I'm an ElectraWoman fan, but even I'll admit she was incompetent, as demonstrated here (viewtopic.php?t=36281) and here (viewtopic.php?t=36089). But the show's cinematographer/director of photography was at least as bad, though not nearly as deliciously.

In the Empress of Evil episode, they hid ElectraWoman behind a column in the closing shot before the commercial.

After ElectraWoman and DynaGirl got KOed by the Pharaoh's Solaris, they inexplicably left a pedestal in front of them. It would've been OK to move the prop for the cliffhanger shot.

After escaping SpiderLady's first trap, the camera was positioned in order to have a column partially block the titular character.

ElectraWoman had maneuver around the lug known as King Alex in order to mouth off to the GlitterRock while in his trap.

The only possible explanation for this being mirrored is the previous shot had DynaGirl on the left and ElectraWoman on the right. Note also the black edging on the far right, a possible byproduct of video mirroring in the 1970s.

Lastly, as the ladies prepare to take on the Pharaoh again, the sky revealed its limits.
