls) or syringe's

[Chandler.]

No, but syringes are closer to these.

Hint: these are fast

[jr#8]

how bout a vacuum (sucker thingy)

[Chandler.]

No, the part you can see is about 1 cm wide

[BradT0517]

Yeah, waaay too easy. You're up, Chandler

Aww man that was my first thought but I didnt remember them folding over like that.

[BradT0517]

Could it be the syringes that you use for medicine as in kids medicine

[BradT0517]

a turkey baster

[Chandler.]

No to all guesses. Not at all related to medicine. In fact,

HINT: it's quite opposite to medicine.

[The Saint]

Rubber bullets?

[BradT0517]

No to all guesses. Not at all related to medicine. In fact,

HINT: it's quite opposite to medicine.

Bacteria
Virus

[Chandler.]

The Saint is in the right direction, but still not close.
Here's a bigger crop:
http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/9509/january077122fu2.jpg
Keep those guesses coming ;)

[The Saint]

Looks like it could be the top of some blow gun darts?

[Chandler.]

Looks like it could be the top of some blow gun darts?
Exactly! These are my 7" spearhead hunting darts.

The Saint is up!

[The Saint]

Lucky guess on my part!

Okay, here's my entry. Good luck!

[jr#8]

Looks like one of those chromed fiqurines, ( golfer, bowler,skier) one of those,

[BradT0517]

Could it be metal

[The Saint]

Looks like one of those chromed fiqurines, ( golfer, bowler,skier) one of those,

No, not a figurine... very cold

But it is metal.

[BradT0517]

Bike handle bars

[jr#8]

how big is the object?

[The Saint]

Nope, not bike handle bars.

Here is a size hint: it will (almost) fit in the palm of your hand.

[Skrim17]

metal interlocking puzzle

[jr#8]

eye bolt

[The Saint]

No, not a metal interlocking puzzle or an eye bolt...sorry

Hint: You might use a screwdriver instead of me...

[BradT0517]

paint can opener

[jr#8]

Brad you got it(I think)

[BradT0517]

Brad you got it(I think)

Well if I did and I'm pretty sure I did I'm going to pass my turn.

[The Saint]

Congratulations BradT0517...you got it!

[Broncosaurus]

Exactly! These are my 7" spearhead hunting darts.

My curiosity being piqued, I had to google these. At the Blowguns Northwest I found this statement, "... we are recommending that this blowgun be used for the older teenagers or adults." I do hope they meant to say, "...this blowgun be used by the older teenagers or adults."

[Chandler.]

That's way funny Bronco. I ordered off of that site and I missed that little detail. :)

[AirBrontosaurus]

Brad. Brad. Where are you?

[BearLeeAlive]

Brad. Brad. Where are you?
He's online right now!!!

[webcrawlur]

Well if I did and I'm pretty sure I did I'm going to pass my turn.
He gave it up guys, why don't one of you take it?:D

[BradT0517]

Well if I did and I'm pretty sure I did I'm going to pass my turn.

Brad. Brad. Where are you?

He's online right now!!!

Sorry for keeping you waiting but I passed it on to whoever wants it.

[webcrawlur]

Hey there Brad, still got nothing? I don't either, no time lately.:confused:

[BradT0517]

Hey there Brad, still got nothing? I don't either, no time lately.:confused:

Yea this is like the fourth time recently I have guessed right but I just havent taken the time for a good picture.

[Jim7226]

Okay...I passed on one a few weeks ago so I will offer one up now since nobody seems to have anything. I'm sure this one will be far too easy, but give it a go anyway. Good luck!

[thomascanty]

Yes, that is way too easy.

[Skrim17]

lol

[VGP]

:lol: Hmmmmm ;)

[Jim7226]

What can I say...getting things ready for the big Super Bowl party, dontcha know!;) :lol:

[Guineh]

Meh, I'll pass... (I don't want to dig up new ideas, and ... that one is plain obvious...)

[StewartR]

Jim, it's way too easy. And you really don't want people asking whether football fans from Minnesota don't drink beer. Post something else, quick!

[webcrawlur]

Showing a smaller crop would have been better...;)
Hurry, put up another one, don't be afraid to crop.:cool:

[Jim7226]

Okay, let me attempt to redeem myself. I tried to go easy on you guys since it had been several hours since any guessing. Okay, if you get this one right away I give up.:lol:

[Jim7226]

Jim, it's way too easy. And you really don't want people asking whether football fans from Minnesota don't drink beer. Post something else, quick!


You're right...I hang my head in shame! ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

Indicative of those fluffy NHL fans. Now the CFL, that's real football...

...and our balls are bigger. ;)

[Jim7226]

...and our balls are bigger. ;)


<thinking to self> Nah, I better leave that one alone. :lol:

[StewartR]

Indicative of those fluffy NHL fans. Now the CFL, that's real football...

...and our balls are bigger. ;)Nice one. In the context it deserves to be true. Sadly, however, it isn't (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Canadian_and_American_football).

And anyway, rugby players have bigger balls than both NFL and CFL sissies.:D

[StewartR]

Meanwhile, back at SMGG... you're right Jim, I have no idea at all about what that last object is. Not a clue.

[Jim7226]

Indicative of those fluffy NHL fans. Now the CFL, that's real football...

...and our balls are bigger. ;)

I just re-read this...I never thought I would live to see the day when a Canadian refers to "hockey fans" as fluffy. H = Hockey. A transgression like that could get a person deported from Canada, couldn't it? ;) :lol:

[BradT0517]

How about a plastic stand
plastic Conectors
fogged glass

[BearLeeAlive]

Nice one. In the context it deserves to be true. Sadly, however, it isn't (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Canadian_and_American_football).

And anyway, rugby players have bigger balls than both NFL and CFL sissies.:D
If you were American i would accuse you of trying to justify your your deficiencies. ;)

I just assumed that the hype about it was true, after all would they lie in a beer ad? :lol:

OK, until I see facts to disprove this I will concede to both CFL and NFL having smaller balls than rugby players.

But, we do have a bigger field. :D

[jr#8]

think Brads got it again, looks like the things they put on clothes with the price tag.

[BearLeeAlive]

I just re-read this...I never thought I would live to see the day when a Canadian refers to "hockey fans" as fluffy. H = Hockey. A transgression like that could get a person deported from Canada, couldn't it? ;) :lol:
Oh, good eye Jim, my bad. Please don't tell any NHL officionados, I just might get deported (or worse)!! :lol:

[Jim7226]

think Brads got it again, looks like the things they put on clothes with the price tag.

You guys are just too good. That's it...it's the plastic hang-tag used to attach price tags, etc. to retail clothing items (or other soft goods). I'm putting the macro lens away for another week. :cry:

[BradT0517]

Agk! Well Im going to pass this one again.

[jr#8]

Give me 5 min and I'll get something up.

[jr#8]

5 min is up here you go

[webcrawlur]

[Chandler.]

a perforated surface like

a jersey
a speaker cover

[BearLeeAlive]

Cosmic snowballs?

[jr#8]

Nope to all of the above.

[3Turner]
