Some secrets of the Nikon D300.
The shutter lag on the D300 depends on the mode, 12 or 14 bits resolution. You should take this into account when designing with external shutters. The drawings show the results of the LA.
In 12 bit mode the shutterlag is about 53 msec. The external shutter can not open faster or you miss the shot. In 14 bit mode this time extended to 98 msec.
The speed of multiple shots depends ofcourse again from the 12 or 14 bit mode. practical the most usefull speeds are 6 pictures/sec for 12 bit mode and 2.7 for 14 bit mode. I like to set this speed at 2.5 picture/sec if I use multiple shots. This will work for both ADC settings.
But this timing are all for actieve display of the camera, If the camera is into standby, display off, you have to add 200 msec extra to the shutterlag. The worsecase timing for the shutterlag in 12 bit mode from sleep is about 253 msec, for the 14 bit mode this is near 300 msec.
Using an external shutter can not go open before this minimum shutterlag. Ofcourse this delays are only to charge for the minimum startup value. If you are waiting for a trigger once this minimum time expires, you only have to deal with the external shutter-lag. For one of the fastest shutter, the Uniblitz VS14, this time is near 3.5 msec. Once the startuptime is passed the flash can be driven near 4 msec after activation of the external shutter.
Now how fast the shutter release after the shutter command? Well not fast at all! If you are in manual mode, minimum startup time passed, and you release the shuttercommand then only after 77 msec the camera close the shutter. I had hoped this time would be very short but that is not true. You can not shorten the opening time between external and internal shutter through this methode.

This richly decorated manuscript chronicles an account from the creation of the world up to 138 BCE. It was illuminated by associates of Loyset Liédet and Willem Vrelant, and was completed, likely in Bruges, ca. 1470-80. The book itself is a fine example of secular books that were in demand by aristocratic patrons in the southern Netherlands during the third quarter of the fifteenth century. Along with an expansive decoration program, this world history also features key heraldic evidence. The most current armorial shield that was painted among an abraded surrounding area is that of Adolph of Burgundy, seigneur of Bevres, Vere, and Flissinghe. He was a member of the Order of the Golden Fleece as of 1516, following his father Philip of Burgundy, and his grandfather Anthony of Burgundy ("Grand Bâtard de Bourgogne," illegitimate son of Philip the Good). The decoration and its organization throughout the text embodies principles of hierarchical design and artistic collaboration typical of expansive pictorial programs in this type of secular text. Of particular note are the six large miniatures, one before major text divisions of the chronicle and each spanning across two columns of text. These illustrations are quite imaginative and varied stylistically. There is a visual emphasis on the Trinity as evinced by the frontispiece, which features a Creation cycle in six medallions. Along with the six large illustrations, six major text divisions, and six medallion Creation cycle, this manuscript recalls Augustinian tenets on Trinitarianism linked with the Six Days of Creation, the Six Ages of Man, and the Six Ages of the World.

