First Experiments with Studio Lighting

St Austell Camera Club had a practical night recently where I had my first experience of using studio lighting for portraits. I was quite pleased with the results considering.

Karen Gillan (Amy Pond) Filming Dr Who Confidential in Charlestown

The BBC have been filming an episode of Dr Who in Charlestown, Cornwall this week on the tall ships.

I popped down with my daughter and my camera to watch Karen Gillan film a piece for Dr Who Confidential. She was nice enough to pose for a photograph with my daughter and friends afterwards.

Karen Gillan (Amy Pond) Filming Dr Who Confidential in Charlestown



From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Pond

Amy Pond meets the Doctor in the first episode of the 2010 series, "The Eleventh Hour". Fresh from his regeneration and having crashed the TARDIS into Amy's back garden, the Doctor is dressed in the torn and soiled remains of the Tenth Doctor's attire and is in the final stages of his regeneration, making him behave erratically, as he is 'still cooking'. Once inside Amy's house, the Doctor eats various foods, including fish fingers dipped in custard. At Amy's request, the Doctor investigates a crack in her wall that he discovers is a damaged point of time and space. As he attempts to make repairs, he is interrupted by the cloister bell from his damaged TARDIS, telling him to return before it vanishes into the time vortex. The Doctor promises Amy that he will return in '5 minutes', but due The TARDIS' erratic state, he does not reunite with Amy until 12 years later, when she is 19. In the intervening time, she has been to four psychiatrists as a result of her insistence on the reality of the "Raggedy Doctor" (and has bitten each of them due to their insistence that he is imaginary). After their reunion, in which Amy helps the Doctor save the earth from the Atraxi, The Doctor takes the newly repaired TARDIS on a trip to the moon and back to 'run her in'. While he is gone it is two years (for Amy; how long for the Doctor is not specified) before he returns for her, and invites her to travel with him. Amy makes the Doctor promise to bring her back the next morning but does not tell him why: the next day is to see her wed her long time boyfriend Rory Williams.
