MOC: Fortaleza de Lyon (Lyon Fortress)

[Pedro Ivo]

Hi everyone!

I want to show you my lastes creation, called Fortaleza de Lyon (in english: Lyon Fortress).
I made this as my entry to the brazillian community monthly challenge. It's a high fortified mansion, situated near a mountain.
It's by far the biggest creation I've ever made and it took a lot of time!
I won't keep writing, because my english is very limited, so here are the pics! Hope you like it!











Well, that's it!
You can see all these pictures and a lot of some more in my Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/pedroivoep/sets/72157629087883326/with/6929409833/

Please, C & C are very welcome!

And can someone give me any tips on photography? It was very hard to take good pics, because is a very large MOC (its 64 x 64 studs)!

And another question: how can I put an image that you can go to my gallerie just by clicking on it?

very nice, you defiantly have some skill I like the angles on the draw bridge and wall section my only complaints would be that there scene looks a little "cluttered",and I find the lac of part of the wall rather odd

Very pretty mansion! I could also use tips on photographing large MOCs. I just built one and tried to photograph it with terrible results. I guess the lesson learned here (at least in my case) is to plan exactly what you want pictures of and build accordingly. Unfortunately, that won't help me this time, so I guess I'll post the bad pictures this time! You guys should be able to laugh at them sometime this week.

Very nice build!! I like the great amount of detail!
I'm not an expert on photography, But it looks like you used two different color lights. I find it works better when I use lights that are all the same color.
Also the more lights you use the better it will look.

Keep up the good work!

Awesome work on the walls and water. I particularly like the foliage you have added to the castle walls.

I just learned how to do this awhile ago, it's done like this {url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/pedroivoep/sets/72157629087883326/with/6929409833/}{img}http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7042/6782850544_07e39b6345_m.jpg{/img}{/url}

Just change the { to [ and there you are.

Whoa cool and beutiful castle, all that details on the mansion, particualy I like the yellow parts of it very good.
It seems photography of Moc is a problem for many of us, I am very bad on taking photos of my creations, I have a bad camera too but my skills are poor. That is something I would need to work on.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!
And thanks MArk for the Flickr tip!

That's an amazing amount of detail I can only aspire to (I wouldn't have the necessary bricks if I tried), the vegetation looks almost real! Your photography is excellent, too.
