    No idea where those Olympus feckers are hiding.

    The s5 looks like a good camera. D200 body and mount I think with a weird sensor. If I were a Nikonian I'd be very interested.

    GUY GOWAN - ETNT WORLD - ANNOUNCE SEMINAR AGENDA AT PHOTO FEST IRELAND 2007


    Whatever your creative persuasion or application GUY GOWAN has the midas touch. If you're lucky enough to see him in action at one of his workshops or better still book him for a one to one in-house training session - you'll never look back.

    His skill and breadth of knowledge covers the full creative spectrum, be it a photographer, designer or indeed printer. Guy's expertise has been garnered from over twenty five years of working at the leading edge of technology in the creative industry around the globe, independently and as an appointed Apple and Adobe consultant. Guy is an unmatched digital imaging guru and high end retoucher. He's also much sought after as a consultant. He has a phenomenal skill when it comes to reappraising and re-structuring the whole strategy, work flow and set up of a studio or creative business.


    PHOTO FEST IRELAND 2007 - http://www.photofestireland.com

    If you would like to see Guy Gowan in action - he'll be in Ireland presenting four FREE seminars at Photo Fest Ireland 2007.

    At 'Photo Fest Ireland' learn Guy Gowan's workflow methodology and non-destructive techniques to achieve the highest consistent quality of work attainable with an unmatched speed of turnaround.


    11.00 - 11.45
    Retouching Workflow Fundamentals

    Most photographers repeatedly perform the same basic retouching steps on every image in a manual process. Guy's automated retouching methodology removes this labour intensive time consuming slog. He will demonstrate:-

    *
    building blocks on auto histogram assessment
    *
    image contrast
    *
    image sharpening

    You will learn how to create an action of these attributes which in turn can be used to create a droplet. This droplet can then be used to perform fully editable automated basic retouching on multiple images to consistent standards.


    13.00 - 13.45
    Apple Aperture

    Using metadata to manipulate and manage images is the future industry standard and Apple Aperture is the ground breaking application dedicated to photographers which does exactly that. From importing and organising to manipulation, output and publishing, it's a one stop shop. Guy will show you how with Apple Aperture.

    Watch Guy in action now ! - http://www.apple.com/uk/pro/techniques/aperture/workingwithaperture.html


    15.00 - 15.45
    Monochromatic Imaging

    From the advent of digital photography, creating a quality monochromatic image has been the holy grail. Few realise that you can achieve image depth digitally to a far greater level then previously achievable in the traditional lab. Guy will now show you how to achieve monochromatic image quality you previously only dreamed of !


    17.00 - 17.45
    Retouching Workflow Advanced

    Developing on from the morning seminar, Guy will demonstrate how to add more features to his automated workflow such as:-

    *
    Shadow detail control
    *
    Colour cleaning
    *
    Colour boosting
    *
    Full sharpness control
    *
    Monochromatic features
    *
    Sepia toning



    See what others think of Guy............

    "I've seen colleagues 'go digital' and suffer loss of time and quality in their business. Guy Gowan was the first all round educator to show me that we could consider going digital without any compromise of our quality and our workflow. He's not selling yet another magic bullet - his methods are coherent and logical, and our investment in training with Guy is saving Photogenic considerable time and money".
    Margaret Moore - Photogenic Photographers

    "I thought I knew Photoshop, I thought I was half decent - Watching Guy in action and learning from him, I realise that in fact I was a fat, balding, pub team player watching Zidane in action".
    Marc O'Sullivan - OSD Photo Agency


    To Note - for further details on these Seminars - please refer to the PDF file attached to this email.

    In addition - you can book Guy Gowan for 'one to one' training, consultancy services, in-house company training, presentations and workshops.

    JOHN MC DONALD OF 'NIKON SOLUTIONS TRAINING EXPERTS' - ANNOUNCE SEMINAR AGENDA AT PHOTO FEST IRELAND 2007

    10.15 - 10.45

    Getting the RAW advantage



    To get the highest possible quality output from your DSLR means working with RAW files. Many people are put-off going down this route because:-



    *
    The fabulous results attained with JPEG.
    *
    The cost of investment in special software.
    *
    The fear of increased processing times.

    In his presentation John will look at the many advantages of working in this format and demonstrate in a simple and easy to understand way how to work effectively with RAW to get the results you require.




