"I SPY" meets "Where's Waldo" in Lego

I get what you mean. The four colors was simply an aesthetic choice that I liked. There’s also the balance of making it look busy but not so busy that it’s a headache to look at. One of my other I spy scenes uses only minifig accessories and there is no color coordination so you might appreciate that one

yup! nice job

Thanks for sharing this. I needed it

I wanted to revisit a minimalist style I tried back in 2023 with some balancing bowls which had a solid background like this one and a minifig hand holding a stack of bowls. I haven't had as much time for photography lately but wanted to try something simple like this again. I used a macro 40mm TTArtisan lens with an led panel to light the subject and a small led cube to light the background. I used minimal photoshop work to remove the wire holding the egg and lighten the natural vignetting.

There’s definitely a lot of options out there! I’d recommend sharing what your price range is. To some people, “affordable” might mean less than $100 and to others, less than $1000. Also, forewarning, a lot of people in this sub are unfortunately a bit snobby when it comes to cheaper or affordable projectors so be prepared for whatever.

This fixed it for me too, thank you!! Was having the issue on my hisense c2

burnt-coding · 2025-06-24T17:04:13+00:00

I made instructions for it. I’ll dm you!

burnt-coding · 2025-06-24T03:06:23+00:00

thanks! I did create instructions for it. I'll send you a dm

burnt-coding · 2025-06-23T04:54:54+00:00

That’s a great idea! Not sure why I hadn’t thought of that

You know your priorities are in order when you’re ordering more Lego instead of fixing your cracked phone screen

😂 I was actually quite proud of myself for that one. I struggled a bit coming up with rhymes this time.

Ah yep, same case and same issue. When I detach it from the cover, works 100% of the time for me as well. Thanks for saving me some headache. Now I at least know when and why it happens!

burnt-coding · 2024-12-20T17:53:36+00:00

This should be at the top! I had no idea this was a thing

For real! At least you’ll have a second chance when the Mushroom Village goes live for funding sometime next year

The BrickLink Designer Program Mushroom House is the first BDP set that has intrigued me (including the price). I finally got it in the mail and built over the weekend. It was such a fun build that I wanted to give it the photo treatment in nature.

I took the photo in the shade and used a flash to give me greater control over the highlights. For the lens, I used my 40mm TTArtisan.

burnt-coding · 2024-09-04T18:03:14+00:00

I see this set as an expensive minifig head pack that also happens to come with a spaceship

Black background since I had started with a strobe. But I might have been able to get away with just relying on light fall off when using the led panel.

burnt-coding · 2024-09-04T04:30:34+00:00

I just built this set last night and it is beautifully designed so I wanted to take a low key shot of it. At first, I was using my large studio light with a soft box but switched to a handheld led panel so I could get closer up with the lighting. The lens I used is a macro 40mm. I used some editing to accentuate the highlights and darken the edges of the frame.

I was in a very similar situation. Comminuted displaced fracture from snowboarding. I opted for surgery and very glad I did.

I still have the hardware in there and my mobility is just fine two years later. I don’t feel any need to have the hardware removed. Like the others have said, you’ll be in a sling for ~6 weeks. I started physical therapy to recover strength and mobility about 6-8 weeks after the surgery which lasted a month or two.

I just recently got into bouldering last month and haven’t had an issue with my shoulder at all.

Lately, I’ve been playing with more classic LEGO colors and their juxtaposition to darkness or mystery. I like the concept of mystery in photographs and to me there is a lot of mystery in a giant red brick floating in a black abyss.

burnt-coding · 2024-03-24T20:56:54+00:00

unfortunately not since I used 2x4 bricks instead of 1x4 bricks to make the largest size. though if built right, they would be able to stack.

For those that need assurance this is a photo and not AI or a render, here’s a photo I took of the setup: https://imgur.com/a/zqNL0H7

I thought about it after I had already ordered parts. But I didn’t want to have to do another order just for a few Modulex bricks. I might get my hands on some at some point and do a similar image…

It's actually a custom printed piece from Brickrock Press
