Thanks Gianluca. :-)
A bit of fun for a Thursday evening. Yeah, the ground crew on these country landing strips are pretty slack about keeping them clean.
These always make me smile.
btw: have you seen the lego bible? That is awesome!
(and at times rather funny...)
Nicely done! Just one step away from lego animation.

Seen on your photo stream. (?)
Yes Andrew, I have, it's quite amusing indeed. See there was a reason I've hung onto all this lego for the last 20 years :)
I lack the patience most of the time to do anything with animation or video Prescott, but now that you've planted that seed, you never know what might happen ;)
so creative! I love this. It's a great entry.
Please add your Beautiful Photo to:
Beauty is in the *Eye* of the Beholder!
Thanks Kerry :) Hopefully there's enough suitcase in the photo to qualify.
Absolute creative!, great idea Dave
Al
Fantastic shot !
I saw this in Beauty is in the *Eye* of the Beholder!
Thanks Al :)
And you too Christopher.
Funny, great and creative ;o)
hehe - over here he would not be allowed to take that suitcase on the plane as hand luggage any more - clear plastic bags only please ;-p
I like the photo - lovely idea and great tight focus on the lego man and good airplane bokeh ;-)
Thanks Horst :)
Ah yes, it won't be long before all flying must be done in the nude, excepting an appropriately placed sock!
I realise, looking back at it now, the lego man should have been about 8mm to the right to better highlight the suitcase without losing it in the fore wheel. d'oh!
well done
: D lol !~!
*giggles*
thats such a cool idea, and you've carried it out so well too

Ha ha! That's great, David. Very funny but also very interesting.
Thanks Krion :)
You can't go wrong with a toy shot eh Helen :)
Thanks Swiv, it was one of those inspirational moments.
I used one of my own landscape prints as a backdrop Mark, it was entirely the wrong scale but didn't really matter since the chosen depth of field would blur it out anyway, I just needed something there that wasn't a salmon coloured dining room chair ;-)
This is such a great pictures. The tiny depth of field is so perfect here and the plane is blurred just enough
Haha David!!! Just as creative as always! (I still remember Sir Gwain and his apple :-)) I love the DOF!! Great work!!

Thanks Jeffrey. I took a couple before I was sufficiently happy with the shot geometry. Even now, I could tweak it a little, but it works fairly well as is.
Thanks Jill :) None of my actual suitcases are the least bit interesting.
saw this in the thumbnail and thought it was a real plane.
nice work dave. my kids (kids-no-more) still have stacks and stacks of old lego - including a monorail... endless possibilities!
I still have pretty much all my childhood lego sets, in their original boxes and for the most part complete (i.e. no missing parts). :)
Aww...so cute, David...you give new life to old toys!

Hey Margot! Good to see you again.
Yep, old toys don't deserve to be left kooked up forever.
Great work, make me want to bring out my lego again :)

when i were a lad we never 'ad no lego. we used to stick stones together with chewed up beeswax....
arrrrhhhh...
Stones?!
Luxury!
Our family had one pebble between us all and we thought ourselves lucky!
You were Lucky! We couldn't afford no stones or pebbles. 'twas two blades of grass stuck together with spit for us.
this is awesome!
seen on Explore
Thank kktp - you should most definitely dig out your lego and your inner child ;-)
Thansk bass_nroll!
Made me LOL :o) Great take on the theme btw, very creative - love the DoF!
*hmm, wonders where her brother's lego collection went?*

Fantastic !
Hopefully carefully stored in their original boxes ana-liza, ready to be unpacked, built and photographed ;-)
Thanks Lothian!
I hope lego man isn't carrying any lego liquid in that suitcase!
Very cute take on this suitcase theme, David de Groot.

Unfortunately (for him) he's a traveling nail file and scissor salesman and the suitcase contains his working samples! ;-)
Thanks certified_su.
Well that's a relief - at least he's not from the Brisbane Original Manufacturing Brothers (BOMB) selling loudly ticking alarm clocks.
lol - he will be off the Lego Guantánamo Bay any time then.
Ah but the scissors are ACME brand (Australian Cutting Machine Enterprises), David. ;-)
Quite possibly Susan, although I notice a dearth of airport security....he might just get away with it!
Such an incredibly composed shot. I really appreciate your deliberate and careful use of DOF here. I've never had so much emotion evoked by a Lego before.
excellent idea!
Wow, thanks for the well thought out comment Chris, much appreciated :)
Oh and thanks ionutsandu, you slipped in there while I was typing.
the guy looks depressed, or maybe just tired out from his travels.
This is sooo creative!! Congratulations David
Fabulous.
YES!
Nice one mate. This works a treat :)
what a lorra lorra views mr, lego scissor salesman has had, well done David !!
Scott, probably tired, after having to outrun airport security and all...
Thanks Holly :)
And you too Nichole and spamisrabid.
Indeed Helen! I'm quite impressed really.
Thanks Paul!
Wow wondwrful idea and shot
Utterly fantastic :-) Faved
That's really cool, nice DOF.
These guys are in the other part of the airport:
He, he great!
cool
ive got the same haircut as him
great idea!
Thanks Everyone - I've not had time to come back and check in on this lately, but your comments/fav's are all appreciated.
hurry up!
This is great....!
Great work! Excellent idea!
Ha ha, very nicely done!
so cute :)
Love it!

Thanks all :)
Hey Chris! Long time no see.
Ooooh. I do like playing around with these small fellows. With my camera present, I must say. The great DoF is a big component in the atmosphere here; giving the right amount of blur and the opportunity to step into a Lego-makebelieve...
LOL
very cute
:=)
lovely portrait!!
My wife commented the first time...I'm just now seeing it. This is a very cool picture! I don't know why, but it makes me smile at the same time that I feel kind of sad for the guy. That's kind of weird but...whatahyagonnadoaboutit, huh? Anyway, great pic.
