I would jump at the chance to do an all day workshop in San Francisco. Hopefully will see you soon. Regards, Richard Hi Neil,

I missed your San Francisco workshops, do you think you’ll be back any time soon? I would jump at the chance to do an all day workshop in San Francisco. Hopefully will see you soon.

I did try out the <a href="http://neilvn.com/tangents/2009/04/14/review-pocketwizard-minitt1-flextt5/">mini TT1 and Flex TT5 units</a> when they were released, but I wasn't too impressed. Perhaps things have been improved since then. Neil vN</blockquote>

You're the best $500 one could ever spend (on training). Are you going to use or demo FlexTT5's from Canon. I've been using them of late and still getting use to them but I love the radio ETTL. The funny thing I didn't realize was I went beyond the 250 synch speed on my canon 5d and it automatically took care of HSS. No extra buttons, no functions it just worked! But since your the mentor of many of us, please take up the TT5 and make us better. Kind regards, Neil, love your work. You’re the best $500 one could ever spend (on training).

The models were great...both girls worked so hard in less than perfect conditions....my hat is off to them.... Your assistants were great....your investment in your workshop was obvious....we each had our own "pocket wizards" to use....we each got our very own "black foamie thing" too courtesy of you.... Don't want to say too much more because i am afraid when I go to sign up for next May there will not be any openings....I am seriously considering contacting you at some point for some personal tutoring...just to nail some of the concepts.... To everyone who has not bought Neil's first book...."what are you waiting for?..." It is a MUST read.....and finally I can't wait for your second book in early 2011. Neil....again thanks for everything...the workshop was truly money well spent...$500 for about 11 hours of teaching....Anthony PS...a LOL moment due to my stupidity....when we all went outside to take pictures as it was getting dark....the lighting was perfect...we had the building to bounce our flash off of...the model was perfect....and what did I inadvertantly do...I switched from "RAW FINE" to "JPEG BASIC"....silly me!!!!!!!!!

I would recommend it to anyone. I learned so much, it was worth every penny! I thought I'd share a couple shots from the workshop. (hopefully this lets me post them) http://tinypic.com/r/fjf1p3/3 http://tinypic.com/r/1oq8gn/3 Hi Neil,
