Ok, attempt at new OT game... What is it???

Not sure if this has been done before... What is it?

You take your digicam, put it in macro mode, snap a shot of something and post it. Whoever guesses what it is goes next, etc... Don't take pics of your, well, you know :) Sound good, lame? Let's try...

?????????

EDIT: Rules

1) Make it semi-common. At least something we all have seen at least once. The fun is in getting close enough to obscure it, not taking a pic of something people have never seen.
2) More to come I guess...

If I knew how to use my Canon A40 then I'd be all over this.

How is macro mode different than zooming in 3x and taking a pic?

No diff. Does not have to be in macro mode. Go for it :)

Going next Millennium?

Yeah, I can zoom in, but how do I enter macro mode on the A40?

Hit the focus mode button until it cycles to macro mode (the flower icon). The other modes are portrait (person icon) and landscape (mountain-like icon). Don't have the camera in front of me so that's the best I can do from memory.

Cool thanks.

Maybe I should RTFM one of these days.
