Nice feedback from our last Aperture 2 Photography Workshop at the Power Mac Center Manila, Philippines…using already the .Mac Web Gallery, Dodge and Burn and switching from PC to Mac…
The success and credit certainly has to go to Aperture 2.1 with all the NEW improvements from previous versions.
Read below some of the comments I have received from a few participants,many thanks again to all participants who attended the recent Aperture 2 & Photography sessions at the Power Mac Center at Greenbelt 3, Makati,Manila.
Hi Gunther,__Tks a lot for the session in Mac Center !!!_With the new function Dodge & Burn you introduce to me, I enhance a bit more this picture. Sharpen the lovely faces, and burn a little the upper side. Looks better now, no ? Tks again for the time you spend with rookies like us, it's a great experience to learn from a pro like you !!! ;-)__Keep me informed if ever you organize a workshop in the future._Looking forward to see you again,_Cheers,_Vincent_(tks also for your kind comment to my attention on the blog ! ;-J

I did ask Vincent Leterrier if
we can use the image on our Blog, read his reply
below send via the .Mac Web
Gallery in Aperture
2…I
think I found another fan for the
.Mac
Web Gallery, it is certainly one of my
favorites. Note:
Vincent using a 15
inch Mac Book Pro and switched recently from Aperture
1.5 to Aperture 2
Hi Gunther,
Tks for your kind comment on my photos, first time I
received a recognition like that from a photographer
(I know my family and friends love my pictures,
but....;-)
Of course, you can use it on your blog, I'm even
honored ! (it sounds so formal, but it's not my
intention, just take it in the simplest way !)
Here are the photo, I've add another one that I like
too. The girl at the back have a pure model face, and
I like the East-Ouest multicultural dimension...
Unfortunately, at this time we did not meet yet, so I
was shooting in Jpeg only !!! There is a lack of
crisp, but this time is over now... ;-)
BUT, the new Aperture 2.1 functionalities like
Recovery and Black point are also working well for
Jpegs. So fantastic. And the tool Dodge and Burn
also!

Thank you Gunther, Hermes and to all the Mac staff –
an outstanding job!
Kristina, Rose and I had a fun and informative day.
Even an old dinosaur with embarrassingly limited
computer skills like myself, found the presentation
surprisingly "comfortable", not to mention inspiring!
You've won three more converts - at PC's expense!
Look forward to more of your workshops - perhaps
something on restoration techniques of old negative
and slide film?
Well worth the round trip from far away Subic!
Cheers,
Kevin Hamdorf, Photographer

way from Subic Bay with his Daughter and Rose his
Graphic Designer, good old Bebet Gaudinez a Lightroom
user who attended my Photo Workshop in Cambodia last
year and Vincent Leterrier who participated in one of
my earlier workshops made his presence felt with some
very cool images he shot recently.
A lot of fun
at the Power
Mac Center, Makati
Manila Philippines.
Hey.. do you like my new Tattoo
“I LOVE MAC”
All participants had to go out and
shoot a number of images which we later imported
into Aperture

some adjustments, cropping and changing a few into
Black & White using the Monochrome
Mixer.

This year saw the advent of specialized plug-ins for
Apple's Aperture

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.

Cool images
by Luis Martin Harder…

All Photos above

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…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 “little reunion”.
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…
You might remember from one of my earlier blogs…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.

Photoshelterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
Congratulations
to
PhotoShelter
and their team, the new and exciting
PhotoShelter Collection
was officially launched on the
12th of November, 2007 in New
York!
It all started with
Aperture some time ago, PhotoShelter was one of the
very first Plugins after the release of Aperture, I
did some research and signed up, since then I have
never looked back. Like with all new things, they
need time to mature before you can see any real
benefits, there are potential sales and of-course
have the piece of mind that your most important
images are stored in a different location, I am very
famous for preaching back up, back up and more back
ups, remember this is your work and for me, it is my
life.

What's
PhotoShelter?
Created by photographers in 2005, PhotoShelter has
quickly become one of the professional photography
industry's most trusted brands. We are a thriving
creative community where advanced technology combines
with a native understanding of photographers to power
the future of photography online.
The
PhotoShelter Collection
The newly launched
PhotoShelter Collection enables photographers of all
levels to benefit from a worldwide image-selling
marketplace that returns commercial and creative
independence back into the hands of the artist. For
commercial photo buyers, The PhotoShelter Collection
aims to offer the freshest editorialized collection
of imagery online.
Check this

and talking a lot more about PhotoShelter
in my up coming blogs,
the important issue for now my old link to my
PhotoShelter
Gallery stays the
same,
http://www.photoshelter.com/c/gdeichmann
and
it is here where you always find my latest
images.
My new
Micro Site is up very soon on The
PhotoShelter Collection.
I am informing everyone on all these exciting
developments as soon they become available.
Check out the new
The PhotoShelter Collection, the site is ready for business and
as mention above I advise and provide you with the
link to my personal Micro site soon, some of my very
special images have been already integrated on this
site.
By
the way the GDPhotoWorkshop
site has now all the
latest info on up coming Photo workshops in 2008, for
Cambodia everything is in place, Palau and Tibet will
follow shortly, just go to the link and make your
reservation if you interested. http://www.gdphotoworkshop.com/home.html
Thank

