Guess My Macro Shot Game

[Saralonde]

Redrabbit posted a shot on the critique section http://digital-photography-school.com/forum/showthread.php?t=777 wondering if someone could guess what was in the picture. I thought it might make a fun game. Post a macro, close-up or cropped picture and let us guess what it is.

[drt205]

I will go first. This is a cropped section of a larger picture. Can you guess what it is?

[Demo24]

Ok these might be challenging. Especially the second one.

(note:I did modify this one to be sepia in color, it was originally colored. And its from Europe)

Demo24

Does your second picture have anything to do with hockey? Almost looks like a close-up of a puck.

[Oni]

I'm guessing, drt205, it's a rolled scarf.

Demo 24, I think both pictures are parts of tennis shoes.

[drt205]

I'm guessing, drt205, it's a rolled scarf.


Very good guess...but no.

[Digidave]

Demo24: The second one is a sticker for USA Canoe & Kayak Team. Is it on one of those plastic paddles or something?:confused:

I don't know exactly what that is, but it looks like an old couch I use to own. You know the one that everybody owned at one time. Old, beat-up, hole(s) in it, but you just can't give it up because it's sooooo comfortable!:D Is that stuffing material coming out of a hole?

A knitted 'faux fox' wrap? Wild random guess, but I know there's a knitting pattern for one that's been going around, because several people have put pictures up in the past little while. :)

[steevdavis62]

DRT205,
Is that perhaps a torn hesian sack?

Close enough! It's my racing canoe paddle made out of carbon fiber. I wanted to get more carbon fiber into the picture, but it made the picture way to dark.

The first picture is completely unrelated from the second picture. However it was in the house.


As for DRT205's submission, looks like a animal burrow of some kind?

WooooHoooo!!!!! I'm the first winner!!!!:D But I don't like to brag.:cool:

So Demo24, You one of those persons that goes down a river trying to avoid smashing your face into a boulder. You got more guts than I got! I'm one of those that likes to float down a creek in an innertube. Where the worse thing that can happen is your tube holding the beer gets tipped over.:eek:

Nope, I did flat water racing. Very skinny canoes(think 1ft in width) on a lake, paddling pretty hard.

That's good! So we can expect to see you here at DPS for a long time than.;)
By the way, try the "Get drunk while you float down a creek in an innertube" thing. You don't have to work so hard. The current will take you where you want to go.:D Take care!

A carolina wren nest entrance?

[drt205]

Good guesses...but it is the ear of a lion. My camera is a Rebel XT and I can't believe how detailed the photo is due to the megapixals. Even with cropping, I got vivid details of the hair in the ear.

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r62/dtreter/IMG_0790.jpg
To me it looks like the end of a Luffa (spelling?) sponge.

[Oni]

I was going to post a close-cropped picture of my donkey's nostril, but when I reviewed it, it looked just too obscene. And I don't want to develop that type of reputation so soon. (Maybe later);)

[googlit]

hah! I was going to guess some animal's ear. :)

you'll just have to take my word for it.

as for this:
http://webpages.charter.net/wavweb/swilr.jpg

I think it looks like the glaze on some form of pottery... maybe a wide bowl?

Bingo! It's a bowl from Spain. I can post a whole picture of it if wanted, its actually a neat looking bowl.

I made it b&w as in color it looked a little fuzzy, that part at the bottom thats not quite in focus due to the curvature really stood out when colored.

[Saralonde]

OK, this should be an easy one.

[jiminyClickit]

Saralonde,

First impression: hairdryer. Question: more info on play, do we guess yours before another photo goes up?

[Saralonde]

Guess there are no rules, huh? No, just give us a post! Play on. But I think we should post our answers within 24 hours if no one guesses.
BTW, not a hairdryer, but very close!

Hey, Learner,

Tag, you're it! But that's another game. This one is less fun when the power goes out. So I lost about 12 hours, and the world moves on.

