Chess II

Once more, I'm shooting the chess board because it was handy, but this time I put more effort and technique into it, and didn't somehow massively underexpose it.

K-x - 1/180 sec - f/11 - ISO 200 - ~60mm

Lit with an Achiever 300DX high and to camera left. I pointed it so that there'd be very little light past the end of the chess board.

Used GIMP to adjust levels (crush black, lift the light a bit but not too much), scale and watermark.


I'd like to do less levels, or less severe levels adjustments. It seems to me that its got to be reducing image quality.