    12.00 - 12.45

    Important DSLR Camera Settings



    Most instruction manuals describe what the multitude of settings and custom options are meant to do but very rarely do they explain when and how you should use them. Let John guide you through the most important functions and controls and demonstrate how to improve the results you are getting.


    14.00 - 14.45

    Portable Portraiture Solution



    You need to set-up quick, get your clients comfortable and start producing images as painlessly as possible. You want to show these images immediately to give them reassurance that you are concentrating on getting good pictures not taking over their world. You are genuinely excited about exploiting the immeasurable creative possibilities of multiple portable flash. By the way, would you mind holding this flash for me? John will show you how to do this.


    16.00 - 16.45

    Capture NX



    The design end-point of the Nikon Total Digital Imaging System. RAW NEF & JPEG processing like no other ap. Easy to understand image processing stages with powerful tools and a larger than you might expect chunk of the photographic part of the workflow sorted.

    REPROCENTRE BRING CANON LARGE FORMAT PRINTER TO PHOTO FEST IRELAND


    Reprocentre bring Canon Large Format to Photo Fest Ireland.
    Reprocentre Group, Ireland’s leading supplier of solutions to print and graphics market with a proven track record of success in wide and super-wide format digital solutions, have been chosen by Canon as their partners for the new imagePrograf Large Format printer range. Reprocentre Staff have completed a full program of Sales, Service and Colour management training in preparation.

    Canon
    Canon, world leaders in digital imaging technology, recently launched its first 60” large format printer, the imagePROGRAF iPF9000. Aimed primarily at the print-for-pay sector, including Professional Photographic, Fine Art and Print businesses, this new flagship device delivers best-in-class image quality at high speed, and incorporates a range of industry-leading technologies, including Canon’s new 12-colour pigment ink system. The imagePROGRAF iPF9000 is a major addition to Canon’s portfolio of large format printers, which now runs from 17” all the way up to 60”. The imagePROGRAF range, including the iPF9000 will be available for demonstration at Photo Fest Ireland. Canon’s Graphic Arts line of large format printers now includes the imagePROGRAF iPF5000, iPF8000, and iPF9000 printers at 17-, 44-, and 60-inches wide respectively.

    12-colour pigment ink
    The 12-colour pigment ink system not only improves print quality but also media compatibility and colour range. This means that the imagePROGRAF printers offer the widest colour gamut, and provides accurate colour reproduction on a variety of media.

    Canon’s dual print head design
    As the last link in the image processing chain, the L-COA processor intelligently interprets image data, directing the fast printing process. Combined with Canon’s dual print head design and the most ink nozzles per colour in the industry, the L-COA processor helps achieve print speeds of under seven minutes for A0 size prints with 1200x1200 dpi resolution on a glossy photo paper. The iPF8000 printer’s abundant number of nozzles and automatic clogged nozzle detection compensates if a nozzle becomes clogged by having other nozzles pull double-duty. This not only contributes to the printer’s speed and accuracy but also helps reduce wear-and-tear on the print heads, increasing the reliability of the printer.

    Professional Features
    With a maximum print resolution of 2400 x 1200 dpi, the new iPF8000 and iPF9000 is ideal for colour professionals with large-format printing needs. Advanced professional features such as automatic nozzle detection and compensation for reliability, 330-ml and 700-ml selectable ink capacity sizes for versatility, a large, backlit LCD panel for ease of use, and ink usage tracking for accountability are all part of the new devices to satisfy every colour professionals’ large format printing needs.

    Manfrotto has redesigned one of its most popular tripods for easier use.
    The 190XPROB features a new centre column that can be moved into a horizontal position without having to disassemble it first. The manufacturer has also improved the tripods' lever leg locks and leg angle release system for 'simpler operation'. The improved tripod, however, does retain some key features from its predecessor including its built-in bubble level, and foam grips. The 190XBPROB will now replace the 190PRO and PROB. Manfrotto has also released a version of this tripod without the horizontal centre column design called the 190XB. This is made from the same high-grade black anodised aluminium as the 190XPROB. This replaces the 190D, DB, CL and CLB models.