So who's the old friend? Whatever it was wrapped in, the power inside was Mr. Nightlight Bulb . . .

See Reply #42 above, and prepare to be disappointed. Just playful clues.

your tricky clues tend to lead me away from the answers. :p

The clues are part of the game.

Image 2: thought top of metal building, then breadbox

[Faded_Mantis]

Image 1: Good guesses, but sorry, no...it's a bit more mechanical

Image 2: It's a building, but not a metal one... (if that helps)

[googlit]

is the second image that of a greenhouse or a hangar?

[Anna]

1st image looks like a start button of some sort
2nd image is possibly an awning ??

[Faded_Mantis]

That's right googlit. It's a greenhouse on my parents farm. The photo isn't that great, just a snap shot taken quickly. It's from the right hand bay of the greenhouse below, we have beef cattle, outdoor flowers for export and indoor ones in the greenhouse, and something like 8 arces of avocado's. All in all a 130acre property.

But I've also got this clue that it is a movable hinge-type thing like a carrying strap for a "thing" - warm?

[Faded_Mantis]

Ford Falcon? Can I PLEASE see a picture of the entire car? AU, is that Austria? Where do you live? We don't have Ford Falcons in the USA. That I know of anyways.

Ford Falcon is an Australian made car (I live in New Zealand which is not a part of Australia - contrary to popular belief) However the Australian made Ford Falcon and Holden Commadore are the 2 most popular large cars in both countries. Holden is part of GM. The Ford Falcon comes in a 4L I-6 engine (that's the one I own), 4L V6 Turbo, 5.0L V8 and a 5.6L V8 Turbo.

The AU is a model number. The AU was made form 1998-2002 (mine is a 2000 model), after the AU was the BA 2003-2006 and the BF late 2006+

Information on the history of the Falcon can be found here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Falcon).

Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:FordFalconAUII01.jpg) is the same model as the one pictured above (different car) year 2000-2001

Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:FordFalconAUIII01.jpg) is a 2001-2002 model

You are getting close. It is pollen, there is a purple flower in the shot, but the black object is not a flower.

According to this website (http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/butterfly/anatomy/), this is actually called the proboscis.

Is it a shot looking inside the ear of a tiny creature, like a hamster or gerbil?

I guessed a fuzzy animal ear, like a gerbil or hamster. This is my second try, but I'm new to this website and I don't think the first reply was in the right place. Sorry, if it comes up twice.

[jiminyClickit]

sunnyside, Welcome

Have a look at post #101: see the rectangle on the duck's butt? That was the answer (pretty tough!) and we probably need to find a way to make that clearer. Do you have a macro photo you think will be hard to guess?

It is the false "eye" of a hawkmoth Caterpillar - caught him munching my precious fuchsias on Sunday!

Wow, it really does look like he's got a little kiwi fruit tattoo on his head :p

[Penny]

Hi Nicole,
They are amazing creatures! I have also seen them called Elephant caterpillars - not only for their majestic size - this is compared to my left index finger...an' I aint a li'l girl!:D

but also when they are unstressed they extend the front segments on the head in a very pachyderm-like manner - like so...(this is a younger cousin captured a few weeks ago)

Wow, very interesting :) Those are some large caterpillars! And very interesting looking as well. Thanks for posting those shots with the explanation :) Learn something new every day.

Lets see if you guys can guess this one.

[Penny]

Looks like those amazing fold-out paper bells etc for decorating rooms at Christmas time?

[Dragonfly:)]

Very very close but I think I will have to give it to you. They are actually paper sombrero's on straws that we used to decorate for a Fiesta Celebration that we did for Girl Scouts.

good guess. I have not figured out flickr just yet. I dont see a need to mark my photos private but is there a better way to get the hyper link for the photos? I end up clicking that "size" button and there is the link can you find it else where?

Looks like it may be a filtration system for a swimming pool.

Dragonfly, it is not a drain.

