Macro guess what it is... - The Firearms Forum

Crpdeth · 02-21-2009, 08:36 PM

When I posted that pic of the "coon bone" I started remembering how in a particular magazine that my parents subscribed to, that as a kid I loved to turn to the back page where they would have taken a macro shot of a random object and you had to guess what it is.

Well, my good camera bit the dust a while back so I am stuck with a little pocket camera for now and the macro abilities leave a little to be desired, but I came across this "object" while going through my daily chores today and wondered if you could guess what it is.

Looks like a pickle slice...or maybe a different veggie

Xaiver56 · 02-21-2009, 11:03 PM

pineapple?

Pistolenschutze · 02-21-2009, 11:07 PM

The track of a three-toed sloth? Wait!

Those are extinct!

Would you believe . . . the paw print of a baby 'dillo?

Popgunner · 02-21-2009, 11:23 PM

Some kind of cheese?

artabr · 02-21-2009, 11:31 PM

Pickle slice with the ridges ( Ruffles have ridges type ridges

A sand dollar

Thanks for the laugh this morning!

Lori Mick · 02-22-2009, 06:23 AM

looks like a 6 fingered hand so I'm going to say it's some sort of animal foot or hand or claw...?

or

what Glock said...

armedandsafe · 02-22-2009, 03:54 PM

I saw one of them once. Came down out of his spaceship and asked....uuuuh, ne'er mind.

Without looking at anybodies answer first, my guess is a piece of plywood, or some other pine product.

Ok, now I looked and saw that you didn’t give out the answer, so I’ll stick with that answer.

RunningOnMT · 02-22-2009, 04:26 PM

It's either the mask of a Big Bird costume or three piles of dog poop on a yellow carpet.

pinecone70 · 02-22-2009, 04:26 PM

It's absolutely pickle-colored! LOL!

RunningOnMT · 02-22-2009, 04:35 PM

Wait, now I see what Lori saw...there is definately a hand there...can see the fingernail in the upper right hand corner...but what is over it....something like a yellow cellophane?

Crpdeth · 02-22-2009, 05:40 PM

This was too much fun!

I was disappointed that King nailed it in only seven minutes, but had fun with some of the other responses. I definitely have to try this again sometime.

I wish I had a nice surprise to send out to the winner like Tim would, but I am poor folk.

Man, I wish I could remember, I was thinking National Geographic, but I was pretty young.
