Aw, really? That's cool... them and their love of locations. And perfectly filming the locations! 
I'm kind of on a kick of looking at the 'dark'/'smoky' shots again, now... man, they were awesome. Two favorites I love that just really helped make the scene:

Re: Remarkable settings - pictures from the episodes
Yes, Russell - the first one was in fact a very cold place - they didn't fake these little puffs of condensed breath - gives me shivers every time I watch it. And John at the Battersea building - a great location for his wonderful dialogue with Irene. Just the two of them (ok - plus Sherlock 
) at this impressive place. (Glad they didn't go to a café...)
In contrast - I love this nicely arranged and beautifully illuminated place with Westie's grieving fiancée and an understanding John:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."
I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

Symmetry again. Bottles, cups...
Did I mention I love this thread?

Re: Remarkable settings - pictures from the episodes
Gah, yes.... and not so much of the 'symmetry' here, or their big landscapes/decorated sets, but continuing the dark and smoky eye-catching character moment theme......

Re: Remarkable settings - pictures from the episodes
As much as it needed polishing in parts (which they did an amazing job of taking the same basic thing and fixing up/tightening it into the actual first ep), the original pilot had a lot of the same classic neat elements they always used, done very well, didn't it?

Wow. They are beautiful settings. Gives me chills, quite nice considering the heat wave ;)

Definitely! I must admit I was quite... what's a good word... intrigued by the pilot yet at the same time affectionately amused and relieved. While it's amazing to see how much quality production in all the elements of the show we praise was there from the get-go, even they realized they could do a bit of polishing of the rough edges and make it even better when given more time, and I think the episode they ended up with was so much better. Sure, it's too bad a couple neat shots got cut (the original restaurant scene, Batman Sherlock on the roof... ;D) but the way things ended up with the cabbie, the hospital scenes, Mycroft... loved it. And as far as sets go, got the perfect picture to illustrate that and continue the thread, too!
(seriously, as much as it looks like they're giving a neat 'nod' to the old-fashioned style classic Sherlock room, the new flat was so much better!)

Re: Remarkable settings - pictures from the episodes
This is too much pink, too much stuff, too much light. Too much of everything. I personally couldn't stand such a room. Nobody who is portrayed with a slightly autistic character would live there. No straight lines. No symmetry. Not enough books.

Re: Remarkable settings - pictures from the episodes
Speaking of 'dark and smoky' shots, I swear this one gets me every single time, as far as style/mood goes....

I love this door one matched with Moriarty's entrance to Baker Street.

Baker Street is so different from time to time.

Another unusual shot from ASiP. I like the dominant colours, purple and black plus the metallic shine of light.

This reminds me a bit of 'West Side Story'.

OOPs, did they accidentally film themselves?
