Hello community!

We've asked to our spotlighted artist @jbarchietto to provide an exclusive picture for @brickcentral along with some insights on how he made it, and here's what he have to say:

"One of my first photos was of a Ninjago dynamically slicing a banana. The photo was very popular so I decided to use it with many other fruits and create a series called "Fruit Ninja". Today I'm adding a wink to it by adding the orange. The most complicated part of this series is to work with the fruits, often heavy and bulky, and to find tricks to position them correctly.

And this time instead of the usual wire, I tried to build a base from a ballast brick used in LEGO boats. It works very well, I will do it again!

Apart from the representation of the levitating elements, the technique for this image is quite simple: 2 main lights, an orange RGB backlight and a single sheet of paper on a roll for the background.

At first, I opted for a dark green background to contrast with the orange, but finally the tests were not conclusive and I shot again with yellow to be more in the tone. The result was better suited to me like that."

Thanks for all the insights @jbarchietto! If you want to read this artist profile, head to our blog at https://brickentral.net/ - @theaphol, Community Outreach Manager

🥳 10TH ANNIVERSARY PHOTO CONTEST

Hello community!

This is @taskera

This month Brickcentral turns 10 yearsand for me this anniversary is mostly about us as Lego Photographers. Our work, our set-ups, our learning path. What we create on a table, or on the forest, or on the garden.

We have a contest for you to celebrate this occasion. The only condition is that you have to show us pictures with lit up candles. Don't worry if you don't have a candle piece, you can use all kinds of parts to create a candle of your own.

I am sharing with you my tips on how to lit candles. I am using tiny LEDs designed to fit into models (including Lego) that are powered with USB. I fix the LED behind the flame with Addesive Putty (Blue Tac) and I am hiding the cable behind the cable and through the bricks, so it is not visible and no editing is necessary! Extra tip, using a face mister also increases the light a bit more!

This month we're going to pick 3 grand prize winners instead of one. Each will get the Creator 3-in-1 Cozy House 31139 set.

There won't be a community vote this time.

📜 THE RULES:

▫️ Take a NEW photo of LEGO with a lit brick-built candle in it

▫️ Tag your photo with #ten years of bc

❗️IMPORTANT! Sometimes we may not see all the entries with the current hashtag. So if you want to be sure we will see your picture, post it in the Discord channel. You can even exchange tips and ideas with other community members.

Multiple entries are always allowed.

🗓️ CLOSING DATE: Apr 27 22:00 CET

🏆 PRIZES:

We will have 3🥇 Contest Winners, each of which will get one (1) Cozy House 31139 set

Wow 😍

❤️FEATURE: @crispytoyphoto (Instagram)

Hey everyone,

Today we are going on an adventure aboard the last Land Rover Defender, it could almost go unnoticed in the middle of this dense vegetation.

I really liked the simplicity and poetry in this shot taken in the middle of nature, it's easy to imagine yourself in the middle of the forest at the wheel of our all-terrain car.

I hope you enjoy this picture as much as i do. Keep tagging your pictures with #brickcentral and don’t forget our new evergree hashtags.

See you soon,

Let the games begin.

Well. Well, well, well, well, well. It’s here. The day has finally come. We’ve enjoyed witnessing you set dashboards ablaze the world over with your fandom hot takes, your cats, your dragon art, your recipe polls, your incorrect quotes, your Barbie memes. (But, really, mostly your cats.)

Starting April 20, you will be able to Blaze each other's posts: You’ll be able to scroll through your dash and see a post that tickles you, and then make thousands of complete strangers see that post also. 

We made this for fun, but you remain in charge of your stuff. So here are some important details:

Blog-level settings: All blogs will be set to Blazable by default in your blog settings. We’re giving you this heads-up so you can toggle Blaze off on any blog you don’t want people to Blaze posts from (quick link for web). Remember to do so for any secondaries you might want to keep Blaze-free. 

Post-level settings: These override your blog-level Blaze settings. You can enable Blaze in the post editor—before or after posting—via the cog (web) or the meatball menu (mobile), regardless of your blog's Blaze settings. Any posts you previously disabled reblogs on will remain unsharable via Blaze. Unless, of course, you edit the post to enable Blaze.

Real humans moderate all posts being Blazed before they go out. If something’s fishy or seems like it might be harmful, it won’t go through.

When someone Blazes your post, you will receive an email, push notification, and/or activity item (depending on your settings). 

You can cancel the Blazing of your post before it happens—or extinguish a post that is already being Blazed—either by responding to the aforementioned notification, or via the “Active” tab in your Blaze interface. 

We will only accept posts that comply with our global advertising guidelines. Interested in advertising directly? Find out more here.

Here are some FAQs.

So that’s it, really. Be nice! Have fun! 

And, as always, if you want to get in touch, drop us a line on @wip or Support, and keep an eye out for more updates on @changes.