This is one of a series of images I made with the Bing Image Creator, which is an AI image generator powered by DALL-E 3.
For most of these images I tried to combine multiple elements together into one, rather than creating a scene with multiple separate elements. This pushes the limits of what the AI model can do, and maximizes the amount of human control over the images. For example, I might use the text prompt ‘photo realistic snake plane made out of carbon fiber and gold’.
Here is my take on AI generated images vs. human made art: I think that the quality of AI generated images will NOT dramatically improve, even many years into the future. The ultimate goal of a creative image is to create a certain emotional state in the viewer. - Emotions themselves - are the main tool used to do this. A purely logic driven machine can only create a crude, generalized model of something meant to create a certain emotional state. When someone makes a piece of art, it is always some combination of using logic and emotions to guide the process. Remember that the ultimate goal is to create a certain emotional state in the viewer. Only having access to logic, but not emotions, will always create a very generic looking work. You need to actually be able to feel emotions to fine-tune the work beyond that, since creating emotions is the ultimate goal.
The main difference between an AI model and a human is not the difference in the power of the logic that can be deployed. The difference is that a human can feel emotions, which is key to creating an image (or text) made to create a certain emotional state. The logic that the best AI image generator models currently have seems to already be at the level of what the best human can do (based on some of the results I got, which was quite a shock). The results are still crude and generic compared to what a human can do, because the AI models have no access to emotions, which are the main tool for making and refining a creative work designed to create certain emotional states.
All creative work is built with a combination of logic and emotions (emotions should always be the main tool), and by not having direct access to emotions, a machine can only create crude, generic results. When I make music I always try and use emotions rather than logic to guide the process as much as possible, since creating a certain emotional state in the listener is the ultimate goal. The best AI models have an amazing ability to use logic to mix two different styles of images together since that is a logic driven process. They can’t make those images from scratch, since that is an emotion driven process, since it is all about creating certain emotions in the viewer.
Imagine you were a chef trying to develop a new dish, but you were not allowed to taste the food at any point as you made it. Your ability to determine the correct amount of salt and other seasonings would be very crude and limited. There would always be the possibility of a disaster happening, since you could not add a bit of seasoning at a time and taste it, so you would have to just dump it all in at once. This is the same idea of an AI model that is trying to ultimately create emotional states using sophisticated logic, but without having any access to emotions to guide the process.
The results will always be very generic looking, with the occasional unexpected gruesome image being returned. The power of the logic I have seen in some of the images I have created is quite shocking, but the results are still crude and generic compared to what a human can do, since the AI model is trying to create emotional states without being able to actually feel emotions itself, which is vital to creating emotional states through an image (or text).
The AI models have an amazing ability to combine multiple types of images together into one, but they have no understanding of what the individual elements they are combining together truly are. Again, this is because the individual images are designed to create certain emotional states, and an AI model has no ability to feel emotions, meaning it has no ability to understand them.
Having said all that, there is a good chance that the ability of humans to customize AI generated images will keep going up, and this will allow for this tool to create highly creative works close to what a human could do from scratch after all. I don’t think that the AI models will ever be able to do this by themselves with a simple button push though, as I have made the case for above. Also, I would expect that the number of images that are generated with a button push will keep going up and up.
Now, does making good AI generated images take talent? I say the answer is yes simply because these images are not all equal in quality. To create the best image in a set of 1,000 to 100,000,000 images, and to do so consistently, takes skill. You need to learn something from every single image you create about what the AI model does well and does not do well. You also need creative and artistic skills to come up with really good text prompts, in addition to this. The skills involved in this are similar to the skills involved in coming up with a great line in text, like in books, poems, speeches, scripts, ect. This is like abstract art. I know from experience that randomly applying different colors of paint never yields anything impressive. It takes a lot of talent to make good abstract art. Random combinations of words in text prompts will never create the results that highly targeted ones will, when it comes to AI generated images

On Thursday night at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio CA., undefeated featherweight Joseph “Jo Jo” Diaz (12-0, 8 KOs) beat the spirit out of veteran Roberto Castaneda (21-7, 15 KOs) over four rounds to easily earn a TKO victory. The South El Monte fighter dominated the action from the opening bell and fired off combinations that eventually broke down Castaneda. At the end of the fourth round, following limited activity by Castaneda, referee Raul Caiz Sr. asked the Mexicali fighter about the condition of his right hand. Then brought in the ringside physician who informed Castaneda’s corner -without much examination- that Castaneda had broken his hand and either they stop it or he would. Castaneda, who was never really in the fight was not allowed to answer the bell for the fifth round.
“El Camaron” Julian Ramirez (12-0, 7 KOs) earned a TKO victory over Pedro Melo (9-6-2, KOs) after four complete rounds. Ramirez dominated the action and eventually broke down Melo over the four rounds. A clash of heads opened up a cut over Melo’s left eye, leaving him unable to answer the call for the fifth round. Melo’s corner seemed to make the decision to not let their fighter continue.
“The Golden Kid” Diego De La Hoya (8-0, 6 KOs) scored a fifth round KO over Ali Gonzalez (6-4, 1 KO) in a bout scheduled for six. De La Hoya scored a flash knockdown in the second and finished it in the fifth. A right uppercut stunned the Mexican southpaw and sent him stumbling to the ropes, De La Hoya pursued and finished him off with a flurry of shots. Referee Raul Caiz Sr. stepped in at 1:40 and called a halt to the beating.
Seven-foot Chinese heavyweight Taishan (2-0, 2 KOs) stopped Tommy Washington Jr. (3-6, 2 KOs) in the first round of a scheduled four. A overhand right to the back of the head sent Washington down for the count. Referee Jack Reiss would reach the count of ten with Washington down on his knees. Official time was 2:35.
Lightweight Jesus Delgado (3-0, 1 KO) scored a dominate unanimous decision over Rick Quevedo (1-2) after four rounds. Scores were 40-36 all around.

