One of our favorite window techniques we simply haven't gotten around to using for a large scale castle yet. Play around with the various colors, Grey/Black, Black/Black, Brown/Tan, etc.
Hope you enjoy it!

Oliver's body guard was injured in the fight with Deadshot. John Diggle was shot with a poisoned bullet, just as Oliver had once been. Using the herbs from Lian Yu, Oliver saved Diggle's life. He now wakes up. . .
Oliver: "Hey."
=================
Finally getting to introduce John Diggle, being recruited by Oliver to join his "crusade"! He technically should have been shown sooner, but there were specific scenes I wanted to capture. I now will be moving on by episode.
It's nice to revisit the lair again! After the first version, I do believe this is a better replica. I got to create a new floor technique along the way! As per usual, watch the scene for comparison!
Technique I'm playing with in a WIP build. Its pretty strong and as far as tile walls go relatively parts efficient. Nevertheless, there is around 250 tiles on this one small section - which amounts to my entire inventory. The size is about perfect for what I want. The only thing I don't really like about this is that the connections aren't perfectly smooth and you can see the joints. Anyone have a better way of doing this (that doesn't take 2,000 parts)? I'm thinking maybe using single plates instead of the double ones.
Welcome to Day 9 of Technique Week! Today I get to present to you what may be my favorite technique yet.
It's a flooring pattern! Though it's inspired by legostrator's most recent technique (which you should totally check out), it's really more closely related to my own brick wall technique than anything else. The picture shows pretty well how to make it, but I'll run through the process anyways.
First, place 2 layers of 1x4 plates, one vertical and one horizontal so they form a strip that is always 4 studs wide and each plate is offset by one stud from the next. Repeat this several times. Then, attach 1x1 tiles with clip on top to the strip as shown in the picture (the red clips are oriented horizontally, the black ones vertically). Then, attach 1x2 tiles to 1x2 plates with horizontal bar, and attach those to the clips. Now, you have several strips of an offset tile-pattern. You connect those using some headlight bricks, 1x1 bricks with stud on one side and 1x1 plates as shown in the picture to offset the strips from each other by half a plate both vertically and horizontally.
I personally love this technique and definitely plan on using it in a moc sometime soon.
Click here for more days of Technique Week and and here for previous techniques.
I've also used this technique in an actual build, unlike most of my other ones. :P So you can see this one in action.
This is a new wall idea I used in my last Star Wars MOC. (www.flickr.com/photos/162558636@N03/49798867747/in/datepo...)
The plates are connected by clips, which are attached to SNOT bricks.
I think it creates a great look, what do you think?
Stay healthy!

Technique: I used a syringe to add sugar syrup to a few flowers so that this Honeybee would have a reason to let me get close.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200 due to Highlight Tone Priority) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (about 2.5x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT ("A" flash head on a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe), E-TTL metering, 0 FEC, second curtain sync).
A second brick wall technique. This one is perhaps a bit less useful than the previous ones, but I figured it was still worth posting. Please let me know if you've seen this before!
Rather than placing distance between individual "bricks" as most wall techniques do, I wanted to know what would happen if the bricks were differentiated by depth instead. Here, the individual bricks in the wall are constructed using 1x2 plates with horizontal bar and 1x2 tiles. These are connected to headlight bricks or 1x1 bricks with stud on one side via robot hands, wich allows for the individual bricks to be placed at varying depths. In this example, I used three different depths with differences of roughly 1/4 of a plate (or 2 LDU). It is a rather piece intensive technique, but it yields an interesting texture and is fairly sturdy overall.
I have a couple more techniques left to post! I may not be able to maintain my one-a-day schedule for these last ones, but I hope I'll be able to post them soon.