    AWARD WINNING HAHNEMUHLE PHOTO RAG PEARL NEW FINEART PAPER IS NOW AVAILABLE AND EXHIBIT AT PHOTO FEST IRELAND

    Photo Rag® Pearl 320 – a new FineArt paper from the Hahnemühle Digital FineArt Collection available from March 2007



    Hahnemühle FineArt presents Photo Rag® Pearl 320 - its 24th quality in its TIPA award-winning premium product line. At the end of last year samples from the first production run were showcased first of all at PhotoPlus Expo in New York. The response to Photo Rag® Pearl 320 was so favourable that the paper is now being included in the Digital FineArt Collection. The new quality is a natural white, pure cotton rag paper with the soft, homogenous Photo Rag® surface treated with an innovative Pearl coating.



    Many professional photographers and semi-professional users have been waiting impatiently for the launch of the natural white paper in the treasured Photo Rag quality with the Pearl coating. Photo Rag® Pearl 320 is reminiscent of Baryth paper with its warm tones. The paper features a high Dmax and a large tonal value (colour gamut) range that enables the reproduction of the finest colour and black/white nuances in three-dimensional prints. The precious feel of a real cotton rag paper offers also a “4th dimension”: sensuality and emotion of Fine Art photographs and art reproductions.


    Photo Rag® Pearl 320 is ideal for FineArt photo prints with both warm colour and grey tones, and also for art reproductions. Due to the exclusive use of cotton rag the premium paper is extremely age resistant and complies with the highest conservational standards. Its product features make it an ideal addition to the worldwide leading Digital FineArt Collection from Hahnemühle, and it is perfectly aligned for the latest printer and ink generation from Epson, Canon and HP. Photo Rag® Pearl, with a grammage of 320 g/m², is available now in all the popular sheet and roll sizes.

    I'll try to be there as well, time/hangover permitting. Hoping for a good deal on a lens too. So is it definitely correct that it's open to the public as well?

    alive a live oh, and just got bloody home. By eck, that was a long spin!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 657 ✭✭✭Benster


    So what did you lot think of what was on show?

    Me, I'd give a limb for one of those big poster printers. But apart from all the fancy gear on show, there wasn't much more to interest me. If it was my actual business maybe I'd think differently, but I'm fairly tight with money when it comes to the large amounts required for this hobby :-)

    And as I foretold, I was hungover to feck, so the whole thing was seen through a slowly dissipating alcoholic mist...with a satellite delay.

    Feeling-better B.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    The advanced Photoshop seminar was fantastic, some good gear on show - Got to play with some nice lenses. Wasn't impressed at all with Canon's 1D staff though...

    Who'd want to buy a camera they can't use!

    The portable lighting seminar was very dissapointing in a hilarious way - Completly Nikon orientated...with a guy that didn't have a clue!

    I'll be going next year alright though - For a tenner you can't go too far wrong.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,150 ✭✭✭FreeAnd..


    anybody take some good notes during any of the seminars? Was out there briefly but didnt have time to catch any of the seminars..not looking for much, just a complete synopsis of everything that was covered + examples (and videos/audio if possible ;) )

    Jeez ... hope we didn't scare yez too much ... :rolleyes:


    It was a pretty good show ... though we were all a bit goggle eyed getting up at 8:30 on Sunday ... after a late one the night before ...

    ... and I was quite surprised to find Fajitas! and Rymus curled up on the same couch ... ;)

    As for the show highlights for me -

    Getting a 1D Mk III in my paws ... looks nice but their demo guys are useless ... I'm still confused as to 1D v 5D ... but I placed an order with Albert for the 16-35 F2.8 MkII after seeing it on the 1D ... (along with the 70-200 F2.8 IS) ...

    The photoshop seminars by Guy Gowan were very impressive ... I only wish I was less hung over and took notes ... he makes it all look very easy ... but Fajitas will be posting his sharpening technique ... anyone get his contrast technique (this was very impressive) ? ... I even got a quote to get him over for a private boards session ... but we would need numbers to make it of value ... I'll post but I doubt we will get enough demand ... a 1 day session costs €1,500 plus expenses ... but it would be extremely worthwhile! ... maybe we can go in with a photo society of something ... and I would want money up front via pay pal or something ...

    Finally got me a new toy - http://www.pantone.com/Pages/Products/Product.aspx?pid=79&ca=2
    tried it last night ... works great on my cheapo 19" LCD ... you get a set of cards to check it off and matched perfectly to the screen ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,819 ✭✭✭rymus


    ... and I was quite surprised to find Fajitas! and Rymus curled up on the same couch ... ;)

    In our defense, it was a very large L shaped couch... No spooning of any shape or form occurred. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    Heh. That's what you think :p
