The incredible rescue of an Australian Sea Lion underwater with Aperture 2... who kissed the Dome Port...but not the photographer.
the incredible rescue of an Australian Sea Lion underwater with Aperture 2... who kissed the Dome Port...but not the photographer.
Another Wow… and vote for Aperture 2 from Japan…from Australia to Japan to who knows where next?
I had a very long chat today on skype with my good friend and top under water photographer Tony Wu. Yes, you guessed right an Aperture user; the only problem is he now blames me for the introduction, but I don’t mind taking the blame for that.
If Tony blames me for Aperture then I blame him for the Blog, it was him who introduced me some years ago to this Blog stuff.
I just returned the favor and introduced him to Aperture…now we both have very little time left for our wife’s…hmm…or more in time to come.
We been chatting away on skype and talked about Aperture 2, Tony has just installed it on his Mac and I gave him a few tips online.
When we got to the details his exact words where… I just love the recovery tool for blown out highlights etc., etc. that one is so awesome in particular for underwater photographers, hey Tony… please send me some images for comparison, so he did of the Australian Sea Lion who just about kissed his Dome port on his underwater housing from one of his recent trips.
See below the before and after images and you might remember from my previous blog with the Ferrari and BMW about this new and fantastic feature in Aperture 2.
He was very impressed…not only by this new feature; yes he did some laps and was full of praise with the new speed and efficiency.

I also
mention to him during our skype call the new
All Projects button,
ha, ha… he tried it out while we where still online,
he just couldn’t wait... after I had explained the
function and how to use it, all I can hear
was…
Wow… wow… that is really awesome… if
I had know this last night I could have saved my self
a lot of time looking for some images during a small
presentation.
There you have it straight from Japan, from one of
the very best underwater photographer in Asia and
beyond.
Check out some of Tony’s underwater images @

I said all along from fossils to BMW, Ferrari’s and
marine life,
Aperture 2 can
handle all of it and a lot more… I guess this is
another vote for
Aperture 2
and this
time from Japan.
Thanks
Tony, for sharing this with
us.
