❤️FEATURE: @pirates016

Hello community

This month I am in charge of features and I would like to present this shot.

I selected this photo because I appreciate the general atmosphere it gives off. In addition I liked how its author worked with a blurred foreground to be able to highlight his scene in the background.

The scene he wanted to show us takes place in the background. He could have refrained from putting elements in the foreground to ease the viewer's attention towards the main subject of the story. But to make the scene even more immersive, he added a foreground. We have the impression of being present, hidden in a grove, observing what is happening...simply brilliant!

I asked him to tell me a little more about it and here is what he answers me.

" Again I used a tip from BrickCentral that talked about the need to frame these photos in order to draw the eye to what you want. So for my pirate theme I regularly use palm trees and vegetation in the foreground so that the eye is drawn to the main element of the photo.

I chose this oblique angle because it allows to better see the constructions and the interactions between the characters rather than a simple front view. "

I hope you enjoy this picture as much as i do. Keep tagging your pictures with #brickcentral and don’t forget our evergreen hashtags.

🥳 10TH ANNIVERSARY PHOTO CONTEST

BrickCentral is 10 years old this month! Can you believe it?

Obviously, we gotta do a contest and give away some LEGO sets to our amazing community to mark this occasion.

How about something that symbolizes our birthday AND photography: light! Specifically, candlelight.

Take a photo with a brick-built candle in it and light it using the various tips the BC mods will share with you every week in these contest posts. Or drop by our Discord and exchange tips with each other. We'll share the best of those here.

Mine's super easy to do: shine a light on the flame element. In my BTS shots, you can clearly see the effect with the back light on and off. The third had my lights on at higher power with a fill.

I've set up the LED panel so the flames on the candelabra are simply catching that light. That's it.

The flash is to "motivate" the candles-- make like the candles are actually lighting the face. This can be any light source but I have a flash.

And the white card to bounce light from the other side onto my subject more so it's not in shadow.

What parts can you use for the lit candle?

1x1 round plates, 1x1 round bricks, candle stick, candelabra, feather/plume, and flame are some examples. But feel free to create your own! Non-minifig scale is totally welcome! I await your giant candles!

For our 10th anniversary, we're going to pick 3 grand prize winners instead of one. Each will get the super cute Cozy House 31139 set (and maybe an opportunity to show it off on BC? Hmmm? Hmm? We'll talk.)

(Sorry but there will be no Community Vote this time around, folks. It'll return in the next regular contest though!)

📜 THE RULES:

▫️ Take a NEW photo of LEGO with a lit candle in it

▫️ Tag with #ten years of bc

Multiple entries are always allowed.

🗓️ CLOSING DATE: Apr 27 22:00 CET

🏆 PRIZES:

🥇 Contest Winners:

One (1) Cozy House 31139 set

▫️ Must be 18+ to be eligible to win (no proxies allowed)

▫️ Shipping from LEGO is available to your country

Mascot Race

Every year in England all the mascots of the country's sports clubs meet for a race. A race that should become widespread in all countries, it looks so fun!!

Water Volleyball

A sport that I love to practice in summer is beach volley. It's even more fun when you practice it in the pool. The spirit of competition quickly wins over all participants ... because no one wants to be a chore of mojitos

Splash Milk Diving

Do you know this very famous sport in gingerbread? The "splash" contest in a bowl of milk? A sport which has the right to its own international competition now. A very well attended and hotly contested competition.
