New Project: Lego Mikes Travels

[XFile2708]

Inspired primarily by @Yv recent post here I thought with winter setting in I'd look to do my own little lego project.

So after raiding the kids toybox here's Lego Mike setting off on his travels

For keeping it a little different all shots will be taken with my Nokia 1020 mobile phone

Welcome aboard the Lego Express Marcus

I Love that, the colours and setting really work, looking forward to seeing more

Lol thanks Yv - kudos to you for kick-starting my interest!

Brilliant shame the lighting is not the same temperature as the background image to really sell that he is there but I like what you have done.

@Yv has inspired the project section to be all lego men/women that will pee some people off. Lol

Yes I noticed that afterwards - I could have done with lighting the figure with a seperate light to blend him in more.. early doors yet though...

Nice work mate.

Cheers matey

I would like to think there is more to life than 52's/365's, as admirable as they are

Lego Mike heads into town on a mission to stock-up on supplies for his upcoming journey... cold and windy today so out comes his new beanie hat as well

He bought all the essentials - Pickled Onion Monster Munch, Cadburys Fruit n Nut, Jaffa Cakes and a bottle of Coke with his name on

Brilliant idea. I like the way youve done the text. But the car does look like it's hovering, to me anyway.

 

[XFile2708]

Thanks Mike - yes I'm still trying to get my head around some of the Photoshop elements where I want to combine a subject I've taken with a specific background...

I'm also struggling a bit with using my mobile phone for all the shots (mainly with the DOF I get from the Nokia 1020) so may have to start taking some of the shots next year with my EPL5 - either way more to come in 2015

 

[Raptor Mike]

Ah yes, I forgot you're using your mobile. Real impressive off a mobile
