"Men have wasted away before it, not knowing if what they have seen is real, or even possible."
—Albus Dumbledore explaining the danger of the mirror to Harry Potter
_______________________
Shoutout to legoillustrator, who invented that floor technique!
Oh, (Kit Bricksto ;)) a few words to the mirror: It's not that I would see nothing in it, but I'm actually pretty happy/lucky with my family, my job and my friends...beside that I recieved the gift to live in a save place, without a fear about my life.
Day 3! As always, please let me know if you've seen this technique used in the past.
EDIT: Ted Andes pointed out in the comments that he came up with the inner triangle about 6 years ago. :P So think of this more as a development of a preexisting technique.
This one is a little bit less piece intensive. As you can see from the picture, it's a relatively simple way of constructing a triangle shape, based on robot hands (or "Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw, Cut Edges and Hole on Side"). When you connect three robot hands clip to end as shown in the picture, they form a fairly sturdy triangle. From there, it's just a matter of expanding outward with 1x1 plates with clip.
The advantage this technique has over the simpler and more commonplace method of using 1x4/2x2 hinges is that it allows for the incorporation of cheese slopes to create corners. It does result in weird gaps along the sides of the triangle which as far as I can tell can't really be filled with anything, but I guess there's always a tradeoff.
I still have four more of these on the way! In the meantime, if you're interested in more triangle techniques, also take a look at this one I posted a couple of years back.
As much as I love the BA minigun, I always thought that the body would look better as a square-y shape. Thanks to the usability of the BF megagun, the BA handle & barrel, a cut piece of flex tube, and a monopod, that is now possible. Use with credit, and enjoy! :D
Inspirations tagged.
And here's a look at the technique used to reverse the stud connections inside.
The 1x1 piece with the thick 'o' clip is the key part. And the result is a very tight connection that can be used to quickly reverse stud direction. it's three plates thick. And depending how you line up the 'o' clips, you can have studs facing other directions too, and, they'll line up very neatly with the edges of the bricks.
De G à D:
Glacier du Nant Blanc coiffé de l'Aiguille Verte (4122m), les Drus, puis au loin l'Aiguille du Midi en premier plan du Mont Blanc, Vallée de Chamonix.
vu des Aiguilles des Grands Motets (3295m)
Chamonix
Panoramique.
Came up with this variant when I wanted to extend the one in black/white and realized it didn't work. The distance changed - to the better. Now I can fit 1x1 bricks and two cheese slopes and the stress is almost gone.
The technique is implemented in this MOC: www.flickr.com/photos/eiffelben/6197444089/in/set-7215762...
Localizado no coração de Copenhaga, na histórica Grønnegade 27, ergue-se um edifício em enxaimel, testemunho da rica herança arquitetónica da cidade. Esta construção, com a sua distinta estrutura de madeira aparente preenchida com alvenaria, exemplifica uma técnica construtiva comum na Dinamarca e no norte da Europa desde a Idade Média até ao século XIX. A fachada colorida, as janelas simétricas e o telhado inclinado são elementos característicos que conferem charme e otimizam a entrada de luz natural. A sobrevivência deste edifício aos grandes incêndios que devastaram Copenhaga sublinha a sua resiliência e importância histórica. Atualmente, integrando-se na vibrante vida comercial da Grønnegade, este exemplar de arquitetura enxaimel representa uma fusão harmoniosa entre o património cultural e a funcionalidade contemporânea, preservando a identidade e a história da capital dinamarquesa.
Located in the heart of Copenhagen, at the historic Grønnegade 27, stands a half-timbered building, testimony to the city's rich architectural heritage. This construction, with its distinctive exposed wooden structure filled with masonry, exemplifies a building technique common in Denmark and northern Europe from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. The colorful facade, symmetrical windows, and sloping roof are characteristic elements that lend charm and optimize natural light. The building's survival of the great fires that devastated Copenhagen underscores its resilience and historical importance. Currently integrated into the vibrant commercial life of Grønnegade, this example of half-timbered architecture represents a harmonious fusion of cultural heritage and contemporary functionality, preserving the identity and history of the Danish capital.

