I regularly read a website devoted to Pentax which includes a forum. It includes photos others have taken, reviews of lenses and equipment, and just general discussions of photography. One recent thread is a game where a photo is posted and folks try to guess what the subject is. Most of the photos are cropped from a larger photo showing just a portion of the object. Whoever guesses correctly posts the next photo and the game begins again.
After guessing correctly that a shot was a closeup of a cantaloupe it was my turn to post. I taped one lens so that the front of it was against the front of the lens on the camera and began taking photos of various objects in the room. I decided on this shot of the tuning gear of my charango, an andean stringed instrument with ten strings. Click on the image to see other shots at my Flickr site.
