Digital Wildlife Photography Workshop

Hello

Following our highly acclaimed Digital Wildlife Photography Workshop earlier this year we are running it again...

*****DIGITAL WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP*****

If you feel it appropriate to circulate this notification amongst your members I would much appreciate it. Thank you.

When: NOVEMBER 26TH, 27TH AND 28TH 2010.

This is a detailed workshop which is suitable for beginners and more advanced wildlife photography enthusiasts. It run's over a weekend and will look at the latest equipment used by digital stills wildlife photographers, camera settings and techniques for photography in challenging conditions plus all the tips you will pick up from the tutors and other students during the workshop.

Where: BALTIMORE, WEST CORK, IRELAND.

There will be many opportunities for practical wildlife photography at selected venues around West Cork. If you want to make better digital wildlife photographs or add wildlife photography to your range of skill sets as a photographer then this weekend course will prove invaluable.

With: AWARD WINNING WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHERS PHIL POUND and CHARLIE LEE. The emphasis is on practical photography sessions.

During the workshop zoologist and wildlife guide Nic Slocum will assess the role of ethics in wildlife photography and look at how to market and sell your finished images providing a potentially useful revenue stream; both very important aspects for those thinking of developing their hobby into a potentially money making activity.

There will also be a session in the use of Photoshop to manage your images. Course notes will be provided to take away.

At €310, to INCLUDE accommodation, food and tuition, this workshop represents excellent value for money.

Further details may be seen at www.thewildlifefilmschool.com but I attach a programme for you above.

Please come back to me if you have any questions at all.

Best regards

Nic

Sheldon Photographic News

Open day at Sheldon Photographic Saturday October 9th next. 9am-5.00pm


Podge Kelly and Epson Workshop Sunday, October 10th next. Cost €50. Limited spaces available.


Hi Everybody

A lot of changes have happened since our last news email update and not only in the photo world!

Back in January we moved our entire business over to our premises in Airside, Swords and with the move we changed our business model from a retail environment to a trade sales and demonstration area. We even put in a full working studio and this Sunday sees the first of a planned series of workshops geared around this. Our website has grown quite a lot too and we have increased our web products gradually over the year. Most recently we added a "Photokina in Pictures"  tab from Sheldon's visit to Co logne which has been getting lots of hits. Check out the site when you have a few minutes.

On Saturday the 9th next we are holding an open day to showcase Epson's printer range and we invite you to come along and have one of your images printed out and catch up with recent events and product launches from Photokina. We will be extra friendly with teas and coffee all day and if you fancy a few shots in the studio with the Elinchrom lighting we will even let you have a go. This gives us an opportunity to test out all the equipment that we will have in use for our workshop event the next day and everybody attending on either day will be entitled to some special pricing on the Epson printers, Datacolor Calibration and LaCie products as well as a host of other products.

Sunday the 10th next, we are delighted to have have joined forces with Epson to bring you a day of image processing with the accomplished photographer, Podge Kelly. We will have a model on h a nd to pose for the attendants and Podge will be demonstration his workflow techniques where everything from posing the model to printing and framing the pictures will be discussed. A very few spaces are still left so please contact us if you are interested. The cost for the day is €50.

We will also be show casing the latest products from our partners LaCie, Hahnemuehle, Fuji Hunt and Datacolor where we will have the very latest lens calibration and camera colour calibration kits.

Drop by and use the studio and get some prints printed while you are at it.

Remember that special prices apply to all people attending so grab yourself a bargain while you are there.

Regards

IPF Print and Projected Image Competition

Attached is a copy of the entry form and rules for the regional qualifying rounds. I have also attached the program for the weekend of the finals. I would ask each club with a website to post these items to it; and, if possible, to have the program for the weekend open on a page in order to promote the workshop and lectures for the weekend. Entry form and rules are also available for download on the IPF website. I would also ask each club to emphasise to their members that the mount size is 20" x 16". The Creggan Court Hotel has agreed a rate of €40 per person sharing and €50 for a single room for those staying over for the dinner on Saturday night.

Thank you for your help, and if you have any queries, don't hesitate to contact me.