Star trails of Namibia 🌠
Under the previous star trail image you've asked me lots of curious questions about star trails I photographed in Namibia.
So here are some tips for you how to make star trails!
Plan your trip to some dark sky location, like Namibia, Atacama, Bolivia, Australia. Any suggestions of your favorite locations are appreciated in comments.
Plan the position of the milky way and southern cross (stars will "spin" over southern cross). I use @photopills app for planning
1) I used wide angle, 14-24 mm Nikkor + Nikon D850, and 24 mm on my second, d810 (24-70). This image is from shots on D810.
2) I setup 25 s shutter speed, f/2.8, iso 4000. Why 25s? I also wanted to make timelapse + pick up single stills (single frame 25 s with stars as dots, not trails)
You can use rule of "500" to calculate right shutter speed for your lens. Let's say, you use 20 mm lens, then it's 500/20=25 s
3) Iso is high to get more stars and colors. If you don't want timelapse and stills, but your main goal are colorful star trails then it's better to use iso ~1600.
3) use fast lenses, like 1.8 or 2.8. Lenses with aperture 4 is usually much darker for night photography. You can make lens suggestions in comments, my choice is 14-24 nikkor lens.
4) I used in-camera interval timer. Check if you camera has one. Otherwise you need programmable remote release. Nikon cameras have interval timer.
5) I setup interval 2 s between shots. 1 s might be bad as camera will not have enough time to write a photo on sd card + overheat the sensor==increase noise
6) for Nikon cameras there's a crazy thing you should know about: interval there means not 2 s between shots, but time before start of exposure and finish + 2 s. For example, in my case of 25 s shutter speed + 2 s interval, the "Nikon interval" is 27 s!
7) on d850 I used electronic shutter, so it was possible to get 700 shots against to 400 on d810
8) after sequence of images is done, make a "blue hour" photo, or photo with light in the scene. For both published images I used a blue hour photo with 15 s shutter speed, iso 320 and f/7.1
That will make foreground with much better quality and get rid of hot pixels.
9) I use starstax software to merge all sequence into one star trail image
10) before merging photos I process one photo (usually from middle of the sequence), increasing saturation and vibrance a lot and meanwhile decreasing blue channel saturation in HSL
Decreasing exposure -2 ev if it's shot on iso 4000. Highlights and whites are also decreased.
11) process in Photoshop merging blue hour shot and star trail shot. You can use my techniques from Danielkordantutorials.com including luminosity masks to bring awesomeness to nice photo
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.
FOR ABCs and 123s group, *P* is for PENS
For the Sliders Sunday group, and also for Dave C. with the *Soul of a photograph group. This started life as a photo of several red & white ball point pens and a a few red extra caps. I found this version the most interesting and colorful.
I took three versions, and thought I was working to get all 3 on Flickr. A lot of time got wasted, as only this version ended up on Flickr so far. I'll be going back to try to fix the problem, but I am not a very happy camper about it. Of the two versions that are mostly just red & white on dark background, I gave one a watercolor technique and one an oil paint technique.
The two that I thought did not show up at all, actually got posted but with quite a delayed reaction. There was no sign of them for quite awhile. Oh well...

Last year I messed with various solutions for changing trans-clear to trans-yellow and after failing to achieve anything acceptable, I nearly gave up. Then I realized I'd overlooked the simplest (and what I now believe to be the best) solution: permanent marker.
It's great because the color is spot on, it's safe from coming off when handling, and all that is required to revert it back to trans-clear is some rubbing alcohol.
Some of my personal builds using this technique (marker was applied both inside and out):
Go and make some great new builds now that the trans-yellow gates are wide open :D
After modern architecture yesterday, let's see something more 'traditional' ;)
This is actually my 3rd upload today, had to delete the 2 other photos before, as they did not show up in the contact lists...
Have a nice week!
Technique/Processing:
Single shot handheld at 1/15s and ISO 900. Converted to bw using Silver Efex Pro. Added a bit of glamour glow (Color Efex Pro) to the windows. No HDR/DRI like processing, the dynamic range really is incredible :)
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 :)
Technique/Processing:
I put the camera onto the balustrade of the stairs and exposed for 3 seconds to achieve the motion blur. It's not very sharp in 100% view as i had to set the aperture to f/20.
No HDR or DRI processing this time - only one single exposure, but i tried to retain as much detail in the highlights and shadows usind RAW and Nik's Color Efex (Tonal Contrast).
Info:
Grand Central Terminal (GCT) — often popularly (and incorrectly) called Grand Central Station or simply Grand Central — is a terminal station at 42nd Street and Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan in New York City. Built by and named for the New York Central Railroad in the heyday of American long-distance passenger trains, it is the largest train station in the world by number of platforms: 44, with 67 tracks along them. They are on two levels, both below ground, with 41 tracks on the upper level and 26 on the lower. When the Long Island Rail Road's new station, below the existing levels, opens (see East Side Access), Grand Central will offer a total of 75 tracks and 48 platforms. The terminal covers an area of 48 acres.
The terminal serves commuters traveling on the Metro-North Railroad to Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties in New York State, and Fairfield and New Haven counties in Connecticut.
Although the terminal has been properly called "Grand Central Terminal" since 1913, many people continue to refer to it as "Grand Central Station". Technically, "Grand Central Station" is the name of the nearby post office, as well as the name of a previous rail station on the site, and is also used to refer to a New York City subway station at the same location.

Not sure if it’s been shared by others. This is a simple SNOT technique that has small footprint and is quite stable.
This is the lobby of an office building that has been built from reclaimed materials. It’s an understatement to say that it is electic. Every door in the building is different. I didn’t have my “good” camera with me so could’t get the depth I wanted for this. Someday when I have lots of time I will go back with my DSLR and just go crazy.
Still very busy wilth packing, getting my house ready to put on the market, and my new house build. I have very little time for photography right now.

Couldn't wait to try this...I LOVED Tami's and Jennifer's cards so much!!
I used Hero Hues chalk for the background though as I wanted the wording to show through....
Can't wait to get more stamps I can do this with!!!
Trying my HDR technique again tonight on the photo I took of Bournemouth pier at the weekend.
Still not sure I am doing it right, as the effects are not what I am seeing with other HDR efforts from others on the web.
The colours don't feel right, and I may have tweaked the sliders too far on some aspects.
Any tips are welcomed :)
Technique used for the mid-cylinder.
Very high setting render using Stud.io.
