Time to play.... "What the Hell is that??"

[F.Gordon]

Just for fun... doing bunches of macro snaps. Decided I need to learn how to "stack" shots to get a decent one... until then... "What the hell is that????"

[lakemonster11]

1. Well...if I had to guess...

I'd say the first one is pizza and the last one is human skin.

Other than that...no idea.

[Boo_Radley]

2. Agree, and 3 is a . . .

Pinecone

Edit: and is 2 an iron?

[mogster]

3. The last one is the pizza

Come on? :shrug:

[TahitiNut]

4. Agreed. Pizza, grater, pinecone, Ruffles, skin (ear?).

:shrug:

[NV Whino]

5. Well...

1. chicken
2. collendar
3. pinecone
4. potato chip
5. skin, probably a hand

[F.Gordon]

6. No one is 5 for 5 yet

:evilgrin:

Close... but no Ceeeegar.

[Blue_In_AK]

7. I would say bacon in the first one,

a pine cone for the third, and maybe your hand in the fifth, but I have no idea what the other two are.

Oh, wait, is number 4 a ridged potato chip?

[Boo_Radley]

8. Cheese, sink drain stopper, pinecone, potato chip, human skin

? Eh?

[Blue_In_AK]

9. CHEESE???

Melted, I assume.

[Blue_In_AK]

10. May I ask what macro lens you are using?

And if my resident Santa Claus should ask me what's up next on my wish list, what should I tell him? Raging has already recommended the 100 mm macro. Does anyone disagree with that?

[F.Gordon]

11. The "Ragin" 100 mm f/2.8 bug ass

Which you can't go wrong with. An excellent lens. But... even though I'm completely done "buying glass" I'm considering selling it and getting the new EF-S 60mm f/2.8 bug ass. Hearing and "seeing" great things bout' it. It only works on EF-S camera bodies (which your camera is). My one complaint with the 100mm is that it's a tough walkabout lens to work with. With the 1.6 digital crop it's like using a 160mm lens.

Now.. I'm an advocate of using prime lenses cause they force ya to work with that focal length but I've found myself cursing on more than one occasion when I was using the 100mm cause I'd be in a situation that called for a shorter focal thingee. And I'd end up switchin to the 50mm (if I had it with me) But... since you are one of the great resident Landscape/Nature photogs here maybe you'd be better off with the 100mm.
:shrug:

I know nothing about bug ass photography other than what I've been learning through my own screw ups. Have been using my trusty matte black foam board to snap on cause "light" is a major issue. Trying to get it consistent like. Trying different light sources. Tonight I have a few stacking projects I need to work on.

Uh oh. Excessive Coffee Alert.. warning... warning....
Step away from the keyboard.

Edit? Change word to use the correct term. That's Bug Ass with a "B"

[RagingInMiami]

12. My guesses

1. pizza
2. soul of your shoe?
3. pine cone
4. Styrofoam?
5. palm of your hand

[Ms. Toad]

13. My guess:

1. Pizza (or shrimp and something else alfredo)
2. Grater
3. Pine Cone
4. Ridged potato chip
5. Skin

(Klutzy finger edit)

[FM Arouet666]

14. Great Pics, A few guesses

1. Peach Cobbler
2. Grater
3. Pine Cone
4. Potato Chip
5. Skin

Macro is hard, I spent part of the day shooting Macro. Many ideas, not many good pics.

[F.Gordon]

17. That's been my problem

"Many ideas, not many good pics."

It is hard. It's one thing to get close... it's quite another to do something interesting.

[ConsAreLiars]

15. Well, 1,4 and ,5 are clearly candidates in the

"Yukkies" (Your Ugliest Kreepy Krawly Images Ever Snapped) contest. Not sure about the others.

[F.Gordon]

16. The "Yukkies"?

:spray:

It's pretty digusting when you see things real close like... especially things you eat.

[F.Gordon]

18. The answers.... (T-Nut pretty much nailed it)

It was interesting to "see" what everyone "saw". Sorry that I dragged it on so long.
:evilgrin:

1. Pizza
2. An old punched tin hand lantern
3. Pine Cone
4. Potato Chip
5. The top of my hand.. actually a vein in my hand. I had an even "yukkier" snap of my hand... showing all those spots... well, let's just say that growing old sucks.

Thanks for playing everyone.
:hi:

[intheflow]

19. I'm sorry I didn't see this in time to play.

I would have guessed steak or pork chop fat, sewer grate, pine cone, quilt batting, and skin. Reading through the other photo groupies answers I though the ones saying the first was pizza were waaaaaaaaaaay off. :blush: And I didn't really have any idea on the second shot, but Ishould have guessed you'd sneak an antique in there knowing Mrs. FG's affinity for them. :)

[alfredo]

20. my first "macro" with a digital

I enhanced the color a bit.

[BeTheChange]

21. Sponge .. nt :)

[alfredo]

22. Correct. It's an old one I used for

wheat pasting anti bush posters.
