I have a new set. I’ve never been that into Harry Potter but Finn is so we got the new Hagrid’s Hut Buckbeaks Rescue, lego set 75947. I have to say it was fun to build – and I’ll do a full review shortly. My main interest in it was for lego photography and my first shot was one of Hagrid outside his hut having been disturbed by an unknown sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the original image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Who-Goes-There-Original\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, it is quite a bright image of Hagrid standing outside his hut with his lantern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first task was to create a more “night” time feel to the image. To do it, I created a brightness adjustment layer to reduce the exposure. Then a saturation adjustment layer to de-saturate the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Who-Goes-There-Darker\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I used two layers to create the lantern affect. The first was an orange brush in screen blend mode. The second a colour dodge layer with a lens flare brush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Who-Goes-There-Lantern\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I still wanted it to feel a bit darker, particularly just behind the door where you can see how bright it originally was. To solve this I created a new layer and painted a black to transparent layer from the top right hand corner into the centre. This was set to screen blend mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then made another layer and painted black at 70% opacity. I set the blend mode to overlay and was much happier with the darker feeling of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Who-Goes-There-Night\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My final task was to add a colour dodge layer so I could brighten Hagrid’s face – as if the lantern was shining onto him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Who-Goes-There-Lego-Hagrid\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This was a fairly quick but enjoyable image to make and I hope you like it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The set itself is going to provide a great back drop for some lego photography and I can’t wait to share some more over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
