Pretty sure I've seen it before on other forums, basically the idea is you take a photo of something, and then crop it(so you can show the original image after people guess it) so you can only see a small part of something, but enough to hopefully realise what it is.

Whoever guesses the image right posts the next one, no idea how this is gonna pan out but figured it was worth a shot

here's an example, hope it's not too hard,

Hint: I'm using it right now.

not a lid, the black part does not attach to anything. although part of it is a lid of sorts.

it is a hand on the left. and it is a camera.. I guess camera is good enough, won't ask the type.

I thought I'd throw everyone off by using a picture of what was taking the picture..

Hint #3: this product has seen the corners of the globe, not just hotel suites, It's been on the north and south pole and in every deserts and every jungle.
