Title – ‘Channels, channels, channels...’

In this one-hour session we will demonstrate how to achieve the ultimate colour and black and white images. 'Channels' are the key to everything in Photoshop, adding 'Calculations' to your skill set simply puts you in control and allows you to achieve non-destructive, consistent results previously not thought possible. (40mins approx)



Title – ‘Black and White...’

It's not just black and white, there are many different ways to create or convert a colour image to black and white. Most people wonder why they can't re-create the depth and levels of detail previously only achieved in the dark room. We will show you how to go way beyond what was previously only the domain of the traditional darkroon to produce images with a stunning level of quality, speed and most importantly consistent, reliable repeatability. (20mins approx)

Title – ‘Wireless Networking for Photographers’

Starting with an overview of the subject, this seminar deals with the practical applications of Wi Fi technology in Photography. It illustrates the advantages of transmitting digital files directly to a nearby notebook computer or to drive location on a network anywhere in the world. Citing real-world examples, hear how photographers across a range of applications are benefiting by way of speed, convenience and ultimately through financial reward by using the Nikon WT-2 Wireless Transmitter in their work.

Sponsored by CALUMET – Jim is delighted to present a presentation of his wonderful work to date. His works include high quality Monochrome hand printed images, ‘even with the advent of modern digital capture’. With a fast moving visual presentation, showing a kaleidoscope of images that he takes in a normal day of work, and he will also illustrate what he considers his best mono images. Jim’s presentation style is light hearted, entertaining, while informative, and in doing so he would like to raise funds for a worthy charity close to his heart, ‘The Marie Curie Cancer Care’ – a small donation from persons attending this particular seminar would be extremely grateful.

It looks good ,personally I'd be a bit intimmidated and would think it's more about sales to the industry.
Although the black and white talk looks interesting.

It is pitched at people that make an income from photography and run by Helen Burke from IrishPhotoNews but dont let that stop ye if you wanna go, go

Cheers Ali for posting that, I'd forgotton about it.

Unfortunately,I'm working all that day. I'd say some of those topics would be really interesting,and even if it's aimed at the pros , you would probably pick up some useful info.

AlisonB

Definitely worth a look. I have a confirmed studio shoot on Sunday so i can neither make Trim or Liffey Valley. Looks like it would be a great day out.

edunon

I'm definitely going. Anything to improve/speed my workflow is very welcome. Recommended to anyone, including non-pros.

I've met Guy a few times, he even set up the correct colour space in Photoshop for me. This made a huge difference to my shots!

He really knows his stuff and €10 is well worth it for even one of his seminars. This is something anyone interested in using the right software to make their shots better should consider attending.
