I began experimenting around with lanterns earlier, and Thought I'd share the results. The one in the middle right is pretty basic and common and the one on the right I saw somewhere else (hopefully they don't mind), but I decided to include them anyway. Hope you like them!

Finished what I think are two of the most complicated sections in this design. The roof peak and the balcony had so many details on angled surfaces it took all my tricks to figure out how to fit it all in.

can be refined, but this is the current technique. most is plates and tiles, but for the diagonal track use 2 x 1 x 2 slope bricks on their sides.

First of all until I get my sharpening technique down pat it looks a lot better on black

 

After all this rain I knew that we could be in for a good sunset and wanted to play my cards right to make sure I was somewhere good for it. So I headed down to elephant rock in palm beach a local favourite of photographers and was lucky enough to get the sunset I was hoping for.

 

Next time for a shot like this I think i'll have no choice but bracketing due to the large difference in light from one side of the frame to the other.

Inside of the tower, showing how I achieved the angled top.

 

The stack of brick with either 3 or 5 studs can be used with one dot (1x1 round plate) on either side, By placing two of the 2xn plates on alternate sides and twisting, it allows a tight and clean connection,

 

It the happens that a cheese slope fits in the top cleanly (as can be seen in the insert)

This base is held together by the curved slopes. I am trying to improve it.

The Lego watch face part is really useful! I use it to make the lens above and on the scope for this gun. Awesome part!

Much simpler and more elegant solution: the 1x1 cylinders have been replaced by 2 plates and a jumper, and the clumsy headlight brick construction with 2 brackets. It can easily be extended to create something like a thruster/engine.

*Not the brand or technique is important in photographic art, but the understanding of the things behind the photographed subjects, the emotion, the composition, the joy or the sadness, the life itself that is mysteriously coming unrepeatable as a gift.

(Horia Stanicel)

 

* I have seen a large part of the most popular or devoted photographers' photographs over time and of course I can say that most of them have speculated on different situations, angles of photography, shadows, different brightness, feelings, human tragedies, all kinds of paradoxical situations that of course make them noticed. I do not want to bring any name into question for the simple reason that each photographic artist has a unique value. However, I regard the photographic art as a simple spectator that is difficult to be convince most of the times. I contemplate the creation of God and every time I photograph I do not forget how grateful we should be for all the beauty that our Creator gave it to us! People who forget this do nothing but hate themselves and the world they live in and photography is nothing but a mirror of this beautiful or crooked world.(Horia Stanicel)

  

*Nu aparatul foto sau tehnica este importantă în arta fotografică, ci înțelegerea lucrurilor care stau în spatele subiectelor fotografiate,emoția, compoziția, bucuria sau tristețea, viața însăși care vine tainic irepetabil ca un dar.

(Horia Stanicel)

 

*Am văzut o mare parte a fotografiilor celor mai populari sau consacrați artiști fotografi de-a lungul timpului și desigur pot spune că majoritatea dintre ei au speculat diversele situații,unghiuri de fotografiere, umbre, luminozitati diferite,sentimente,tragedii umane chiar,tot felul de situații paradoxale care desigur să-i facă remarcați.Nu vreau să aduc vreun nume în discuție pentru simplul motiv că fiecare artist fotograf are o valoare unică. Totuși eu privesc arta fotografică ca un simplu spectator greu de convins de cele mai multe ori.Eu contemplu creația lui Dumnezeu și de fiecare dată când fotografiez nu uit cât de recunoscători ar trebui să fim pentru toată frumusețea pe care Creatorul nostru ne-a daruit-o! Oamenii care uită aceasta nu fac decât să se urâțească pe ei înșiși dar și lumea în care trăiesc iar fotografia nu este decât o oglindă a acestei lumi frumoase sau urâțite.

In Gatchina, the former residence of the Russian emperors in the vicinity of St. Petersburg, on the shore of the "Black Lake", stands a small palace which bears the name "Priory Palace". Although it was originally intended to serve for only twenty years, it is already in its third century of existence. The Priory Palace is so exceptional that it surely ought to be in the "Guinness Book of Records". Everything about this building is unusual: its name, its architectural appearance, the materials and techniques of its construction, as well as the legends which are bound up with it.

 

Constructed for a prior of the Maltese Order, the palace never actually became a priory, although it was presented to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem by a decree of Paul I dated 23 August 1799. In the 19th century, the Priory was occupied first by the Court choristers, then by the master of the royal hunt; in Soviet times it became a place for outings, a "house of rest", a Pioneers' house, then a museum of local history. Then the palace was closed, being by now in a state of such disrepair that it seemed about to collapse into the Black Lake. At that time the palace bore a new name - people called it the "Crumbling Castle".

 

A romantic page of Russian history is bound up with the knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta. The year 1999 was the 900th anniversary of the founding of the order, which today numbers about 12,000 members, as well as the 200th year since the election of Tsar Paul I as the order's Grand Master.

 

It is in Jerusalem, the "city of cities", that the tomb of Our Lord is located. Thousands of Christian pilgrims made their way to the Holy Land to visit it. In the pilgrims' refuge attached to the church of St. John the Baptist, not far from Jerusalem, monks tended the pilgrims and received donations from them as a mark of their gratitude. The emblem of the order is a white eight-pointed cross, symbolising the eight virtues - faith, charity, truth, justice, innocence, humility, sincerity and patience. The monks were bound by their rules not only to provide help for the injured, but also to defend Christianity against the followers of Islam. Thus the order became an order of warrior-monks, who were known as "Knights of St. John" or "Knights Hospitallers". But the crusades undertaken by the order ended in failure and they were forced to flee to the island of Rhodes, which was their home for two centuries. In the year 1522 the forces of the Turkish sultan Suleiman the Magnificent attempted to capture Rhodes. After a six-month siege the Grand Master of the order, Philippe de l'Isle-Adam, surrendered the island. Full of admiration for the knights' courage, Suleiman allowed them to leave the island by ship.

 

A new place of refuge for the knights was found in 1530, when Charles V, king of Spain and Sicily, gave the island of Malta to the order in return for a symbolic annual payment of one hunting falcon. During the years of its residence in Malta the order of St. John developed into a very powerful and wealthy community; its knights combined a high degree of monasticism with a code of knightly honour. In the north-east of the island they built a fortress which, during the 400 years of its history, no-one has ever succeeded in taking by storm. The name of its builder - Grand Master Jean de La Vallette - has been immortalised in the name of Malta's capital, Valletta.

 

The French Revolution drove the knights from Malta and deprived the order of its wealth; its estates were confiscated for the benefit of the people. On 6 June 1798 Napoleon Bonaparte, on the way to Egypt, raided Malta. The order allowed the general's forces to enter the harbour, and the invulnerable fortress of Valletta fell without a shot being fired. By Napoleon's decree, all the silver from the churches built by the Hospitallers was melted down. The Grand Master von Gompesch was exiled, and the knights were compelled to leave the island within 72 hours.

 

Relations between the Russian state and the Maltese order were first established in 1698, when Peter I's ambassador Boris Petrovich Sheremetev was received with honour in Valletta by the head of the order Grand Master Raymond de Pereylos, and, though he was not a Catholic, became the first Russian knight of this Catholic order. During the reign of Catherine II an alliance was formed between Russia and Malta against Turkey. In the Turkish war several officers of the order fought on Russia's side. One of these was Count Yuliy Pompeevich Litta, who received a golden sword "for valour" and the third degree of the Order of St. George. And it was Litta who brought the insignia of the order to Russia for Paul I, with the request that he should take the order under his patronage. On the 29th November 1798 the solemn ceremony took place by which the Russian emperor assumed the title of Grand Master. From Malta certain holy relics were brought to Gatchina - a piece of Christ's cross, the icon of the Mother of God from Philerma, the right hand of John the Baptist.

 

Paul I was a great admirer of the order. From childhood he had read and re-read the Abbot Vertot's "History of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem". He was shaken by the fate of Malta and came to the aid of the order. An agreement was signed by which the Polish priorate became the Great Russian priorate. Two priorates were established - a Polish, Catholic priorate and a Russian, Orthodox priorate. The Maltese knights came to Russia, where they were granted lands and high office. The residence of the order was transferred to St. Petersburg. Paul judged that this powerful knightly order would be of assistance in the struggle against the revolutionary ideas which were then spreading in Europe. An institute of honorary commanders was established, admission to which was not dependent on proof of noble origin. The cross of the order was awarded for services to the state, either military or civil.

