I had almost forgotten to finish uploading my behind the scenes pictures from my time on the Dr Who and Torchwood sets! The big cog-wheel-door (which always reminded me of Deep Space Nine) is as convincing as the rest of the set, until you thump it and hear the dull thud of plywood.

Today’s photos: Cosmeston Lake

This gallery contains 8 photos.
Another set taken at Cosmeston Lake, in South Wales. It was clear and sunny when we arrived, but almost instantly became foggy.
Today’s fun cemetery pics

None of these came out as well as I had hoped. I thought the wonky headstones would look great as a black and white. Then I overcompensated and over-saturated the others! The last one is an attempt at a lomo … Continue reading
Darth, I am your father

This seasonal piece of stencil graffiti is just up the road from me. It has actually been there for over a year now, and I’ve been meaning to photograph it that whole time! UPDATE 2011.09.19: Sadly, the Darth piece has … Continue reading
On the TARDIS, Doctor Who set photos (part three)
The last of my pictures of the TARDIS set are all closeup details of the centre console. You can really see how cobbled together it is from common and garden parts.
Torchwood set photos: details, details, details
So, if Torchwood is such a super-secret, literally underground operation, then why do they brand everything? There is not a detail on the set that doesn’t have a logo – old or new – stuck to it somewhere. Even the drinking fountain!
Torchwood set photos: the subway
The ‘subway’ used to link the different Torchwoods together (Besides Cardiff, there is the one in London that featured in Doomsday, one in Glasgow, and apparently one that went missing). The network fell into disuse, so now it’s where they have pizza and beer. As realistic as all these tiles are, when you touch them you can tell that they’re painted wood and paper.
The Welsh dragon on the wall is a nice touch. Apparently Tosh was painting it there, but that backstory never featured in an episode. I guess it never will now.
On the TARDIS, Doctor Who set photos (part two)
As you can see, in reality the TARDIS is exactly as big on the inside as it is on the outside!
Torchwood set photos: Jack’s office
Some more pictures of the Torchwood set. Check out the coral on Jack's desk – apparently he’s trying to grow a TARDIS! The old style television sets appeared in the Dr Who episode, The Idiot’s Lantern. To the left, on the floor, you can see the hatch to Jack’s ‘bedroom’, where Chris Moyles got stuck. There is a copy of Little Dorrit on the desk, in reference to the BBC show, starring Eve Myles.
More long exposure abstracts

A few more long exposure abstracts – probably the last I'll bother doing – but I do like the effect. I want to grab a tripod and try and get some good quality night photography, so look for that later. … Continue reading
Some night photography / long exposure abstracts
Gallery
This gallery contains 6 photos.
I stumbled across my camera’s long-exposure mode a few days ago – here are some of the better results. Llandaff Cathedral features again, by virtue of being on my walk home. Luckily enough, there seemed to be some evening choir … Continue reading
On the TARDIS, Doctor Who set photos (part one)
Welcome aboard the Tardis. The ‘coral’ supports are literally paper mache, and very fragile. In contrast to the Torchwood set, the level of detail is much less, as some of these shots reveal.
Torchwood autopsy room, set photos
A selection of photos from the fantastic Torchwood set. This impressive 360º set was detailed for HD, so everything is highly realistic – until you touch it! Check out the slides up on the big lightbox wall. The dead body on the slab is a corpse from ‘The Lazarus Experiment‘.
TARDIS pics are coming…
Here is just a little sneak peek at some of the photo’s I took today, on the amazing Torchwood Hub set and, of course, the Tardis! I have many other pics I’m working through so expect more over the next few days. I need to relax a little now though…
