le717 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 O.T. I assume this goes here I thought I would post this here, as some of you may want to enter. LUNF is an forum of which I am a Forum Moderator, and they are having a summer contest! Details: O.T. I'm just going to copy-pasta this. I can't write it any better... Hey guys! It's summer, and you all know what that means! It means that there's no school (maybe ), there's lots of sunshine, and you most likely have some free time! Well, since it's summer, the staff of LUNF have put together a LEGO picture contest! Take a picture of your favorite minifigure! But here's the twist: It has to be outside! You heard it! You will need to set up your minifigure outside doing anything you want! (That is, as long as it is appropriate. ) You can even include more than one minifigure, or a whole army of minifigures! Another great thing to do is create something out of LEGO bricks to complement your minifigure's photograph. Remember, the cooler your picture is, the more chance you have of winning! Make sure it tells a story. For example, you could re-create a movie poster, or make your minifig meet a giant dog (even though that's totally not cliche. ) Here are some tips on how to get a good picture: • Lighting! You need proper lighting. If your scene is going to be at night, you will probably need an indirect lamp nearby to give a good lighting effect. • Focus! You need focus! Focus on the main part of your scene. Focusing on LEGO is hard, hard, that is, unless you use the Macro setting on your camera. It will allow you to focus on things close up. • Quality! Try to get a good quality photo! Cell-phone camera quality won't cut it. Example: When? Where? How? The contest will be held from NOW (May 13, 2013) to June 30, 2013! Once you have taken your picture, you can upload it anywhere (such as Flickr, or PasteAll). Just be sure to embed it here on a post in this topic! [AKA the LUNF topic] NOTE: Post-processing IS allowed, and even encouraged! Examples: Correcting shading, re-coloring, image frames, etc. (A good post-processing website is Ribbet! PRIZES PRIZES PRIZES! Grand Prize: • Winner will receive a custom LEGO Universe Minifigure (compliments of Nealybealy)! • Winning picture will be featured on the LUNF header for a whole month! • Winner will have his minifigure (the one in the photo) rendered by rioforce! • Winner will receive a special Badge! • Winner will have his image featured on The Luprechaun First Prize: • First Prize Winner will receive a special Badge! • First Prize Winner will have his minifigure (the one in the photo) rendered by rioforce! • First Prize Winner will have his image featured on The Luprechaun! So get outside and give your minifgure(s) a shining moment of fame! Are you ready to le take pictures?

lol username Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 lol shameless plug As for the contest itself... Meh, I dunno. I have a couple ideas that could work I guess. BTW, your spoiler is borked. [/captainobvious] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Sounds interesting, although the only thing I'd probably enter it for is... Winner will receive a custom LEGO Universe Minifigure (compliments of Nealybealy) Can this be explained a bit more? As in, will we receive a figure of our choice who looks like a character in the game (e.g. Paradox wizard), or are these figures from that Masters of the Universe thing?

We think it is a predefined LEGO Universe-themed minifigure (NPC) that Neal built a while back. We are asking for exact details right now. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fush Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 So the entries must be posted to the topic in the other forum, then? We can't post them here? So I'd need to make an account there, or could someone who already has one (i.e. You) cross-post it there and have it still count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

le717 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 @Fushigisaur, @JimbobJeffers, @jamesster, If you still want to enter, do it. While we prefer you would post them there (this contest was partially created to promote LUNF), I can cross-post them for you without issues. As for the custom LU NPC minifigure, Nealybealy has had it for a while. It is a pre-defined minifig, but he won't us exactly what it is (he wants to keep this part a surprise).
