Title: Popeye Village
Post by: Summicron on March 02, 2008, 06:45:59 PM
Where Robin Williams starred as Popeye in one of the great film flops of all time, still its a great place to be, you can clamber all over the roofs of these houses, and in recent years it looks like its been done up, and painted. Popeye Village is on Malta, right at the top of the island, a place called anchor bay, called that because that is where old anchors used to be dumped, of course they will have become a coral reef by now and a beloved home to the fishes.
   Had a job scanning this one as there is so much contrast in this scene, and the foreground cliffs were red, so without reddening the whole scene too much the colour, contrast, saturation, and lightness had to be finely tuned, I think there's a little camera shake there too despite the camera being set to 1/250sec.

It's there Marilyn, I just post the pictures, add a title, and perhaps a word or too, post the picture just to make sure the the size of the picture will be accepted. Then I come back to modify the comments, its a precaution, because there's now't so frustrating than typing out a commentary and getting a message back, "Sorry the picture is too large," so you go back and all you have written is gone, so you have to go back and start again.

And I sort of liked that film.   I think what put people off, was that the film got the 1930s look of the original Popeye cartoons.
