Well the team at True North have put together an amazing workshop for next Australia day and beyond. Have a look at the TRUE NORTH WEBSITE to get a feel for what is going to happen.
What I can also tell you is Nick Rains, Tony Hewitt and myself will be back to run a full three day workshop on the boat.
The 3 day workshop will include
Taking photographs – Composition, capture, camera settings, light
Post Production – RAW image conversion, photoshop techniques, other software used for specific results, sharpening and output to web and printers.
Colour Management – setting up monitors, profiling devices, icc profiles
Printing – colour managed workflow to obtain the best prints possible
Each of the three tutors will be available for one on one tuition as well as running at least 2 workshops each per day on the above topics and more such as
Pre-visualisation, creation, photographic themes, styles and inspiration
Now is the time to book your place as this is going to be very popular. Where else can you get to learn photography in luxury at one of Australia’s best kept secrets.
Prices include the workshop and the usual True North luxury
Explorer Class Cabin: 4499 pp
River Class Cabin: 3999 pp
Ocean Class Cabin: 3499 pp

Excellent work Mate!
To all Bloggers out there, this is an excellent chance to experience first hand what True North is all about when it is in full cruise mode and couple that to being in some of the best photographic areas in the local Perth area and with these great tutors and it will be a great time indeed.
The party night will be a lot of fun as well after getting brain overload for a few days!
I look fwd to seeing the lucky ones on board next year.
Cheers,
True North Mark
For bookings please call the North Star Cruises office on 08 9192 1829 and ask for Brook or Sam
Yep it offers real value when you consider what you will be getting.
Heya Mark,
Would be a great adventure of course, who wouldn’t want to be on the True North at any time.
Personally would be saving up to see the Rowley shoals when I get that bit of extra brass.
Just a question tho, and I don’t mean for it to be negative, but I think some of us who went this year may have the question. Did the sums not stack up to be able to do the same format as this year, as it seems out of reach for a local sojourn for the average punter. Kinda not a very exciting announcement in this regard, if you know what i mean. And I totally respect you have a biz to run and may prefer to just keep a certain consistency in the level of service to customer for you journeys.
Cheers

Have to say I agree with Craig on this one. Sounds like a great time and cool trip planned but a little out of reach for us average bloggers – seeing as most of us aspiring to be photographers and cant justify an outlay of up to $5000 for a business that is really just a hobby.
But having said that you do have a business to run and no doubt you will fill the spots quickly but I would personally rather save my pennies and head out to somewhere I haven’t seen before and have a holiday on the True North.
Good luck with the trip!
Have to say I agree with the above comments and statements. The trip next year will no doubt be a great couple of days and very popular but not something that I personally would do. The trip this year was a flawless day out at an affordable rate for most of us and I loved the concept, in fact it was far better than I thought it would be.
That said there is nothing wrong with this trip at all but I hope at some stage you can put something together that mimics this years Australia day trip, maybe in 2011.
I just wanna go on the True North!!
wish i young fella like me could afford such a luxury!
All,
When you consider that the people joining Christian and the other tutors next month in Karijini are paying close to these amounts I feel it represents real value for money, considering the whole True North experience.
I have tried to keep the prices as low as I can so that an entry level cruise experience is there for those who want to step up and perhaps a once of opportunity to see True North in full swing.
In answer to your question, Craig…we certainly subsidized this years gig considerably when you consider we provided the cruise, lunch and dinner and the tutors within the price…do that math!
I am sure there are those who will step up to this concept and I do believe it will be popular as I know the cruising ground is awesome.
Time will tell I guess.
Cheers,
True North Mark
I can see why it costs so much this isn’t a ferry ride across to Rottnest! this is a private boat with luxury accom, and the tutoring etc aswell!
Hey CF,
Can you keep your blog so regulars can comment but for us to not expect replies from you? I realise its time consuming for you and totally respect that 100% but I like reading this blog to read others comments not just yours! I don’t always leave comments but I read every post. I learn just as much from others that comment as i do from you. I feel cut off from everyone else now
sniff sniff -It must be a hard call for sure.
Cheers from Northern Territory Jules Campbell
I think the True North workshop on Australia Day would be a good way for you to catch up with all the Photogs Jules!
Cheers
