11 Fun Lego Photos
Have you ever met a Lego enthusiast? They can be a lot of fun to talk to and will open up a whole world (or perhaps ‘culture’ is a better word) for you around the little colorful bricks that many of us stop playing with as kids. Many Lego lovers are also keen photographers who love to document their work, fun, humor and creativity. Here’s just a quick sample of some of the hundreds of thousands of Lego Photos on Flickr.

Very creative I must say. Too bad I am too old to have ever had any Lego toys. My google research tells me that lego was invented in 1958, but I really don’t remember it being around until at least the late 60s.

There is a guy on Red Bubble who does a lot of lego photos. Really cool to see.

That’s a very nice collection of shots here. I had loads of it but that is at my parents house 1200kms away from home. My daughter is playing with the Duplo series. But that is not so interesting. So I will have to wait a few more years before I can start with this….

Hi – Great collection of photos.
My lad (now 12) is mad on lego – loads of star wars etc – loads of build time between us but that’s what Boxing Day is for isn’t it?
Most complicated was the Ferrari last xmas.
I’ll see if I can find a picture.

I can’t compete with the quality of these macro photos, but I took this set of photos of a lego contemporary art installation a couple of years ago:

Very funny and creative pics, I like them – especially the recreation of famous Photos! Excellent job, I’ll try this, too

This guy on a message board I’m on is taking pictures of legos every day for an entire year. He’s about halfway through.

Mine are not of nearly the same caliber, but I have been taking similar shots with my Chilean chanchitos (3-legged ceramic piggies). =)

If you like lego and also happen to like Eddie Izzard you will love these videos (I know its not exactly photography related, unless you include video, but its very funny).

This group on flickr takes photos of toys are part of the unseen war. Always brainstorming things for this but have yet to dive in. Interesting ideas though.

The articles also explain little bit about what is tilt shift photography.

After looking at the pictures, I am about 75% on my way to the nearest store to buy the Lego Sets and get clicking away.
Thank you for posting these images.

Not really into legos, but I love the recreation of the tankman photo. I’ve always thought that was one of the greatest photos ever taken, subject wise

I love Lego’s. These are great shots. Once I shot Lego’s for a school project, the series came out well for the project, but sadly I don’t have the right lens or lighting to make such nice ones.Hopefully soon…
December 5th, 2008 at 9:35 pm

December 5th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
These are great fun. Although the belly button shot is disturbing.

Lego is brilliant, it can reach you on so many levels!
December 6th, 2008 at 8:55 am
Never too old for legos. Love the shots!

Love the Hand of God goal, and the Tianenmen Square one. And Indiana Jones holding threepio is a big web of references (people with semiotics background who’ve played the LEGO Indiana Jones video game will probably agree).

This is great! My son will have a blast at this when I show him :)
December 12th, 2008 at 10:20 am
the last one was replaying Tian’an men Square incidence?
Anyway… those were all shot with macro lenses right?
