  2. Cool, I was wondering when Think Tank was coming to B&H, I have replaced 3 of my bags with them, they are CAKB! Any idea if there will be a Kelbytraining.com class on Matt’s PS Compositing? I would love to see that! Thanks Drad, your great no matter what Scott says on Giggle+ :)

  12. Having just completed photographing a pair of Australian Black Swans lay, hatch and raise three cygnets I would be interested to explore how Fay’s DVDs could help me enhance my images.

  17. Wooo Hooo! I won, so excited, though I will be gutted if there is another CJ Evans! Looks like my brother can make his own way back to the airport – I’ve got a class to go to!

  24. Sure hope Matt takes his LR4 tour to Boston.  Until then, I could  get by with the LR4 book if I won a copy.  Hmmm – not usually that lucky though.  Sigh …..

  44. Wild About Animals- A Photo Painting Safari would be a wonderful addition to all the tutorials I have engaged in here!  I would love to win them!

  45. London!!!  That would be so fun and educational!!  But the LR4 in LA or the DVD/books would be great too!  Or another year of NAPP…always good to learn more!!!

  59. (1) Link in the “Lightroom 4 for digital photographers” doesn’t seem to work.  I get a blank page.  Here’ the URL from the link: http://progressive.kelbymediagroup.com/scottkelby/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Lightroom4ForDP_Chapter3.pdf

    (2) Please sign me up for something free and something that goes whee.

    :-)

  61. Ah hah!  Found the error; html is pointing at a blank target.  Check out this code in your page: 
    href=”http://progressive.kelbymediagroup.com/scottkelby/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Lightroom4ForDP_Chapter3.pdf” target=”_blank”>here

    1. Actually it appears to be an Internet Explorer vs Chrome browser issue.  But I get the feeling that no one but me actually clicked the link so I will just keep monologuing here to see if anyone ever notices this scintillating thread happening all the way down here.

  62. Count me in for the LR4 book! I’ve bought the LR3 book in the past and read it about 3 times! Great workflow! Can’t wait to put my hands on the new one!

  63. I use the LR3 book constantly as a reference source and will do the same with the LR4 book when released.  Love your live seminars, great info and well presented, I always walk away from them with new ideas and having vendors there also is a nice way to interface with them too.  I’m happy to buy a tix but, if it’s a free fix for LA…that’s even better.  

  97. How does one sign up for this free stuff?? Anyway I would love Lightroom 4 DVD, book… :) 
    Thanks for this great info and your books! 
    I keep the Digital collection by my bed :) 

  98. Winning the free ticket to Matt’s Lightroom 4 Tour would be great.  Maybe by then I could learn how to properly and fluently pronounce “Kloskowski”.
