Basically, Trayce must have cheated. I say that jokingly, but I’m not entirely convinced it’s untrue. She managed to guess that the object was in fact a Bible cover. It could have been leather for any of a thousand things, but she nailed it. That’s just crazy.

She will be added to the page of winners soon. To keep up with when these games are happening you should to subscribe or follow me on Twitter.

I can see I’ll have to make the next one even tougher…

Guess What It Is!

Guess What It Is!

I got my macro extension tube recently. It lets me get ridiculously close to things. This is my first “Guess What It Is” post since it arrived. Now that I can make things more difficult, maybe I’ll start offering prizes.

You can see previous objects and who guessed them on the Page of Winners, and you might find the page of tips and rules useful. Guessing ends Sunday June 6th at 5PM (Eastern)

Well, Matt guessed it. Although, he wasn’t as specific as he could have been. His guess was “TS/TRS connector either 1/4 or 1/8th inch.” and it was an 1/4th inch TRS connector.

Will was also pretty close to right, but it wasn’t part of a guitar cable, it’s part of a 1/8th to 1/4th inch adapter.

Sorry this was a little late. I forgot we had Jr/Sr High guys Bible Study today. Matt will soon be added to the Page of Winners. If you want to know when these games are happening, you can want to subscribe or follow me on Twitter.

Guess What It Is!

Here we go again! I haven’t gotten a new lens for my camera yet, but I did manage to get a little closer. Future posts should be even closer because I ordered a nifty little device that will allow me to take super-close macros with my dSLR. I’ll post about that device, along with a brief review, once it arrives.

For now, take a guess! I used my Point-and Shoot (Canon A710IS) to take this shot, if that helps at all. You can look up previous objects and who guessed them on the Page of Winners, and you might find the page of tips and rules helpful. Guessing will end Sunday (05/16/10) at 2PM Eastern.

Finally…

*Movie announcer voice* This Summer! It’s the movie you’ve been waiting for your entire life. Critics are raving. Bla, bla, bla.

Okay, so it’s not a huge deal. I’ve finally started working on my digital photography video series. We’ll be talking about exposure compensation, and I even got way better lighting. I hope to have the video up within the next week.

Stay tuned.

It was a drill bit

This is a tough one to judge. Megan got the answer first, but she wasn’t very specific. Kim came in next with a more specific answer.

I’m going to say Kim won since she was the first to guess it exactly. I’d be more concerned with getting it exactly right if the contest was harder. This one was pretty easy, though, so I don’t think it matters.

She’ll be added to the Page of Winners soon. If you want to keep up to date on the latest games, you might want to subscribe or follow me on Twitter.

My New Phone

I took this video shortly after I got my new phone, but YouTube decided it wanted to be mean. Anyway, this video perfectly explains one of my favorite features on my new phone.

You know you’re jealous.

Anxiety

I’m writing this post for two reasons. The first is that something has just been bugging me and I wanted to explain it. The second is that I’m hoping it might help someone else. Continued…

Guess What It Is!

Guess What It Is!

It’s that time again! Time to play the nifty guessing game. This one might be a bit easier. I need to get a macro lens for my camera so I can get closer to stuff.

Anyway, post your guesses. This one will end tomorrow (04/05/10) at 5PM. You can check out the Page of Winners to see what I’ve already used. You might also find it helpful to check out the tips and rules.

Excellence – Part 3

...a really old photo I took...I’ve been really busy over the last three days and haven’t had any time to continue this series. Actually, I just got back from sitting in on some classes at PBU and I’ve written down ideas for something like four posts I’m planning on writing soon. I mention this just in case you thought I had disappeared again. Continued…
