Archive for the 'What am I?' CategoryGuess what the picture is of
I gave my new Sigma "Bigma" 50-500mm superzoom a shot in the dark (so to speak) yesterday evening, and while looking through the results today, came across this throw-away shot of a spotlight at a rock garden. The photo is wholly unremarkable except for some very weird indistinct wavy parallel tracks that can be seen [...]

This is a photo from or snowy New Year trip, which I last wrote about the other day in "Snowy Farewell to Gokayama Village", which ended up with us arriving in Gokayama Village's much more famous thatched-house sibling, Shirakawago Village. I'd originally intended to full post, but am running out of time this evening, so [...]

Well, my previous stone-related "What am I?" quiz was apparently too difficult for everyone, so here's a softy.... I found this stone lantern among the hundreds of odd-shaped and beautiful stone carvings in the gardens behind the Nishimura Stone Lanterns workshop. Those familiar with the Star Wars™ world (or with the vast array of Star [...]

So, I didn't stump anyone in my previous "Fairly Dirty What am I? Quiz", and probably won't this time either, but while in the back gardens behind the Nishimura Stone Lanterns workshop, amid the bounty of photogenic beauty of 800 years worth of stone carvings, I came across the above assemblage of stone (granite, I [...]

I was out with Paul Barr (he of the dubious camera-stabilization technique ) and came across a sight that he suggested would make a good "What am I?" Quiz, and I readily agreed. Continued here... (though, here's a direct link to the answer).

I don't think I'll require nine separate posts to cover the third day of our recent trip to Japan's Ishigaki Island in the East China Sea, but we'll see. I'll start out Day Three with a little quiz.... A few miles off the south-west coast of Ishigaki Island is the tiny Taketomi Island, known for [...]

Well, I fear this will continue the string of uninspired "What am I?" quizes I've had lately, but it's worth a try. (Comments are moderated, so answers won't show up publicly until I get up tomorrow morning.)

What am I? (This one is lame, I know, sorry. Comments are moderated, so answers won't show up publicly until I get up tomorrow morning.)

Out for a walk in the countryside today, I came across something I'd never seen before. If you don't know what it is, can you guess?

Well, this is perhaps a pretty lame "What am I?" quiz, but I'll offer the hint (or stumbling block, as the case may be) that I tilted the camera while taking this shot. (For what it's worth, I also artificially enhanced the blue background in Lightroom, to match the strength of the foreground colors.) Owing [...]

Well, I feel a bit iffy about this for a "What am I?" quiz, but let's try it and see how it goes....

The quiz in my previous post doesn't count as one of my "What am I?" quizzes, so I thought I'd post one of those as well. I had originally planned to spend the day chipping away at the mountain of email I have awaiting my attention, but instead I went out and took 1,000 photos, [...]

Today's "quiz" is sort of fake.... those familiar with Japan will be able to figure it out within a few seconds, while those who aren't won't get it at all. I'm putting it here just because those few seconds of trying to figure it out can be a bit eerie. That odd feeling is sort [...]

I'm traveling back to Ohio today, so no time to show all 600 pictures I took yesterday, but here's one. What is it? (Looking at the "full exif & map" link gives a strong clue, so no guessing after having looked.) The answer is given here.

This was a situation where the shallow depth of field was way, way too shallow This one should be easy, but if not, check the "full exif & map" link for a hint.
