Well Nick Rains and I had our first ever Tasmania workshop last weekend Held at the Freycinet Lodge. It was a fantastic weekend with 14 great people and lots of laughs, mostly at my expense but I wouldn’t have it any other way. The talent in the room was unbelievable and I’m not talking about the super fabulous Nick Rains and his Colour Management juggernaut, but the participants who attended.

The weather didn’t play ball for most of the weekend but we didn’t get any rain that stopped us from shooting each day. Some of the images taken were pretty awesome to say the least and you can check out a lot more on Nick’s website

I want to thank everyone who came to the workshop and made it a great time for Nick and myself. It was a group that gelled so well. The lodge put on some brilliant food, those morning and arvo teas rocked. I only have one complaint, I wanted seconds on the scones and you buggers ate them all.

We will be running the same workshop next year in December so if your interested let Nick know.

Steve Pope was one of the participants on the workshop, this is what he had to say.

Christian,

Thanks again for the workshop. I learned so many techniques and tips that it is still percolating down through my brain.  You and Nick are fantastic instructors and more importantly wonderfully encouraging to all of us, no matter how talented or not we are.

And I didn’t even have to bribe him to say that.
