Love, War, and Chess.

[Artemis]

Ok ok its another chess series? but can you blame me?

All quotations are of the King piece, its kind of like a story.

"Tonight, we fight, So that we may live for tomorow"

"I love you"

"There are too many!"

"I do"

"We fight to the last man"

"She has come, with reinforcements!"

Nice series, I really like "We fight to the last man"

Did you use coloured lighting, or mess with the white balance?

 

[Artemis]

Messed with the light balance a tad...

Hey, Artemis, I'm beginning to like your chess series better and better. What a nice theme and motif you've thought up in order to practise!

HOW do you "mess with the white balance" on a digital camera? I really don't know.

All I know is that I quite like the different outcome of your photos!

the we fight to the last man is awesome execpt for that sticker.. that throws it all off.. keep up the shooting, they are spectacular! Im jealous, i wish i could shoot like you!

A couplle things to say about this series, but first admit that I used to be a chess nut and that board is downright beautiful to begin with. I have a large wooden chess set my father made himself (board AND pieces in all!) that you've inspired me to attempt.

"I do." Because it's the white queen with the clear king, it has a lot of meaning behind the picture. You could apply a lot of different meanings to it. If you were a bit closer to the line of pawns and if the line seemed endless, the shot would have been perfect. Also the lighting is just plain creative and downright cool.

"We fight to the last man"
This is an amazing shot except for that sticker. Could you add more white pieces? Perhaps "fallen" pieces that have been killed?

All in all an awesome series. I think I'll go try one of my own soon

Thanks for the comments guys...Ive had a bad day at work and you have all just put a smile on my face...I really didnt think the shots were that good, just like taking pics of chess pieces.

Next I may attempt a follow up of this...maybe even a lord of the ringsy like story line of one porn...just something to make into a story.

I was just curious of someone would like to help by photoshoping the "We fight to the last man" pic so that the sticker isnt there? thanks!

wow Arti!!! I haven't seen your works for a while and what?! I see you became a great photographer! The shots are great! I like them all

Possible, and not overly difficult- use the clone (stamp) tool. However it's always best to just retake it without the sticker, as it guarentees a believeable outcome.

Im hoping your kidding, but I will explain nun the less.

The ikle pieces are Porns...
hehe.

number 4 makes it for me, good series

Great photos! I love the theme, but in some, the background is annoying (i.e. the first one). My favorite would be #2.

In the second-to-last picture, I think you should make the rest of the background black and delete the green sign on the chess board.

I was being a little silly but I'm really asking now. Do you really call them porns? Does everyone call them porns? Because I always heard them referred to as pawns. Aren't they pawns? But I don't play chess, so....
