   Funny. I was just checking out the sample sessions last night and they look great. This type of training is what will set your offerings apart from those that only focus on software training.

   I see that Joe is a Nikon guy and that his training will include use/set up of Nikon speedlights. I’d be interested in some in depth training on the Canon lights also. How best to set up ratios wirelessly, etc.

   Keep the good stuff coming!

   Would be nice if KelbyTraining.com had subtitles or closed captioning for deaf and hard of hearing. Downloadable notes would be a good idea.

   By reading Kelby’s Awesome books they make, im sure the videos are just as good.

   I am interested in Joe’s Computer Tripod setup. He discusses it in the training but I cannot find it anywhere on B&H. He never names the rig

   BUT, I do like this as I am a Canon shooter. He never compares cameras or makes me feel bad for having Canon. I have met Joe personally and I have even had my picture shot by him. He never said he takes a bad picture….Come on Joe, You shot me

   Joe’s teaching style is so toward my style of learning. His sense of humor, I can see why he, Scott and Moose are such good friends. Scott, Love the online training!!! Keep the good classes coming.

   Hi Scott,
   I am still enjoying re-reading TDPB vol2. May I suggest converting the WHIMS acronym (which has saved me several times already) to WHIMPS, with P being for power. Alas, dead batteries have bitten me recently.
   Keep up the great work.

   I have anxioulsly been waiting for Joe’s class. He is one of my favorite photographers. I went through the entire class last night. I enjoyed it but it was more basic than I wanted. I am hoping he will do something with Speedlights and location use. Something like the DVD “Speed of Light” he did for Nikon but more detailed.

   It was very interesting to see the equipment. I also would like to know about the tripod setup he uses so the laptop can be mounted next to the camera.

   Kelby Online Training is fantastic. Definitely money well spent. I am using it almost daily. Looking forward to the upcoming David Ziser classes. Another great photographer and classy guy.

   Hello Scott!

   Kelby training is a great addition and a wonderful way to learn.

   I noticed that RC’s “Photoshop CS3 & Dreamweaver CS3 Intergration” class is available on Kelby Training site but do you when the DVD will be available? I pre-ordered it months ago. I have talked to customer service and they don’t have any idea of a ship date. Do you have any information, some kind of ETA?

   -Thank you, I appreciate all of the great learning resourses you provide.

   Hi Scott,

   Completely off the subject.

   I just read a story on USAToday’s sight about a couple that found a camera in a cab and reunited it with the owner via some detective work. One of the comments left with the story said that when you clear a memory card take a Photo of contact information so that if you lose a camera and an honest person finds it, then they get the camera back. However I think maybe your suggestion of labeling your memory card might work just as well.

   We could only wish that an honest individual would, indeed, find it if it is lost.

   See ya,

   Mike

   Just finished watching Joe’s class, great job! I’m looking forward to more in-depth classes by Joe.

   As a KOT subscriber for a couple of weeks, I have a suggestion regarding the video player for KOT. It would be great if there was an option to ‘play all’ videos. You know, instead of having to click the link to each individual video they will play automatically in order. Call me lazy. Ha ha! I sent this suggestion via the ‘feedback’ button on Kelby Online Training website, too.

   Thanks for providing great resources for people to learn from.

   Scott – I’m glad to see you doing shooting training, too. I loved the Andy Greenwell studio course but can’t find the link with prices on Andy’s Gear bag page. Where would we find that? would like to see Andy do one on product lighting! Keep up the good work.

    Scott,

    Just watched the entire series of Joe’s lighting class. What a great opportunity to learn from one of the greats. It was like following him around in the studio and having him answer your endless stream of questions. Absolutely worth the price of admission!

    Like others, what’s the low down on the camera/computer stand?

    One of the most entertaining parts of the classes were the faces they were making as the segment was about to start. Great shots of Joe. Debbie’s getting quite a lot of exposure her around NAPP isn’t she! How lucky can we get!

    Lastly, I like Joe’s idea’s on the rules, or the code… a set of guidelines actually. Savy?

    Time to go fly.

    Hi Scott:

    Just a couple of things about Joe McNally and the NAPP website. If anyone isn’t a member then they need to sign up! Then they need to sign up for the on-line training. It is an absolute bargain for what we are getting. It is the most educational photography site on the internet, especially for someone like me who learns better with visual examples. I am excited about Joe McNally in particular because I purchased his “Speed of Light” DVD. It is fantastic.

    I would also like to give you an idea for a photographer’s pocket guide. You know the “recipes” for the photos in both of your Digital Photography books? I’d love to have a small version of all of the recipies to carry along with me in my camera bag.

    I’m sure there of plenty of other people that would like the same thing.

    Sincerely,
    Cynthia

    I agree with Cynthia, a KELBY QUICKGUIDE for the Photographer on the go, would be fabulous. I actually started one last night after beginning to thumb through THE DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK 2. I know many of these will become routine, like everything else done with repetition. But what a simplified gold mine for the beginner or intermediate.

    Hi Scott,

    Any chance of getting some training in regards to using “BIG FLASH” outdoors example Elinchrom Ranger, Profoto etc…

    Training in regards to over powering the sun, changing your background from light to dark and vice versa etc…

    A outdoor fashion photography training session using the “BIG FLASH” would be awesome.

    Kelby Training is Rockin the House!

    Hi Scott,

    Don’t know about you, but I’m really feeling that 2008 is going to be one heck of a year if you’re a photographer … new hardware (D3 etc…) Kelby Training, talks of Lightroom 2.0 and so on…..

    Exciting times ahead :o)

    Best wishes to you and yours,
    Glyn

    As mentioned earlier by someone, this is the type of training that will set kelbytraining apart. Lots of places offer software training. Not many offer the kind of course Joe has put together. Excellent.

    I have to admit for Joe being such a great photographer and this being a technical website the video production blows. The hand held camera following him around was necessary, i guess, but when he’s standing still it was quite annoying. As a photographer I expect just a little bit better. Especially if you’re going to sell this series. Clean it up will you.

    Well done. The quality of the photography instruction distinguishes Kelby Training from the software only sites. Great idea. Keep ‘em coming.
