Not been around much lately,I have been rather poorly & really wanted something different to get my teeth in to.
So...I borrowed this lovely glass chess set from a colleague at work,initially wanting a certain image for one of the competitions at the Camera Club I belong to & the day progressed from there 
I did read a nice tutorial by Pete (I found it after I had finished messing about 
) which has inspired me to do yet more.
Half of the pieces are clear glass & the other half are ground glass,the board is glass too.
Lit with a small torch to try & isolate the 2 frontmost pieces,levels adjusted & converted to B&W....I'm rubbish at B&W stuff,so I am determined to get to grips with it this year !
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas & New Year....I know,I know ...but it's better late than never 
Thanks for dropping by.

Like MrsS I to am sorry hear you've not been on top form of late, hope your feeling much better and a HNY to you Janet.
Right the image, rubbish at black and white, you little liar, not wrong with this, really like the idea and you've created a wonderful image.

Thanks all.
Come on I.G. get the set out & get it done !!! I liked the effect of the light on the ground glass better than the clear tbh,much more even light & no blobby bits
Adrian,Fran & Les,thanks for the well wishes,I am almost better...Les,you needed to be there...I lost my voice for a week...hell it was quiet in my house !!!!! can you imagine ??....on second thoughts I guess you couldn't imagine that huh ?
I'm not fibbing,honest,I find B&W conversions are very hit & miss with me...I need to be far more consistent.I wish I did have a grip on them Walter...note to self..must do more B&W
this is stunning and beautiful certainly inspired in B & W
