DSLRs and compact ILCs (interchangeable lens cameras) are becoming increasingly more affordable, and more and more amateur photographers are deciding to pick up one of these prosumer-grade cameras over the less-featured point-and-shoots. However a souped up camera doesn’t automatically make you a pro, and if you’re just going to run a 16mp image through an Instagram filter so it looks prettier on iPhoto, that’s a lot of money wasted on something you could have just easily have done on your smartphone’s camera.
So if you’re looking to achieve amazing photos like the one above, you’re in luck as Power Mac Center is holding a 2-day basic photography workshop with digital photo management using Apple’s photography software Aperture on February 8 and 9. The workshop will be held at the Subic Park Hotel in Zambales and will be conducted by multi-awarded and internationally acclaimed Australian photographer and Apple Pro Trainer, Gunther Deichmann (the dude pictured at the top of this article). That’s his sample photo you guys are looking at. Here are all his sample shots from the press release that you can ogle, and if you’re interested in signing up for Power Mac Center’s workshop, the official press release is attached below.