Haha...that's funny...I just got one of these for my birthday a few days ago and when I checked out your post I had no idea what it was! :)

Well, I think its a flower. However, I sucked at botany and would never even be able to figure out the name. So, I say its a pink flower. Genus Pinkus Flowerus.

[Dragonfly:)]

I said it would be easy. I just thought it was a cool picture. I took this with my telephoto lens from my car pulled over by the side of the road. :) Here is the full size picture.

That is nice. Amazing how much detail you got from the original photo when you cropped it. Did you shoot that through the open car window or did you actually get out?

[Dragonfly:)]

I was waiting on the side of the road for another car to catch up with me and actually saw a dear right off the road and grabbed my camera to take the picture of her. Seeing how if I got out of the car she would run, I rolled the window down and snapped a couple of pictures of her and then noticed the flower so I snapped a couple of pictures just to see how well it might do. I was very excited when the pictures came out so well. I was as supreised as you when the detail came out so well when I cropped it.

I'm sure you have the information somewhere on the forums...but can you tell me what you shoot with? Body & lens?

My kit is in my signature, BTW.

[Dragonfly:)]

I would love to give you my camera info I am currently using a Olympus Evolt E-500 DSLR Double Lens Kit inc. Zuiko 14-45 and 40-150. I have tried to put it in my bio like you have yours but have not succeeded yet. :)

[Saralonde]

Dragonfly, go to the User CP in the bar at the top of the page, click on it and you'll see Control Panel, Settings and Options, then Edit Signature. Click that and you'll be at the page where you can add things.

[Dragonfly:)]

Thank you I think I got it. :)

[Jack]

That's a nice camera outfit. I was considering that for a while, but chose the Pentax instead. I know someone who swears by the Olympus cameras. He has produced some very nice shots...and sometimes with almost no effort.

[Dragonfly:)]

Yes I have really enjoyed it and have taken some really amazing photos. This set is not the one I originaly wanted, but they were sold out of the other one so i went ahead and got this one and have really enjoyed it. And you are right sometimes it seems like no effort went into some of the pictures.

Dragonfly, I'm so happy you posted that. My E-500 should be in my hands tomorrow (unless the company I ordered it from screwed up yet again - but that's another rant for another forum), and my best friend (who owns the E-300 I've been borrowing for the last month) called me tonight to let me know that a) he found it for $50 less (on clearance, since the E-510 just came out) and b) he just read a Consumer Reports article on DSLRs and Olympus rated the lowest on their lenses out of everyone.

Great. Way to rub salt in the wounds (again, long story); I think he's just jealous because I'm turning out to be the better photographer with his camera ;) But I'm always happy to see some great shots with the camera I'm still having an anxiety attack about getting ;)

[Richard Britt]

Thingy good guess - the first one is a finger print :D but the second on is not a lens, it is hwoever something you touch with your finger tips.:rolleyes:

[matthewchj]

Camera hand grip?

[Richard Britt]

No not a camera grip - one more clue - It is something you touch everytime you come to this web page.

[Saralonde]

Letter on a keyboard?

[Richard Britt]

Close enough. It is the middel 1/8th of the "B" key on my portible. The grooves in the macro shoot give the key a satin look. The white paart in the upper left corner is the lower half of the "B". The Canon 100mm Macro Lense can realy get down close and personal. Even a after cropping the image filled the computer screen at 1024x768 res.

Sorry I know longer have full scale image. :rolleyes:

Yup, any guesses on which part?

G

[Saralonde]

Maybe it's eye?

[thingy]

That'll do for me! Its a giant moth I captured on a p&s in Thailand a couple of years ago. It was bigger than my hand!!! (which is also quite big).

http://www.photonaturally.com/pgall/_DPS/big.jpg

G

[Saralonde]

Wow! How close were you to that thing?

[thingy]

Probably too close :) I just kept getting closer as it wasn't moving. I was expecting it to turn and face me at any moment and reveal a huge pointy teeth lined mouth and engulf the camera, my hand and my head too!

