Went to Mark Cleghorn's "Monkey Business" Seminar today and came away with some cracking stuff. Some business ideas I'll be working on and a preview of some of the goodies in CS5. Content aware fill is AWESOME!!

I've also just renewed my subscription to Phototraining4U.

If you have not yet had a look, it's a great site. Yes you need to pay but you can pay an annual fee of £199 for the first year and £99 for the second. But you also get £100 to spend at Loxley's in the first year and I think there may be another smaller amount in year two.

You can also join using a monthly payment.

For that you have access to over £300 short training films (about 20 mins each) Subjects include studio lighting, speedlights, posing, business ideas, shooting skills.....There is also a freeview section with films that Mark did for Lastolite.

Not everyone can get along to a local college to undertake regular classes and this allows you do pick up what you want, when you want. OK, you don't get a qualification from it but there is loads of great content. Not much for the landscape shooter but there is some new stuff from Andy Rouse on wildlife. (Not a huge amount of content for you guys though) If you shoot people then it's a great way to learn.

Going tomorrow, sounds like it might be worth it then. I assume there is no point in taking a camera.
 
There was an opportunity to shoot a few pics at lunch. I didn't take mine because I wanted to see the trade stands :)

And I didn't even buy anything.....yet ;)
 
Personally, I signed up for this service last year and although the loxley voucher was great, I find that I just don't have time to watch the videos on Mark's site. I had the same when I signed up to lynda.com and kelbytraining.com, great sites but you need to know you'll invest time in watching the online videos otherwise.....well, it's common sense really.

;)
 
I have recently signed up to Phototraining4u and have to say that I'm finding it incredibly useful, I am already noticing improvements in my portrait and wedding work as a result.

I'd thoroughly recommend it!

The Vids Are very informative....but I end up counting how many times he says "actually":D

Theres a ton of free vids on the net though, dealing with similar subjects and not that hard to find.

:lol: He does say Actually quite a lot actually....DOH!:bonk:

I agree it's a great site, I was in 2 minds subscribing at first and parting with the money, but it's well worth it.

If you note Nigel, I didn't use that one but posted the .com one.

I'm not that cheap :razz:
 
I went on the seminar the first day in Cardiff, some great ideas on maximising your profits and business ideas...

I am now in my Second year of Phototraining4u and i would not have learnt anywhere near as much info as if i hadn`t watched these films...

The films are more portrait and wedding orientated but that is Mark`s speciality...
