Oh No! Not more (great?) photos from Folkestone

...well there was a big smile this end as they cycled through Wooders!... some real gems indeed! 

...Velvia!?... yeah!... there is some in my fridge if you want some!? 

You can be forgiven the lapse Wooders. I'd have blown off the photo work for a last shot at sun before the dreary winter sets in as well. I remember Portugal and it is  . Great shots once again and the different tones add a fresh look. Thanks.

Getting good there mister.  You know we never get tired of Joe pictures here.  Like the velvia tones.

Roy - Joe was doing the stubble thing a couple of years ago and I haven't seen it turn into a beard yet:

Joe has had the "stubble thing" going on and off going back at least 5 years.  Interesting to know you were born with a beard Rick, I had to wait 14 years and then shazaam!

Now after the above delay much shorter than a Portugal straycation, but much easier to ignore than those fantastic pictures Phil! Sandy is right, we can't get too many, let alone enough.  Beside your color experiments, it is really something to see the veritable rainbow of colors in the JOEshow nowadays!!! The lights, the guitars (all of them striking against Joe in black).

Captured quite nicely my good man! 
Check out Bogie's Red & Evil look in one!   (Set 2, Joe with his green "Luke", looking back, just a few pics before the the picture with the swath of blue light cutting diagonally across Joe and his guitar)

I think I'm losing it - I completely missed this.

Good work Phil.

As I've got the same camera I think I need to start playing with all those buttons a bit more - the quality of your pics is excellent 

Thank you for all your nice comments and thank yous, I'm glad you liked them. They would have been even better if Joe had kept still long enough.    He moves too quickly for my Fuji at 1/20 second. 

Ian, I like that one too. The grain on the guitar has been brought out nicely.

Rocket, I had a sequence of 5 or 6 identical shots with different coloured lights almost cutting Joe in half. The colours in the current lightshow are something very special and the high level of lighting a photographer's dream. I saw the red hue on Bogie's face and made a comment on flickr about him being a little devil.

Sandy, you'll get some great shots when you see Joe in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to see them. 

Geoff, I had contemplated stitching all my Folkestone photos together to make a youtube video, but I don't have a clue how to. Your time lapse photography at Newcastle was amazing.

I've probably taken around 2,000 photos of Joe this year so may give it a rest at the next show I go to - then again, I might not.

Hi Phil, you need to get hold of a decent video editing package. They're not too expensive these days for what they are capable of. The only problem is that they require huge amounts of virtual memory to work at their best. I bought the Coral Video Pro X2 package for about £80 from PC World, but found that my old PC just couldn't hack it - kept crashing - so as it was so old I upgraded to a Dell desktop quad four core processor, with squillions of RAM and a tarrabite of hard drive. It's pretty quick - did that time lapse in about two hours. would have been quicker had I known what I was doing LOL!! It's great for editing diving videos as you can fade / reduce the primary audio so you don't get the sound of breathing all the time! That's a feature that is not available on most cheaper / freeware programs. Go for it, you'll have ours of frustration / sorry fun!
