Photography: Two minutes interval and a split second, the beauty about natural light.
“I love the simplicity in Nature” - GD
One afternoon during my recent trip to Cambodia (March 2013) I spotted this old, almost forgotten boat at the outer moat at Angkor Wat.
It was getting late and it didn’t look like to be a great sunset at this amazing historical site, but then I caught a glimpse of this old boat resting at the edge of the outer moat that surrounds Angkor Wat.
Subtle clouds and sky reflecting in the water, surrounding the boat in an ever fast changing light.
It didn’t take very long before the afternoon beauty had disappeared completely, but I got my images in an ever changing natural light.
I guess visitors to Angkor Wat that afternoon left disappointed since there was no real magic sunset over the main Khmer Temple, everybody walked right past the real beauty, except for me.

Split second…

The image above was taken on the way to Battambang, Cambodia about a year ago when I spotted these children playing in the rice fields.
It was very late already and the sun was just about to disappear, we stopped the car and I managed to get a few frames catching this boy playing with a ball in the last light of the day.
A split second…and one frame only.

Photography: Gunther Deichmann's main website has a new look, a complete overhaul.
It was about time…
A few weeks ago we decided to make some changes and give my main website a facelift, now it is ready and active.
Here are some of the newer features; fewer and larger photos, updated the Biography, tided up Publications and Link pages and included a Thumbnail Icon below the image located between the Arrow buttons, plus a direct LINK to our GD Expedition Travel Adventure Photo Workshops Tours in ASIA.
Without a doubt the hardest part was choosing the photos, only 48 images... You might ask why only so few? The answer is quiet simple…PhotoShelter!
Most of the high resolution photos are kept in my PhotoShelter archives and in their selected Galleries anyway, so there was no need anymore in duplicating and having repeats on my main site. It is sort of a Gateway to all my other images that are nicely represented in PhotoShelter.
Of course there is still the Search Archive field for easy access to all my Galleries if you're looking for any specific photos.
New look and overhauled main site
http://www.deichmann-photo.com/
In due time we update these 48 photos but for the time being I hope you enjoy and like these selected images and the NEW LOOK.
Use the arrows and view the images in large one by one or If you click on the new
Thumbnail Icon you can see the Thumbnails and navigate easy through the 48 photos, 
We're still working behind the scene a bit, ironing out a few more not so visible glitches but other then that we are all up and running. I like to thank also my good friend and assistant Arj who put in many hours of hard work in this new look, thanks Bro.
Until soon,
GD
Aperture 3 Slide show demo including Motion from Final Cut Studio & GarageBand...endless possibilities
Aperture 3 Slide show including Motion from
Final Cut Studio & GarageBand.
Multi Media Demo only. "Faces" from Nepal - using Aperture 3, Motion
& GarageBand approx. 1: 10 min.
Pls. Note: Color and brightness might vary on different screens
Also on Vimeo & YouTube
Incorporating Motion from Final Cut Studio into an Aperture 3 Slide Show is giving us some cool possibilities. I created the Motion Clips with Motion which is part of Final Cut Studio, very nice as an intro and finish for your Aperture Slide shows.
The sound (2 separate tracks) I previously created in GarageBand and had them in my iTunes Library.
Like with everything else on a Mac a perfect integration, when open Motion I had access to all my Photos in my Aperture 3.0.3 Library and could have also used my soundtracks, but in this exercise I added the sound later in Aperture 3.0.3
It was real fun messing around with Motion and creating this short demo, with endless possibilities at your fingertips you can produce a nice and cool looking Multi Media show using Aperture 3, Motion and GarageBand.

The View from my Car Window continuous…a very different perspective, frustrating but rewarding Photography…edited in Aperture 2 and exported to PhotoShelter never leaving Aperture, sounds familiar…
Aperture has just been updated to 2.1.1
Apple has just released Aperture 2.1.1, and update to the program that "supports general compatibility issues, improves overall stability, and addresses a number of minor issues."
A few recent images from this series are on my Blog Gallery click here
or on the image above.
You might have to refresh your Browser in order to view the new images..
Sometimes we don’t realize what is around us when we travel by car… traveling to meetings or other appointments, visiting friends or family members. In short we spend a lot of time in our vehicles, trains, busses etc.
Shooting from your car window…glued to your seat never leaving the car, of course you have to have a Driver or go by Taxi. This can be challenging but also rewarding a very different perspective from the car window… you might remember I did something similar in Mumbai, India.
I had to discipline myself not to jump out of the car at times, but then that was the whole Idea in the first place, and I am not finish yet by all means…a lot more to come.
Not easy… moving, your view been blocked by other vehicles when you just about to press the shutter, trucks pull along side of you, or you have to stop at a red traffic light… see something and then of course comes Green, oh no… missed that one too.
We see these images every day as we drive to work or go to meetings, never realizing what is around us since we have to pay attention to the traffic. But as a passenger or with a driver you can create some amazing images, of course you have to bring your Camera along to the Board meeting… “A word of advice don’t try this, if you driving the car this could lead to major traffic jams and crashes…”
For more on the “The View from the Car Window” go my PhotoShelter Archive there you find images from Mumbai, India and Manila, Philippines.
PS.
All images have been taken with out ever leaving the car, edited in Aperture 2.1 then exported direct to PhotoShelter using the Plug-in from PhotoShelter never leaving Aperture. In other words I was “glued” to my car seat and also to my seat in front of my Mac BookPro using Aperture 2.1.1 now if that is not a coincident, then I don’t know.
