Aperture 3:Travel Photography...Tip for Places, use your iPhone or your Digital Camera with a GPS
Recent
visited places from Mindoro Isl., Puerto Galera, City
of Batangas, Makati and Manila shown as Satellite Map
If
you're not using a Digital Camera with a GPS function
that is Ok. just use your iPhone and whenever you
stop or from the Car window take a quick shot. Later
import the photos from your iPhone into Aperture 3
activate Places and the rest is easy. I be writing a
lot more about this cool addition from the road.
Click on the
Places icon at
the upper right hand side at the toolbar to get you
started.
Recent
visited places in Makati and Manila shown as Road Map
10
days ago I went to the Island of Mindoro/Puerto
Galera and I took some happy snaps with the iPhone,
then on the way back I also stopped in Batangas and
then back to Manila. Of course there have been some
gaps where I didn't stop to get some images but all
the rest had been recorded, very accurate I might
add, see the attached screenshots. Map options
are
Satellite - Road or Terrain.
Ok the only "drawback" is that my wife from now on
always knows where I am or I have been, ha, ha. but
that is fine with me too, nothing to hide.

To
activate your Places before they work you have to go
first to the Aperture 3 Preferences settings and
activate it, then click on the Advanced setting a
small drop down menu appears and you see Look up
Places, the default setting is on Never just click on
the Automatically and you're done.
Again an excellent new addition to Aperture 3 and as
you can see I am getting fine tuned for my big trip
starting next week.

Cool companion for your iPhone, iPod or your Mac, the X-mini a speaker system for your travel.
I have tested this little device called the X-mini 2nd Generation Audio Revolution.
A very nifty small speaker system, it packs a lot of punch for its size, connect it to your iPhone, iPod or to your laptop.
What is so cool (looks even better) it has great sound quality for its size, making it the perfect travel companion.
This one fits in your pocket and I use it on my
iPhone to show clients and friends presentations or
videos, lets be honest a presentation with good
sound/music is so much nicer and you don't have to
pass the earphone around anymore.
Don’t know yet its availability outside Asia, but you
can get it for about US$ 34.00 at Power Mac Center in
Manila and of course in
Singapore where it is manufactured.
I was amazed by the output, a perfect companion when
you travel or like to listen to your favorite music
in your Hotel Room.
Another cool feature…you can hook up more than one
unit and fill the room with your favorite music from
your iPhone or iPod
I am thinking to try out the X-mini on my next flight
inside the aircraft… but on second thoughts I better
not, they might throw me off the plane for playing my
music to loud.