Also, if you're like me and happen to have a lot of 1x2 plates with horizontal bar on hand, here's another brick wall technique that has a lot of cool possibilities, and here's a floor technique using these wonderful pieces as well.
Well, here is the outcome of my Round 4 challenge from Get Pushed .
I was pushed by www.flickr.com/photos/misst.shs/
to:
1. Shoot a moving subject (you choose the subject) using the panning technique
2. The final posted image must be in color and shot in the daylight
3. Must convey a definite feeling of movement
4. Shoot at a maximum shutter speed of 1/30
5. Must have at least part of the main subject somewhat in focus
6. Very little post processing (some cropping and level adjustments are O K).
I'm not going to lie, I was freaking out a little about this challenge. I had never before tried the panning technique, and was a little scared. Yet, even though this is most definitely NOT the best panning shot I have ever seen, I must admit I am satisfied. :)
You can find misst.shs' response to my challenge here!
Wow everyone... Thank you all so much for the Explore! I am so happy and honored to have given you all a photo that you love!
Kind of obvious really, since they're really just 2x2 plates, but I think they look neat. Repeating the pattern, mudguard end to end, is not as easy. If someone has a solution, I'd like to see it.
infrapinklizard has a great solution for this here.
Some wanted to see how I made the hood on my Regal T class London bus (www.flickr.com/photos/94645638@N07/16486834234/) so here it is. It's nothing special and there have been others who used this technique before.
Edit:
I think I first saw this idea used by [https://www.flickr.com/photos/35385165@N05/]'s Morgan, so credit goes to her.
Technique: Sometimes when I bait a subject they get the sweet stuff all over, and that's what's happened here. I'm holding on to the Lavender stem that the bee is perched on with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hanf to help keep the scene steady. I also used an artificial flower to keep the background from being black.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 200 with highlight tone priority) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 4x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on the Canon flash mount, E-TTL metering with -1 2/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
I applied the Droste technique to images of old/Gothic doorways and old stock certificates. Images inspired by the Droste technique will likely appear in an upcoming book by the Oscura Press. Mathmap credits to Josh Sommers (http://www.flickr.com/photos/joshsommers/).

The matte painting (which can be translated with painting backgrounds) is a technique used mainly in film used to allow the representation of landscapes or places otherwise too costly or impossible to reconstruct or reach directly.

I mean technically day 7, but I was really busy yesterday and couldn't post anything.
This one I didn't come up with entirely on my own. It's based on this tree technique by Stuart Kahler, now buried in the depths of Mocpages. It was posted all the way back in 2011, but somehow never came into common practice despite being a brilliant idea. It is based on flipping stacks of grass stalks upside-down and connecting them in a cone shape to create a realistic conifer texture. The technique is excellent, but it is very uniform, so to make it more irregular/organic, instead of constructing the cone with hidden hinges I connected six stacks of grass stalks to a center piece consisting of two more grass stalks using 1x1 flower pieces. Further stacks of grass stalks can be connected to the first six in a similar fashion, theoretically allowing for endless downward expansion as long as solid support structures are present and the connections at the top hold out against gravity. I don't know how big you can go before gravity wins out because I don't have enough pieces to try it out, but I suspect that some pretty big trees can be constructed this way.
As I said, do note that I didn't come up with this all on my own. In fact, one of the comments on the original 2011 post has a suggestion for a similar modification, though I've never seen it put into practice. So consider this particular post more of a publicity boost.
I still have one more technique left! It's my favorite of the bunch so I'll try to get it up soon.
I've also used this technique in an actual build, unlike most of my other ones. You can see it in action here.
In the 19th century, and perhaps earlier, reverse painting on glass was an art form used in mirror manufacturing, clocks and more. This is from an old Gilbert shelf clock that keeps time and adds its rhythm (need a word origin search for this one) to a quiet room. Nice background for thought and meditation. If you looks close, you can see the painter's technique.
Sydney Sails | Perspective Shot
This is a pic of the Sydney Opera House I took one morning when wandering around. I like to challenge myself to find a different perspective on these famous landmarks, and in this case I got right up close to capture the detail in the sails.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
...from a visit to Bribie Island. Practising some b&w masking techniques. Last year, it looked like this: www.flickr.com/photos/67627528@N04/14245516908 and www.flickr.com/photos/67627528@N04/14446347002 and www.flickr.com/photos/67627528@N04/12115356973
Erosion of the paperbark forest at Red Beach, Bribie Island, Queensland, Australia. Red beach is a GREAT place to take a walk (when the tide is out) and take photographs. There have been great changes since I last visited, particularly after the heavy rain and big tides during the recent cyclone (hurricane). Very interesting beach landscape and forest to the foreshore, as well as birdlife.

As requested, here is an image of the round tower technique I've been using recently.
The two bricks + two plates stack out from the tracks means the tiles interlace perfectly on the outside layer of bricks.

Hello everybody :)
Today I want to show you a wall technique I explored while sorting my parts. It´s only made out of suitcases and some clip vertical parts. Moreover it´s also possible to make some variation by using next to the dark bluish gray suitcases some in dark gray. It´s quite a stable design and a decent alternative to the walls made out ot the "hammer" parts.
Thanks for watching :)

Patrick B. shares his wooden wall technique in our latest Guest Tutorial on brickbuilt: tutorial link.
Austria, Graz, the 28 mtr high “Grazer Uhrturm”, Grazer Watchtower above the city on the “Schlossberg” is one of the city’s landmarks & can been seen from most parts of the city. A large clock-face is located at each of the four sides on the surfaces of the tower with a diameter of more than five meters, installed in 1712 in fresco technique.
A curiosity about this watch which is different from common watches,…the hour hand is longer than the smaller minute hand, which was installed much later.
