Peepler.ro {Piplăr punct ro}
Jan 28th
Peepler.ro e un serviciu web pus pe picioare prin septembrie 2008 de o echipa faina din care am facut si eu parte. Ne ziceam “Something Else” si aveam planuri mari pt .RO dar din motive mai mult sau mai putin importante fiecare a luat-o pe drumul lui – semn ca nu trebuia sa ne iasa atunci. N-as putea sa nu ii mentionez pe Adrian Grigore – cel care a adus prima data pe masa ideea acestui proiect si pe Razvan Nicu – responsabil de identitatea si primul layout Peepler.
Fiind singurul care am tras ca primul nostru produs sa nu moara, am primit acordul sa il duc mai departe cum vad eu de cuviinta. Nu am avut resurse sa ma ocup cum mi-ar fi placut dar am reusit, cu ajutorul lui Apostol Victor, sa il repun pe picioare – adica sa reparam pluginurile de cautare care incetasera sa functioneze si sa eliminam pluginurile retelelor care nu puteau fi reparate.

Peepler.ro cauta dupa adresa de email pe cateva siteuri ([not so] social networks): Hi5, Flickr, Picasa, MySpace si Gravatar. Nimic inovator – doar un pic mai eficient decat sa efectuezi cautarile respective manual. Marele avantaj? Adresa de email e unica – rezultatele gasite apartin cu siguranta persoanei pe care o cauti. Care e ideea? Peepler.ro te ajuta sa pui o fata langa o adresa de email, te ajuta sa cunosti un pic mai bine persoana cu care urmeaza sa interactionezi (pe email sau face2face).
Dupa ce am anuntat resuscitarea Peepler, pe Twitter – am fost contactat de cei de la Radio Guerrilla pentru un mini interviu. Iata ce-a iesit:

Countryside HDR
Mar 24th
This Saturday we visited my wife’s grandmother, at 80km from Bucharest, in picturesque village of Grindasi, Romania. Could not resist the temptation to try out more the HDR technique, and this part of what I manage to process, since our return.
BUCIUM – event pictures
Mar 3rd
The concert from last Friday was a great success – the sound was top quality (although the drums were a little to loud), the public was ecstatic. You can buy "Voievozii" album from Carturesti and Muzica stores in Bucharest and very soon in online stores. You can also listen to Bucium songs on the band’s myspace page.
Here are some pictures from BUCIUM first official concert and "Voievozii" album release.
Playboy Party in 2006

Here are some pictures from the Playboy Party 2 years ago, just to compare them to the pictures from last night.
Bucharest Playboy Party – event pictures
Feb 28th
As I promised here are pictures from the Playboy Party last night. The party was very crowded and Palace Colosseum proved to be to small to hold the numerous crowd of Playboy fans and Playmates. There was a drawing for some places as a copilot in the FIA GT – Bucharest City Challenge 2008 – Calin Fusu is one of the winners
. Here is the full set of pictures.

The scary Peppers from Auchan
Feb 21st
I went shopping the other day and I could not resist the temptation to take some pictures of some nice vegetables. What you can see bellow are HDR images made from a single RAW shot and not from multiple exposure shots. I don’t even know if you can call them real HDRs, but what I’ve noticed is that this technique is good for scenery/landscapes and not for objects or people.
The funny part is that some poor-ass employee from the market told me pretty roughly that I am not allowed to take pictures of the products. No shit! Where’s the sign that enforces that? Aren’t you supposed to be happy that I am taking pictures of your nice products and post them online together with a nice review of your store? No? Ok then, here are some really non commercial pictures of your "products". Enjoy!
The market name is Auchan (Bucharest). Don’t go there, they have some pretty scary looking peppers.
More HDR in Bucharest
Feb 20th
I’ve been playing along with HDR some more. I am not very happy with the results and I’m looking forward for the weekend to try out some daylight scenery. Side effect of discovering this technique together with the “insert Flickr Image” plugin for Window Live Writer that now I am the happy user of a Pro Account on Flickr.
Criticism is highly appreciated!
HDR in Bucharest
Feb 20th
Inspired by Stuckincustoms and Sofokle I decided to try out HDRi technique. This is my first attempt to create some HDR images and I know that I’ve still got a lot to learn. All images are taken from the rooftop of my office building, next to Piata Universitatii, Bucharest. For those new to HDR – this is a technique that enables you to enlarge the exposure range you can have with only one shot. In short, what you do is overlap 3 or more different shots taken with different exposure levels. You can do this very easy with almost any dSLR, with exposure autobracketing.
Comments are appreciated!