Journey Through Color & Sounds…India ”cooking” with Aperture 2, GarageBand, iPhone & FotoMagico 3 Pro
I was in
the mood last night… for "cooking,"
using only a few ingredients to create a nice
meal.
Check out the final meal in YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBdyMR8fq0s&feature=channel
Recipe & Ingredients
Main Ingredients; the Images from India &
original audio recording.
MacBook Pro
iPhone with iTalk app. installed
Aperture 2 ( 2.1.4)
GarageBand from iLife ’09
FotoMagico 3 Pro (Version 3.0.8)
Good Internet connection
Just follow these simple steps…after editing the
images in Aperture 2
make sure you
filed them in their Albums or Smart Albums for
easy access in FotoMagico later via the nice build
in Media Browser.
Like with any good cooking it is important you have
everything well prepared before you start.
I prepared the soundtrack earlier in GarageBand using
the original recorded audio on my iPhone from India,
mixing it plus adding some instruments. I use
iTalk together with iTalk
Sync from Griffin an excellent
application for the iPhone.
You record with iTalk and later transfer the audio
file wireless to your Mac with the installed iTalk
Sync. Now you can use the audio file in iTunes or
modify it in GarageBand like I have done, mix it up a
bit…and bingo! This way you created an original sound
track for your presentation or in this case for our
FotoMagico slide show.
Pls. Note: I only use my own compositions or paid
audio, this is more original and you don’t have to
worry about any Copyright infringements.
Lets open FotoMagico…you don’t have to be a Rocket
scientist or a famous Chef to do some great cooking
in FotoMagico as I explained in my previous post.
Everything is connected… great integration with the
Mac…& yes it runs well on Snow Leopard too (I
discovered no glitches in FotoMagico 3.0.8 Pro)
Open your Media Browser in FM and select Photos, you
have all your iPhoto and Aperture Libraries right
here. Of course you have also access the same way to
your iTunes Libraries, GarageBand and Videos, yes
videos… with FotoMagico 3 Pro you can also include
your film clips and mix them up with your still
images.
Now you select the images you like and drag them on
the time line, move them around the way you see fit,
add pan or zoom to each or all, set the timing and
pick your transitions.
It is a good Idea to add some black frames at the
start and finish like I have done to include some
text/information; again FM makes this very easy. Text
can also be applied to run over the images, options
for different Fonts, sizes and colors are all there,
plus so much more.
Once you happy with the flow of your images open the
Media Browser again and pick your Music, select the
track you like and drag it on the audio time line. It
is a good Idea to determine before you start the
approx lengths of your show. You can also adjust the
soundtrack by moving it into the right position
Options for voice over and additional audio tracks
are available, but we keep it simple today…I created
the basic Journey Through Colors & Sound
slideshow in about an hour of course not including
the editing in Aperture 2 and mixing the audio in
GarageBand.
One last check in the Preview before you share your
show via YouTube or all the other options including a
HD presentation direct from your Laptop.
If you export direct to YouTube like in my case, make
sure you have an account or create one before, the
rest is fully automatic but could take some time
depending on the lengths of your show and of course
your connection speed.
We finished our cooking for today now lets serve a
good meal to our friends or clients…believe
me, FotoMagico 3 Pro
made cooking
very easy & tasty…Enjoy your meal.

Travel
Photography & iPhone…Tips on cool applications, not only for Travel, Underwater & general Photography.
In some of my previous Blogs I have recommended some interesting applications like the spirit level, the excellent GPS from Motion X and others, but today we have a look at the sky, the dark and the bright side, plus some new measurement tools.
Lets use Cambodia and India as an example; upon arrival how many times have you asked at your Hotel or the locals what time is sunset or sunrise, only to be told…oh about 5:00 AM is sunrise and sunset is around about… 5:30PM, hmmm… it is always about or something like that…
Very seldom you get an accurate answer, I like to know the exact time… if not you could miss a great shot, even more so if you have to travel to your final destination where you like to be for those early morning or late afternoon shots.
The choice is awesome when it comes to applications but only a few do it well, so lets start with the Werewolf which come out on a full Moon.

Gunther Deichmann - always on time for sunset or
sunrise,
Queensland Australia
Our first App
is Phases
a beautifully
crafted little app that shows you all kinds of useful
information about the moon—and a little bit about the
sun.
24 hour time zone, Location
GPS, Time zone, Northern and Southern Hemisphere etc.
Moonrise and Moonset, Sunrise and Sunset & a lot
more.
But the best part about Phases is a Calendar with the
Moon Phase for planning your trip month ahead or
check on the tides if you’re an Underwater
Photographer or Diver.
In other words you can plan your trip in such a way
that you can be certain that you will be on a
specific location in time for this magic Moonrise
with your girlfriend, Camera or just waiting for the
Werewolf…check out the website for a full explanation
and info at:
http://bjango.com/apps/phases/
_________________________________________
Not a NightOwl? Then Sun n
Moon is
the way to go, it gives you sunset and sunrise on
location and some info on the Moon but hasn’t the
cool Moon Phase Calendar like Phases.
Sun n Moon is more on sunset and sunrise, but it is
also a very useful and a good application.
Sun n Moon accurately calculates data for:
Key Features
• Sunrise and sunset times (no network connection
required)
• Moonrise and moonset times
• Specify location by 3 methods:
http://www.catalyst4.com/sun_n_moon/Sun_n_Moon.html
_________________________________________
Now we are done for today’s romantic setups under the
Moon or at Sunset,
its time for some measurements and two more
Apps.
The one which really stands
out is fairly new and called Dimensions
from
pocketDEMO
fantastic and
super cool…I could describe this one for ever but
instead have posted the LINK so you can check it out,
I have tested it and fell in love with it, a must for
US$ 1.99 some useful devices for Photography and many
other uses in this amazing iPhone application
toolbox. You can even check Thunder storm (distance)
size up your shoes and dress, measure your room or
the distance to the next dive site using your iPhone
Camera (now that is so cool) or check the thickness
of your wetsuit plus so much more. It has also some
of the best tutorials for an aplication I have seen
on the iPhone. This one you have to check out!

