Photo of Eclipse, the finest Finnish board game to date. Three players are busy around the Galactic Center.

The squarish crop is caused by careless cropping while shooting – I was focused on getting the large yellow and white spaceships in the photo and neglected the right edge of the frame.

This was shot using a Jupiter 37A lens – I thought the name is appropriate for a space-themed shot. The lens is approximately my age, as it’s the Moscow Olympic Games version. The 135mm focal length doubles to 270mm on m4/3, which makes it a very long lens, but that just means I had to stand on a chair to shoot this photo.

The photo is lit with two small strobes. There’s one on left side of the frame, unmodified, to cast the shadows, and another one on top right, shot through a large diffuser.

I got a copy of Coerceo board game to photograph and here’s one of the better shots I’ve managed so far.

This was the first time in long time that I used the old favourite, EF 50mm/1.8. Oh my, how very cheap and unpleasant it felt. Not that the current favourite EF 35mm/2 is much better, but better it is.

Available light, large aperture to blur the background, nothing tricky. I should take the game to the lightbox to see how that would work out.

A detail from the back panel of a FED-5 camera. СДЕЛАНО В СССР means Made in USSR.

Car boot sale, Tampere Main Square, April 2012. It was a cloudy and a windy day, but I don’t know why all these people look so gloomy.

This fellow here is a Little Romance bookmark. Very cute and works well, highly recommended!

A shot of Kingdom Builder for review decoration purposes. Not an actual game situation, but a setup. Available light, the board is a tad shiny, but the houses look fine and I think this describes the game well.

Close-up of my 1971 Acquire. I think the photo is pretty good, because I don’t think the game looks this good in real life…

Abalone, a sumo wrestling match between two amoebas.
