Cool photos, especially number 3, because you can follow the movement. Not sure how you make this. Iluminating from below?

Is that where the parts all light up and you pess like king move to b3 and he moves ??? It has been some time for me but I think I recall it.. I really dig number 2.

unique idea, with great resaults. Number three is my fav too, since everyone else is guessing - did you shine a laser pen at the glass? good job :thumbup:

...did you shine a laser pen at the glass?

I was thinking of this as a possibility of how these were achieved, too.
I like the idea. Wish I had glass chess figures like this, they look ideal for all sorts of lighting experiments in photography.

I particularly like the colour one and the last.

Thanks everyone, Im just getting over a bad 36 hour flu that has been going around or I would have responded sooner. It was indeed a little laser pointer and a glass chess set. In the first and last shot the only source of light is the laser pointer, but I also used a couple of black lights to get that nice blue in the second shot.

I have a couple interesting ideas to try with this yet, once Im feeling 100% again I will try them out.
