A big fan of LEGO bricks

[studbricks]

Hi everyone, my name is studbricks and I'm a big LEGO fan! My first LEGO set was 6008 Royal King and since then my love for LEGO has not stopped!

Although I am pictured with a camera, my knowledge of photography is not great, despite the fact that there are many quality resources to learn from, especially from members of the LEGO community (@brickcentral). I'm currently busy with a new job, but that's no excuse not to learn how to improve my photos! Don't be like me, the hardest part is getting started, but the effort will pay off!

I enjoy discussing the news from the LEGO world with the community members and I consider those moments very precious. I am grateful for the many friendships that started that way!

Any Stranger Things fans here? :)

On World Pizza 🍕 Day (February 9th) Vincent Crabbe wanted to try some delicious pizza but didn't have a lot of money. The Pizza 🍕 costume guy wasn't happy when saw that he changed prices to only 1$ using magic 😅

❓ Did you know that today is World Pizza 🍕 Day? 😃

“As a bodybuilder, I have to eat lots of eggs!” - “Are you sure, mate?” . To be honest I just needed an excuse to do a post with the fried egg 🙃🍳 Love this special part! . #lego #legominifigs #legophotography #toypic_community #toyphotography #studbricks #brickcentral #legofriedegg #legohumor #legobodybuilder @lego @legogermany_official https://www.instagram.com/p/CoaIPAuLhz3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tiny house happiness

Here's another photo I took with my phone inside my tiny house MOC.

I love shooting with a phone for certain situations. They're really good at capturing tight areas where you want more in focus. They're not the most stable though but still, you can get nice photos if you are very deliberate about the composition.

I'll write more about knowing your gear and using the right tool for the job. I think the photography community in general can get too hung up on gear and are quick to discount phone cameras. But a phone is a very capable tool in the hands of someone who knows what it's good for.

Maybe I'll do a little phone photography challenge soon.

Best minifigure for starting LEGO toy photography

Thanks to everyone for watching my third livestream on Tumblr!

To open, I answered a bunch of common questions like how I became a LEGO ambassador, if I get free sets, and how to shoot in public.

Then I showed the new LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series 24 with special attention to which minifigs are good for people starting out with LEGO photography:

Brown Astronaut with Spacebaby, Dinosaur Suit Fan, and Conservationist.

I think these are the easiest to tell stories with in a natural environment, which is how most people get started.

Disclaimer: LEGO sent me this set via @brickcentral to shoot.

And lastly, I showed just a small part of my LEGO minifig collection and pointed out other popular "starter" characters over the years like the Hiker from CMF Series 16.

Man, this minifig went hiking everywhere!

You can buy the Hiker on LEGO's marketplace, Bricklink, for somewhere between $8.50 and $30 in the US.

Or you can roll your own hiker like collin_bricks's custom minifig. This was a standout in a phone photography challenge I co-hosted last year:

See you again tomorrow! I'll start featuring members of the LEGO photography community on Tumblr Live so they can share their tips and insights.

Tomorrow's guest: @imaminiartaur

GOODNIGHT TOYS

Our favorite Toy shop closing for the night, did Mommy and Daddy get the toy that I want?

Happy Holidays everyone! Remember that we don't always get what we want but we have what we need.

New anti-Forestman design

Changed up the barrel for more color (the big barrel doesn't come in medium nougat).

Fed up with public transport, he decided to stay home and enjoy the model railway instead. His pets loved it too and the train was always on time! . #lego #legominifigs #legotrains #toyphotography #toypic_community #legophotography #legohumor #legomodelrailway @lego @legogermany_official https://www.instagram.com/p/ClWVYAloEMp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

His pet monkey loved going to the gym with him just to eat bananas while his owner did heavy exercises. 🍌🐒

❓ I recently started going to the gym again, I came across with the question how our pet would behave in the gym while we are exercising. What do you think? 😄
