A fun thing on another forum

[Ron Evers]

On another forum not related to photography I started a series of "What is This" for folks to identify. It has become popular with many folks there. The first pic would be a very close shot & then after some guessing another shot backed off & then another until the subject was identified. Here are some of the "first shots" taken with an old Minolta "mc" mount 55mm/1.7 plus extension tubes on my Panasonic G1.


1. frosted corn flake

2. a peppercorn

3. aluminum shavings off a drill bit

4. steel dust on a magnet

5. a rat tail file

All the above were identified, some even on the first pic.

It really is a shame that the "other forum" is down more lately than it's up. They need some serious help over there lately.

Here are a few without answers then:


6.

7.

8.

9.

It was not my intention to start a contest here but to show the use of an old legacy lens on a modern micro four thirds (m4/3) camera.

#8 is some form of shell

number9...is it a hose?
8 appears to be a sand dollar...
my only guess for 7 is those metal things that divide carpet and tile in houses....not sure what theyre called...but I dont think my guess is right anyhoo so it doesnt matter...
and number 6....WTF?!

 

[CW Jones]

aw crap sand dollar! thats the name I couldn't think of! haha

#6 looks like meted carmelized sugar or a scab....best not to taste it.
#7 looks very familiar, looks like something Ive owned, just cant conceptualize it

 

[nickisonfire]

Is 7 a chain of finishing nails? Like ones you would put into a nail gun?

#6 looks like a giant glob of ear wax, but I don't think that's what it is...
