For the 31st Scavenger Hunt, I decided to create all my images within an overarching theme of “Board games” – and maybe take the opportunity to talk about said games during this post.
Teal is a common enough player color in board games that I had quite a lot of choice for my Teal picture. I chose the game Crusaders because it seemed like the best option if I wanted to have a sea of teal and not just a few pieces on the board.
In Crusaders, players fight for influence over Europe by traveling, mustering troops, building buildings, and the like. The different actions make the following actions easier or more powerful – which makes Crusaders fairly strong in the “engine building” category. It’s a bit intimidating to explain, but the game flows really well and it’s really enjoyable.
Here’s the initial picture, close enough from the end result that the edits were very straightforward:
| Camera | Pentax K-1 II |
| Lens | smc PENTAX-D FA MACRO 100mm F2.8 WR |
| Focal length | 100 mm |
| F-Number | F/10 |
| Exposure time | 1/25s |
| ISO | 800 |
