don think it'd burn down anything..unless u have really really tall building there...coz when its bloated..it rises very quickly..less than 10sec its already higher than 2-3 floor building..when it drops the fire goes off already..how to burn houses...but again.thats provided u know what u r doing..if u wanna play it in the jungle where trees r everwhere..well i guess its not the lantern fault..lol..

@kevinwcw
any specific adjustment u did on the photo?other than contrast/exposure..

Ok, back to photography.

Question...do u guys alwiz turn on DRO n HDR? If not, when or do u guys uses it?

I guess you need to know well about two of the function on A550

DRO and HDR were similar actually in some sense

for DRO (Dynamic Range Optimizer)

Just my self opinion ... tongue.gif
- Allows to pull up the lighten up the dark shadow or lower down the high exposed highlights just like HDR but not significantly strong as it
- Allows to use to fire in continuous shooting and shutter priority and also works on RAW
- Has 5 Lv. to adjust (from weak to strong effect)
- As the level, the more you goes, the more noise will gain
- As the level again, the more you goes, the more color distortion will gain too (as I found out red, orange and yellow shows very obvious color distort on level 4 and level 5 DRO)

for HDR (High Dynamic Range?)

Again my self opinion .... XD
- Uses 2 picture (meaning 2 shutter) combines into one for creating the dynamic range effect
- Like DRO making up the dynamic range however HDR has much stronger effect
- Compared to DRO, the shooting on HDR has less noise effect on high EV (2.5~3.0EV) settings but more visible Chromatic Aberration (CA)
- 2 Shutter still proves certain of problem on slow shutter speed because it will record 2 different motion at the same time so it makes HDR unlikely to use on fast motion or even the moving object
- HDR doesn't compatible on RAW and Continuous Shooting

Seng_Kiat: Have you remembered to remove the plastic tab that blocks the battery from its contacts? Are you blocking the IR sensor on the camera grip?

What happened to mine though, is that I left the remote in the bag and it got pressed all the time in the bag, so the battery died. However it definitely worked before.

d4rkholeang3l: It's either too tight (the items in the background have been cropped) or you could stand further away and zoom in to get a cleaner background.

eddybeh: Ohhh. I'm not familiar with this custom, but the way you describe it... maybe a picture with them standing over the flame, looking at it? Then at least we know there is something in the flame.

#5 - yes weird framing.

achew: Interesting lantern shot; I like how the guy on the left touches the frame, but the guy on the right fades into darkness. Would be cool if both faded into darkness.

kevinwcw: Nice shot, it shows the kid's mischievousness. Traditionally people would prefer to focus on the eye closer to the viewer but it's okay, if you're okay with it.

cjlai: Many - RectFish, PTLens, GIMP, DxO - have not tried looking in Photoshop or the common RAW processors.

Shot with the Peleng 8mm F3.5 and 2x teleconverter (for an equivalent of a diagonal fisheye), then de-fished in DxO Optics Pro.

The left pillar in the orange atrium is distracting, though - fisheyes mean you gotta get in the center of everything. I like the escalator shot though.

destfull: Aiyo LOL.

I stopped playing games when I had more pictures to process, and found them to be more fun than games. I feel more productive when I'm not playing games.

You need to say to yourself "I will only play once I have done this chapter of studies". And that is how I played only one game (NFS Shift) and took over 2 months to finish it!

Back in college, I would take breaks by playing Spider Solitaire - bad idea. So even a Mac won't save you if you decide to open MSN/YM/GTalk. You have to be in control of yourself.

Plus you can make a side income from your camera, but not so with playing games (unless you're really good). Your i7 already has more photo processing power than a Mac at the moment.

Anyway I like the mood in #1 #3 #4 and #5. Try to reprocess your file to expose the burned fella and overlay him into the existing picture.

ieR: A850/A900 in APS-C crop mode is 11 megapixels. Yes, not practical.

Honestly looking at the specs of an iMac 27" and considering I bought a much more powerful PC for half its price I am glad. If your PC is sufficient there is no need for it really.

signither: No idea, you'd be the first to find out.

ahmike89: #1 #2 #3 all are a bit too tight (or loose, depending how you look at it.)

aqiera: Nice #1 especially due to the inclusion of the tourist! I like the mood of #3 also.
