LOTR LEGO Photography

[General Magma]

Hey everyone,

I haven't seen a topic like this one around here yet,

and since the LEGO Star Wars sub-forum has one, I figured; why not place one here now that I've started on LEGO photography again?

This topic is intended for LEGO Lord of the Rings (anything Tolkien-related, really) photography,

so any photography you've done involving LEGO LOTR is welcome here. I haven't seen that many people doing LEGO LOTR photography yet,

but hey, this may yet be a point of motivation to get started for some, just like the way I started with LEGO photography after seeing the stuff from the SW folks.

To start off, here are my own, first LEGO LOTR shots, all of which were done in the past few days:

Uruk-hai Berserker

The Uruk-hai Berserkers were the most powerful of Uruk-hai to ever come out of

Saruman's pits underneath Isengard. They were larger and even more fearsome versions of the

Uruk-hai, and carried large, two-pointed swords with them, ready to rip apart any enemy

they crossed paths with.

Based on this picture.

The Three Hunters

Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli, ready to hunt some orc...

The Hobbit: Riddles in the Dark

"My name is Bilbo Baggins..."

"Bagginses? What is a Bagginses, preciouss...?"

Not entirely fond of this one, might re-do it in the future once the official Hobbit sets are out.

Here's me wishing that Gollum was more pose-able, or at least had the ability to turn his head around...

Gollum

This one was mostly a lighting test, but I thought it wasn't bad, so here's the last one for now.

Enjoy these for now, and feel free to post your own or look around to see what there is so far!

Hopefully we'll see more LEGO LOTR photography with this, soon.

Cool!

[The_Chosen_1]

Nice shots! Great idea to start a photography thread for LotR too.

[ShaydDeGrai]

Cool.

I'm no photographer, but I'm happy to throw in a couple shots of the Fellowship passing through the Argonath

Other shots from this photo set can be found here.

Nice photos, both of you! General Magma, I love your Riddles in the Dark shot. I need to get taking some LOTR pics!

Wow that's awesome to bad my camra sucks

[Ferrik]

All the photos look great. The dark lighting really fits the pictures, General Magma.

[Masked Builder]

Your solution for the Uruk's weapon is nice, great Gollum shot too.

[General Magma]

Thanks all!

Hoping to do some more shots soon,

and to see more stuff from others as well.

[General Magma]

Woah, can't believe this topic nearly died.

Right, since the highlight of the picture is LOTR, I just wanted to share my traditional LEGO "Happy New Year"

picture with y'all. A groupshot of figures from various themes, mainly LOTR.

Happy New Year everyone!

Nice shots, smokebelch. Keep 'em coming!

Here's another one from me,

depicting a scene from FOTR where Frodo can't keep up with the rest and falls down,

quickly to be helped up by Aragorn. But Boromir may have other plans...

Caradhras: The One Ring

[General Magma]

No new posts? That's a shame. Sorry for the double post, then, here's another Caradhras shot of mine:

The Fellowship of the Ring

The Fellowship of the Ring travels over the Pass of Caradhras

on their way to Mordor, but little do they know about the trouble that lies ahead...

For a larger version of it, click on the picture itself.

Those last two shots are really nice, General Magma, I really like the one with the ring, ver nice perspective.

Thanks!

I might do more outdoor photography (without snow) of LEGO LOTR or The Hobbit later on.

Here's an alternate angle of my most recent picture:

The Caradhras pictures are great. Fantastic combination of LEGO, real life elements and background pictures.

Here is my contribution to this thread.

I'll posted the first picture already in another thread, but I think it fits better in this one. The second one is inspired by Riddles in the dark and similar to General Magmas picture in the first post. Enjoy.

[General Magma]

Those are some nice shots, Plissken. Keep 'em coming! Always good to have more Middle-Earth photographers around.

I should try my hand at some forest environment pics some time as well.

[Captain Nemo]

As I've stated (And Shown) in the Licensed Forms, I've been taking tons of pictures of minifigures in Black and White with a Color Highlight. For the most part I've so far have only been doing Superheroes, but today I started with some Lord of the Rings ones. I've got 3 done so far:

Here's the link to the full set of B&W's.

[Vindicare]

Great new shots General, Plissken & Nemo! I love the snowy shot with all the Fellowship, General. Plissken, that Riddles in the Dark is awesome, love the angle of the shot. And Nemo, that Frodo hot highlighting the Ring completely draws your attention to the Ring. It has me saying, " My Precioussssss"

[PeteM]

I thought I'd take advantage of the snow today for a quick photo, though I seem to have filtered it to such an extent that you'd never know it was real snow!

ETA: disclaimer - I've never photographed minifigs before and was trying to do it with just an iPhone!

No need to quote the picture.

Sorry to necro the thread, but I thought it was good and didn't want to make a new one.

Here's some of mine.
