Eyeball Benders are photographs of common objects from an uncommon perspective (close-up, unusual camera angle, etc.). Its a regular feature in Games Magazine and I'm quite a fan of this puzzle. For us photographers, its an exercise on Macro photography and creative perspectives as we present something so common in the most uncommon view. So in this lazy Saturday afternoon, I got my camera and ventured to look for common objects to make my own eyeball benders. Here's a sample, try to guess what this is. Its quite simple but it gets harder.

Rael, yes 100% correct.
#66 - electric toothbrush of my son before he used it.
#67 - Old Tag Heuer watch
#68 - toothpicks in a circular container.

I just can't figure your eyeball bender if its a switch of toy with the fiber optic lights or a switch to a basic penlight.

No problem chelo. Its only obscene to those who think obscene (unfortunately there's a lot of them out there:D ). Post some more eyeball benders.

oops... it has already been answered. sorry :Grin:

That's okay sheila, I have a pen that looks just like that, but of course with the ballpoint inside.:D

To all future posters of Eyeball Benders, please capture macro images of common items so that we can have a fair chance of guessing what it is! Hindi na ako makatulog kakaisip kung ano yon! Keep on Posting, guys!

1) roll of tissue paper

2) bottled iced tea (not sure of the brand)

was just wondering what photo category 'a69' and 'theveed' are on your photobucket account?

next: i shot this in my office.. :) almost every office has this (except mine is modified):

http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/2232/eb02ev8.jpg

Nino: Galing ah hehe...

I don't get the second question, though... "theveed" is my forum/net alias in other forums. The a69, I think it's just a folder structure thing in photobucket. Not sure if it's a category.

Nino: Galing ah hehe...

sorry was just out of curiosity, just noticed 'theveed' on the link add on your photobucket account, thought it was a sub-album and wondered why you named it so.

Can't imagine if this is a tomato or something. I think I really need to get glasses. I'll wait for others to try guessing first.

if Aly sees this, he will be up all night... again! hehe :Grin:

Galing, you all got it right...

2 is a highlighter, yes, stabilo... 5 is the earphone of a sony ericson headset hehe.

We should compile all our eyeball benders and have Nick feature this in the DPP magazine. Or we'll just publish a book (problema lang ang royalties sa book, patayan siguro tayo!).

That would be nice if these will be published on the future DPP issues :)

Will post my benders again tomorrow. I gotta get some shuteye now :)

Hey, guys! Look at the abstract entries for the photo contest of DPP. Parang mga eyeball benders (except for "Enter the Dragon" entry). Pwede pala tayo sumali with our Eyeball Benders!!!! Dapat talaga i-feature yung thread natin!! Calling Nino and Nick!

You're good Carlo, you got 2 of the items right, but you missed one. Should I give the answers now? :Grin:

Alex is it a salt shaker for the 1st image? :D

Alex is it a salt shaker for the 1st image? :D

Galing mo Roro, ok Gentlemen you got it, Carlo's answers for the second pic was scissors - correct and the contact points of an SD card for the third picture. Although it's a Kingston 1 Gb SD card not a Toshiba but still the same memory card. :Grin:

was thinking of it as a salt shaker but thinking that the holes were too big hehe :) My toshiba SD card is also in blue. hehe :)

Mitz, you got it so fast. Gone in 60 seconds :Grin:

Alex, I guess you have to make it more challenging for us. I suggest more magnified Macro and find a different/uncommon perspective that would elude us from guessing it too quickly. Post some more!!!!

Ok Aly, I'll try to look for some more things different/uncommon :). Most probably after the weekend. I'll do it as a homework :Grin:.

Now this is a bit better!

I'm not sure with the first one but its a nailclipper for the second and makeup brush or a painter's brush for the third one.

that was quick, i guess the first item is... a snap? i dont know hehe .... i agree with sir aly's guesses for the 2nd and third...

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/102/405500018_5ca7f09c8c_m.jpg


is it a thread spool? :Thinking:

a base of a makeup?

