The super macro guessing game

[Big_B]

The rules are simple. Someone posts a super macro photo and the rest have to guess what it is. Whoever guesses first has to post another photo and so it goes on.

I'll start things off with an easy one. :D

nb. pbase is being funny again! Here's the link if you can't see the photo: http://www.pbase.com/image/45335228

[NeverFollow]

Doenst seem that easy....... stainless steal refridgerator?

[Big_B]

Ok well perhaps it helps that I know what it is! It's often the way with these things.
:)

The object at the top of the photo is what you are trying to identify. Ignore the rest of the photo as the object is just sitting on a stainless steel surface. The two are unconnected.

I'll give clues if needed :)

[Bernt-Inge]

Corkscrew ;)

[Big_B]

Corkscrew ;)

Spot that alcoholic! :lol:

Your turn

[hauff]

Looks like a couple of bent nails.

[Bernt-Inge]

Spot that alcoholic! :lol:

Well here we go :) Macropicture just taken ;) hehe I'll provide hints if necessary:)

[CyberPet]

Latch on a laptop?

[BearLeeAlive]

Docking bay on the USS Enterprise

[Bernt-Inge]

yes it's on a laptop, no not a power led and not anything on the uss enterprise :P

[CyberPet]

microphone? Or maybe it's the lock thingy, where you can lock your computer with a cable to a desk. :D

[Bernt-Inge]

Nope it's on the lid and not anything to do with locking :)

[Big_B]

Is it one of those tiny data ports?

[Rob612]

Onboard camera ?

[snorton]

is it a light ? on a thinkpad?

[felix21685]

is it one of the pieces that keep it latched closed?

[Bernt-Inge]

is it a light ? on a thinkpad?

Yes The ThinkLight™ keyboard light ;) You're up :)

[Big_B]

Good guess snorton. You're turn! :)

[DeltaWebb]

This is one of the coolest threads I've seen! Can't wait to see what snorton puts up. I've never done a Macro shot, but hope I guess the next one to get a chance to try. But after I get my new lens!

[snorton]

Big_B,

Sorry, I am on the road, and don't have my camera with me... I kindly yield my turn....

-Steve

[Big_B]

No problem steve. Does someone else want to step in ?

[G3owner]

It seems that the door is open, so here comes....

G3owner

[condyk]

Donald Rumsfeld's Robotic left Gattling Gun nipple? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously ... the eye peep hole on someones apartment door!

[G3owner]

Seriously ... the eye peep hole on someones apartment door!

Nope. My 'the door is open' comment had nothing to do with the object ... :cool:

[aam1234]

Don't know what it's called in English, but it a kind of clip to fasten things. Hope that makes sense.

[G3owner]

Don't know what it's called in English, but it a kind of clip to fasten things. Hope that makes sense.

See what you mean, but no. No button or clip...

[condyk]

A tweeter on a loudspeaker ...

[aam1234]

Phone camera?

[G3owner]

A tweeter on a loudspeaker ...
No. That would be a far too big object. This is super macro... ;)

Phone camera?
Still negative.


Good guesses, but you guys are not even close yet... :lol: Just to frame the size of the object: The outer diameter is only about 1 cm.

[Bernt-Inge]

Is it only me or is this to easy ? :P I already had my turn ;) It's the top of a battery :rolleyes:

[G3owner]

It's the top of a battery :rolleyes:

Taaadummmm! Bingo! Bernt-Inge did it again! So you have to pick up your camera again, Angel_LCD :D

Here's another pic of the object (an AAA battery) from a different angle:

[Bernt-Inge]

Thanks ;) Well here we go. Batteries went dead on my G5 so here is what I got before they died :p I will provide hints as necessary :)

[BearLeeAlive]

Wires heat shrinked onto a popsicle stick.

[Bernt-Inge]

Wires heat shrinked onto a popsicle stick.:lol:

Nope ;)

[G3owner]

A part of a mobile phone antenna?

[aam1234]

Did you buy it like that or you made it yourself.

[Bernt-Inge]

No mobile antenna and yes it's just like I bought it, only a little more smelly and dirty ;)

[hauff]

It's a line guide on a fishing rod?????

[Rob612]

Haven't a clue, really... No idea !

