Austin Chromasia Workshop?
by Dave Wilson on Aug.28, 2010, under Photography
I’ve been a fan of David Nightingale’s work and his inspirational Chromasia photoblog for years so am very excited at the possibility of having him come to Austin to give a workshop on advanced post-processing techniques some time in early 2011. This would likely be a a couple of classes – a 1 day intro to HDR on a Friday followed by a 2 day class on advanced post processing. The class would be limited to 16-20 photographers. The numbers suggest we can do this for somewhere in the region of $350 per person for the 2 day class and $180 or so for the one day workshop.
Although nothing is finalised yet,I’m keen to gauge the level of interest to get an idea of how feasible this is. Would you be interested and do you feel this price is reasonable? I’m not asking for a commitment just now, merely an idea of how popular such a workshop would be.
If you’ve not seen David’s work, I strongly encourage you to take a look at his blog and portfolio. His post-processing techniques are the stuff of legend in the digital photography community and his use of HDR is superb. He is the author of “Practical HDR” and winner of many international awards.

I think this sounds like a great idea and the price seems reasonable. I’d be interested but since it would involve travel I couldn’t say more about if I could attend until I knew more about when.

James, Brian Matiash is talking to David to see if he can arrange another workshop in the north east if he’s going to be over in the US anyway. That may be more convenient for you though, of course, the weather will be a lot nicer down here in January

Depending on when you had this scheduled I would be very interested. I’ve loved David’s work for a long time and would love to attend. Arranging travel would be another question . . . so if the time is right I would be there!

Austin is only marginally more expensive to get to than Boston and would most likely have the better weather. Also, I haven’t been to Austin in a few years and it would be good to see again. Would love to be able to make it to either place, will all depend on the schedule. Hope this works out.

James,
I bet you’ll find that you can stay in Austin rather cheaper than Boston too. My air fare for next month’s trip to Boston is within 10% of the cost of 1 night in the hotel I’m staying in!
On a purely personal note, I hope you can make it down here since it would be great to tie another Twitter friend to a real face.

I am definately interested. Need to be included on date so travel plans could be made early enough. I’m in Denver

Testing…1,2,3. Seems to work now, Dave.
Definitely interested in the workshop.
