One Subject - 30 Shots: White Knight 18

Northy @northy is hosting a challenge to photograph the same subject every day for the month of April: see the details here - https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/43359/one-subject-30-shots

For my single subject I've chosen the White Knight from a replica copy of the 12C Isle of Lewis chess set: today, the White Knight, informs the Royal Court that war now seems inevitable...

View on black please...

[Steve Chappell]

Very creative composition and story, really well done.

[Juan B.]

They seem bad news... I think about wich role will play clerics on the nexts movements for the White Knight and the Crown.

[Lee]

The first thing that struck me was, how detailed they are. The second think was, The king's breakfast by AA Milne.

[Sheila Guevin]

It does look like someone is in trouble. FAV

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful detail

[Caterina]

Beautiful light and b&w. Great details

[Kathy A]

They all look a little bored with whatever he is saying

[Graeme Stevens]

He's either in front of the parole board or it's a job interview...great lighting either way

[Kathy]

I love the guy with his hand at his face as if in shock and disbelief. Two look very sad and one, positively angy.

[Mrs. Laloggie]

Oh dear, someone's been called on the carpet! Beautifully lit, as always.

[gloria jones]

Great lighting and details

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, this is super. Nicely lit too.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

is there any resolution to be found we wonder :)

[Richard Sayer]

@koalagardens There are going to be tears before bedtime I fear!

[Domenico Dodaro]

Perfect focus, this time! I love the Queen piece. Amazing that it is a carving dating back to the 12th Century!

[Richard Sayer]

@domenicododaro They are indeed amazing - you can read more and see the originals here https://www.nms.ac.uk/explore-our-collections/stories/scottish-history-and-archaeology/lewis-chess-pieces/

Oops! Late commenting again...tralala;-)
Brian Blessed, sosie for the King never fails to up the dramatic temperature. He's a magnificent man and icon of his generation...aka older than me!

And...I just love this royal angst. Not yet seen (publicly) in the House of Windsor...

[Richard Sayer]

@randystreat Thanks Kathy - the guy is a girl by the way... she's the white queen.

[Richard Sayer]

@gamelee Yes... now if I could just lay my hands on a dairymaid - not literally of course - still, on second thoughts...

[Fisher Family]

This is a delightful shot with super lighting - and it suggests several different things that could be happening - fav!

They look very distraught! I think you’re doing a wonderful job telling the story of the knight! It’s a “knight’s tale”. 🙂

[Matt Sayer]

The Queen is most definitely not amused by these dispatches.

[Corinne]

Les pièces de cet échiquier sont uniques et bravo pour la mise en scène très théâtrale!

[Jean]

This month is looking so great!

[haskar]

Great composition and light.

[Taffy]

These eyes are incredible -- they make this a storytelling shot.

[Kathy]

Whoops! Can you tell I don't play chess much?

[David]

I'd be asking 'what's in it for him' if his advice was war is inevitable! Another fab pic.. fav
