Immediately apparent is the different colour of the cabs from different bases. Some are distinctly pink whilst others are sand all day long. Taking into account the brighter light of the theatre, they’ve got lighter apart from the paint patches, although considerably a lot dirtier.
'Thunder & Lightning' is a bit of a coffee table job. It's got some good stuff in it ( including a very distant shot of me!) but I doubt it'll give you the detail you're after.
Must be getting rare now?
