Everything You Always Wanted to Know About X, But Were Afraid to Ask
UPDATE: The workshop on June 14 is currently sold out, but there’s an active waiting list on Eventbrite. Please make use of it in order to be informed about free slots and additional dates. The next workshop will be in Heidelberg on June 28, with the possibility to do a second one on June 29.
Since his first workshop on June 7 sold out in less than a day, our resident “X-Pert” Rico Pfirstinger is offering another Fuji X Secrets workshop in Nuremberg on June 14. Registration is now open, just click here. Once again, there’s a limit of seven delegates, so if you live in or around Germany, don’t waste too much time in order to avoid joining the waiting list.
Following the Reloaded workshop in Nuremberg, there are plans to bring Fuji X Secrets to Heidelberg. Rico has reached out to his German publisher dpunkt.verlag, who kindly offered their offices as a workshop location. We will get back to you once a firm date for this event has been fixed.
Since many of you don’t reside in Germany, there are also plans to offer a workshop in Santa Barbara, CA for our US based readers. Rico is in contact with his American publisher rocky nook. The US workshop is supposed to happen in early December.
We will keep you posted on any further developments. Speaking of: Rico has just finished the German manuscript of his new e-book “Die Fujifilm X-E2 – 100 Profitipps” and is about to start the English translation (“The Fujifilm X-E2 – Beyond the Manual”). He will also produce an e-book on the X-T1.

If I was you who lives nearby, I would not blink. Rico’s reviews and photos speak for himself. $150 is dirt cheap however you think of it. Take advantage !
FYI, I once paid $US1,000 for a 2-day portrait workshop in US. Did I feel bad? Not at all. You need to learn from a master to advance your skills.
Berlin? Hamburg? I’m sure all the northerners would be happy to share travelling costs for Rico..
Heidelberg would be good. There seems to be a surprising number of FujiX enthusiasts in Stuttgart.
Is it in English or German?
Great news for the X-E2 e-book! I am definitely waiting for the English version.
Honestly, there’s not that many features on these cameras. How hard could it be to learn it once you’ve already learned photography in general? I guess that’s how these photogs are making their money these days. Workshops, workshops, workshops. Now, if they’re teaching you specific photography skills a person is interested in learning, that’s another story. But I think myself and others are more than capable of learning the actual camera on our own 🙂
One who thinks he knows everything. He could spend $5000 for the gear and expect to get great images but never actually shoot anything good. He always whine about sth that doesn’t work, pixel-peep on any picture which has no value. He cannot spend $100 for a workshop, lol!
Who are you talking about? 😉 I’m happy where I am photographically. I’m not interested in workshops. Depending on the content, it could be good for certain people…but if it’s solely related to learning the X series cameras…well, they’re just cameras. If one already knows photography, it would be easy to pick up a Fuji camera and use it. Anyway, I guess you’re not talking about me because I’m not one of those people that cry about the gear every day.
The second workshop in 14JUN in Nürnberg sold out between 2 AM and 8 AM local German time, but there’s now an active waitlist on Eventbrite. Please make use of it in order to be informed about free slots and additional dates. The next workshop will be in Heidelberg on 28JUN, with the possibility to do another one on 29JUN in case the one on 28JUN sells-out, too.
Rico, in what way will your Santa Barbara seminar(s) be announced? Clearly, if one wants to attend, one must sign up right when registration opens.
It will be announced on the Fuji X Secrets website and here on Fujirumors and in the usual X forums. If demand is high, I will hopefully be able to offer additional dates. I could imagine a maximum of 4 dates on the last weekend in November and the first weekend in December. Maybe another one on the second December weekend.
Great news Patrick!
