A Lego recreation of Philippe Halsman's 1948 photographic collaboration with Salvador Dalí entitled "Dalí Atomicus".
Original here.
Setup shot here.
This was rather difficult, and wet. It took two and a half hours to set up, and 15 seconds before the set was destroyed by the chaos that ensues when you turn a hosepipe on a carefully balanced Lego scene.
This photo was taken on September 26, 2009 using a Nikon D200.
