Topic: Elgin, IL - March 7, 2009

We had excellent seats, row B dead center, which actually turned out to be 4 rows back. Good for overall enjoyment, not so good for photography. Theaters are not my favorite places to take photos because I always try to take photos as discreetly as possible and it's a little more challenging in theater settings.

Again, may be best viewed as a slideshow - upper right part of the page.

Lee:

All I can say is WOW!!!  I was at the show but religated to the second to last row of the balcony.  Sound was great, however it wouldn't have lended itself to taking pictures even if I had my camera, venue rules and all.  Glad you were able to shoot these shots so the rest of us Bonafanatics can enjoy them. big_smile big_smile big_smile

Great pics!
The addition of the two rows of seats was even worse if you were in the front row, because you're at the same level as those seats, which means those people actually block your view. Luckily, I'm tall enough that I could still see OK...alas, my wife is 5'-2" and had problems all night.
