A huge thanks to Stuart for the effort he put in with the printer profile workshop! It filled a vital gap in my knowledge of the subject. For those who were not there Stuart arranged for a subject matter expert to give a talk and demonstartion on the above subject and Stuart made some very large prints from our files with the new Canon printer...the fastest inkjet printer I have ever seen. A very impressive machine! Canon printers were not previously on my radar screen but they are now seriously competitive with Epson. Stuart did go a lighter shade of pale when he printed out one of Leons panoramas and it ended up being many metres long! This was a very complex subject and all of the participants learnt heaps. Thanks to you and your team Stuart.

Well done Stuart.

Another selfless contributor to the general standard of photography and knowledge of photography within this forum.

Leon, I am guessing you were using the machine which costs a holiday for two to Bali to re-ink? :lol:

Thanks Stuart for a big big effort

It was my pleasure guys....great to see a few people walking away with their panos printed....

As it happens Leon's Pano was a excellent bush scene, it was fortunate that he captured this scene as we have since had to cut down all the trees in the picture to give us enough paper to print it.

I echo Matt's thanks to Stuart for the informative presentation, making the venue available and for his colleages who gratiously gave up part of their Saturday to educate us.

Thanks also to Matt for imparting his very thorough photoshop knowlege and for patience in adddressing our many "how did you do that" type of questions.

The morning was very fruitfull for those who were lucky enough to attend

A BIG BIG THANKS to Stuart for his generousity today!!!


Everybody was shocked speechlessly with the pano shot I brought home today. The printer workshop was very helpful, I learned so many things that I could imagine before attending.

Just too bad that I cant afford a printer like that, otherwise I wont be painting my room or buying wallpapers :lol:


Thanks to Matt as well for the thorough photoshop tutorial, I did learned quite some new stuffs today, and will give them a try! PS. I feel very sorry to Ken as which he couldnt attend the event due to some unfortunate issue with his truck :( Sorry mate

I must say, after seeing the results displayed at the dinner last night (to much applause from the audience, that what we are about after all, taking great images) I was utterly impressed! Even if Leon's image took 5 stout men to hold it up :)

Stuart, Matt K ...

Tuank you, both of you, for your efforts in making the two workshops such worthwhile events for our members.

Stuart,

An especially big thank you to you, on behalf of everyone here, for your generous donation of the use of your premises and equipment in the running of these workshops, along with the provision of the refreshments etc.

Looking at the results last night from the printer profiling workshop, I have only one word to say: awsome.

Echoing the comments above - thanks very much Stuart for the provision of premises, equipment, refreshments and expertise on Saturday. I really do appreciate just how much effort you put into the workshop for the benefit of those of us lucky enough to attend. Like Matt, it filled a big gap in my knowledge of the subject.
