I am really learning lots by myself just taking photographs of Lego. I was quite sad for my son this morning as we had a tiny bit of snow and he really wanted to play with his Lego City Arctic builds but had to go to school. I knew it would have all melted by the time he got home so promised to take some pictures for him.
Now before you think I am mean having all the fun then let me tell you that my hands got really cold. Actually who I am I kidding I had lots of fun and felt empowered that I figured stuff out for myself.
Using real snow makes great pictures and is much easier than fake stuff.- If I do not like what is in my shot then I can use a background.
- I can half press my camera button to focus on my object (Lego) but then completely move the camera so that it is in a different position in the frame before taking the photo (if I don’t do this then the object isn’t focussed and goes all blurry).
Remembering to use different angles and locations.- To think outside the box.
- That I can make videos from photos and then edit them. What that means is it is difficult to split a video when it is just videos, but by saving it as a video then I can. Does that make sense?

This is so cool. great pictures. I think you should have scooped up some snow and froze it for him!
I was hoping there would be more – but great idea.
These photos are so cute! I know my boy would love doing this when he’s a bit bigger 🙂
I warn you it is a very cold way of playing lol
Great photos! My two love Lego and we have it all over the house! 🙂
This is fantastic – love the pics and how you’ve done the video
Fabulous pictures! I imagine you had a lot of fun doing this x
They are great photos – I would never have thought of taking any out in the snow (not that we have had any!).
It was instantly what I thought of when I first saw the range at the Toy Fair last year.
Oh this is brilliant, I love Lego but have no small people play it with 🙁 x
You can play it by yourself it is a lot of fun 🙂
I like your thinking. I took my wired Adam and his dog to “play” in the garden once… pictures in a real nature looked so much better then the one taken inside.
Love it! I am learning from you too 🙂 Video looks fab. Am well jell of your snow, even if it was only a little bit! Wind and rain down here, lucky us, not!
Aww glad I can help and thank you. It really was a tiny amount I had to keep scooping it around.
These photos are so awesome! I’m a little jealous of your snow too. We haven’t had any 🙁
Hehe looks like you’ve been having great fun
THese are amazing…….i need snow and now!!
Great pictures Joy. We have some of the fake stuff insta snow and Erin loves that plus you dont get cold hands!
Fantastic photos-my son would love this. It’s a shame the snow didn’t stick around though.
This is awesome. Love it x
This is a fabulous idea. We are still waiting for some snow here so we can do stuff like this.
big kid at work and some lovely photography tips too! You did better than us at least getting a covering of snow. What did your son make of your photos?
Love this post! Such great pics – so much fun 🙂
This looks like you had great fun. I remember making colour icecubes for photos a few years ago
Great photos! My oldest absolutely loves Lego Arctic and would love to see these photos! Brilliant.
Totally jealous of your snow. I am loving the lego photography though!!
