First off, impressive! I love the radial design you did on the
tower, and the bridge design. I wish I had so many castle
wall pieces, but as I just started with the castle theme on
thursday, I'm limited to mostly basic bricks, and I have no
wizards.   :)

Flash is a real difficulty with Lego.  I use 2 500 watts lamps for light so
I don't need the flash, but many a time, I still need to use the flash,
which off colors parts.  Small items are easy, but larger buildings are • hard
to get the lighting conditions right so that the flash doesn't fire off.

Interesting.. I use a pair of 500 watt halogens too. I've found
that most of the time the pictures are severely lacking in
blue -without- the flash, even with plenty of light... I guess
the camera gets confused when it's bright but it's not natural
sunlight. It's easy enough to correct in a graphics program
though. I'm tempted to set up a page showing how some
simple editing can vastly improve pictures for web pages.
