"Pallanguli, or Pallakuli is a traditional two player board game played by people of all ages. In Tamil, Pal means 'many' and kuzhi means 'pit,' a fitting description to this game which requires a board with many pits."
It's while since I have taken any macros. But the Smile on Saturday's theme of pawns was so tempting, as was the directional sunlight this morning :)
I thought about doing this in monochrome (far behind on that 100x project!) but decided against it. Might try with some of the other shots from the batch...
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Smile on Saturday :)
[Handheld in bright oblique sunlight (tilted the board too). Going for repetition in the composition and minimal focus to create spots of interest (so too the diagonals - with the shadows cunningly vertical :) ).
Developed in Capture One to retrieve the blown-out highlights from the raw and to get rid of some purple/cyan fringing.
Sharpened in Affinity with Unsharp Mask and a soft dark vignette to keep us on the board :)]
Pawns.
I have this theory that totally blurred pictures are a much underrated genre of photography. Like all theories it needs extensive testing :)
So far so good. I am less convinced about the peer review though...
Another one from the set last Saturday, deliberately unfocused (honestly... I worked out how to change it to manual focus. Eventually... :) ).
The real question, of course, is is this a picture of pawns, or is it a picture of the light around pawns? Answers on a postcard (preferably with a sizeable cheque attached, but I'm not fussy - any sized cheque is good...).
For the Thursday Monochrome group and for my 100x Monochrome and Toned.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Thursday Monochrome, and also MBT :)

Income tax can't be treated like a game. There are more free stock photography shots in my Freestock set.
ANONG KWENTONG SUNGKA MO?
While taking pictures inside the Chinatown Museum in Binondo, Manila, I saw two men playing one of my most favorite indoor games, and I took the opportunity to capture their moment. After their game, I tried to recall the mechanics in playing it, because it has been a long time since I haven't played sungka.
SUNGKA
Sungka is one of the traditional indoor games in the Philippines often played using a board with many holes and a bunch of seashells. It was believed that this game came from the Mancala games from our Asian neighbors, which are also characterized by rows of cup-shaped holes and a proportionate number of playing counters such as seeds, shells, or stones. According to Voogt (2010) in his research, the Mancala game, including sungka are played by two people only. One particular set of rules is shared by players in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Maldives, and the Philippines. In Indonesia and Malaysia the game is known as congka or dakon (Donkers, de Voogt, and Uiterwijk 2000,79) where it is played on two rows of three with up to two rows of nine or more holes with two store holes at each end.

This is an indoor game in villages in Tamil nadu. 1 person will play for each side and they will take coins and distribute according to rules and earn returns at various counts.

It's Wednesday, the boys are off school (as usual, in France), and they're playing with a set of cards I bought them yesterday. We didn't have any cards at home, so this was a little treat & surprise for them. I rather like their old-fashion look. (May 06th 2009)
