Guess the macro image

20 years ago

I have seen this done on other photography boards and it's a lot of fun. I'll start by posting part of an image. I'll appear as a macro image. It's up to you to guess what it is and what's it a part of. The person who guesses correctly posts their super macro image. When the image is properly guessed, you have to show the original that it came from, then pass the thread on to the person who guessed correctly. That person shows their macro image and let's the winner know if they're right, then shows the original image. And so on....

So, if you would like to try guessing, here is my super macro. Do you know what it is?

Debby,

Here's a wild guess. The edge of a coin?

Guess the height of the ceilings in these images?

The kitchen in the second picture has an 8 ft ceiling. I see 3 tiles plus a bullnose tile between counterp and upper cabinet. Assuming 18" between countertop and bottom of upper cabinets, those aqua tiles must be 4 inch tiles. Figure 4 and 1/8 inch per tile once you add on the space the grout line takes up. Then, I count 14 tiles from ceiling to countertop in the second pic. So 14 x 4.13 is about 58 inches. Add 36 inches for lower cabinets gives 94 inches. An eight foot ceiling would be 96 inches so that's pretty close. I think the bottom two pics show a 9 foot ceiling. The upper cabinets against the back wall are divided into two segment. The "display" part at the top is tall enough to hold a decorative plate turned on edge...so probably 12 to 16 inches. The closed part of the upper cabinet appears to be the same height as the base cabinets which are usually right at 36 inches. So 36" for base, 18" for space between uppers and lowers, 36" for uppers and 12 to 16" for display section at top of uppers puts you over 8 foot but not close to 10 ft. My guess is that the portion of the ceiling where the pendant lights attach is 10 ft high and that the soffits are about 14 inches deep to allow room for HVAC ductwork to run. Hope this helps.

I would never have guessed bamboo but then I have really never seen bamboo close enough to examine it.

A button, or maybe a thread?

How 'super' of a macro IS this photo?

Give us one more hint, or maybe a slightly larger photo...

"It keeps parts taught and secure"

Did you mean the past tense of teach (tought)?
or (taut) to draw tight.

How about a girdle LOL.

Oh man, Eric. One of the words you used in your question could be part of what this is. It is very macro. I didn't want to give too much away. I'll post a larger section of it.

This should make it somewhat easier.... I think...

It's not a shoe or part of a shoe. Or a hat. Or a jacket.

Corsett? Life jacket?

It's 'wearable', but what else is it used for?

Let's just say it could be used in a tense situation...... If this hint doesn't help, I'll show you what it is and change my picture. I have one that will be easier to figure out.

Eric is right. A carpul tunnel wrist brace! Here is the orignal picture. Eric, it's now your turn to post a macro, and whoever guesses correctly, is next, and so on......

This is a Tensor brand carpul tunnel brace that I wear.

I should have known what that was. My daughter had to have surgery on both hands for carpel tunnel. Both at the same time!
