Comments on: David Ziser's Digital Wake-up Call Seminar http://lightroomkillertips.com/2009/david-zisers-digital-wake-up-call-seminar/ Online Photoshop Lightroom Tutorials and Tips with Matt Kloskowski Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:11:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dianne http://lightroomkillertips.com/2009/david-zisers-digital-wake-up-call-seminar/#comment-8176 Dianne Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:52:50 +0000 http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/?p=1305#comment-8176 I attended David Ziser's tour in San Diego, CA, in May of 2009. I am not a wedding photographer, but found that the fast pace and many good tips were well worth the $60 and 4 hours. I agree that the "goodie-bag" left something to be desired if you weren't a wedding or sports team /classroom photog. Interestingly, I purchased the software package as it was just the kind of thing I needed, but didn't know exactly where to find. Any new software package will have a learning curve and this one is no different. I've used it a lot, have found it relatively easy to pick up, love all the things it can do, and believe that the add'l materials that David adds to it are fairly priced. The add-ons are produced in his studio and save time for the new user. Hard for me to understand why someone would be upset about where or how the CD was produced -- it's the material you're after. This seminar worked for me this time. I attended David Ziser’s tour in San Diego, CA, in May of 2009.

I was disappointed that he did not cover the Lightroom section that was advertised in the tour. However, a major portion of his time was spent on product promotions (mainly the folks that sponsor his tours). Sorry, it did not work for me!!

I tried to use one of the "coupons" in the goodie-bag ($100) but was told I couldn't since it was for "new" customers only; I was an "existing" customer. I try to go to seminars to learn something new not to listen how great products are that they are pushing. I made the mistake of buying the software package for $500 and feel it was a complete waste of my money. It isn't as easy to use as it was lead to believe. Plus it looks like they just burned a bunch of cd's at home and put them in jewel cases. I wish they would stand by the product and offer to take this worthless software back.

I attended the Denver seminar recently. David is a wealth of knowledge, and I appreciated his tips and explanations. Unfortunately, I thought the 4-hours was laced with an over-dose of pumping up his sponsers, and silly unrelated egotistical anecdotes. The other thing I resented was the *goodie-bag* which was touted as containing lots of *valuable items*. This was again just thinly veiled advertising. Nothing in fact was given away, but rather discounts were offered if you bought this or signed up for that. Everything was contingent on you becoming someone's customer. Sorry, you guys can rave all you want, I'll stick to the Kelby Seminars. Well-this comment probably wont see the light of day because it is not a rave review. I attended the Denver seminar recently.

Just went to David's seminar in Ft. Lauderdale on the April 3rd, too. My wife and I really enjoyed David's class... a lot. He mentioned you and Scott being in attendance at his Tampa seminar. This is a truly a seminar that everyone needs to attend. It moves at lightening speeds. Far more free "$" items than the cost of admission. And top notch door prizes from top photography vendors. Interestingly enough the door prizes ADD to the enormous amount of information that David gives. (My wife and I brought jackets and food to snack on. We've been to a few other seminars and wanted to be prepared. LOL.) Stay young, Michael Hey Matt!
