Big News ~ plus pictures for good measure

April 22nd, 2009

Last weeks camera skills workshop generated some great portraits captured using natural light. Marko made a masterpiece of this frame from my 5D mk2.

Another frame from the same set. The delegates left with all the inside knowledge on perspective, f-stops, exposure factors, lens characteristics and much, much more.

Hi all, I’m back following a recent down time because of a … malicious virus attack on all our systems. We decided to pull our picture galleries that contain Adobe Lightroom web modules because these were the target of our attack. Anyway, we’ve finally been given the all clear by our development gurus in the US and the attackers have been locked out. I now feel confident to get back to the usual blog contributions. Thank you all for your your patience.

I’ve put the free time I’ve had to good use and I’ve devised a very special Italian Job, a 4 day training workshop programme at a castle in Tuscany in October. All the information, news and dates will be released by Friday to coincide with the launch of the booking facility.

In other news, my personal business consultant and I have created a killer programme for a one day spectacular event at a fabulous hotel in Hampshire on Monday 22nd June. Attending this event is a must for small business owners in the social photography sector who want to ramp up profits whilst cutting working hours. The day comes in at under £100, and is like nothing we’ve ever staged before. So put the date in your diary and keep an eye out for the full info and booking information to be released by Friday.

Evolve 2 got underway today and I can feel the excitement and energy of the group building.

It’s great to be back online.

Damien.

Here is one more frame from the Camera Skills workshop for good measure.
