Title: This Job’s Killing Me
Location: BBC Elstree
Camera: Canon EOS 100D / 18-55mm EF f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
Extras: Gorillapod / CamRanger
Notes: So tired today. The end of 8 weeks work (and 12-days of consecutive shifts, including two overnights) at the BBC. I’m dead. And in case you’re wondering, my colleagues found this coffin in a skip – it was a prop for a recent TV show. We thought we might be able to use it for storage!

Title: Face Down Tuesday – Mortuary Edition
Location: BBC Elstree
Camera: Canon EOS 100D / 18-55mm EF f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
Extras: Taken by a friend
Notes: A couple of days ago, I was dead on my feet. Today, I was dead on my face, it would seem! I found another corridor which doubles as a random bit of the Holby City set – with a door labelled Mortuary. So, what else could I do other than a quick Face Down Tuesday?

Location: BBC Elstree
Camera: Canon EOS 5D MkIII / 8-15mm Fisheye EF f/4 L USM
Extras: Gorillapod / Wireless remote
Notes: You get a good view of the whole studio from the gantry and my fisheye lens emphasised the perspective to dramatic effect. You also see the lighting hoists at close quarters, a great fit for the current 52 Weeks theme, Mechanical.