Don't know your connection speed? Speedtest.net
its there to
help, a simple but accurate tool to test your
connection speed. This free application very useful
if you're in a different location and don't know the
speed...should I start uploading or downloading now
or should I wait for a better connection. It works
both on Wi-fi and on Edge.
Excerpts from their website and link below for more
info:
Speedtest.net
using a massive
global infrastructure to minimize the impact of

That’s
it for today, with these Apps you can easily measure
your Costumes for Halloween (you better believe it
Dimension does it too) and check if you have the full
Moon to watch the Werewolves running around. And now
I am going to do a speedtest on my iPhone to check if
I should upload this Blog now.

Aperture
v. Lightroom, the never-ending saga on the Net, don’t
worry I keep it simple and get straight to the point.
I am sure all Aperture 2 users waiting with great
anticipation for the next upgrade…
I hope we get to see it soon.
I am not an expert on Lightroom nor I am going to be
one, I am happy with
Aperture 2
for all my
work. I believe the most common problem lies when
you work with two or three different software’s
instead getting used to one, learning and
understanding it properly.
Lightroom has introduced recently some updates and
improved the software, however in my opinion there
are quiet a few advantages in using Aperture 2.
First of all the smooth integration on a Mac, it is
flawless and very smooth, plus in Aperture you can
make adjustments at any stage. E.g. if you have an
image selected you can pull up the adjustment-HUD
right there in the Browser, Full screen in book
layouts etc., no need to go back and forth.
This is very cool and feels free and more natural.
From what I know and heard of LR this cant be done,
LR puts way too much emphasis on the software while
Aperture lets you focus on what you want to do with
your image.
Check with the Power Mac Center in Greenbelt 3 for
Aperture Training and intro
Seminars.

More
iPhone 3G applications.
In one of my recent Blogs I recommended the
GPS from
MotionX, another interesting one
is
AudioBoo you record your voice or a
conversation with friend then post it on Twitter or
Facebook. Useful? For some of us maybe, check it out
and play with it.
For those who use the iPhone Camera,
AutoStitch is cool, thanks to my good
friend Choon from Singapore who pointed this
application out to me.
iPhone 3G Camera,
using four images and then AutoStitch
See above an example taken
without any planning during last Fridays
“Mojito”
sessions at Café

and posted a few seconds later on Twitter. You can
even crop the image after it has been stitched.

