 I shot around 80-90 pictures for this and tried different angles. It was kind of fun and I think you should be able to figure out what this is but I will tell you here.



It is an old computer processer: Intel Pentium 120 - A80502120 / 296-pin / 32 bit / 120MHz /

A CPU, though I hope I'm not expected to guess the speed ;)

A CPU for a computer.

Processor. I wouls like to see the tips close up. I'm not sure where exactly my eye should go.

Pretty easy to solve but executed very well. I love your use of light to bring out the shadows on that white background and the gold really accents it well. Did you have to remove it from the device or did you just happen to have a spare lying around?

Blurry foreground detracts from this otherwise nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/24/2007 12:01:26 PM
Some sort of chip maybe. Like the use of negative space. Great Sharpness and DOF also.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

CPU, will not guess on the maker nor model ;)

Nice and clean shot, but I do find the out of focus foreground pins distracting, might have been better to blur out the pins in the background.

Don't know. Is it some kind of loom? I don't think that is right. I have a feeling that I have seen this before, but I can't place it.

No idea, a computer part maybe? Or something to do with electronics. Good clear photo, good composition.

It could use a live mouse running around in the white space. :) Well done.

Absolutely no idea on this one... I'm trying to guess something on every entry but I can't do that with this one. I really don't know.

What kind of processor is that?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/20/2007 08:44:55 PM
do we still have these pins ? I thought we only have balls which solder on to the board, or does that go into a socket ?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/20/2007 08:13:15 PM
Oh, a bed of nails for barbie and ken? No just joking. Must be some kind of computer part.

I like the negative space in this photo and the shadow. Some sort of electrical/computer thing??
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/20/2007 01:07:59 AM
The shadow to one side is a very nice touch! the subject should have been more prominent in the picture (in my opinion)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good color and sharpness, vertical framing needs to be looked at, just my $.0.02
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great shot, awesome shadows and gold color. AMD or Intel? Or am I way off?
