Hi, David.  Speaking of pictures, I don't have a current email address for you!  Please email me so I can send you some Rochester pics, if you'd like.  Thanks!

Nice pics. We were over at table 36 in the left rear corner. My little digital camera didn't do it justice. You must have been one of the folks in front of the stage with the real cameras. Thanks for posting; I don't think mine will come out too good.

Good show huh?? Best I've seen out of the last 4 I've seen.

Great Show!! 1st time I've seen Joe headline and was not disappointed. Had 5 new Bonamassa fans with me, and even my wife might be a convert. Who knows.

My camera is a V550 Kodak. I brought a mini-tripod, and used some drink glasses to prop the camera up on the table to get over some of the heads. otherwise, with no flash they come out all blurry. Sucked.

I was one of those!  I usually have a little point and shoot, however, Fotopete let me use his back up camera.  I was sitting on the floor at table ten, right between Joe and Mark.

Will post link to photos in a day or so...work has gotten in the way of life, once again!

Re: Shirley, Mass 07/08/06

ugh!  Thanks for posting that (dripping with sarcasm)!

I finally got my gallery finished from using Pete's camera...

As you could see, I was sitting on the floor.  At one point, during the low part of Mountain Time, I was shooting Joe, not realizing that Mark was right in front of me.

Pete, my photo editing programs have a complex right now (Mercury is still retrograde), so all these are unedited.  I could not even resize them without the photos turning a bright orange hew.  After three days of attempting to work on them, I gave up!

Thanks for letting me use your camera!

great pics Tara, esp the one you linked to Mark and all those of Joe smiling!

Thanks, Jane.  I had a wide angle lens, and I was just about in someone's lap (backing up) trying to get the pictures of Mark.  Yep, he was that close.

Other's that attended, please correct me if I am wrong...

It all started at Sculler's...during an intense solo, a fella yelled out, "Joe you  bastahhd!"  This was meant in a sincere way.  (No spell check needed, insert your best Boston accent!)  Joe had to stop playing, he was cracking up.  I think the same fella was at this show, and yelled it out again.  Of course, Joe had to stop again.  And it was like 95+ in the club, he looked like he was melting on stage.

Re: Shirley, Mass 07/08/06

Tara - check your po box - the dvd should be there. I reduced color saturation about 25%.
At first I thought I had the saturation boosted in cam settings  - but when I when my mark II's had same color saturation I was concerned.

So what does a parent do when color is saturated?
Yup,... pulls his little girlie out for a quick test shoot.

same setting's - check these results'