to your music at the same
time.
There
are so many applications for the iPhone but this one
is super cool! Slick integration allows you not only
to find your way but listen to Music direct from the
software via iTunes, plus so much more. Read below an
article from a very happy Dive Instructor in Palawan
Philippines, finding those dive sites again is a
breeze now.
A few months ago I introduced my good buddy Dirk
Fahrenbach from
Dugong Dive Center & Club
Paradise to the iPhone and
recommended at the same time some cool
applications including the GPS from MotionX, with
Facebook and Twitter integration.
It is your Global Position System on your iPhone!
After some weeks he strolled into my place again and
I ask him, hey how is the iPhone?
…oh buddy, real good and I love the GPS, better than
all those expensive ones I have been using on my
Boats.
GD
Read
below Dirk’s comments:
I am totally amazed how great this software is,
the
Dugong Dive Center
has 3 big
dive boats and I have one GPS for each boat from
well-known companies. They are complicated to use
in particular for my boat Crew.
Then I brought my iPhone, Gunther gave me a crash
curse on the iPhone and installed the GPS from Motion
X. A few days later during a dive trip my Boat
Captain and myself tried it out on my Boat the
“Toshina”, we where both amazed.

Easy to use, there is no
need for studying any manuals. You can go from page
to page and the connection to Google maps makes it
even more enjoyable looking at the current location.
Like some music in the background? No problems you
even have a page with iTunes!
Need a Photo from a waypoint? No problem either, you
can find it anytime on your recorded track. (with
exact time and location in your logbook)
©
Gunther Deichmann - easy to find
those dive sites again.
Finding satellites is
very easy and fast, plus the position, speed and
signals are very accurate and well displayed, the
build in compass works accurate too.
Battery consumption can be a little problem but
external battery packs for the iPhone or a charger on
the boat can solve those problems easy.
No need for an expensive and complicated GPS, the one
from MotionX is doing just fine, the only problem is…
I have 3 boats but only one iPhone…at the moment that
is, ha, ha.

Internet connection down…iPhone to the rescue… iWeb ’09 and a new website from Fins Magazine plus the first “Underexposed” on the 15th of this month…
Totally frustrated by not having an Internet connection these past few days almost drove me in insane…but then came the iPhone to the rescue, oh boy did it ever.
Our main connection was down…so I used Edge on my iPhone at least I got my email.
OK. Now we are back, up and running, not only me but my good friends at Fins Magazine too with their brand NEW Website…I like it and think it is super cool or is it the Music? I am listening to the latest Nickelback in the background? No, no the site is really awesome and very different and I am sure our Underwater Photographers and Divers going to love it. You have to check it out at: http://www.finsonline.com/
Congratulations Guys well done!
I have also fixed a few
things on my Commercial Photography site…we had a few
problems but now I am running

Travel Photography & Aperture 2: iTalk with iTalk Sync a handy Application for the iPhone, applying Metadata via copy and paste into Aperture 2 plus a lot more.
Perfect
for recording and interviews in the field, taken
notes has just become so much easier.
As the name suggests,
iTalk and
iTalk Sync work
real well together, the perfect combination.
Ok.enough
sweet talk…say
you walking around those amazing Temples in Cambodia
with their strange names or you just hanging around a
side walk Café, now you use your iPhone and start
recording, OK that is nothing new. But now you’re
back at your Hotel start editing and Caption your
images from the days shoot. Mmmhhhh, what was the
name of this Temple again?
Easy,
you synchronize your iPhone with your Lap Top and
start up
iTalk Sync,
the recordings from the day are now on your Desk Top
or place them in iTunes, it is that easy. But It gets
much better, since you gave every recording a name or
added additional text to it, a small text file is
also attached and parked right next to your sound
file on your Desk Top. You can open this text file in
Text edit, and you’re ready for copy and paste into
your
Aperture Metadata,
plus you have all the additional info in your sound
recordings.
The transfer from the iPhone to Computer is wireless,
OK. if no Wi-Fi is available you can always play back
the recording and work on your caption manual and
transfer everything later when a connection is
available, but at least you have a nice recording
with all the information.
The
aiff and the text file on your Desk Top
I
mention in my earlier Blog some of the other cool
Applications for the iPhone, but this one is super
cool, and set the quality of your recordings is
available too.
iTalk
is
US $4.95 and
iTalk Sync is
for free, you can download
iTalk Sync from
this
LINK and
install it in your Computer. You can buy
iTalk from
the Apple Store and download it straight into your
iPhone.
GD
Using
iTalk Sync is simple and straightforward, below are
some details, a text file which is part of the
Software.
When you run iTalk Sync, it will immediately scan
your local Wi-Fi network to find any iPhone (or iPod
Touch 2G) that is running iTalk. So make sure your
iPhone or iPod is awake and talking to the network,
and is running iTalk. (Henceforth, all instructions
referring to "iPhone" should be understood to apply
to iPod Touch 2G, as well, unless otherwise noted.)
If iTalk Sync finds more than one iPhone, it will
show you a list. Double-click on the name of the
iPhone you want to connect with.
Your iPhone will show you a message that your
computer is attempting to connect with it. Press Yes
or No.
When you okay the connection, iTalk Sync will show
you a list of the recordings stored on your iPhone.
To transfer the recordings to your computer, simply
use your mouse to drag them out of the list and onto
your desktop.
Your recordings will be transferred as high-quality
AIFF files, which you can play in iTunes or in most
other media players. iTunes will give you the option
of burning your recordings onto audio CDs, or
converting them to a different format such as
AAC/MP3, for use with portable music players.
You may want to convert your files; in general,
AAC/MP3 files take up less storage room than AIFFs.
If you plan to edit your recordings further, keep the
original AIFFs and convert a copy of the edited
version as AAC/MP3.