:Grin:Ok for number two yes indeed it is a nail cutter/nail clipper, then the third one it's a shaving foam brush that I use to clean my camera body with, Ka Pepe gave me the pointers in using this brush and finally the first picture is....the top of an aerosol can to be exact spray paint. You can see the white smudges. Thanks to Aly, Carlo, Malou, Jun, Chelo and Raymond for guessing. Tama si Jun baka hindi pa makatulog iba sa atin sa kakaisip kung ano ito. Meron bang iba dyan? Ako naman huhula. :)

aerosol can.. tsk tsk tsk.. thats a tough one.. :)

It must be part of a glass lamp base since the reflection gives some sort of a light source on top. And since the object in the background seems to have a similar shape, these two lamps with capiz shades were taken in the living room in between a matching sofa. Oks ba ang imagination? elementary by dear watson (tapos mali pala, hehehe)

I think Roro and Raymund must be right however if not a pineapple, it must a new Pizza topping of Greenwich pizza. I think the yellow is melted cheese. Or perhaps this eyeball bender is another fruit like a Langka or something.

If its a speedometer as Nino said, what car would Kendall be driving? Hmmmm... Modified instrumentation kaya ng Honda Civic or is it a Nissan xtrail centered instrument panel?

Pineapple flavor pizza perhaps Aly hehehe :)

Hahaha... That's my daughter's favorite flavor but I don't think it looks anything like this!

chess pieces. bishop??. the background could be a king/queen

Kendall, they look like colored picture frames. Definitely not straws, as the hard plastic can be seen on the curved corners.

Let me try also. I'll start with an easy one..

Hi, Taks!! I'm up early to wake up my children who are always late for school.

The legs look like a Manfrotto but I guess I have a cheaper model of a ballhead that's why I couldn't recognize it. Hahaha.....:)

Hahaha yeah you're right there Aly :D

Hey, Kendall, is Roro right about the colored hangers?


Any more creative posters out there? C'mon guys, this is an exercise for your Macro photography skills and imagination. To reiterate the mechanics, take a picture of an ordinary household object in a different perspective but at the same time leaving enough clues in the image for one to be able to assimilate and guess! Let's make this thread a worthy article in the DPP magazine. Abstracts, get it? hehehe....:Grin:

Will try to post my contribution later Aly. I'll ask my friends to post too :)

sorry guys, i'm out for a few days,

I think the first one is a car mat?

@sir carlo, u got item 2, exact description.

@sir nap, it's not a car mat.

Kendall, You're very good in making these eyeball benders. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/160/408730468_c56d54d793.jpg
The twisted energy saving light bulb looks so good even in its photographic technical merits as you can distinctly see the details of the bulb. Mabuti na lang nahulaan ni Carlo kung hindi another sleepless night for me. :Grin:

it's a kitchen sink:)

The 2nd object looks like one of those kitchen defrosters. Or maybe a grill. (?)

Thanks sir Aly.

Here's a bigger protion of item 1
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/128/415204221_c253ad66d4.jpg

@Sir Nino,
It's a part of kitchen but not a kitchen sink.

@Mam Pia,
Still up? it seems you cant sleep. Sorry for that. :)

I have posted a bigger portion of it already. Will reveal some more...

@Sir Nino,

hmm, ah sir kendall its the faucet knob cropped at 200%.:) this one is hard

sir nino, it's not a faucet knob. it's anywhere, not limited in the kitchen.

is it a water filter cartridge?

sir carlo, it's not water filter. it 's dry, and should always keep it dry when using it. it's really dangerous to use it if it is wet.

kendall, yes, you kept me up last night:) ....hmmmm....is it part of a lamp shade?

or maybe a bathroom mat?

mam pia, you're near with "part of a lamp shade"

So its an electrical appliance then. Now what specifically? hmmmmm.......

hmmmmm....near "part of a lamp shade"?.......could it be the shade itself?....or could it be a chandelier-ceiling fan?

or the base/bottom of a lamp? ....i'm getting a headache here...

hmmm... could be a reflector of the lamp shade or the bulb itself (bulbs with silver coatings) :)

it's not actually a lampshade, it's.....

(preparing to upload the pic)

the suspense is killing me!!!!!!

this is so interesting! hmmm...

here's the pic

...heheheh...that was fun...thanks kendall...gotta get back to work now :)

*sigh* good one kendall!

@roro,
sorry, just saw your reply now, you got the "reflector of the lamp"

That was really tough hehe...

Yey! I got it hahaha :D

Yey! I got it hahaha
