Good Afternoon Everybody,Today is the BIG day - my first ever Webinar Wednesday! We have almost 600 people from around the world registered and who will be "giving a listen" in just about an hour. Here is the link one more time to register.
I'm going to open the "Webinar doors" about 30 minutes before the start of the program so that everyone has plenty of time to check in. I'll also have Damien waiting in the wings with any technical issues that may arise.I would love to get your feed back on the program. Why not just post them to the "Comments" section of this post - it would be much appreciated. Your feedback will help us fine tune the process for the next time around.
On that note, gang, I'm out of here to get the last minute details organized. I"ll get back to our regular programing next week. I hope everyone attending enjoys the show.
See you soon, -David
p.s. Yesterday's Panorama Tutorial video is now "live". Sorry for the delay. -David
Thanks David - it was great to hear you talk about these subjects, and I would love to see more of them.

David,
ReplyDeleteThis was a great addition to your digital wake-up call! Thanks for all you do to help others learn!
Thank you for the EXCELLENT presentation. Enjoyed it all and got some great tips!
ReplyDeleteWatched entire Webinar. Very informative and kept me interested the entire time. The sound and slideshow was perfect. Great job & Thank you for putting this together and sharing your knowledge and energy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful webinar.
ReplyDeleteHi David:
ReplyDeleteMade a mistake on the timing and only caught the last half hour. Are you going to post a link to a recorded version of the webinar?
Thanks
Thank you so much, David! I am just getting my feet wet in the wedding photography world and I found the presentation invaluable. Great information all around!
ReplyDeleteVery enjoyable and good quality. Thanks for the invitation. Robert Watcher
ReplyDeleteI thought the webinar went great for the first time out of the box! I don't think most subjects can ever be covered in an hour if you are going to open it up for questions, so you should plan for that. Sound quality and images looked great - no problems. Several typos in the slides - should probably be proofed more. The security certificate for the site was out of date and caused problems in the beginning (not your fault). But, I'm glad I listened - I learned some new things!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot David for the seminar. Excellent audio quality, no problems with the connection at all and a great timing (it started at 8pm here in Denmark). I hope to see some more seminar soon. Jiri
ReplyDeleteThank your for the time and effort you put into the presentation. It was excellent! How many people attended?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the Webinar! I found it very informative -- and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the informative webinar David. The video and audio quality was great.
ReplyDeleteDavid, thank you so much for sharing so openly and generously with us all. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I loved the webinar!
ReplyDeleteI drove through Cincinatti on Monday and felt like looking you up. I feel like were old friends just from reading DigitalProTalk all the time. of course, your life would be insane if all your readers wanted to drop by! (Don't worry, I didnt.)
Best Regards, Kelly Newport
David, your webinar was excellent! Thanks so much for the information. I will be able to put it to use as soon as this weekend! John Potter
ReplyDeleteNice job.
ReplyDeletePaul Johnson - UK: It worked great here in the UK David, you were crystal clear. It worked brilliantly. Great webinar highly informative and inspirational as usual. Maybe you could bring your Digital Wake Up Call Tour to the UK by webinar ? It would be great to see you here in person though.
ReplyDeleteA big thank you.
David, thank you so very much for taking the time/trouble to set this up. Worked great here in Australia. Worth getting up out of bed for the 4:00 AM start time here. I am sure you will set up more of these after you read all the responses that will surely come in today....... Curt Hakl, Townsville, Queensland - Australia ( on the Coral Sea / Great Barrier Reef )
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteThank You. I always learn something from your work. Your series at Kelbytraining.com have been a great help to me. I look forward to your visit to the Detroit area in September.

I really enjoyed the webinar, David. Thank-you! The software took a bit longer to load/get going on my computer than I expected (it took about 15 mins.) and I had a bit of trouble with the sound cutting out- but nothing that kept me from understanding or enjoying it very much. I can't wait for the next one!
ReplyDeleteThanks again.

David, the webinar was great with absolutely no problems. Audio and video were all great. Thanks so much for sharing everything with us. What can I say? Love your blog, loved both of your tours that I've attended (this new one and one in 2006) and loved the Wedding Photo shoot with you at Photoshop World.
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteThank you! Good information, as usual! I must agree with you about the reception etiquette and eating at a reception. I would always thank the bride or mother and let them know that I didn't want to miss a photo opportunity that might come up. Worked every time! I look forward to the next production.
Thanks again!
Great webinar!
ReplyDeleteWill it be available to view at another time?
-Thanks!
thanks david.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great webinar. Thanks for sharing all the information you do!
ReplyDeleteOne suggestion is to record it so it can be played later like a podcast if one is unable to make it due to to scheduling.
Logging in was quick and smooth. The webinar itself worked well; just the occasional break in audio but I never got the impression I missed a point being expressed. Thanks for your time, effort and expertise!

Thank you for a very informative webinar. I do have one suggestion. Would it be possible to capture the webinar in a video that can be published to You Tube? There was so much good information, it would be great to be able to go back and watch it over again.
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteAwesome. A great supplement to the Digital Wake Up Call seminar!
A lot of Real info - no BS just the real stuff from someone that knows what they're doing.
Thanks! PLease do more!

