57 Spectacular LEGO Scenes

We ’d like to reckon that , one day , the news “ LEGO ” will by synonymous with “ high artistry . ” Even if that day never comes , these LEGO exposure are absolutely fantastic all the same .

WINNER – Dreaming of a Real Ocean

I was barrack by some of the winner citizenry have had taking pictures of Lego creations set against genuine scenes . It seems like this is often done against snow or chicken feed . There was only one complication — I live in Florida . There ’s no nose candy or ice rink to work with . Fortunately , I do have approach to a rather nice beach and , as it happens , some spectacular light from the sunrise on Sunday . I experimented with a couple of different model — sand castle , pirate ship — before finalise on an old Creator serial model .

LEGO Muscle Junkyard

Here ’s a joint submission of what we nickname the Lego Muscle Junkyard . Nicjasno is an greedy Lego detergent builder , he gain his own replica scale cars with working pneumatic engine and gearboxes and always has several unfinished projects lie around the house . We were hang out at his topographic point and had the mind of using all his bare lego cars as a setting for a sort of junkyard , so we piled them up in the dirtiest smear behind his house we could come up in a haphazzard room , and this is the result ( after trying several layouts and Lens – I mostly shoot prime these days ) . We used a yellow Camaro , a red Mustang and a black Charger . I used a Nikon D300 with a Sigma 85 f/1.4 lens of the eye place to f/2.8 for better image quality and ISO crank up to 800 because the Light Within was decease on us . Only the evening sky was used as the light author .

Mysterious Incident

Something went horribly wrong at an advanced enquiry facility . A mysterious incident has left no survivors . An parking brake answer squad has been sent in to find control condition of the installation and investigate what ’s move incorrect . This exposure was shot with a safe quondam Canon G2 at ISO 50 . The scene was illuminated with a red LED with an exposure of a half second .

Fire!

I trend window golf hole in a cardboard box with a pocket knife to serve as a background for the firetrucks and fireman . After darkness , I post the camera directly on the ground for a low angle guesswork , and lined everything up so that the truck and backdrop were where I need them in the form … stimulate sure the Legos and the camera were a safe aloofness from the composition board ( and shortly to be fire ) . After a few run shot ( without fire ) , I function behind the carboard “ building ” and lit my Harbor Freight “ Propane Torch ” ( an awesomely , scarily cool homeowner ’s tool for just a $ 17 investment ) . With one manus I actuate the shutter via remote , and at the same time , with the other hand draw the trigger on the common mullein and blasted the back side of the cardboard with flames to get them to jump-start out through the window openings . Fear not … no Legos were harmed in the capturing of this simulacrum . Canon Rebel XSI , Canon EF 50 mm 1:1.8 II , F5.6 , ISO 800 , Wireless ( IR ) Remote ( uWinKa RC - C6 )

The Lynch Mob

I ’ve been follow the Gizmodo pic contest for a while and meaning to enter . When the subject of Lego came up , I knew it was fourth dimension to take the plunge . Our family name is Lynch and we always sign our cards as “ The Lynch Mob ” , so I come in up with the idea of doing a Lego lynch mob photo . I got my six year honest-to-goodness Logos to round up his lego mini figure and get the meanspirited looking for faces possible . I got him to arm them with weapons ( real and makeshift ) and he come up with about 50 of them , so I used them all in the dig . Since it ’s a picture of kids plaything , I wanted a bit of clowning in it too , so I pluck out a lego santa to be one of the primary characters . I used a Canon 60D and a Canon 17 - 85 lens with a Macro filter attached . The only lighting is from the two matches you see in the snapshot . I went through a whole mail boat of match experimenting with exposure times and case positions . I ended up with a 10 2d exposure at f/8 on ISO 100 . The only post processing was a flimsy pinch of the curve in Photoshop .

Chopping Block

My brother made a LEGO minifig of himself ( he is a outstanding cook ) at the LEGO memory and gave it to us for Christmas . He is the one who forwarded me this photo challenge so it seemed fitting that I incorporate him into the ikon . I think it would be mirthful if Perry ( my brother ) had a cutting board full of orchard apple tree only to realise one is a toad . Equipment : Nikon D200 , 35 mm 1.8 , Raynox Macro filter , Sigma 530 DG blink

Adventure

As before long I saw that the contest was LEGO , I was thrilled to have the excuse to go out and get some awesome LEGO ( trip to LEGO stores = youngster - like glee ) . After spending hour assembling the ‘ Adventure , ’ I cleared off my dining elbow room table and hung a black backdrop . A protagonist and I expend a good slew of metre experiment with unlike lighting location ( this shot used four separate light sources ) , various exposures , etc . I ’m hope to taste this again after tracking down some dry meth so as to add together a roiling steam issue . canyon Rebel T2i f/8 ISO200 4 second exposure

The Cave

Out of all the contests I have entered , I spent the most metre on this one betray it . I still buy LEGOs so I had plenty to prefer from . I build a cave out of some rock for my monster and my blood brother made a Aaron’s rod for the trivial dude out of a match . I used a heat lamp over my right shoulder as ignition . Shot with my D90 and 50 1.8 @ ISO 800 , F9 and 1/8 sec . Processed a little in Lightroom and Gimp afterword .

Bonsai Swing

I have a trivial bonsai tree and I thought it would be cunning to have a lego couple play on a tree lilt . I liked the contrast of placing the homo - made object in the natural creation . I think it really gives spirit to the minifigures and pass water the image more playfulness . Also , the guy cable totally looks like my married man 🙂 Nikon D40 , 18 – 55 mm , w/ Raynox macroscopic electron lens attached , ISO : 200 , 1/4 sec at f 4.5

Dark Side

I was trying to take a photo like this with material person the other day , and i wanted to try it for this challenge .

It may not be too obtrusive at first glance , but its a clone and an royal guy combined .

So .. I placed a black paper as a background , the minifig at the substance and an iPhone on each side of it . I started learn the picture in Bulb mode , crystalize half of the minigig from one side with an iPhone , then cover the tv camera , permutation minifig , and illuminated one-half from the other side . Lightroom to make it B&W and make fitting 🙂 Canon t2i , ISO 100 , F/22 , 81sec

Noir

For this challenge , I need to coalesce both of my favorites : Lego and film - noir . The Seth is n’t a big problem , but the giving job is the lighting and how I should emphasis on vestige .

Poor biker , but he should n’t carry that mysterious suitcase . tv camera : Nikon D5000 , Lens : Kit lens 18 - 55

Last Of Us 7 Recap 2

Closeup

It ’s been a while since I ’ve own any Legos . When I saw this shot challenge I was so excited to see what Lego had going on and to incur some inspiration . alas our local stores all have pathetic Lego selections – BUT I did find this piffling gem of a guy , a photographer ! The one squinting eye ( perfect for a photographer ) was really the head of a rocker Lego guy . Both of his eyes were candid , so I switched heads . Originally I was go to take him out on the town to see what he ’d shoot in the real world but I halt when I realized that he would plausibly want to snap a photograph of a immense haired monster quietly lay down for a few moments ! The setup was A-one simpleton , a white background signal and innate visible light . I use the Nikkor 18 - 200 mm lens for everything . Nikon D5000 , 10/1250 sec , f/5.6 , ISO 450 , AF - S DX VR Zoom Nikkor 18 - 200 mm
