Tonight, Florida Orchestra concluded its free “Pops in the park” series of the 2006-2007 season with an amazing performance at a park in north Tampa. Lots of our friends came out to see this concert, and we all truly enjoyed a wonderful night of beautiful music. The smog from the burning fires in northern parts of Florida has finally cleared up and for the first time in last couple of weeks, being outdoors was quite pleasant again.

I did not have my camera with me this time; however, I did manage to snap few good photos last time the orchestra performed at the Coachman Park (Clearwater) less than a month ago. Unfortunately, the custom curve I had loaded after I got my D70 back from service was a bit too aggressive which resulted in minor loss of highlights, but overall I was quite pleased with the performance of the 70-200 VR. The picture I’m posting here is of a friend of ours - Eugene Bazhanov, Assistant Principal Second. He has been with The Florida Orchestra since 1991 and I’ve been fortunate to know him since the spring of last year. Tomorrow he’s celebrating his birthday, so I’m sure I’ll have some more pictures of him to report very soon! :-)