[Bernt-Inge]

It's a line guide on a fishing rod?????

good hauff ;) You're turn :)

Here is the whole piece :)

[hauff]

I kind of had the inside track on that one as I custom build a few fishing rods in my spare time.

Anyways, here's my macro. I'll show you just a bit of it now and follow up with clues as required and the full picture when it's been revealed.

http://www3.telus.net/public/g0a00489/supermacro.jpg

[chakras]

Is that a drill bit ?

[hauff]

Is that a drill bit ?

I thought I was to get 15 minutes of fame not 12 minutes.
You bet it's a drill bit.
Did my saying, "I'll show you a bit of it" help or did that go unnoticed?

Your up Chakras!!!!!!!!

http://www3.telus.net/public/g0a00489/supermacrofull.jpg

[chakras]

Did my saying, "I'll show you a bit of it" help or did that go unnoticed?

Your up Chakras!!!!!!!!


Nope, just saw the edges - ok off to unpack my camera :cool:

[chakras]

It is so difficult to get something to photograph. Ok, here is my attempt. I will provide clues if required.

[hauff]

Gonna try and get you back ha..ha..


It's the lever that pushes the ice cream out of the ice cream scoop.

[chakras]

Great - I didn't think that was so easy. Ok Hauff, got me there :lol:. Your turn.

[BearLeeAlive]

Good guess, I knew I knew what it was but my old mind just coundn't recollect.

[Bernt-Inge]

I resisted the temptation ;) Seems like I have had all the fun here :P hehe

[Big_B]

Gonna try and get you back ha..ha..


It's the lever that pushes the ice cream out of the ice cream scoop.

Dang! I thought it was a part of a clock or something! oh well... I'll go back to what I'm good at.... actually, now I come to thing of it, what an earth am I good at?! :lol:

[hauff]

Geez...Selecting something to take a picture of is harder than guessing what it is. Here's the next one.


http://www3.telus.net/public/g0a00489/macro1.jpg

[felix21685]

lol u know what tha reminds me off..the side of a paper safe that we kept out b+w paper in ..years ago ;)

it could be like the side of a stove..a plastic cover..who knows lol

[condyk]

It LOOKS just like the side of the plastic container that Cat Flea liquid/killer stuff comes in, and I just checked it to and it's close, but no way you'd think of using that!

[felix21685]

it also looks like a plastic mold used for molding stuff..

[hauff]

Sorry guys....nobodies close....yet.

[Bald Eagle]

possibly a car mirror or a rear view mirror?

[Bernt-Inge]

Could it be some kind of money tray ? I know I have seen those shapes somewhere. ???

[hauff]

Sorry Bald eagle.


"HINT" You might sit down in front of this object.

[BearLeeAlive]

Corner of a monitor or TV?

[Bald Eagle]

a speaker?

[BlueTit]

A Razor?

[Bald Eagle]

a laptop?

[hauff]

Ahhh.. I see what is happening here. Don't count out the white on the left side of the picture, as that also forms part of the object. It's not just space or distance beyond the picture.


http://www3.telus.net/public/g0a00489/macro1.jpg

[Bald Eagle]

a mirror?

[Becca]

Piano keys?

[hauff]

Congrats Becca. You nailed it right on. This is to much fun.

I have a 19 year old daughter who just told me "it's so sad to see you guys doing this for your fun"........lol



http://www3.telus.net/public/g0a00489/macro2.jpg

Have fun with your turn.

[Becca]

Ok... here goes. Any ideas? :)

[hauff]

It's the bott.............no I can't, I've already had 2 turns today.

[felix21685]

lol a battery again.. j/k.. how about the bottom of a tripod leg or some sort of support for a chair/table etc..?

[Becca]

:lol: Nope, not yet... but I think Hauff may be on to something.

[felix21685]

so its not any type of support? the bottom of a cabinet/fridge or anything like that ?

[Bernt-Inge]

I won't tell :P Seems like some of us has it easier to take these ;)

[Becca]

Nope, not the support of a fridge or a cabinet.

[Bald Eagle]

showerhead?

[Becca]

And I'm not clever enough to come up with any good hints... sure you're not getting any ideas? ;)

[Becca]

Not a showerhead.

[Bald Eagle]

A can opener?

[Becca]

A can opener?

Nope. Not a can opener.

[hauff]

And I'm not clever enough to come up with any good hints... sure you're not getting any ideas? ;)

[Becca]

[Bernt-Inge]

Nope, sorry!

