Hey Neil.
Here's the info from his site.

Optimizing the Possibilities gives creative and technical information that shows beginners what is possible and adds many new techniques for advanced photographers. The program covers macro, wildlife, and landscape photography.

The Desktop Digital Darkroom shows you how computers can be used to improve traditional photography. Prints from inkjet printers will be on display and software programs that make digital photography easy and fun will be demonstrated. The cost of the digital darkroom has come down to the point where it is competitive with a wet darkroom. The digital darkroom is just as much fun, and it offers more creative control. Let us show you the possibilities!

From the description Day 2 doesn't sound as great as it was. I was considering only attending Day 1 but then decided to do both days. I'm very glad I did. I'd say I'm pretty good with PhotoShop (been using it for about 5 years now) but the seminar was very good and I learned some cool stuff from it. Besides, his pictures are gorgeous and I could just sit and look at them all day. :-)
I especially liked his comparison pictures, which he had a ton of. He showed us lots of before and afters. Different effects with different lenses, focal lengths, teleconvertors, exposures...before and after with mirror lock-up. Just tons of information in those two days. It was just great.
