Two tv programs to watch tonight?

[Steve]

A couple of things on tv tonight that may interest some of you.

The first one may just inspire some of us to go out there and shoot some stunning landscape/scenery pictures.

DOCUMENTARY: A Picture of Britain
Channel: BBC 1
Date: Sunday 5th June 2005
Time: 21:00 to 22:00
Duration: 1 hour.
The Romantic North. Series 1, episode 1.
David Dimbleby takes a trip around Britain to see how the countryside has inspired art's greatest paintings. In the Lake District he visits Gordale Scar, for years deemed unpaintable by even the most Romantic artists until James Ward came along and changed the history of art.




DOCUMENTARY: A Digital Picture of Britain
Channel: BBC 4
Date: Sunday 5th June 2005
Time: 22:00 to 22:40
Duration: 40 minutes.
1/6. North.

Eamonn McCabe and other photographers chronicle Britain using the latest digital photographic technology. Ian Berry, Joe Cornish and Dan Chung capture views of the North.

This could also be interesting. milou has already given us the link to the BBC website but I thought I would refresh your memories with it being on tonight and his thread being taken along the competition topic mainly.

Only watch if you have a tv in the same room as your pc as I wouldn’t want to send you away from the forums ;)

If you do, give me a shout. I will gladly have a day in the lakes with you.

Cool, will do mate, it looks stunning ! must hunt out pics from last visit ! all done on film mainly, or my Nikon E995 ! LOL

[milou]

Well, that was all rather fab and it was great to see one of my heroes, Joe Cornish, at work.

[Steve]

I had to laugh when he was given that mobile phone :lol: From top end equipment to a 2mp phone camera :shock:

[milou]

And he produced the goods on it - the value of recognising the light in the landscape I suppose.

[Steve]

I was watching that very carefully. The composition and framing they all used showed how good they really are. I think his tripod for the phone camera was a little too big though. :lol:

[milou]

And his large backpack!

And his large backpack!

I thought it was a tent :wink:
