I really like this shot! It's one of those scenes where it seems like just another day at work, but you know that something horrible is about to happen. It reminds me of the beginning of an old X-Files episode, for those familiar with Fluke Boy. Conspiracy theories aside, Justin M Winn has been experimenting with a Brickstuff lighting kit, and I'd say it's been a success. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Builder 2 Much Caffeine imagines a city powered by steam, buzzing with electricity and fueled by fun. This was a build for Brick2014 in the UK, and features motorized functions and a multitude of lighting effects, including a lava lamp! I don't know that I'd want to live in this town, but you can bet I would visit.
And why not, there's snow everywhere (except where I live, but I'm pretty OK with that), they get to build snow men (their favorite thing to do), and everyone sings "White Christmas" (they think it's about them, but please don't tell them it's not, it'll break their hearts). Nice build Nick.
Creatively lighting a MOC for photography can be tricky, very tricky. It's usually hours of trial and error and continual camera tweaks trying to get the right exposure, depth of field and light control. So when I see a picture like this I can appreciate what went into it. That, or it's a couple flashlights and pure luck (but hey, I appreciate that too). Regardless, this is a nice shot, and it's funny.
