I like that light effect. Did you use any kind of mist or set your camera for longer exposure to catch the beam? Quote

dr_spock Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Nice work. Reminds me of Modelroader magazine pic from a long time ago. Quote
SavaTheAggie Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 Way cool! I like that light effect. Did you use any kind of mist or set your camera for longer exposure to catch the beam? Thanks much! Actually it's a bit of both. Almost all of my Scenic Tour photos are taken on a long exposure - I do it to overcome narrow depth of field from zooming in so much. As for the "mist", I have been talking about doing a photo like this for quite some time, but I've always been concerned about dry ice or humidifiers around electronics - water and electricity don't mix. The "mist" is actually body powder, "smoked" out of the bottle it comes in. I simply turned the bottle on its side a bit and squeezed it over and over, causing a "smoke" of body powder to shoot out. Caused quite a mess (especially doing it over and over trying to get the shot "right", but it was worth it, I think. I used a can of air and a swiffer to clean up after each shot. You almost have to look twice to see it's Lego.....that is an AWESOME shot 'SavaTheAggie' - dam, that would make a COOL wallpaper indeed - I'm a conformist! ! Thanks much! I've tried recreating it to come up with an alternate view, but apparently this was one of those one-in-a-million, never to be duplicated shots. Nice work. Reminds me of Modelroader magazine pic from a long time ago. Thanks! I wouldn't be surprised if the photo that inspired me is the same one you saw in the magazine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PRR-T1.jpg --Tony Quote
