WIP "The Big Goodbye"

[Unitron6991]

It was raining on the city by the bay. Rainin' hard.

I like the way the first turned. I used a point like source. But I need some ideas on how to light rooms. There is also the secretary's office and a hallway, but I don't want to reveal them quite yet.

Any ideas?

These are a good idea, I have used these for lights, unfortunately it looks like a fireplace which doesnt really help in a modern setting, but hey, you gotta use what ya got

Great moc by the way

[Big Cam]

I think your lighting is awesome, it is very suspence like.

Thanks for your comments!

I really was looking for photography tips, as the moc was meant to be taken to class. I took it to class this morning and my professor loved it.

It's not everyday you get college credit for LEGO.

Later tonight I'll post some pix of the whole thing and some of the characters.

Then there are some gadgets I would like to play around with in the Physics department, like bombarding LEGO with x-rays, but that will wait till next semester.

What are you trying to accomplish with the lighting? Just general light in the room, or did you want a cdertain effect? I'd be happy to help but I need to know what you want to do. Like I said, the lighting you already did looks really cool.

I am a Physics major Comp Sci minor with a big emphisis in math, but this was for the core curriculum Theater class.

When I am taking the picture, I am trying to get the light to be a soft glow and not be too washed out looking:

[Big Cam]

OK, if you are going for a soft yellowish lighting glow like in that picture, I'd recommend using a small wattage bulb, like a 40 or 45 watt, and have a pitch black room, and then have the shutter open for like 2 seconds, and then click the light on and then off pretty quickly. Experiment with distance of the light and length of the light being on. I'd think you could get results similar to that.
