Aperture Albums in iTunes

I had an issue the other day where a couple of my Aperture photo albums weren’t appearing in the photos tab of iTunes, so I couldn’t sync them to my iPad.

The fix turned out to be: select the errant photos in Aperture and then click on the menu item “Photos > Generate Thumbnails”.

Some people recommend “Photos > Update Previews” as well, but it wasn’t required in my case.

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.

Sailing Finished (For A Bit)

Yachtmaster (Offshore) Course complete, followed by Powerboat Level 2 and Powerboat Advanced. That’s all the sailing until we pick up our charter boat for our Greek holiday.

Thanks to all the Hot Liquid and Duck-2-Water Instructors for their patience, and all the new friends I’ve made along the way.

Some recent photos:

Sailing Photos

Not much in the way of blogging recently, I’m in the middle of a seven-week Yachtmaster Course. Here are a few images taken in the Solent, the English Channel, Cherbourg and the Channel Islands.
