its looking through a lens with both caps removed from the front (probs a large focal distance zoom lens). Taken probably with a canon camera (explains the reflection)

Is it a mini camera, like a hidden CCTV camera? Either that or is it the laser part of a CD player?
Onslow posted Tue, 12 September 2006 at 7:12 PM
Nope sorry Kim - good try
Well spotted the word Canon - Nope sorry Jim - good tries.
Nope sorry Richard - God try and working out it was taken with a Canon camera .
Nope sorry Angus - good tries
Clue it is not a specialist item, everyone has used one of these, nothing to do with photography.

Is it the top of a spray can with the little plastic thing on top that makes the contents spray missing?
Or maybe a car or truck headlight?

Yayyyyyyyyyy huge congrats to Pat !
Exactly right. It is a torch/flashlight viewed looking directly into the reflector.
I'll post a pic from a different angle when I get home soyou can see th whole torch.

I've never heard them called torches before. It's fun to see the differences in language. My favorite is "being pissed"... drunk in Australia, or mad in USA.
Onslow posted Wed, 13 September 2006 at 12:03 PM
I didn't know about 'pissed' though, here it is drunk.
