I had some fun this Easter with the Ar Drone developed by Parrot (yes the guys that were making nice bluetooth car kits ).
The 64GB iPad from Apple – best web browsing and email experience ever !
October 19, 2010 By
Finally I got it one week ago. It’s brilliant…you can easily replace your notebook with the iPad for business meetings, email and web surfing.
Plenty of space for movies, photos, and a lot of fresh designed iPad “HD” apps. It’s all here , the entire iWork suite (Pages, Keynote and Numbers) is available for $9.99 / each , Real Racing HD proves the Apple A4 CPU / GPU 3D performance in gaming and a thousand more apps.
It’s still under review…..
Pros: good battery life , excellent LED touchscreen, very good performance (hopefully Apple will not “update” it to a slower version using iTunes , as it did with the iPhone 3G) , easy to sync using iTunes with your Mac.
Cons: no camera, no stereo speakers, apps are more expensive compared to the iPhone.
Short photoshooting session outside
April 6, 2010 By
The pictures below were all taken using the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens. I just had some fun playing around in Aperture 3.0 for Mac with the brightness/contrast and saturation. Apart from that, it’s the best lens you can get for under $200 !
As you can see the results are pretty sharp and almost no distortion is visible.

Offshore helicopter flight / the rotor story
November 10, 2009 By
Sometimes it’s impossible to get to work using the boat due to bad weather , this is the time when I put my ass in the helicopter.
No more than 25 minutes of good music coming from the rotor. If you have ever wondered how this looks like here are some photos taken @ Tuzla – Constanta a few seconds after departure.
Oh what a day !
October 28, 2009 By
I really love this photo. I just don’t know why but it’s cool enough to make me happy. Waiting for my lunch to show up after I’ll prepare my Lavazza espresso. It’s just an ordinary day …. by the way just got Snow Leopard installed 4 days ago ! No big differences from it’s younger brother but I have noticed a speed increase and I’m a really big fan of 64 bit applications.
iPod vs Kodak
September 8, 2009 By
Kodak received a massive boost in sales following the release of the Vanity Kodak in 1928. Fast forward 76 years and Apple did similar with the release of the iPod Mini.
Nikon 50mm f/1.8
September 3, 2009 By
Nikon calls this the Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 D. I’m using this lens for almost one year. Yet I never had the opportunity to see it’s impressive performance for it’s small price. If you’re a Nikonian you need one…here is why:
This is a very sharp lens even at f/1.8. At f/1.8 the DOF is very shallow so nailing the focus is very important. As a traditional AF lens it works with every Nikon ever made, digital and film, auto and manual focus.
It’s a full-coverage FX lens, so it works great on FX digital, DX digital and film. It works especially well on the Nikon D3 , Nikon D3X, Nikon D200 and D300. Like all of Nikon’s 50mm f/1.8 lenses, this has almost no distortion. Its distortion is so low that it was never visible in film days, and I only can see it today in digital by blowing up images to the equivalent of 6 feet (2m) wide on a computer screen and dropping an electronic straight edge on them, and then only if I deliberately shot a test.