Here are a couple of regular snapshots of these beasts:

[jiminyClickit]

thingy,

Looks like something you'd take to a dog groomer. One reason, also, that you didn't get a response right away is that the previous one had not been guessed. It got confusing before to have more than one "mystery macro" up.

(Did this thing have a collar on it, with tags?)

[thingy]

Jiminy :D There were actually loads of them hanging amongst a rack of hanging leaves which you can see on the other shot. With there wings closed they were so well camouflaged that we didnt even know they were there. Only on closer inspection (curious why they had a bunch of large leaves hanging up) did one move and we realised (that we should run for our lives! its an ambush!!) The macro one was just clinging to a nearby fence.

G

[jiminyClickit]

thingy,

Hurray for curiosity! Thanks for broadening our knowledge of insects (without actually having to be there!).

[thingy]

Thailand is one of those places where you don't really get a choice, the insects tend to just invite themselves over. Although I never got a shot (too busy jumping around) I saw the biggest cockroach ever clinging to the curtains of my hostel room in Bangkok, which was easily the length of the palm of my hand with antenna thingies as long as my fingers. Truely disturbing :( Had to chase it into the bathroom where it met its demise after a long and hard fought battle!

Mental note to not visit Thailand ... I HATE roaches. *shudder*

[thingy]

LOL...well the bad news is that any relatively hot country generally has cockroaches...the hotter the bigger in my experience!

G

[velvet4269]

Yeah, sadly, we get 'em pretty big down here in Texas ... okay, maybe not as big as, say, a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, but still ... I've seen 2"-3" guys skitter under my fridge (much to my dismay), and gotten rid of more than my fair share in the last 10 years. :( :(

[thingy]

What is it with cockroaches and fridges? They seem to love them. Maybe its the heat around the back.

Anyways :) Would anyone like to post another macro?

[thingy]

Close enough to poke him in the eye! Although it was the size of a golf ball.......okay just joking but it was huge. You will absolutely love Thailand. As long as you can put up with a bit dirt and grime here and there, the country is stunningly beautiful from all the temples and ruins to the differing landscapes. I always said I would return at the drop of a hat! 3 1/2 wks wasnt nearly enough.

I had to pull out one of my own to look, and the first one I pulled out of the jar was a 1945 wheat back ;)

But I looked on a few others, and sure enough, the little guy is there - nearly worn off on a few, difficult to see on all but the brightest of pennies, but he's there.

I'm thinking an eye of an Elephant or Hippopotamus emerging from the water. Nice shot.

You mentioned "Treasure" in Flickr, so seems surface of some metal container?

This thread needs a gimmick.

Palachandra,

Sorry about time lapse, downtime sucks, unavoidably.

This is the original, so you'll have to use your imagination: it's a macro of the bottom of a plastic 16-ounce Coke bottle, filled with water, set in window during sunset. If you think about clouds and blue sky, sun on right side, you'll see it.

Wow Jiminy, that's a really creative set-up!

Teewinot,

Original idea was "bottled sunshine" (Winter is near) and then I was struck by the metallic look Palachandra mentioned.

[Palachandra]

JC, Really creative..

Ok... my turn. I was trying to learn Macro stuff during vacation and this is one that I didn't toss. Do you know what it is? Too easy?

Looks like a piece of grass down an ant hole.

[Sixgunsam]

Got in late, but drt205 pic looks like a Teddy Bear's ear. <);-}

[jrtmurph]

Ok I guess that was wayyyyyyy to easy. It was fun though... did you catch the ant in the picture? I thought it was pretty cool, but then I'm very new with photography and TRYING to get some creativity. Try, try again.

The center of a flower?

[Shelly Sometimes]

Sort of close...but no cigar. :)

[thingy]

Looks like the end of an acorn ... or maybe part of a pineapple? (getting desperate there)

[Shewolfe]

looks like a pine cone or a dried pod.

[Shelly Sometimes]

There you go! It's a pine cone. :)
