Great yarn, Mick, thanks,

I always loved working in rhe studio and lighting was a passion. In an era of huge surface lights and scrims I think this was lit entirely by 8 or 9 snooted spots and one blue-gelled flood with barndoors fot the background roll.

Thanks Maris, All too often I found that compound tilt and swing were called for, not just in 'product' shots, but also in architecture which is not always about planes but just as often can be about a 3-D space. In this case the dark cave roof is the horrid and ubiquitous patterned public-space car...

Foe a time we had aa printed label we stuck on the back which the client signed as approval.

Only one exposure possible per day ....... and six were needed. Each day the set up started well before 4:00 am setting the camera on a ground plate in the gutter and aligning the framing and setting the steeply sloping plane of focus in the dark, aided by a Dolphin torch. CLICK! and repeat for 5 da...

Thanks Maris,

Every time I open the wardrobe door this is exactly the viewpoint I have of a rack of coat hangers. LOL

Rogan Josh,
I'd put my hand up for a copy of that one.

Please let me know what happens next.
