. . . . . . .

Prior the battle, we always set our mind-set to win the war . .
The troops are similar and have almost identical power . .

But only strategy and ability to think few steps ahead will make the difference . . Speed in thinking to make decision may also have impact to the result . .

Do we learn if we lose? . . and do we learn when we win?

I learn from the book, from the expert, from the player, from seeing the world class game, and practice it to copy the moves . . but I mostly lost . .

One thing I observed from the past games I have done, is missing the courage to take the move at the right moment . . mostly I am late and wrong move at the next event . .

I purposely set this chess at the center of the frame . . to show the field is at the same angle and the same size of playing the game . .

No crop nor color adjustment on this picture . . just resize.

I hope you like it . . and happy week end to you all . .

I will do different experiments starting next week, and will share if it is done properly . .

Cheers,
Tjutjut

Hi Tjutjut
Once again, great shot, brilliant POV.
Compliments and TFS
Jens.

Hi Tjutjut

I'm going to keep quiet about the slight angle of the chessboard because I guess sometimes imperfection is a benefit.

Nice work with the macro lens and its shallow depth of field.
Rew

Very nice. Great lighting and exposure. Nice use of a shallow DOF.

TFS,
David

Hello Tjutjut

I like the Idea, excllent composure with great details very crisp well balaced and composed photo,

TFS Kyle

Hello my friend

Absolutely superb shot here, excellent POV and perfect DOF really ncie well balanced shot.

TFS regards Helen

nice Shot mas Tjutjut.
POV dan DOF yang baik sekali, namun untuk lighting masih terlalu berada antara kanan dan kiri sehingga effect gelap di pinggir object tak bisa terhindari :) disinilah kita butuh sesuatu untuk bounce back lighting dengan apa saja... seperti kertas putih, karton putih, kain putih atau lempengan styrofom, asal bukan dari bahan metal.
supaya salah satu sisi harus lebih terang atau gelap, jadi dimensi shadow dan character object bisa lebih kuat tertangkap.

oya.. kapan kita ketemuan nih....???
