LEGO Abandonments: Home-Made Model Haunted Houses

14 Mar

[ By WebUrbanist in Art & Sculpture & Craft. ]

lego abandonments

Hundreds of hours and in some cases over one hundred thousand pieces have gone into the creation of this series of seriously detailed LEGO models, each constructed to replicate the processes of decay in miniature.

Michael Doyle makes these largely-Victorian marvels piece by piece, but of course creating something that looks intentionally chaotic is in many ways more challenging than making a conventional model home.

From the artist: “To my eyes, patterns of decay find a more pleasing path than an untouched object. A roof collapsed by the weight of snow, side shingles ripped by the force of winds, substructures rotting, insects and weather gnawing the exposed surfaces.”

“I can picture those windy days where a shingle flies off. Or the sudden creaking, cracking and burst of tinder giving way under snow’s heavy hand

And for anyone interested in a strange slice of abandoned-faux-home ownership, he still has prints for sale of some of the works featured here as well as his other gravity-and-time-defying LEGO creations.

Homemade time-lapse intervalometer for Nikon D70, Test#1 Clouds over Derby 2012.

15 Dec

I will soon be selling my time-lapse intervalometers on ebay once I’m happy with my final design. Anyone interested in buying one let me know. This is test video #1 of my home made time-lapse intervalometer for the Nikon D70 Camera. This short clip is made from 1168 photographs which were captured at 10 second intervals and then sequenced to play back at 25 frames per second. The photographs were taken at 3008×2000 pixels in full Automode. It should work with the following cameras : NIKON D40, D40X, D50, D60, D70, D70S, D80, D90, D3000, D5000, F55, F65, F75, N65, N75, Coolpix 8400, 8800, Pronea S, Nuvis S & Lite Touch Zoom. This footage was filmed out of my upstairs window looking towards Mickleover. Thanks Andy derbyphotoscouk.blogspot.co.uk
