The super-macro guessing game

that would be my guess too

I think you've got it. I had this on my mind in the shower this morning (I was think about Hobbes in the shower

) and was wondering if it was a box of straws. When I looked at it again I didn't think it was. I never thought of a bent straw!

Crap, I thought of a straw based on Hobbes clue but disregarded it since I couldn't make the image jive with the straw imnage in my head. Didn't even think about the bend.... DOH!

You got it! :cheer: It's the bendy straw that comes on juice boxes but the same thing.

And Ferny...what have I told you about thinking about me in the shower???? :lol:

Take the camera with me. Sorry, I forgot again.

I don't find this too hard, so I will dispense with the clues for a while.

Yes, I knew it was too easy. I had a hard time trying to get an area that would show enough to give a chance, but hard enough to be a challenge.

This is my kind of thread.

I've got to get in on this one, but sadly I'm at work at the moment. I'll see if I can come up with some super macros when I get home tonight.

On that note, I'm curious about something, I'm contemplating the reversed lens method you guys are using to add to my already really good super macro mode, but I see that you're using tape to attach the lens. I've been doing some research into marco photography and macro lenses and I've read there's something referred to as a coupling ring. From what I understand it supposedly allows you to couple the lenses together without the use of tape. Now I haven't heard anyone here mention that as of yet, just the tape method, so I was wondering why you guys prefer using tape or if any of you do use the ring? For me, I'd like to avoid the use of tape (if possible).

Oh yeah, before I forget. For those of you using the reverse lens method, what's a good lens to use? I'd like something that would work well with my Z3 if at all possible.

The tape is for us procrastinators that won't go out and buy a coupler ring.

The coupler is a better method because it keeps the reversed lens on better but the tape is cheap and easy.
