Lovely @ungewichtet 👍 enough light to see the silhouette but enough darkness to keep the intrigue.
After a long journey from the West Coast, the Ultimate v2 "butters" have found their forever home. They get played with too... I tried to tinker with the canyon lighting outside, camera filters, and log cabin feel. Other more experienced folks make this kinda stuff look easy!?
Rustic chess anyone??!

Perfect! Great set up and shot.
A long journey from outer space to your hospitable cabin! Opposing a pyramid and a churn, like chess with the maker. Or just a flower pot on a folding table-and a game home against the world through the window

These wooden pieces almost looked like plastic pieces when I walked past the table earlier. Perhaps it’s the contrast of the TV light in the background?
Wow, beautiful! What chess set is this? I thought it was the Preston Series at first, but I see several differences with the set I got my wife a few years ago. Among other things, your knights look more refined and have more manes, the bishops don’t have sharp hats, your queen has a double crown, and the king doesn’t seem to have spheres on its finial, and has a multi-segmented head instead of the triangular head of the Preston set. I love the glossy finish as well!

Here’s a sunlit silhouette showing beautifully translucent pieces and a fine seem in the rook, which is near invisible in when not held up to the sun. And then a reflection by lamplight. 😊

strike me as total stoners
Get a life and let others lead theirs. People who has nothing better to do than demean others and their interests are a waste of space.

...and now you´re patronizing as well. Going out of your way to offend people?

If you had contributed to the thread, by posting a picture of you´re own, maybe I had taken your "stoner" comment in good humour. We´ve obviously learned how to behave differently.
