Day 172 - Last Minute Details, London Coliseum

Looks OK viewed large, on black if you have time :)

This was taken yesterday during the preparations for the English National Opera's performance of Death In Venice. I was there looking after cameras for a recording of the event. Once the cameras were in and set up it was quite nice just to sit and watch what was going on, on stage.

From lighting staff standing in key positions to set lighting, to the set guys putting the finishing touches to the simple staging that is used. And then this guy who I think was going round filling in some very small holes that had been left after the floor had been laid. I think as well as normal theatre floor boards, they also have a slight mirror effect at the front, designed to reflect lighting as part of the story.

I thought it was quite a nice simple image of this guy against the yellow backdrop.
this is fantastic steve. only seen it on my phone, i'll have to check it out on my computer for full effect
