Photography On TV

I obviously like television hence having cheap television blog dedicated to it but my other passion is taking pictures hence also running a photography blog. Last night I got a combination of both of my favourite things on the iPlayer (as I missed it first time around) with the TV programme called “Shooting the Hollywood Stars”. It followed the famous photographer Rankin around as he tried to create some of the iconic photographs from Hollywood and although it wasn’t the best programme / documentary ever it was good to see photography getting a prime time slot on BB2 on a Saturday evening.

The blurb from the show says “To understand how the image makers of Hollywood created these iconic photographs, Rankin recruits a cast of leading Hollywood actors to help him recreate some of the most important”. Like I said it’s not the best programme I have seen on photography but if you like fashion and glamour go check it out on the BBC iPlayer (it was originally on BBC 2 at 8pm on Saturday 8^th January). Also if you like photography check out my street photography and I’ve also got some sports shots over there which will soon include the televised BAMMA fight pictures.

Check out this stunning looking new LED TV from Philips. Its called the 40PFL9704 and it has to be one of the best looking new televisions on the market today. Philips are calling this LCD TV with LED backlighting “LED Pro”. I guess this is one way for them to help market this very stylish television at £1,800 (no cheap television deals on this one). The picture above is of the 40 inch LED TV model with a bigger 46 inch brother 46PFL9704 (£2,500) due in shops sometime in December.

We also understand that the 40PFL9704 and 46PFL9704 LED televisions will come with integrated 802.11g WiFi which should be great for watching the BBC iPlayer and Youtube videos that are now appearing in HD. The final detail we have is both of these Philips LED TVs come with 5 HDMI ports making connections to all your entertainment equipment much easier. When we get more information on both the Philips Pro 40PFL9704 and 46PFL9704 LED TV’s well let you know here on cheap televisions, until then enjoy the picture above of this stunning looking slim television.

Tonight at 8pm on BBC Two (on televisions and on the BBC iPlayer) Top Gear’s James May is going to attempt to build a bridge entirely out of Meccano on his TV show Toy Stories. It’s not the best thing on TV but Cheap televisions has enjoyed the previous two episodes (building a Spitfire and making a garden from Plasticine) but tonight’s episode appears to be more challenging from the preview video clips cheap TVs have seen.

James May Toy Stories Meccano Bridge

The show on BBC Two is described as “James May subjects traditional toys to supersize challenges. Here, he joins forces with Edwina Currie and top engineers to build a full-size bridge from nothing but Meccano.” If your watching tonights episode of James May’s Toy Stories (as cheap TVs will be) and you want to let us know your thoughts or reviews please use the comments below.
