Thank you Massimo for letting me use your image on my blog, a nice one to share with all our other readers.
See below email from Massimo:
Hello Gunther!
I always very interested to follow your blogs updates.
Just my 1 cent:
- Regarding the way to protect your pictures on the web I agree that flash make it more difficult. Anyway as you know very well it is very easy to copy a pictures using tools like "Grab" for the Mac, even if still in low resolution.
- I do really like your latest gallery "The View from my Car Window". Street photography (with or without car!) is what I really like and do a lot here in Vietnam. I would like to share the following picture that I got from the car last weekend.

Casal - Ha Tay province just ouside
Hanoi,Vietnam
you might also noticed that I have added a Copyright
watermark
on Massimo’s image hence my other blog
“How to protect my images on the
web”.
The picture is taken in Ha Tay
province (just outside Hanoi city) from the car
window.
I used a Canon 1DMarkIII camera + 28-300L lens. RAW
file processed with Aperture 2.1.1, using also the
Dodge and Burn plug-in to lighten and sharpen the
bride face.
Thank you very much and Best Regards!!

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:

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
