Dandruff on a black sweater?


Nah, I don't know.

 

[Eyelight]

Not even close. But it is something we deal with every day.

Another easy one. 1:1 of a fairly common substance on a fairly common object. Need to know the substance and the type of object.

Dust on a polarizer filter.

It does look like dust.

Aww come on guys, it's been almost a month since the last post on this (rather excellent) thread and I'm itching to know what the dandruff is

 

[Scott Murray]

It was.....

Dust on a polarizer filter.

Let me see what else might be lying around here.

Here's an easy one.

Granite

Or plain sand.

Granite

Sorry. Not even close.

Or plain sand.

See. I told you it was an easy one. That's it. Good old natural sand. Here's an 889 pixel crop from the middle of the original which was shot near 1:1, I think.

 

[Scott Murray]

Granite is close its just hard packed sand haha

 

[Eyelight]

I think this is a new one. It's not what it looks like, unless of course it looks like what it is. Should be close to 1:1.

A little, teeny, tiny, mock-up of the water surface area of the Bermuda Triangle, where the S.S. Valdorianick went down with tonnes of Bullion? The light spot is a Moon reflection, as this was a night shot....

It looks like textured glass.

I really like that interpretation, but it's a bit less dramatic.

Wow! Thought it would take a little longer. Good eye.

We used to have a coffee table with a glass top made like that.
