Star Wars LEGO Photography

Scouting out the area

Wow they look great.

Wow they look great.

Thanks! That really means a lot to me.

Here's another one! This I edited with an app called VFX Studio. I like it, although maybe it's a bit too hard to see. I'll have to go easier on the smoke next time.

What'ya think?

[Dark Angel]

good photography

[JackJonespaw]

Yes, much less smoke. From what I can make out, it looks pretty nice, though.

The smoke effect is great, a little to heavy but looks good.

[purpleparadox]

Thanks guys. That's what I thought, but oh well. Keep watching for more!

Also, the gun effects are a bit much. 3 different blasts from tye same gun is strange. They should just all be red lasers, like they are in the movies. Everything else looks good, you're doing great.

Thanks! I originally had all red lasers, but they started to blend together until it looked like just one shot. Oh well, it's something to work on!

Any ideas/requests for what kind of photo to do next?

The first grass picture is excellent.

After seeing this, just bought that app. Oh the possibilities.

Thanks! There's a couple members here on EB that I'm kinda in awe of...you're one of them, so your compliments excite me a bit! I'm particularly fond of that first grass shot out of all of my pics so far.

It appears I'm doing a bit of promoting the app by accident. A word of advice, it leaves a watermark in the corner so you might want to crop it out of whatever you make.

Young Anni on Tatooine

IMO the sand I used for desert has too many pebbles, etc. to be Tatooine, but it's still okay-looking. I absolutely love this fig. The Naboo Starfighter he came in was one of my favourite pre-Dark Age sets, and the figs hold a special place in my heart.

C&C wanted, as always!

Young Anni on Tatooine

The lighting on that is great, the shadows are looking very nice, though Ani's soulless eyes are scaring me.

Thank you! Well, I guess the eyes are just what you have to deal with when it comes to older minifigs.

Young Anni on Tatooine

Like Mr Man said, the way that the light is angled and the shadows are cast is very nice. Still, i can't help feeling that the picture isn't very entertaining yet. It may just be my personal taste, but i really like pictures that tell a story or tickle my imagination. For example, instead of having him standing still you could have him performing some kind of action, as to give us a hint to what he is doing in the middle of nowhere. Or you could work with the background so he no longer appears to be in the middle of nowhere but part of a larger scene. I hope you find these comments useful, keep up the good work!

Hi all. New here and there are some great shots over this thread. Thought I'd add a couple of my own:

Horace wasn't quite cut right for Clone Academy #3

Star Wars Unusual Suspects

Always Separate the Whites

[purpleparadox]

@che6mw: They're funny, but maybe you want to post them in the Single Pane Star Wars Funnies thread?

Thanks, that's good advice. I'll try to make the next photos more interesting.

What a great way to introduce yourself che6mw, welcome to the EB community! These pictures are hilarious, i actually laughed out loud at the last one.

Thanks :) Looking forward to becoming active here. Got back in to Lego about a year ago (after a 20 yr absence) and have caught the bug bad! Hope to do some photos with Jabba's Palace this weekend...

Thanks. I like that Anakin picture too, great shadows.

[Vindicare]

I hope I don't die in 7 days now...

Here's one I just took yesterday.

[The_Chosen_1]

Nice shot!

[Vindicare]

Nice shot!

I concur. I like these 'out in nature' shots.
