19.02.1990 The release date of Adobe Photoshop 1.0
Photoshop 1.0
In the grand scheme of human history, February 19th may not go down as a momentous occasion, but it’s recently come to light that at least in the world of digital imaging, today signifies a more important date than most anybody realized. And that folks, is the delicious irony.

The first test is at ISO 800. The image on the left is Nikon D700 and the image on the right is Nikon D3s (click to enlarge). Both are extremely good at ISO 800, but Nikon D3s is a little cleaner in the background areas.
At ISO 1,600, the Nikon D3s starts to shine, showing a significantly less amount of noise in the background.
The same thing at ISO 3,200 and this time Nikon D3s is showing a 1-1.5 stops of improvement over Nikon D700.
At ISO 6,400 we are already seeing some loss of details on the Nikon D700, while Nikon D3s is still super sharp, with a slight amount of noise.
ISO 12,800 looks pretty darn good on the Nikon D3s, while the image from Nikon D700 is almost unusable with color blobs appearing in random spots.
As expected, the image is unusable at ISO 25,600 on the Nikon D700, while Nikon D3s is still kicking butt at ISO 25,600 with very few, barely noticeable color spots.
As you can clearly see from the above images, the Nikon D3s outperforms D700/D3 by approximately 1.5 stops. I cannot say that the difference is full two stops, because the Nikon D3s has a little more noise/grain at two stops than Nikon D700. For example, here is what we see when Nikon D700 @ ISO 3,200 is compared against Nikon D3s @ ISO 12,800:
Sharpness-wise both images are very similar, but when you look at noise levels, Nikon D700 @ ISO 3200 is a tad better than Nikon D3s @ ISO 12,800, which is already remarkable. The ISO on Nikon D3s can also be “boosted” to ISO 51,200 and 102,400 for those, who need to be able to shoot in extremely dim environments or want to get faster shutter speeds. Let’s take a look at those crazy ISOs:
ISO 51,200 is not bad at all and is much more usable when compared to Nikon D700′s ISO 25,600. I wouldn’t use ISO 102,400 though, because it is not only too grainy, but there seem to be issues with blue and red color blobs getting added to the picture (nearly impossible to deal with in post-production).

The path you choose determine so called destiny. The choice is all yours and it’s not written anything before.
So do not stay too long in one place, go ahead, right or left, but never go back.
Keep Walking.
Joi 8 aprilie 2010 la Carturesti, absolventii clasei de Fotografie de la CppC, vor expune cate o lucrare.
Va asteptam cu mic cu mare.
Salut mintile obsedate de sex care au interpretat tilul in felul lor, dar mai jos am tecut mesajul meu 
In sus, tot timpul in sus; asta e ideea, inainte si in sus. Totul tine de vointa pana la urma, si nu imi zice de noroc. Nu exista asa ceva toti suntem rezultatul alegerilor noastre, a lenii, a comoditatii, a rautatii, a ignorantei. Da, stiu e vina altora…mmm, cum sa nu. E vina ta ca esti un looser (no offense, vorbeam la general). Desi dur, nu vreau decat sa iti deschid ochii. Daca deja ai facut-o e bine, daca nu, intreaba-te de ce esti deprimat, de ce nu ai bani, de ce esti nefericit, de ce nu ai o casa, sau orice altceva ce iti doresti ? Pentru ca viata nu ti-a dat nimic. Si nu iti va da. Trebuie sa iei tu, sa te lupti sa iti faci tu, sa inveti cum poti fi fericit. E greu sa reconosti ca esti vinovat, al dracu de greu. E mai usor sa dai vina pe ce e in jurul tau: pe conjunctura, pe seful tau care nu te place, nu ai bani ca e criza, nu sunt fericit ca mor copii in Africa, nu ai avut norocul lor, si scuzele pot contina.
“Deschide ochii,” nu doar ochii !
Te las sa te gandesti la asta. Daca o faci e un inceput, daca nu … e sfarsit.
Nu foarte frig, dar cu mainile inghetate, pe trepied si alergat de caini, o sa va arat ceva din ce mi-a iesit.
Aparent fara logica amesteca culorile si le afiseaza cu nonsalanta, arde tot ce a fost verde, desi omoara o face cu gratie.
