Description The Cardiff "Doctor Who Experience" 2012

The TV screen was playing 10s regeneration with the Matt Smith Part, so I had to watch it a couple of times to get the right part on screen for the photo.

It was really dark, but I didn't want to use a flash as that would destroy the atmosphere.

Awesome pic! Exactly the right moment, right time, right place. Fantastic

I was there, about three weeks ago. Didn't use flash either, it would've ruined the magical feeling. So all my photos ended up being really wobbly 'cos my hands were shaking from excitement and my eyes were full of tears...

hehe Thank you!!! Sorry to hear about your photos being "wobbly". I had to boost the ISO up really high, to get a fast enough shutter speed to eliminate blur. The exhibition part was extremely dark, difficult for photos! I do have more, I'll edit/upload them at some point Cheers again for the message!

I live so far away from Cardiff, I'll probably never see this in my life. Thank you for the picture! One question, are you allowed to go right up to the console? Or should visitors give up all dreams of pretending to fly the TARDIS?

Unfortunately you can't touch the console You can go pretty close though, but those railings in the photo prevent you from getting closer. In the actual "experience" part, you go in a room with the new tardis console, and a video on the wall plays of Matt Smith saying how he needs help to fly the tardis, and there are little remote controls surrounding the console which people can "wiggle", but not sure if they do anything. The floor moves a bit and the console gets all "smokey" lol

I've always wanted to mess with the consul of Ten's TARDIS. I want to flip switches and dance in circles around it! (ridiculous fantasy, I know, but that's really what I wish I could do!) All the same, it's awesome that you can actually "fly" Eleven's TARDIS!

hehe sounds quite fun actually! Maybe if no one is looking you can jump over the railings

Probably would try that, but I'm always a bit skittish about breaking rules. I probably wouldn't be able to enjoy myself out of fear that there's a security camera watching or something!

True, we need to develop a cool cloaking device so they won't see us

Brilliant idea!
How about an invisibility outfit?

haha I totally read that wrong, I thought you said an invisible outfit! But an invisibility outfit would work much better!

An invisible outfit? o-0
Invisibility would definitely be the better rout! Dancing 'round the consul dream, here I come!

Anne!! You're too kind I wanted to keep the natural feel (lights and things), so I thought the best way was to not use a flash. Although it meant I was working at a really high ISO!!

The perfect way to work in this situation (in my humble opinion).
