BBC Broadcasting House, Portland Place Marylebone London
Designed by G Val Myer and built in 1932, Broadcasting House was the BBC's first purpose-built home for radio broadcasting. It is situated in central London between Oxford Street and Regents Park, adjacent to Nash's All Souls' church and is Grade II* listed.
This is one of a few pictures I processed this weekend (during the Hockenheim F1 race) on the iPad using "Pro HDR".
I imported all the pictures from the camera using Apple's "iPad Camera Connection Kit", including the bracketed exposure ones.
The app is a bit awkward to use with photos from your library, but it's possible. And you can only pick 2, not the 3 that I normally use (as created by the Canon S95's bracketing) in Imagefuser on my Mac.
But, you can't argue with the results, which seem every bit as good.
Next to BBC Broadcasting House. My great, great, great grandparents Thomas Boreham and Anna Maria Maskell were married in this church on 24 May 1843.
The full page 5 from Melbourne newspaper ‘The Herald’ from February 28, 1975, which features an advertisement for the Australian Broadcasting Commission’s first day of full colour television broadcasts, which began on March 1, 1975. Note that the ABC’s first full colour episode to air was the first colour episode of the long-running Australian music series Countdown (Countdown having broadcast its first episode on November 8, 1974). More detail can be read in the advertisement and the general description below.
The official beginning of full-time colour television broadcasts began on midnight (12:00 AM) Saturday March 1, 1975. The ABC chose the first episode of 1975 of the recently new music show Countdown to launch colour television across Australia- the other three major city channels had a variety of choices for their opening colour programming. In Melbourne, Channel Seven (specifically HSV-7) had its own ‘Introduction to Colour’ sequence, followed by a ‘colour marathon’, which began with the 1974 TV movie ‘Bacharach ‘74’. Channel 9 (specifically GTV-9) began its official full-time colour transmission with the 1946 Ray Milland and Barbara Stanwyck movie ‘California’. Channel 0 (specifically ATV-0, now ATV-10, Channel 10) began its full-time colour transmission with the 1965 Frank Sinatra movie ‘Von Ryan’s Express’. Sydney’s viewing was slightly different- apart from Countdown, which the ABC also showed in Sydney (and nationwide), Channel 7 (ATN-7) showed the 1959 movie ‘Black Orpheus’, Channel 9 (TCN-9) showed the movie ‘Home From The Hill’ leading into ‘The Face of Fu Manchu’, and Channel 10 (TEN-10) showed the movie ‘Can Can’.
Worth noting is that prior to the commencement of colour transmissions at midnight, at 9:00PM on February 28, Channel 7 (HSV-7 Melbourne) featured a program ‘Black And White Nostalgia’, which had a look back at their black and white programming prior to the introduction of colour television. This retrospective is almost identical in nature to their retrospective send-off on Tuesday December 10, 2013 for the shutdown of analogue television transmissions in Australia, the clip and detailed description of which can be seen at the following link:
While this Countdown episode was one of the first shows to air in colour after full-time colour transmissions began in Australia on March 1, 1975, the actual first colour transmission in Australia occurred on June 15, 1967, when ATV-0 (Channel 0 Melbourne) broadcast the Pakenham horse races live from 12:00 PM for a 5 hour broadcast, using a $100,000 RCA colour camera, viewed via closed circuit TV, by Sir Reginald Ansett, ATV-0’s then-owner. The introduction of colour television took until 1975 to fully implement in Australia for a number of reasons: the decision to use PAL colour television over NTSC; television was still being rolled out in the more remote parts of the country (such as Darwin) as late as 1971; Australian Government standards for colour TV fire safety; and waiting for costs for TV stations to convert their equipment to broadcast colour TV, along with costs for consumer TV sets, to come down. The date for the transition of March 1, 1975 was set by then-Prime Minister Billy McMahon on February 25, 1972.
Note that in many of the newspaper articles and advertisements of the time, they used the Americanised version of the word ‘color’, rather than the common Australian-used ‘colour’.

The AWA building used to be the tallest building in Sydney. It was used for broadcasting purposes, but time has passed and its glory days are long gone.
It is still a beautiful brick building albeit a bit gloomy. the Eiffel like tower on the roof is a nice reminder of its more productive past.
I hope to put up some more close up images of places in Sydney that are not seen on Flickr very often, hopefully I find the time :)
Enjoy!
