The chess pieces are nearly the same colour tones as brown bear. I think Teddy Bears are like hugs, and every Tuesday should be hug day.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
...we were not playing chess...we were just playing with our cameras, taking different shots and angles and lighting of this chess set that leck bought from another planet..
Enjoy the rest of you weekend, my Flickr prens.
A month ago, I posted an image of this chess board, and said I would post another one later, because to me, it's just such a beautiful set. This one was taken with my 100mm macro lens and I used focus stacking.
I'm back from our time away and will do my best to catch up on your latest images. We had a lovely time with family and friends.

Treasure Hunt #20 Chess
Well, my golf had to be cancelled due to the course being closed as out was considered to be dangerous, under foot, due to the heavy frost and then the freezing rain! So, out with the chess!!
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” this week is “one point perspective”, so I decided to set up my favourite chess set read to go into battle showing one point perspective using parallel lines that lead us towards the background. The two opposing armies of chess pieces have created the effect of the lines merging closer together towards the background as they lead towards the vanishing point.
These beautifully created chess pieces behind it were all hand carved by my very gifted and clever maternal Grandfather in 1933. My favourite pieces in the set are the wonderfully carved Rooks and Knights. Over the years the wood in the white set has mellowed to a warm honey colour from the many games of chess that he played with the pieces. The black stain used has also withstood the many years of their use. The chessboard the pieces are on was also made by my Grandfather in 1952. Two chess sets, a draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died a few years ago.
This image was shot handheld through Plexiglass in a dark room with a cluttered background, a formula for a bad photo…LOL! But I thought it was interesting enough to give it a try.
It is a chess set and game table said to have been owned by Napoleon Bonaparte; it was given to George Vanderbilt as a gift on his 21st birthday by James McHenry, a British railroad financier. The set is on display in one of the buildings on the grounds of Biltmore Estate, the 250-room mansion built by Vanderbilt in the late 1800s in Asheville, North Carolina.
I tried various shots, but this one, taken from a perspective behind the red pieces looking toward the whites, came out the best.
Happy Macro Monday to all flickr friends, HMM
p.s. this is part of a little chess set, wide about 6cm
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 17th of September is "tabletop game components". Luckily, I come from a family where tabletop games were something we all played, so for me it was just a choice of what pieces to use. I decided to opt for pieces that mean something to me and are part of my heritage. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week and that it makes you smile!
All the chess pieces behind him were all hand carved by my very gifted and clever maternal Grandfather in 1933. Over the years the wood in the white set has mellowed to a warm honey colour from the many games of chess that he played with the pieces. The black stain used has also withstood the many years of their use. My favourite pieces in the set are the wonderfully carved Rooks and Knights, both of which appear in this shot.
The draughts pieces, although not made by my Grandfather, were his and it was these pieces that he used to teach me how to play draughts. Remarkably, considering they are also from the 1930s, they have survived the years of use and are still brightly coloured.
The chessboard the tabletop game components are on was also made by my Grandfather in 1952. Two chess sets, the draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died a few years ago.

This pawn and the pieces behind it were all hand carved by my very gifted and clever maternal Grandfather in 1933. Over the years the wood in the white set has mellowed to a warm honey colour from the many games of chess that he played with the pieces. The black stain used has also withstood the many years of their use. My favourite pieces in the set are the wonderfully carved Rooks and Knights. Although blurred you can just see them tantilisingly behind my last man standing. I couldn’t not include my beloved favourite pieces in this photograph. The chessboard the pieces are on was also made by my Grandfather in 1952. Two chess sets, a draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died a few years ago.
The theme for Smile on Saturday on the 25th of April is “Pawn”. How could I fail to not use these fabulous pieces of my family history, so lovingly made?
I brought this vintage chess set back from my Mum's home after she passed away last year. I think it may have gone to the local tip if I hadn't taken it. It must be at least sixty years old and probably quite a bit more as I think it was my Nan's before my Dad inherited it.

This is the chess set in the in the Spring Palace of the former evil communist President of Romania , Nicolae Ceausescu . Now just tell me ,who would dare to be so foolhardy as to try to beat (defeat) this dreadful & decadent dictator ????
Window shopping in Venice is a heart stopping experience.... you can actually feel your credit card trying to squirm it's way into the furthest recesses of your wallet. For the budding photographer, most shop windows display signs saying "No photo". The cure of course is to wonder round after the shops have shut with your trusty "plastic fantastic" 50mm F1.8 and grab a all the shots you want. This is a chess set in a shop window somewhere expensively close to the Rialto Bridge.
Replicas of one of a number of walrus ivory chess sets buried on the Isle of Lewis around 800 years ago. What today we call the Castle was then the Warder - a warrior so ferocious he bites his shield in frustration - often called the Berserker.

chess-such an intriguing game. every move has impact & you never quite know what you're gonna do until the other person makes their move. kinda f's with your head a bit but definitely gets you thinking & once you're in-you play to win.

I really liked my first Rainbow Chess shot and wanted to try and improve it and see how some different angles looked. This one is much less noisy, but I still like the other one a lot more.
Stephan Balkenhol′s "Sphaera" is a man on a golden sphere on the Kapitelplatz next to the Salzburger Dom cathedral in Salzburg, Austria. In the background on the hill, you can see Hohensalzburg Fortress. The fortress is over 900 years old and was originally built to guarantee the safety of the archbishops; while also serving as barracks and a prison. Today it is a museum and a wonderful place to visit!
