[MOC] Pink Floyd - Building All The Albums

Number 15: The Endless River

These are all natural, only sunlight, no filters or other trickery (apart from the last one!) I couldn't decide which version of the light I liked best so I've included several...

The Endless Photoshoot.

These are absolutely incredible... fantastic work... I'd love to see them all together as some sort of installation.

I put a link here to a separate thread I started, just to list the 15 completed studio albums in chronological order, with a single picture of each.

I have to say, I had never paid a lot of attention to the early Pink Floyd albums or artwork before. But the music is good and the designs are interesting. A bit of research shows that the main background image is a conflict between Doctor Strange and The Living Tribunal.

The other elements I was able to identify and use were the green bottles, the wizard in the garden, the band members in a bowl and the zodiac-like circle thing in the middle.

Huh, that's interesting. Thanks for sharing!

There are so many cool filters available now...this is the 'Obama'...I think it gives a nice retro feel.

Absolutely amazing! Stunning! How did you do that? Are those faces real lego heads???? As always you did a very great job by making Lego artworks from one of the greatest bands...you should have a place in a exhibit at the museum!

Hi @Henk61, you are very kind as always. Yes, they are all real Lego parts. The heads are all Star Wars. The hair is from Harry Potter, Ninjago, Creator and (I think) Dr Who.

The 'how' is simple but difficult. Photography like this needs very, very bright light, natural or artificial.

1. Take a photo with your phone in very bright light, not too close.

2. Use an app to make the photo black and white.

2. Zoom in and cut each person out separately.

3. Use an app to create a collage of four photos.

4. Apply the 'Clarendon' filter in Instagram (Other social media are available. Well actually they aren't- Facebook owns everything.)

5. Use an app to reduce the final photo to a size acceptable to Eurobricks.

Here is part of the original photo. The quality is not great because I already reduced it here for Eurobricks. You can also see that, for example, Nick Mason's hair colour is not really correct in the colour version. In black and white it looks better. :grin:
