Day 35 - Lego

Not my normal type of photo today but I quite like it!

My sister, Fiona, called me today to say that she was looking for a photo of lego and was wondering if I'd be able to help! Fiona's company were doing an advert and were looking for an image of a piece of lego to use on the design. The problem they were having was that the photographers they were asking for this image were charging a ridiculous price so Fiona thought of me! She said, "if you can get a piece of lego, photograph it on a white background the job is yours!" I couldn't say no so went in the hunt of lego! I was doing a day's teaching so there had to be some lego in school somewhere...surely! My mission was successful when I found that the physics department had lego...don't ask me why..so the task of photographing lego was on!
I set up the lighting and spent a good 45 mins photographing one piece of lego, then a further hour and a bit on the computer and this was my result. I had been sent a photo of angle to take the lego from and had also been asked to do it with and with a shadow..talk about specific!! Anyway I sent it off and it's being used by the company so I'm hoping this may lead to them using me for more things in the future!
Who would have thought I'd be leaving teaching and photographing lego? I'm loving it!!
