Omar’s Images in Aperture 2,
the red
square is where you
find the info on Camera Models and a lot more...
The
other day my good friend Dirk Fahrenbach from Dugong
Dive Center dropped by and gave me this CD…hey Dirk
what I am going to do with that?
There are some images from our Filipino Dive Master
Omar on it, please have a look give me your opinion.
Sure…I imported the images into Aperture 2
and got a real
surprise…wow these are real great…what camera is he
using?
Dirk replied, Oh… one of these little small ones in
some sort of Housing…
After I had a good look at the images I checked on
the Metadata in Aperture 2
and found out the
Camera Model, it is a Canon IXY.
After importing the images I only applied a few
adjustments, mainly…cropping, Auto levels and a bit
of contrast…since all the images had been in JPG I
had some limitations, but Omar’s shots where that
good anyway that little was needed for improvements.
Again, Aperture
came in very handy in
editing the shots very fast and applying some basic
adjustments, I created a new project and after I am
done can store this one on my external drive in case
we need Omar’s shots for some future publications.

Dugong Dive Center... for more info on Dugong Dive
Center click on the small Banner Ad on the left.
Plans are in the making for a Photoworkshop int he
near future at Club Paradise and Dugong Dive Center.
Please stay tuned for the announcement and what
better way to go diving with Omar who will find these
cool critters for you.
Great shots with a small Camera and it gets to show
you again what can be done with limited equipment, I
guess in Underwater Photography you have to be a good
Diver first, and Omar has that mastered for sure.
Dirk asks me if I could show some of Omar’s Images on
my Blog and I readily agreed nice images from a very
humble Dive Master. It is these people…Dive Masters
and photography assistants who make our shots at
times easier to get, so lets give them some credit
and support their hobby and passion.

I have created another
Photo Gallery for Guys like Omar, otherwise we never
get to see their nice images.
