Sole Survivor (Original B&W Photograph)

in #photography6 years ago

Howdy,

There was a challenge on the ViewBug website called "It's Your Move" and, as I was home for Thanksgiving and had access to some chess pieces, I had a little time to play with dynamic lighting.

This was one of the last photos I took, after playing around with chess pieces and lighting for over an hour. I thought it was a pretty interesting image, though.

This next one was one of the earlier attempts, when I was trying to get some long shadows. In the end, I had to remove the black pawns to get the shadows I wanted and it didn't look quite right without them.

Great shots! You play chess I take it? I never got into chess...probably a good thing because I tend to cheat if I'm not winning lol

Thanks! I used to play a little when I was a kid, but never serious. When I lived in Ronda, my neighbor used to invite me to play, but he was actually good at chess. The pieces are very photogenic, though!

Increíblemente bonitas y originales,,, enhorabuena! :)

It's an interesting idea to take photos like this. I like the first one saying I'm the KING! And the second one is saying: WE ARE READY TO FIGHT! :)
