The James Bond auction over at eMovie is pretty great, very fun just to even browse through. Put together really well, top to bottom.
However, the lighting on some pieces leave something to be desired. Many choice posters are way too dim and thus do a disservice to the vivid and vibrant nature of the posters to a degree.
Example here is Dr. No...the 3sh is bright (maybe even too much) but the one sheet looks like half the lights were off. The shadows are more abundant/distracting.
Not the end of the world, and not trying to nitpick, but maybe Bruce can speak to this? I don't think stuff needs to be color saturated out the wazoo like some sellers do, but an initial white balance with a brightness/contrast edit in post would do some of these more justice and may = more $$$. Perhaps I am making a point to address it because I have several of these posters, and since I can judge them in person, these photos don't really do them justice at all to me.
The French Dr. No, might be my choice for one of the most beautiful posters I have ever seen on several levels, but the photo looks like the power went out, and again, doesn't really serve the beauty that the poster instills in person.
Also, while I think MOST of the photography at eMovie looks pretty terrific year in and year out, its a small shame that such a terrific auction in many ways is just so muted.
Not trying to dig at you at all Bruce, just going on what my eye is telling me.
