Nikon School

[ericf]

Anyone have any first hand knowledge on the "workflow" course Nikon is having here in a couple of weeks? I was interested in attending.

Eric are you talking about the one next tues night 7-9 @ crown plaza?

[ericf]

http://www.nikonschool.com/steps.html ,,offered Jan. 29 . Not sure if it's worth the day and cost. Even though it's not terribly expensive, I hate losing a whole day and only gaining regrets.

they are usually $50 and if you register through the store we give you $25 back as a gift card so its only $25 really.

[ericf]

According to their registration, they want $159 for an all day course. If they actually are informative and teach tips tricks etc. it is probably worth it. But if they simply are info-mercials that try to sell you their products then I'd like to know in advance so I can skip it.

i do know that all the nikon schools have loads of the high end gear on hand to try.

Seems like I've bought enough of the high end gear that I need . I feel I could quit my job and turn pro if I new what I was doing My wife says I'm crazy But I'm not one that screws around. When I go "swimming" I jump right in head first. Money matters, but not when my wife pays for it I'll probably try it (the school). I think my spouse and daughter will be out of town so that helps justify the day.

oh you bought the 400mm 2.8? and the 600mm?

cause those are what im reffering to.

[ericf]

nope, don't have use for them

I went to two of the classes. I don't think they were worth the money and day spent. Reason went to 2 was my work paid, due to taking customer with me. I got some pointers but I'm glad I didn't pay.
