Our first two sessions at the Power Mac Center are done, great attendance, great participants and some cool images processed in Aperture 2.
Shooting around Greenbelt and later processing the images in Aperture 2 an introduction into Aperture at the Power Mac Center, the first group from 1pm until 5 pm was lucky with the weather. However the second Group from 5 p.m. until 8 pm had to deal with tropical rain and darkness, a challenge which in my opinion was well executed.

I like to thank all participants from today, for a job, well done, special thanks to Melvin Tosino, Andrew and E.J. from the Power Mac Centers technical staff who assisted me during these long hours.
Thanks to Mark-Lee Deichmann for helping out and Hermes Singson for shooting behind the scenes, plus to all the staff and Management from

New plug-ins from Nic software for
Aperture 2.1 next month...and how they can be useful for our underwater photographers in the feature...Apple made it possible with the release of Aperture 2.1

T
he 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.

Sam's Tours has just been featured recently in the Scuba Diving Magazine online Bottoms Time, see the screenshot below.

Late breaking News...fixed a small glitch on our Blog re. reviving old slides and rough scans in Aperture 2

We have had a slight glitch with my latest Blog… we encountered a broken link...but that is fixed now.

The title of the effected blog was...
Aperture 2 or now 2.01 the rescue of a 25-year-old Dolphin in Australia before leaving for the F1 Grand Prix in Malaysia.
Two images did not upload at first, please check or refresh your system the problem has been fixed!
This particular blog addresses an issue almost forgotten today; what about the older generation of photographers who have a ton of slides or digitized images stored in their archives and shelves.
Aperture 2 can take care of these too…in other words a complete system.
You get a very good idea what
Aperture 2 can do with old and almost forgotten slides or scans. Read the blog below and compare the images, the ones which where missing before. Sorry if this has caused any inconvenience.
For all the details and how to revive old rough scans from way back go to my main Blog @ http://www.deichmann-photo.com/blog.html

The incredible rescue of an Australian Sea Lion underwater with Aperture 2... who kissed the Dome Port...but not the photographer.

Late breaking NEWS from Japan…
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.

Applied correction
Exposure -.50
Recovery +.40
Black point decrease from 3.00 to 1.00
Shadows 12.7

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 @
http://www.tonywublog.com/

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.

An endangered animal or plant is a species that is considered in immediate danger of becoming extinct. Its population is very small and it needs active protection to survive. In many countries, hunting of endangered animals is not allowed. Neither is importation of their meat, fur, tusks, blubber, or other products.

Extinction has happened throughout history, but in modern times the rate has increased dramatically. There is a link between the increase in the extinction rate and the growth in human population. The worldwide human population was 1 billion in 1600, 1.5 billion 100 years ago, and is over 6 billion today. At the same time, the species extinction rate has increased to one species a day. If this continues, it will cause a dramatic drop in the diversity of life on our planet, which will most certainly have serious effects.
If you have any interesting images related to the environment or stories to tell, please let me know and I try to incorporate these in my Blogs, thank you.

A important lens for the Photographer needs “repair.”

03 the Eye
© Gunther Deichmann, November 2007

A true "repair" story about the real lens
and how to fix it.



What is the most important lens for a photographer? The Eye.
Yes, you have heard right, it is our very own Eye that is more important than any other optical piece of glass.
We are only to eager roaming the camera shops to purchase a new lens for our camera and without any hesitation pull out the credit card and smile at the newly purchased piece of glass,
wow now I can take even better images. Are you sure?

But when it comes to our own lens the Eye and it needs work done or even surgery, we all say WOW that is expensive, we try to cut corners and save money, working on discounts etc., etc….

Why? I guess it is human nature, taking it all for granted, I mean our Eyes.
The old saying goes
”through the lens of …” I be live it should say “through the eyes of …, I have mention this many times before, it is the eyes which see the subject first and not the lens, without the eyes and of course our soul we cant create this magic image in the first place, Right.

I guess it is in all of us, like children with a new toy having just bought that new Camera, Lens or the latest software, how can we make adjustments or even looking at our images on the Computer if our eyes have a problem.

But now I get to the point: I recently discovered that I had a blurry vision on my right eye (lucky not my shooting eye) I got concerned and rushed for a check up.
Sure enough I had
Cataract on my right eye, oh boy, I thought what next….?
I done some research and got a few opinions, well the end result was surgery, hey that was yesterday and now I am typing this Blog, now that is pretty cool and my keyboard looks so clear now.

Without going into to many details my vision is fantastic again, with the camera and on the Computer and I mean real fantastic, OK I have to take some medication for a week or so, have one or two more check ups but that is about it, technology is out there and it is real good, not that cheap but for the first time in my life I bought the very best lens and I can see my old friends again clearly, he he.

The surgery took only 20 minutes and was absolutely painless and I mean painless,
Cataract is a different procedure than eye correction with laser, please read below some more details.
So there you have it, before you go shopping for a new lens, get your eyes checked and if you need to go through the Cataract Surgery don’t complain about the cost, (some of my lenses are a lot more expensive) remember
Your Eyes are your biggest assets and not only in Photography.
The procedures will not necessary eliminate the use of eyeglasses, in my case I still need them for reading but the rest of my vision is back to normal or even better.

Remember one of my very first sentences in this article:
The old saying goes …
”through the lens of …” I believe it should say “through the eyes of …”, maybe some of the writers on photography should be rephrasing the old saying, it is not the camera or the lens, it is You and Your Eyes, the hardware and software are only tools and not the creator, the painter uses his brush and Canvas as a tool, he or us photographers have to see it first before we can record it.
Personally I like to see more articles written which are related to our Eyes, vision and the procedure in fixing some of the more common problems.
Oh , I almost forgot, thanks to Doctor Espiritu for taken good care of my most important lens.
GD


What is a Cataract?

The transparent human lens, like the lens of a camera, focuses light rays onto the retina (camera “film"). A cataract is any opacity or discoloration of the normally clear lens that interferes with light transmission through the eye. It can be compared to a window that is frosted, steamed or yellowed.

There are many misconceptions about cataracts. It is not a film over the eye nor is it caused by overusing the eyes. It is not a cancer and does not spread from one eye to the other. It does not cause irreversible blindness.

What causes Cataracts? How does one get them?

Most cataracts develop as part of the aging process. Everybody will eventually develop cataracts if people lived long enough. The pace of progression varies from individual to individual and is influenced by environmental factors such as long term exposure to UV rays. Other causes of cataract include certain medical conditions like diabetes, or intake of certain drugs like to steroids. There are congenital and juvenile cataracts. Infections, inflammations and injuries can likewise cause cataracts.

When is the best time for surgery? Do I have to wait for my cataracts to “ripen”?

Different people have different visual needs. The mere presence of a cataract does not automatically mean it requires surgical intervention. Surgery should only be done when patient lifestyles are altered because of the decline in vision related to the cataract. For example, one cannot see well enough to cook, read, drive, work or watch television despite the best prescription eyeglass or contact lenses possible. Once the cataract is significant enough to interfere with one’s activities, regardless whether it is already “ripe” or not, then one may be a candidate for cataract surgery. With the advent of modern day techniques of cataract surgery, more and more cataracts are being operated on in their early stages.