 

Paul gave to the knights of the Russian priorate the church of St. John the Baptist on St. Petersburg's Stone Island, and the Vorontsov Palace (now the Suvorov Military Academy). Next to the Vorontsov Palace the architect Giovanni Quarenghi built a Maltese chapel, and in Gatchina the architect N. A. Lvov created the Priory Palace for the French emigre Prince Conde, a former prior of the order. (A "prior" is one of the main officials of the order, and "priory" is the designation of a prior's residence.) Before succeeding to the throne, during his travels in Europe Paul had visited the country residence of Prince Conde at Chantilly. He recalled that in Paris Louis XVI had received him as a friend, but that in Chantilly Prince Conde had received him as a king. Mindful of the prince's hospitality, Paul wanted to construct a palace for him in his beloved Gatchina. But Conde never came to Gatchina, and the palace was used by the Maltese knights for meetings of the order under the presidency of their Grand Master, and as a "spare" palace.

Here are a few more visor techniques I found and have queued up. I like to save them until I use them before I post, but they're starting to overflow.

 

I don't know if some of these have been found but in the case that they aren't, I'm posting them here.

 

p.s. I still have a ton of techniques that I haven't shown yet.

I really wanted a 1 x 2 cheese slope stuck on each end of that girder. The one end was easy, but the other was not. That's pneumatic tubing around the minifig hands. The 1 x 2 plate helps to hold it, but isn't necessary.

oh we haven't finished yet

 

The bottoms of the 1 x 2 dark grey plates are flush with the edges of the 1 x 3 light grey plates. The dark grey 1 x 2 tiles can be arranged to either protrude 1/2 plate or recess 1/2 plate.

The technique I used to tile the floor.

Here is the result of the Night Time Bungalow Snow Scene photo session.

Keeping the camera low, or at "eye level" [if you were actually in the scene] helps maintain the illusion of scale.

Anything above that tends to destroy the magic. Although there are times when a "birds eye view" will work. Movies have given us a broader view of reality, so it becomes easier to accept an unusual perspective and still be believable.

See: Matinee at the Elgin [in this set].

Even more tablescraps! As usual, see if you can figure out how to build them; if you figure it out, send your solution to me (privately); I'm interested in seeing how other people would build these.

 

Information/Part Restrictions:

 

All hidden sides look the same as the visible sides.

No flex tube or rubber bands

 

Grey cube: No inverted tiles, no technic pins

 

Blue sphere: This one may look similar to the one I posted a week ago...but with this one, on the top and bottom dishes, the studs are rotated 45* (see picture). No LOTR rings.

 

Black box: No using the pony ear technique, no technic pieces, no LOTR rings

 

Purple wedge:

No 2x4 plates

Basically it uses the same system like the 1x3 plate with 1x1 round plates but now with the new tiles it has a much smoother and cleaner look from the outside!

Marin Stipković's idea for castle window.

OK all you Lego geniuses out there. Figure out an easier way to do this. I've got a project in the works that needs 5 or 6 of these lined up like this, but i'm wondering if there's an easier or more low profile way to do it.

A Square, a Pentagon, a Hexagon and a Heptagon made of 1x2 bricks with clip. The first three are pretty wobbly, but the last one is quite firm (though it breaks under pressure). The heptagon may also be the smallest heptagon possible with Lego. Feel free to prove me wrong. Instructions are provided in this post on Mocpages.

Technique undoubtedly helps make photography magical, but I prefer to work with atmosphere.- Ellen von Unwerth

I finally got some watercolour brushes so finished this image off with the proper tools and I quite like it this time around :)

I looked at photographer Naoya Hatakeyama. His technique of capturing water on a window creates a bokeh effect that I was inspired by.

Performans tekniğe bağlıdır. Parmaklarınızı açmanız, kollarınızı çekme stiliniz, nefes almanız; her şey sonunda performansı etkiliyor.

 

Your performance in the water all depends on your technique. How you crawl, how you breathe are important parameters. Here open fingers and both arms stretched forward should result in bad performance.

 

Combining 12V and 9V parts to make a wheelset....

Had some of those old 12V wheelsets lying around and thought the whole had a good size for the old 9V wheels. They do roll quite nicely, can't tell how they compare to other techniques though... :/
