Journey of a Thousand Steps
1. Hand, harsh shadows, glass chess board and pieces.
2. My main idea was to capture the essence of action in the midst of a chess game. I mainly used rule of thirds for this picture.
3. In taking this photo, I made sure that the person holding the piece was in the slightly off the direction of the light so that their hand would be lit but also cast harsh shadows behind it. I mainly edited to add more depth and contrast to the photo (using tone curve and contrast). Last, I cropped to make the photo more centered around the subject.