We have also up dated our Blog page on the
GDPhotoWorkshop site and this one, we made it easier
for you now to search and navigate through articles

Cambodia and a reunion at the Penguin Cafe... the journey continues.
We had spend some time together in Cambodia during our Photo Workshop but never realized that we had so much in common, Bebet is the first Filipino I met and I know who plays the Australian Dideridoo, and knows one of my favorite bands Yothu Yindi from Downunder, Bebet actually played in the Band who performed during this years Australian Day at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, I attended the function but had no Idea who was playing the Dideridoo, now I know.
What a small world!
We had a great time, listening to some cool sounds at the Penguin Cafe and chatted about Photography, Music, Cambodia and Tibet all night, we also talked about getting together for a Jam session soon, his friend who plays the flute, Bebet on the Dideridoo and myself on the Mac mixing and recording on GarageBand, I am really looking forward to this one, that is going to be one hell of a session. These guys are very good, let's see what we can came up with, I am sure we do a cool podcast after. I like to thank Bebet for all the drinks, food and entertainment, I had a real great and relaxing evening, thank you so much.
Music and Photography... how well they go together, I cant be with out it, and after last night I guess I am not the only one, Bebet will join me next year in July/August on my GDPhotoWorkshop to Tibet, lets see if he gets the chance to play the big Horns the Monks are playing during festival time at 3800 meters.

More nice words from my cool workshop participants
© Gunther Deichmann, Cambodia 2007
As
mention in my earlier blog, all the participants have
been so great and kind with their comments on my
recent workshop in Cambodia, thank you again so much,
I said before you have been a "Great Bunch".
Buddha bless you all!
Hi Mr. GD,
Welcome back! Just wanted to say I had the best
time in Cambodia. Loved the different sights, sounds,
culture, people and food! As the youngest
(assuming?
) and greenest
one among the "great bunch", I
have to say I probably learned the most from you
and even some of the guys (Kuya Luis was really
great with encouraging me). This
experience has taught me not to be content on
just waiting for the moment but going out and
looking for it. Be proud in knowing that
you have touched my life by
inspiring me through your wisdom.
Thank you,
Jasmin
Hey Gunther,
Good to know you're back.
Haven't thanked you enough for our Cambodia
experience as well the friendship you have extended.
Would have loved to stay and extra day to shoot Tonle
Sap, well, maybe next time.
Hope to shoot with you again and perhaps a couple of
beers in Malate/Penguin.
Later,
Bebet
Dear Gunther,
Welcome back! I heard from Francis that
everyone had a great time with the workshop.
Congratulations. =)
Best Regards,
Lawrence

I
just arrived back from the Photo Workshop in
Cambodia, I am sad, I just love that Country,
incredible culture and history, but most of all real
nice people.
Please see below some of the testimonials I have
received from some of the workshop participants,
again thanks to all who participated, you all did
great.
GD.
HI Gunther,
Thanks
a lot friend. You’re not only a great photographer
and artist but a real cool companion, friend and
mentor. You made our trip to Cambodia very memorable
and our experience worth more than sharing to our
families and friend. Although I have the tendency to
shift to my own world when we hit the road for our
photo shoots – I always have in my mind the images in
your book and the lessons and insights you have
unselfishly shared to us in the class. Having said
that, my experience at the Cambodia GDPhotoWorkshop
has vastly influenced and enriched my knowledge in
photography. Thanks a lot Mr. Gunther Deichmann –
you’re the man.
Best
regards,
Luis
Harder

Hey

How're
you doing? Me, I've been showing off my pictures in
Cambodia (untouched) and of course they like what
they've seen (i mean my wife and kids -

really learned a lot from our experience and I thank
you and Jun for inviting me.
See
you!

Hi Gunther,
I can't begin to tell you what an amazing time I had
in Cambodia with you & the amazing people we did
the course with, History was in the making I think.
We have taken some amazing photo's you have taught me
so many things I need to look for. Your eye for
seeing incredible things which one would not normally
see. Not only these things are special to me but you
have inspired me even more, plus my friendship to you
has grown even more, for this my friend I thank you
for the bottom of my heart .
Cambodia itself ! wow I was in awe not stop the
wonder the history the amazing temples this feeling I
had in side of me was magical, behind every stone was
was story to be told ! around every corner, one could
not wait to see what was there to be photographed. I
know now that my life has changed & I have to be
a Photographer more than anything & you taught me
light * color is the key.
As for my new friends please could you pass on this
mail to the wonderful people that accepted me as a
fellow photographer, you were all very special to me
& am excited about new adventures together.
All in all I'm complete & extremely happy with
everything the monks were wonderful for the icing on
the cake & the hotel everyone was fantastic, last
but bby no means the least our trusty guide, which I
could never pronounce his name, thanks so much.
Mark Cox
Photographer & Adventurer.
Hi GD,
Congratulations for a very successful workshop. I
really learned a lot. My only wish is I can go back
again. The group is very happy. Very minor
suggestions. We all got back without a hitch.