International Computers and Tabulators Ltd (ICT) was established in 1959 from a merger between the British Tabulating Machine Company (BTM) and Powers-Samas Accounting Machines Ltd. ICT went on to produce a successful range of mainframe computers with international sales that rivalled those of IBM. Both ICT and later ICL, choose to specialise in the market for business mainframe computers used for commercial data processing but did not venture into computer systems for military defence or industrial process control.
During the early 1960’s, increased competition from American suppliers, particularly IBM, obliged British computer manufacturers to rationalise. Between 1959 and 1968 there was a flurry of mergers and take-overs, during which ICT acquired companies such as Ferranti Computers Division, English Electric, Leo Computers, Marconi Computer Division and Elliott-Automation. Under influence of the Labour government’s Industrial Expansion Act 1968, ICT was merged with the English Electric Leo Marconi Company (EELM) in 1968 to form International Computers Ltd (ICL). ICL in turn would become part of the Fujitsu group of companies in 2002.

ICT/ICL Timeline:
1959 – ICT formed by a merger between the British Tabulating Machine Company (BTM) and Powers-Samas Accounting Machines Ltd.
1960 May – The first ICT-1301 computer is sold to the University of London and having passed through ownerships and since 2012 has now resided in The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park). There it is kept in storage awaiting reassembly awaiting an exhibition space to house it, as it officially requires 700 square feet and weighs over 5 tons (thanks to Roger Holmes for providing this additional information 19th June 2024). The ICT-1300 series were among the first commercial mainframe computers to use germanium semi-conductor technology and magnetic core memory for Random Access Memory (RAM) data storage.
1962 July – EMI Electronics Ltd (Electronic Digital Computers Division) became part of ICT. EMI Computing had developed the EMIDEC range of computers of which the EMIDEC 1100 was later rebranded by ICT and marketed as the ICT 1101.
1964 – ICT purchased Ferranti Ltd (Computer Division) and developed their ICT-1900 series based on Ferranti’s FP6000 computer technology. The ICT-1900 went on to achieve international sales success, rivalling that of IBM’s System/360 computers.
1968 – ICT introduces its range of ICT-1900E computers.
1968 July – ITC merged with the English Electric Leo Marconi Company (EELM) to form International Computers Ltd (ICL) who continued to develop and manufacture the ICT range of computers producing the successful ICL-2900 mainframe series from 1974. The Industrial Expansion Act 1968 brought in by Harold Wilson’s government sought to promote British industry through mergers that were intended to streamline national productivity and achieve economies of scale to ensure better longer term viability for British industry. ICT benefitted from this when the government encouraged its merger with EELM to form ICL and from which the government retained a 10% shareholding. Government funding of to £50 million was also set aside for research and development at ICL.
1969 – ICT-1900A series introduced by ICL but the ICT name retained.
1984 September – ICL taken over by STC (Standard Telephones & Cables Ltd) who sought a convergence between telecommunications and the developing IT technologies of the late 80’s. However, this venture did not break any new ground and added to STC’s financial difficulties. It is ironic, but the convergence between telecommunications and computer technology did develop from the 2000’s and continues to flourish.
1990 – Fujitsu acquired an 80% shareholding in ICL for $1.29 billion (£734 million) with STC retaining the other 20%. Fujitsu would increase their shareholding percentage during the 90’s through the purchases of additional shares and further increase their control over the company.
1991 - STC (ICL) were bought as a going-concern by Northern Telecom of Canada (NorTel). ICL remained as an independent subsidiary of NorTel.
1991 - ICL purchased Nokia Data for £230 million, who were the computing division of the Finnish Nokia corporation. This gave ICL further benefits in the rapidly growing personal-computers (PC) and PC networking markets as well as greatly increasing their customer base in Scandinavian countries and Germany.
2002 April – ICL were rebranded as Fujitsu who dispensed with the ICL name and was fully subsumed into the Fujitsu group of companies. This effectively brought to a close Britain’s international role as a developer and manufacture of mainframe business computers.
