WPC: Tiny – Studs

Photography, , , , ,

There are definitely worse Lego pieces to step on, but these tiny guys are often a pain to find. To make them pop a bit more in the image, I used a filtering setting to make everything B/W and just focus on the one colour. Tried a few variations, but alas my favourite colour orange was a bit too similar to the floor (bottom image), so decided to feature the purple version instead.

I also found the subject matter entertaining. Grew up with Lego and always found these tiny studs to be exactly that, tiny and very easy to misplace. As an adult, it amuses me that the perception is the same for me, despite having grown considerably in stature and girth.

WPC: Chaos – Blissfully Chaotic

Photography, , , ,

Chaos to me is being blissfully ignorant about something really bad about to happen because I lacked the capacity to see it coming. Its unpredictability combined fear and despair. Our friend in the image was inspired by that. He clearly has no idea that the sky is literally falling around him, about to plunge his plasticky Lego appendages into chaos. Also got to screw around with a lot of manual settings and high-speed mode to make this image.

Also had a lot of fun taking this. Had to dump my entire Lego collection behind him repeatedly to make the shot the way I liked it. I’m positive my neighbours think I’m supremely accident prone or mental. Should you like it, then I have a whole collection of Lego theme images on Flickr.

WPC: Shiny – Bauble

Photography, , , ,

It was a sunny Saturday at the Atomium in Brussels when I shot this shiny bauble reflecting a distorted reality back at me. Just a quick snap and off we went. Turned out OK for a quick snap.

WPC: H2O – Droplets

Photography, , , ,

First post. I know; EXCITEMENT. Ok fine, not really for you, but this is the humble beginnings of my photo blog and maybe the beginning of a great new hobby. Always loved taking pictures, but rarely made an effort to build any kind of skill or even know the fundamentals of photography. Hence everything is new and exciting and I’m kicking it off with this picture from the Sonian forest in Brussels. Simple droplets on a mushroom. H2O in action.