More images from Cambodia and the highlight from the last day.
I am writing this
blog from Cambodia, the group has left and I stayed
behind for a few extra days, I have provided a direct
link to my Aperture Web
Gallery of images
behind the scene. Images of the participants in
action, our Hotel and rooms plus a Buddhist
blessing right at the Hotel for the whole group on
our last day.
I have to say this group or I call them just a great
bunch, have been real cool and some of them booking
for Tibet already, we are also planning some more
Workshops in Cambodia and of course stay at the
Heritage Suite Hotel, again my special thanks to the
management in particular to Sylvie and Fabrice for
arranging a real Buddhist blessing on our last day.
Many thanks to all and see you soon again for some
great Photography, Aperture of course made my life
easy during the editing and going direct to the Web
Gallery without any problems.Stay tuned for updates
on the
GDPhotoWorkshop
site, soon with a Gallery and

Direct from Cambodia
WOW !!!
Direct from the
Heritage Hotel
in Siam Reap the very first Blog from the
GDPhotoWorkShop.
This is only a
quick one just to let everybody know, we had a great
time and some of the images from the participants
turned out just fantastic, my personal thanks to all
who attended this workshop in Siam Reap, Cambodia.
You all did a great Job, I am proud for having such
great talents around me. Well done.
More details will follow once I finished with all the
editing and find more time.
This has been a tough one for all, including myself,
everyday 5am until 10pm in the evening. Classroom
sessions at lunch and in the evening.
Our very first winner for this event is Luis Harder,
he hit it right on, the assignment or subject was to
come up with an image which had nothing to do with
temples, he took the shot below near the Heritage
Hotel. Real great well done Luis!
He is now the proud owner of the Apple Aperture
Software, sponsored by the Power Mac Center in
Makati. I update and inform everybody regarding the
whole event, please let me catch my breath first.
There are so many stories to tell and some great
images to show from the last few days, and once I am
back we have our special galley up soon on the
GDPhotoWorkShop web site. Also very soon more details
from our sponsors and major prizes later.
Many
thanks to Apple Singapore for all the other
goodies.
A very special thanks to the management and staff
from the Heritage Hotel, a real surprise will follow
in my next blog, so please stay tuned or
subscribe.

The shooting is our top priority but seeing all the images later in Aperture on our Computer is going to be really exciting, as mention I try my best to do some blogs direct from the location, however our Gallery with the best images will be up on the GDPhotoWorkshop site up on my return.
Of course I am also looking forward to see my old friends and my guide Savuth again who is guiding us through this unique place, and having the Heritage Hotel as our base is just fantastic.
Thanks to our supporters/sponsors: Apple Singapore, the Power Mac Center in Makati, Manila, Sam's Tours Palau and the Heritage Hotel in Siam Reap we make this Gallery very interesting and a challenge for our participants, we have a lot of surprises in stall for the best images but more on these later.
My gratitude to Jun Miranda from the Philippine Center for Creative Imaging for all his support and hard work.
Reporting soon from Angkor Wat, Siam Reap, Cambodia,

is going to be an all out Mac event now, I just found
out last night during our preparation meeting at the
Philippine Center for Creative Imaging, that
everybody is using Mac's.You
just took 2,000shots. Now what?
Aperture
is going to take care
of that and I am sure we take more than 2,000 images,
with 15 photographers around, you bet.
I meet the participants from the Philippines, USA and
Australia, I have to admit a great bunch, we are
going to have some fun and shoot some nice images at
this fantastic world heritage site.
The usual day will go like this; early morning and I
mean early morning excursions to the great sites of
Angkor, then we have lunch and some session on our
Mac's until 3pm.Our base is the great
Heritage Suites Hotel in Siam
Reap, check it
out @ http://www.heritage.com.kh
Then off again into the field until sunset, dinner
and after that a two hour session on computers,
critic, and the digital workflow after the shoot with
open discussions.
I am trying to post some live blogs, connection
permitted and keep everybody informed, some real
surprises are waiting for all participants, but it is
not a surprise if I let the cat out of the bag now,
dont worry everybody will find out soon.
You just have to make sure you stay tuned and

Gunther Deichmann is holding Photo Workshops in Asia
and organizing some underwater photo workshops in
Palau, Micronesia and in the Philippines. There will
be a well known underwater photographer with you and
at times a marine biologist on your side to get the
image you have dreamed about and of course Gunther
will guide to through the after the shoot procedures
using Aperture or Photoshop, the complete digital
workflow.
These workshops expose you to different cultures,
people and see beyond the non-Photographers eye.
Travel, explore and learn how to see things in a
different light with Gunther Deichmann.
For the event calendar go to:
GDPhotoWorkshop
Gunther has 30 years experience in Asia, which he
made his Home. Learn the workflow after the shoot
with Aperture and Photoshop. Sort, manage your
images, Catalog, edit and do the adjustments.
But most important… develop the skills to take better
photos,
or as Gunther refers to images…
… our present, past and future, nobody can take them
away from us.
