  • So my first Star Wars feature for this month goes to @minifiguresadventures
.
I mean come on! Do I even need to say anything about that gorgeous color gradient with the warm orange to pink sunset in the distance? Love how the silhouette of the minifig and the sand dunes have just enough detail to make this all come together beautifully.
.
Excellent work @minifiguresadventures I will be sending you a DM with your story badge soon!

  • Loving this scene today from @tttinytodd .
Gorgeous use of light and shadows with that perfect little build by the bay. Beautiful job on blending @lego into a real life scene, definitely has that touristy vacation feel to it!

  • “Plastic emotions?” Hi everybody! The third February-tip on storytelling through (Lego-)photography; “it is all about emotion!”
.
Conveying emotions can be difficult with our little plastic friends, especially because not every facial expression is present in the Lego line-up. Also, body language can be a real challenge because of the limited movement-possibilities.
.
The first thing you can do is to try and find a facial expression that fits your image or find a way to work around showing the facial expression. For example; I wanted a loving face for the elderly lady in the example image but could not find one. Yet, by hiding the lady’s face, my imagination takes over and I see that loving face the story in my mind needs. This expression will change in the minds of viewers with a different story. If you feel this guy has to make up for something, she might look quite angry whilst he is apologizing.  It can be anything.
.
The second thing you need to pay attention to is the stance of the minifigures. That is the closest thing to body language we have. And if there is a stance that seems impossible; sticky tack can be the solution to many problems (For example, his arm is stuck on her back). Also remember to pay attention to the hand-position of Lego minifigures! You wouldn’t believe what a difference rotation of the hands can make for your image.
.
Lastly, do not forget about the surroundings, lighting and especially color. These three elements can drastically change (or destroy) the emotion and thus the potential for storytelling by your photo.
.
As usual, all this month’s tips on storytelling, can be found on http://brickcentr.al/storytelling-tips. I'll be hanging out to answer questions or comments.
.
This is @foolishbricks from foolishbricks.com. As you know by now; today’s practice is tomorrow’s skill, so get that camera and start taking photos.

  • Hi everyone, @keith_lowry here with the final #bc_reboot reminder of the month!
.
This was a shot I took in a hotel bathroom, using the white tiles as a lightbox. It was a throwaway gag, but it got a good response so it’s always been a fave of mine. Using the opportunity of the #bc_reboot theme, I’ve reshot it with a better background and with my dslr. I like the immediacy of the original, but also the better set up of the new one :)
.
There have been loads of great entries so far, lovely to see everyone getting into the spirit of the theme. Keep em coming and we’ll announce the winners at the end of the month, with trophy badges up for grabs!
