All Photos above by Hermes Singson, by the way Luis is the one in the dark maroon/blue shirt Congratulation to Luis Martin Harder one of my students from the Cambodian GDPhotoWorkshop last year&hellip;he really went out his way and show cased his very first Exhibition on the 13th of May in Manila.  Since Cambodia he has done real well, more than 30 images from Cambodia and the Philippines are on display, very impressive work I might add and I am very proud of him.

A good and mixed crowed attended the opening night at the One Workshop Gallery including other familiar faces like good old Bebet Gaudinez (I am just waiting to see his Exhibition) and Jasmine Manabat who also attended my PhotoWorkshop last year, almost like a &ldquo;little reunion&rdquo;.

Photographers like Wig Tysman, Tilak Hettig, George Tapan and many other personalities including Henry Bateman Artist/Writer showed up to give Luis the credit he deserves, of course the host Photographer Master printer and Artist Ross Capilli and his wife made sure everybody had enough to drink and eat.  Thanks Ross.

Congratulations again to Luis Harder for a great show and super cool images&hellip; You might remember from one of my earlier blogs&hellip;he was the one who received the Aperture software, (which was sponsored by the Power Mac Center in Makati) during our Cambodian GDPhotoWorkshop, see the image below in case you have forgotten.  Thanks for inviting me and being part of your show, keep up the good work Luis.  GD]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>PHOTO WORKSHOPS IN MICRONESIA?

WELCOME TO THE PEARLS OF THE PACIFIC ...one of Natures best kept secrets.

&copy; Gunther Deichmann - special thanks to Palau Helicopters and Matt the Pilot, view at the 70 islands.  Click on the Images and go to our completed Photo Gallery on Palau http://www.palautours.com/gallery.html

The official launch of the PALAU TOURS Website&hellip; some more fine tuning has to be done and a few glitches have to be ironed out, however our Blog is out to keep you posted and informed around the clock.

The Palau Tours website is totally independent and neutral, conceived more than 12 month ago with the aim in providing YOU up to date information on Palau and Micronesia.  Information on the Environment, Hotels, Resorts, Diving, Tours, Shopping and much more.  Soon we provide you with a complete list of Establishments, Government Services and local Operators.

&copy; Gunther Deichmann - Palau Pacific Resort, PPR, Your place in Palau.  http://www.palautours.com/gallery.html

At present we are going through our test phase and work around the clock improving the site as we go&hellip; The site will also be in different languages once the English part is all finalized and has been approved by the management.  Our aim is to show YOU Palau like you have never seen it before, not only with stunning images but also with good and informative text, so that when you arrive in Palau you are all set to go, be it under or above the waves.

We are AWARE of Palau&rsquo;s fragile Environment and support the Palau Conservation Society for it&rsquo;s never ending efforts in preserving Palau&rsquo;s natural resources.

The interesting part for all these new plug- ins will be for our underwater photographers in due time...some of whom still using Photoshop to tweak some colors which can be difficult for underwater landscapes.  Remember when I set up the Digital Photo Center for Sam's Tours in Palau, (check the previous blogs for details) I have heard only yesterday that everything is running very smooth.  The Wi-Fi connections we installed running cool, not to mention the iMac upgrades and training of the staff on Leopard and Aperture, I guess all of this would not have been possible without the investment from Sam Scott and the incredible input and advise from Dermot Keane the GM at Sam's Tours....  Click on the image and go direct to the Digital Photo Center Press release from the Scuba Diving magazine: ALL - NEW DIGITAL PHOTO CENTER AT SAM'S TOURS IN PALAU

Sam's Tours' all new Digital Photo Center is fully equipped to cater to digital photographers of all interest levels, from those with handy point-and-shoot cameras to the most demanding digital photographers shooting in RAW format.  Their six top-of-the-line Apple iMac workstations are loaded with terabytes and terabytes of storage, archiving and secure data backup systems, lots of RAM, and completely optimized for digital imaging with Apple Aperture 2 image management software, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Bridge, Toast, and topped off with DSL Wi-Fi internet access.

...Other camera-friendly improvements include an expanded "dry zone" for Camera Preparation and Charging and a new Camera Drying Station complete with towels and compressed air for post-rinsing camera care.

...Actually a lot...more capabilities on one system soon...I guess to go with the iMacs and Aperture at Sam's Tours was the right decision, check it out the next time you in Palau and dont forget your Camera for these incredible shots above and below the waves.

...Nic software has just announced the availability of one of the first Plug -ins for Aperture 2.1 in May 2008.  For those of you who are interested in all these new plug ins stay tuned as soon more become available I be announcing them.  Exciting times ahead for some of you, soon you be able to stay even longer in Aperture 2.1 without switching back and forth or open Photoshop.  Click on the images below for a direct link to Nic software and a detail description of their products.

...Available in May, 2008, Viveza will also be compatible with Apple Aperture 2 to enable direct on-image editing, with the most powerful and precise tool available to selectively control light and color in photographic images.  For the first time, corrections and enhancements can be made quickly and easily without the need to create complicated selections or layer masks, providing selective editing control within Aperture.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Late News...Aperture World Tour... in Asia&#x2c;  Singapore-Hong Kong-Taiwan &#x26; India 2008</title><dc:creator>gdeichmann@mac.com</dc:creator><category>Aperture 2</category><dc:date>2008-03-19T22:32:16+08:00</dc:date><link>http://www.gdphotoworkshop.com/files/8b429e6b071e2e3844a7c00746636577-49.html#unique-entry-id-49</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.gdphotoworkshop.com/files/8b429e6b071e2e3844a7c00746636577-49.html#unique-entry-id-49</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Aperture World Tour 2008 Countries and Dates  Singapore March 12 - Hong Kong March 20 - Taiwan March 27 - India (Mumbai) April 1  Join the Tour
