This month we’re going to be talking about different focal lengths and how each can have a very different outcome on your final image. First we’ll start with wide angle, ultra wide angle and fisheye lenses. A wide angle lens on a full frame camera is from 35 to 24mm. Ultra wide angle is 24…
40422 Frankenstein’s Monster Review
The Frankenstein’s monster Brickheadz set (40422) is here, just in time for Hallowe’en 2020 – a year that has already been horrific enough, thank you very much. The set is also a tie in with the Universal film company and their roster of monster movies and characters. Mary Shelley’s estate is probably not seeing any…
40412 Hagrid and Buckbeak Brickheadz Review
There are over 100 different Brickheadz characters from Lego now, and two of the newest came in a gift with purchase offer: Hagrid and Buckbeak from the Harry Potter line. Not knowing the source material very well, I fully expect to offend people with wildly inaccurate interpretations of character and plot in this review! Here…

We’re happy to present @sara.bian123! “I’m an artist and mom living near Seattle. Inspired by cartoons growing up, I got a degree in commercial art and worked as a 2D video game animator after…
Photography Collab: Skull Sorcerer’s Dungeons
Brickcentral were kind enough to offer LegoDwarves and myself (Freethegeekman) the chance to collaborate on a project together. They generously supplied us with the LEGO Ninjago Skull Sorcerers Dungeons set to use in a joint photography assignment. In this blog post we just wanted to take the opportunity to share a little of the collaborative…
Star Wars Resistance I-TS Transport 75293 Review
I was pleased when TLG announced an exclusive set for the Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Theme Parks. Even more pleased when I saw it was a ship that did not exist yet as a LEGO set! I knew it would one day have a nice place in my collection. Note the black and white logo…
Ocean Exploration Base 60265 Review
The moment LEGO announced the Ocean Exploration sets for the summer, I absolutely had to get my hands on a couple so I could shoot them underwater. The Ocean Exploration Submarine 60264 set was so fun to shoot! It was easy to hold in one hand, a good size for my 30mm lens’s FOV, and…
NINJAGO Skull Sorcerer’s Dungeons Review
The long running LEGO Ninjago theme is by nature a bit of a genre mashup. It loosely takes the ninja idea and merges that with various other Eastern influences while focussing on giving kids cool ninjas, vehicles, dragons and mechs to play with. In later seasons we have had even more genre clashes with spooky…
Harry Potter CMF Series 2 Review
The new Harry Potter Collectible Minifigure Series is out with its second wave and there are some very cool new parts in it! Let’s start with the standout accessories that AFOLs will probably love whether or not they are Harry Potter fans: the butterbeer mug, the martini glass, and the dope sword. I’ve thrown in…
