No 2 is a flint striker wheel from a lighter...

No 5 looks like the edge of roofing with slow shutter and water.....

No 6 is an egg yolk...cold....

No 3 is the plunger on a ball point pen with the clip broken off....

Gladd I am busy....

I reckon #1's a watermelon seed and #6 is the little dot on the side of an M series lens to help you line it up. No idea about #2-4 though!

So what did you use to get this close? Looks like more than 1:1 to me...

Some good answers already, I won't say yay or nay just yet though. Keep the guesses coming.

Hefty I used My Pentax A 100mm with a Pentax 50mm 1.7 reversed stacked onto it.

Agree with Hefty - Watermelon for No 1,

No 5 looks like a serrated cutter for cling film or similar (???)

No 3 looks like a bleed valve (???)

No 4 could be a sanding disk or newsprint.

I reckon at least one of them is a clitoris, whatever the hell that is.
Or a Vegemite sandwich. I dunno. I've had a few reds, so they all look the same to me....

Aye, No 3 looks like a schrader valve or HP cycle tyre valve.

Good pictures. I got all trying to work out what the first one was - Oooer Missus

I don't think I'd have ever guessed the cable release!

Nice work Clarky

I doubt I would have got any of those, we had a Camera Club member used to take stuff like this and we had a quiz once a year, her stuff allthough good, wasn't a patch on these.
