Because the file is large, you will need to unzip it, if you are on a dial up connection, you might want to pass on viewing it.
On the last day of training, all attendees handed over our picture disks from our cameras and then we applied techniques we learned during class and made a slide show.
It was a fun experience since I had never been on a ship, it was great learning from such an experienced teacher (actually there were 2 this time) and getting to visit 3 different countries was an added bonus.

WOW John.
NICE stuff. Is photography a hobby? Or a new profession? Or an old profession? ( not to be confused with the "oldest" profession..... ( insert laugh here).
I had briefly toyed with the idea of going....but didn't ( obviously).
Perhaps in August. So just what DID you learn?
Who made the towel animals?
Thanks for posting.

Chuck,
The photos are from the cameras of all of the class members..... Some cameras were big time stuff, and me with my Kodak P850. We "enhanced" the photos in class so that really helped.
I think I learned soooo much, I went into "Overload" - good thing Foster loaded us up with DVD's and manuals to bring home and review, so I can at least re-learn at my own pace.
The towel animals were made each evening by the room steward when they would "turn down the bed" for the night. It was soooo funny, I looked on the list of things to do on the ship, they actually had a class you could go to - to learn how to make the towel animals.

I think the program was called Photo Show.
Pretty much drop in your photos add different effects and then music............. not very complicated.
I believe there are several price levels of the program starting around $79. and the professional version is around $500+

1 did strictly promo products, a couple did screen printing, a man & wife did screen printing & embroidery (most all of it sub. out) and there were 3 people from Norway that were into design, like stationary, cards etc..........
It was interesting talking to everyone because we were in different lines of work but in a similar/related industry.

Continuing the link, I've been to a couple of Fosters boot camps at his home and would recomend them, plus I really learnt a lot. On the courses I did there was a good cross section of people (no other other engravers) but the plus side to that is no 'talking shop' you get to discuss other industries and trades. It's good sometimes to stand back and have a sideways view at other industries.
