Lego - Breakdance

I was asked by my Editor to take some pics to accompany a feature in our next issue, I leapt at the chance!

This was also a good opportunity to play with my new MR-14EX. I found it pretty hard to use, being new to flash, but got some ok results I think.







I need a lot more practise with the flash, but its an enjoyable challenge.

Also I see that the colours are down a bit, I processed in Aperture and am now viewing from work.

Re: Lego - Breakdance

Thanks guys

I've got a shot in mind for a comp elsewhere with the same man, but it's going to be a heavily dressed shot in the garden. Looking forward to it, but it's going to be harder than I thought. At least I wont have to worry about achieveing a perfect white background though!

Re: Lego - Breakdance

That terminus is great! Is it still in one piece?

I took a look at the brick testament this weekend whilst waiting for the flash to arrive

Imaging lego is cliche, but oh so much fun
