Photo uploaded from the #VisionFirst! Photo Competition (photocomp.iapb.org) held for World Sight Day 2019
Lighting: One speedlight pointed at white ceiling to give ambient, another one handheld near the white piece with a DIY grid on it.
Futile to kill the pawn? No debate.
The queen will surely avenge his fate.
She blocks retreat and bids the bishop close the gate
It's checkmate!
On Church and Queen there's a park where Kasparov wannabees gather to prove them selves right.

Newspaper caption: "The navy is in risk of sinking without a serious long-term strategy".
The photo was used in the Nov. 2008 story, "Canadian navy needs a tune-up": gauntlet.ucalgary.ca/story/10411
For the photo, I used a Canon EF12 Extension Tube to do a close-up shot on a Battleship game. Indeed, you sink my battleship.
"In chess the most unbelievable thing for me is that it's a game for everybody: rich, poor, girl, boy, old, young. It's a fantastic game which can unite people and generations! It's a language which you'll find people "speak" in every country." - GM Judith Polgar (Real Queen of Chess)
Designed and folded by me from a single uncut square sheet of bicolored tracing paper
Paper size : 75cm x 75cm
Model size : 20cm x 15 cm
64x64 Grids Boxpleated
My attempt at color change! I had long wanted to fold something related to chess, finally came up with this anthropomorphised chess set :) Very pleased with the result, as I was able to combine 2 of my fav. hobbies!
(The wooden chess set is special to me, a gift from my father, who taught me this wonderful game.)
Since it might not be so clear to recognise all the elements here:-
1. 64 Grids BP: because 64 squares on a chess board
2. Queen on the Throne: because strongest piece
3. 2 knights/horses, 2 Bishops
4. 2 Rooks: Depicted as brick-sided throne.
5. 8 Pawns as Crown Spikes
Scope for improvement - color change on 4 pawns (too small to notice so I skipped), color change on Rook (had no clue on how to do it), King Symbol being a simple Origami Crane (but may have become unrecognisable as King symbol)
I'd designed this model 2 years ago, but couldn't finish it then. Now, the World Chess Championship is in November, and it could be a big one for GM Gukesh!
Hope you all like it :)
Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem. ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh

Echec et mat
En cherchant un titre pour cette photo, j'ai pensé à une partie d'échec. Le pion isolé (le nuage) est vaincu par ses adversaires (les arbres)
Checkmate
In seeking a title for this photo, I thought of a chess game. The blot (the cloud) is defeated by his opponents (the trees)
This long exposure photo is taken in October at the Bergse Funfair. It shows the Speed (J.J.B. van de Laan- Swinkels), which is is a 36 meter (118 feet) high KMG Booster. While playing with different shutter durations, you get all kinds of effects.
Last Tuesday evening we went with the photogroup to the Funfair in Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands. This photograph is part of my Funfair set. Click here to view the complete set.
