This is a fan quest of epic proportions. Two Finnish girls living in the UK have started what they call their Fangirl Quest (also the name of the Tumblr the chronicles their trip). The trip is a journey to take ‘sceneframe’ photos at all the filming locations of their favorite British TV programs and films. A sceneframe refers to a picture taken by one person of a location or background while another holds up a picture (or tablet in this case) of the TV or movie scene occurring in that setting.
These fan quest photos include numerous shots of filming locations for Doctor Who, Sherlock, Harry Potter and even the Hollow Crown series of Shakespeare adaptation. The dedication given to this project shows in the number and variety of photographs and locations.