Thanks David from a former 'master class' member when you were first working with ProShots at your place in April about 8 years ago. The image of the BG on the hill overlooking Cincinnati I was there when you made it! As someone who is trying to make this fulltime (now that I my day job was eliminated)... you certainly picked up my spirits and made my day!!!
ReplyDeletePeter Durk, Spain.
ReplyDeleteGreat session, thanks for your time and efforts. Webinar worked pretty well; audio wobbled a couple of times but not serious enough to spoil the show. Once again, enjoyed it very much and look forward to the next one.
Peter, Alicante
Thanks David! No problems logging in in San Jose, CA. The program was terrific. Well organized with a tremendous amount of information. I took many pages of notes. I so look forward to your upcoming book.
ReplyDeletethanks a lot for this great 90 minutes of great information and amazing ideas.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it very much.
Greetings from Germany

Can you please post the webinar (transcript of audio/video) to your site please?
ReplyDeleteGreat webinar, with lots of helpful information. Your images are beautiful and it was helpful to learn the technique behind the images. Would also like to see some behind the scene images and images of your gear. I am such a visual person, it helps to put things in context. Especially the radio trigger on your flash set up.
ReplyDeleteSound and everything was great. I attended your Master class in April 2008 and really needed the reinforcement of everything learned then from this webinar. Thank you! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the helpful info, as always! The audio was distorted at first, but then got better.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the webinar very much. Hearing about your real world experience was invaluable. You have a great way of simplifying your techniques to produce such great results. I also enjoy your Kelby Training videos very much. Thanks for sharing your hard earned knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI could not get the volume to turn up enough to hear very well, but what I did hear was good information.
ReplyDeleteSuggestions for future -
Have an assistant that can read through questions and pick out some to answer.
In the blog post for the day add links to all the websites and previous posts you reference in the Webinar.
Thanks for sharing the information in yourWebinar and in your daily blogs!
David,
ReplyDeleteGreat webinar!! I can't wait for your Digital wakeup call here in Grand Rapids. Will you have a recording of today's webinar that we can download?
Thanks
Jeff
Thanks David, great webinar! You were very thorough
ReplyDelete(as always) and covered the subject matter very well.
It was good to hear you answer live questions.
David,
ReplyDeleteThe webinar was GREAT. audio and video quality were far better than i had anticipated. Matter of fact the video was so clean that i could easily read the address's you were reading off in your browser.
Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this and everything else for that matter. I dont know how you do it all.... your like a machine.
We'll see you in vegas for the digital wake up call.
Tim
David,
ReplyDeleteA terrific webinar! I enjoyed every minute of it. I appreciate your detailed yet simple explanations of lighting and other matters relating to wedding photography. I also appreciate and agree with your thoughts on dress for wedding photography. I have seen too many weddings and presentations where the photographer was too casual for a classy wedding.
Great job and I am sure we all appreciate the time you take to help others. I am amazed at the willingness of photographers to help each other.
Mike
Great job David, great content as always, I also had a little trouble getting the audio volume loud enough but it was ok. Looking forward to DWC in Birmingham in November.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning
ReplyDeleteJust a quick note to say the effort and presentation that you and your crew put into this webinar was excellent. the reception,pictures etc was perfect here in Spain.I look forward to joining in on more if you ever find the time:)...
Maybe you could include some photos from listeners on "where" they went wrong" for a future show?
Kind regards
James

Thanks David for your enthusiasm and inspiration. Good clear quality received here in Newcastle Australia (about 100 miles north of Sydney).
ReplyDeleteThanks for picking and answering my question!!
David, The Webinar was fantastic. You are a great teacher and I'm very thankful that you give so much back to the worldwide community of photographers.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
David Wilkinson

David, Great presentation as usual. I have been following your postings etc. since attending your Master Class a couple of years ago. You are a great teacher. You have boosted my skill as a photographer as well as running a studio. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThanks again,
Bob
I was at work during the webinar and I missed it! Is there any way that you could post it for the rest of us who couldn't make it to watch? We wouldn't get the interaction, but I still think it would be beneficial. Thanks!
ReplyDeletean excellent seminar, great content, nicely managed, clear presentation. Earlier this year I attended one of your Digital ake-up Call seminars and this helped to continue what you presented
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for doing this.
David, Great presentation. As usual another quality presentation. I attended your Master Class last year, and recently attended your Cincinnati Digital Wake Up Tour and as usual the time was well spent. Thanks again for all you do to spread quality photographic knowledge. Each time I listen to you I am impressed and feel that the money and time invested was worth it.
ReplyDeleteChuck Crookshanks
Enjoyed the webinar very much, David. It would be interesting to find out if your on-camera flash is pointed toward your subject (direct flash) or if you are modifying it any.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you on your tour.
Please do more of these. I think anyone who reads your blog would be happy to attend.
David, well done on the webinar, thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteInformative. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. You do an amazing job of putting together very helpful 'tutorials'. I love this webinar format and hope to see more.
ReplyDeleteDavid, I registered but due to firewalls (I guess), I couldn't get to the live meeting. I did try. I look forward to the replay if it becomes available. Thanks. Wendy
ReplyDeleteI had a commitment at the time when the webinar happened. Would it be possible to post it for viewing after the fact?
