Staircase

[Rob MacKillop]

I've been wondering whether to share this one, as the lighting is...well, you can see what it is. But I do like the composition...so here it is:

Rob it seems anything shot with your new camera turns to gold. Worth the worry and wait it seems. I like this a lot.

Black Gold, Texas Tea! [Name that program...]

Thanks, Julian.

Thanks, Julian.

I'm thick Rob so sorry not sure what that means . Other than the last bit.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I wonder if someone else does?

More than likely Rob.

You are probably talking about Dallas but I immediately thought of the Beverly Hillbillies.

BTW, Very nice and all the better for the minimalist look I think.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Beverly Hillbillies it was. They were poor farmers who found oil on their land - "Black Gold, Texas Tea", as the theme song told us. We loved that program in our house when we were, oh, about 7 or 8 years old.

I learn something new each day, not always worthwhile though

I remember it well! And I like the composition here as well. The Third Man springs to mind!

Had to look it up, never heard of it but I did know about Harry Lime.

 

[Pete Askew]

It reminds me of Carol Reed's camera angles in the apartment building towards the beginning of the film.

 

[Paul Lange]

Don't get me wrong, I am not well cultured in classic TV and film. I only knew who Harry Lime was because my grandparents had a huge lighter in the shape of a knight in armour. When you picked it up it played the Harry Lime theme tune. My grandparents explained to me about the theme and Harry Lime when I picked it up once.

One of the most despicable villains of cinema (selling diluted antibiotics to hospitals) and a classic film if only for the amazing lighting and shadows. Have a look at some of the stills that pop out of a Google search.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I love that film - everything about it. A genuine classic from every angle.

 

[Pete Askew]

Probably my all-time favourite.