PHOTOGRAPHY & APERTURE 2 using the Sharpening tools, plus a cool TIP for your iPhone “TRIPLE T” continues…
Tips,
Tricks & Techniques... “TRIPLE
T”
plus “Food for the iPhone”
© Gunther
Deichmann “Food
for the iPhone” cool
Applications
Lets
start with Aperture 2 before we start “cooking” with
the iPhone...
Applying
Sharpening...which one??? We have two sharpening
options in Aperture
2 Edge
sharpening and Sharpening. I get always asked why
should we sharpen images anyway or most of the time
and if so which one do we use.
Most if not all DIGITAL CAMERAS producing a softer
image, hence the build in sharpening controls in
today’s cameras.
So how come we don’t or I should say I don’t use
these? My Camera settings are all set to normal,
because it is very difficult to judge from the LCD
screen how much or how little sharpening to apply.
I have set all my sharpening parameters in Aperture 2
and since I know my Cameras I perform all the Edge or
Sharpening in the Computer using my standard
settings.
Of course these can vary from one Camera Model to
another, you have to experiment a little to find out
which settings works for you best. My recommendation
experiment with some of your images and don’t worry
you can always go back to your untouched Original,
that is the beauty about Aperture’s non-destructive
editing.
Aperture’s
Sharpening Adjustment does a good job, but it can
also get you into trouble.
SHARPENING
sharpens
everything in your image including nose from darker
images found in low light images. If you apply this
on Portraits this can have some unpleasant results.
Where as in Landscapes and normal exposed images this
could look Ok.
Aperture’s EDGE
SHARPENING controls lets you apply
subtle sharpening effects to only the edges in your
images.
Press F
to enter
Full
Screen mode, and then press
H
to bring up the
Adjustments HUD.
(to apply any sharpening you should view your images
at full screen mode) Now place your cursor at the
area you like to sharpen and press
Z
to zoom
to 100%
Press Control-S
to add an edge
Sharpening adjustments. Edge Sharpening searches for
edges by identifying areas of sudden contrast change.
Try a quick experiment and deactivate Edge Sharpening
controls group by deselecting it, and then add normal
Sharpening adjustments. Set the intensity to about
0.6 and the radius to 3.1. now you will noticed the
difference due to the Global sharpening.
Of course since Aperture
2 we have
also our New Dodge and
Burn Controls.

In Aperture select
IMAGES
and on the drop
down menu choose Dodge &
Burn then
on the small drop down window (red

select Sharpening,
choose your brush size and strengths and apply your
Sharpening on selected areas only.
