Aaand how's that supposed to help? :P

Personally, I love the reflections on my LEGO. It gives it a more LEGOish feeling YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING

But if you don't want reflections, I'd suggest turning off the lights. ;)

ololol

Anyway, one thing I do is lower the contrast in post production or fiddle with the lighting before taking the shot. I usually put one "base lamp" behind the bricks, and another one behind the camera with a piece of paper on it. It works pretty well for me.

The reflection of my arm is the biggest progress, because obviously, I move. Anyone have any techniques to 'dirty up' my bricks or get rid of the reflections? Thanks.]]></content>
