I found Columbus at a flea market for 1.5 euros. Not bad price for a Wolfgang Kramer game. Ravensburger published the game in Finland in 1991. I never remember seeing this game when I was a kid, though.
First the art photo - a backlit photo that turned out rather fine in black and white - then some more colourful game situations.
Black and white photography tip
Here's a tip: never use the camera black and white setting to take black and white photos. Anyway, if you shoot RAW, the setting doesn't matter, as the RAW file will contain all colour information anyway.
Also, don't just click "black and white" and be done with it. A better black and white effect will let you adjust the colour levels. This is an old trick from film camera era: back then it used coloured filters in front of the lens, now it's easy as you can decide the colour after the shot.
The photo above used an orange filter to get the best results. The difference between a red and a blue filter was huge. With blue filter, the blue tiles appeared much lighter than the brown board beneath them.
