Low Key Photography – Page 7 – Toying With Light

#troopertuesday

When you tell the new guy he’s been assigned to the Imperial Mounted Division 🤣 … Today’s poor trooper is a First Order Stormtrooper Executioner, from the 2018 Star Wars set 75197 First Order Specialists Battle Pack. His, er, horse parts are borrowed from the Collectible Minifigures Series 18 Cowboy Costume Guy. Behind the ScenesContinue reading “#troopertuesday”

May 2021

Well, that’s six months now of daily posts on Instagram, and almost four months on this blog! Without a doubt, LEGO photography has been my pandemic silver lining – it’s a simple pleasure that doesn’t depend on being able to leave the house. And it feels so good to be creating content, and notContinue reading “May 2021”

Stretcher party from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away

Just a quick grab shot today folks. Back to regular programming tomorrow. Best, Scott.

There’s a new sheriff in town

#spacecowboysaturday … Today’s character is Sheriff Not-A-Robot, a minor antagonist from The LEGO Movie realm The Old West. Along with Bad Cop and Robot SWAT bots, he and other old west characters on horseback chase Emmet, Wyldstyle, and Vitruvius, but plunge over a cliff after Emmet makes his first master build and the trio makeContinue reading “There’s a new sheriff in town”

#teamwork

This is my second entry in Brickcentral’s monthly themed activity: #bc_teamwork Our goal was to craft a scene where several minifigures/characters join forces, doing something epic, or cute, or crazy, or something very simple. Totally up to us. Our guidelines: use LEGO minifigures/characters (more than 4 different minifigures/characters please!) only new pictures use the hashtags #brickcentralContinue reading “#teamwork”

“All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it.”

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince Guilty. But as I’ve written before, my pandemic silver lining was discovering LEGO photography. It’s become a simple daily pleasure that doesn’t depend on being able to leave the house. And it lets me indulge in the serious business of play. Today’s minifigure is a custom that I frankensteinedContinue reading ““All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it.””

“It is your destiny.

Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son.” What an epic twist! Darth Vader’s reveal that he is Luke’s father is among the most famous scenes in the Star Wars saga, and is (mis)quoted to this day: Darth Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-WanContinue reading ““It is your destiny.”

‘I’m a Mandalorian. Weapons are a part of my religion.’

#thisistheway … I love The Mandalorian’s silver beskar armour – this is one of my favourite minifigures and I have featured it several times already. Introduced earlier this year, to date it is only available with the LEGO Star Wars The Mandalorian set 75299 Trouble on Tatooine. Behind the Scenes I enjoy sharing a lookContinue reading “‘I’m a Mandalorian. Weapons are a part of my religion.’”

‘Hello. I don’t believe we’ve been introduced…

… I am C-3PO, Human-Cyborg Relations’ … In the real world, C-3PO needs no introduction. This particular minifigure version was released in 2016, and has appeared in 11 LEGO sets to date. The silver protocol droid, however, is unique: U-3PO was only available in the Star Wars Advent Calendar 2016 (Day 16). Apart from colour,Continue reading “‘Hello. I don’t believe we’ve been introduced…”

Han Solo, the original space cowboy

Change my mind. #spacecowboysaturday … There are currently 47 different LEGO minifigure versions of Han Solo – I wonder if this is the most for any character? The version that I used here with dark blue legs, vest with pockets, and (normally) wavy hair has appeared in four sets: 75159 Death Star – UCS (releasedContinue reading “Han Solo, the original space cowboy”
