Topaz Black & White Effects Released
I use the Topaz Plugins with Aperture, and they’ve just released a new plugin – B&W Effects. The full price is $59.99 but there’s $30 off until 18 Sep if you use the coupon ‘bwandbeyond’ at checkout.
Here’s a before and after of St Patrick’s Cathedral in New York that I took earlier this year, reprocessed in Topaz B&W Effects.

Olympus Penpal PP-1 for E-PL2
So my PP-1 turned up last week. It’s a Bluetooth adapter for the Olympus E-PL2 which fits into the Accessory Port and allows wireless image transmission from the camera to a mobile phone or laptop.
I paired it with my Apple MacBook Air but couldn’t get any files to transfer. So I emailed Derrick Story who’s a big fan of the Micro Four-Thirds cameras and who had already blogged that he’d got it working. He got back to me straight away and explained that you have to go to the Sharing Preference Pane and switch on Bluetooth Sharing. While you’re there you can also make “When receiving items:” read “Accept and Save”.
Now it all works fine and the PP-1 is a useful accessory! Thanks Derrick!
Daily Photo
A couple of months ago I changed my Picture of the Day website from a sub-domain of hangout to its own domain, daily-photo.net.
As you’ve probably guessed, I upload one photo a day as an attempt to improve my photography.