Well brightness needs help sometimes :p

[Thenethiel]

Is it some manner of button or switch?

God, I know I've seen one, this is going to haunt me.

[Becca]

Is it some manner of button or switch?

God, I know I've seen one, this is going to haunt me.

Sorry, no. Keep looking at it... maybe a light will go on.

[Bald Eagle]

[Thenethiel]

Bottom of a light bulb

[Bernt-Inge]

welcome to the party Bernt

Seems like yours is the only one that haunts me ;) I could not figure that one out :p

[Thenethiel]

I knew I had seen one:p

Now let's what I can work up without having a real macro lens...

[Becca]

I have a 19 year old daughter who just told me "it's so sad to see you guys doing this for your fun"........lol

She just doesn't know what fun is! This is a blast!

[Thenethiel]

I have a 19 year old daughter who just told me "it's so sad to see you guys doing this for your fun"........lol

Hey I'm 19 and I think this is fun:p

Of course, I don't have a girlfriend....

[Becca]

Hey I'm 19 and I think this is fun:p

Of course, I don't have a girlfriend....

Hmmm... you're 19... Hauff's daughter is 19....

*ducking and running*:wink:

[Thenethiel]

Different countries though, I like Cananda it's just a long way away

Picture is coming by the way, finally got one I think'll work

[hauff]

I'll need to see all your financial records for the last 3 years as well as reference letters and a picture of your boat as I am an avid walleye fisherman. Then we'll talk.

[Thenethiel]

Everything but the boat, I don't have one and I don't fish, in fact I can't swim either, lack of exposure to water at a young age I guess:confused:

[Becca]

I'll need to see all your financial records for the last 3 years as well as reference letters and a picture of your boat as I am an avid walleye fisherman. Then we'll talk.

Sounds like my dad... wait! Dad??? *giggle* j/k :lol:

[hauff]

in fact I can't swim either, lack of exposure to water at a young age I guess:confused:

Good enough then, we''ll take my boat for the interview.......lol


Oh and BECCA, you started this whole thing, I certainly hope your happy now.

[Becca]

Oh and BECCA, you started this whole thing, I certainly hope your happy now.

Ok, this might be a long shot but here it is.

[Thenethiel]

Part of a vacum cleaner?
Nope, way off target.

[Bald Eagle]

a pulley?

[twisty]

Some type of gasket

[Thenethiel]

a pulley?

Technically I think it's a pulley, but not one you would use to lift something.

[Bald Eagle]

A starter pulley.

[hauff]

Is it a rope restraining device used for control to raise or lower a climber or other heavy object.

[Thenethiel]

You almost have the right idea, but it has nothing to do with lifting things.

[Bald Eagle]

Rappelling gear.

[Thenethiel]

Rappelling gear.

Nothing to do with lowering things either

[Bald Eagle]

windmill pulley?

[Thenethiel]

windmill pulley?

Nope, should I shoot off some more hints?

[Bald Eagle]

[twisty]

Strap to tightent a load?

[Bernt-Inge]

Some kind of rope dispenser?

[Thenethiel]

compound bow?

You got it, don't have a picture of the whole thing but it's my 55# fiberglass bow.

It's the first decent thing I could find laying around in my room:p

[Bald Eagle]

You got it, don't have a picture of the whole thing but it's my 55# fiberglass bow.

It's the first decent thing I could find laying around in my room:p
Thanks, your clues gave it away, long shot, shoot off some more, well done. i havent used a compound in yrs, but the string looked very familiar.

[Bald Eagle]

i guess its my turn, one super macro coming up.

[Bald Eagle]

Here goes, not the easiest thing to do.

[Bald Eagle]

I'll give you a hint, it really improves your hearing.

[Thenethiel]

Bed time for me, maybe I'll get some inspiration on this one in my dreams:p

[Bald Eagle]

get plenty of rest, that way you'll have more energy to figure it out when you wake up fully rested.

[chakras]

don't tell me it is a stethescope ?

[Bald Eagle]

no, but you do get a real charge out of it.

[mg09]

You got it Angel, it is a bit of the fletching on an arrow. Looks like you are up.

I don't have a pic of the whole thing and my 20D is in getting a back focus issue dealt with. Maybe when I get back I will take a pic with my old Coolpix 990.
