DCR 1540 is a tele converter from Raynox. Multiplies the focal length by 1.54X. So makes my 420mm into a 660mm. Basicly gives me more reach. This is the link to Raynox site.
For HDR, this is what I do.lastboltnut said:
Set up tripod and frame the scene.
Meter the scene, so I know what my average exposure is.
Switch to manual mode, set the apature to the metered value. Set shutter to a value that is at least twice of the metered one.
Snap picture.
Set shutter to the metered value.
Snap picture.
Set shutter to half metred value.
Snap picture.
You get the idea...
What you need to do is expose all the dark parts, with the bright parts being over and expose all the bright parts, with the dark parts being under. I normally use anything from three to five exposures.

The moon shot was HDR, but you cannot really tell. Just realised that I have yet to post any normal HDR pictures.... Have some IR ones, but you cannot really see the effect there. Will go home and upload some, if I find any that I like.lastboltnut said:Yah, I did that.....I had 5 exposure....but when I merge them, I dun use all, I try and see which combination is nice....but still, it looks like long exposure pic to me......you have any HDR to show sample?

Got ur idea
But how do u merge the 3 pics together. Sori i am a noob :sweat: :sweat:
Step 1:
i) Using Canon S3IS Set Dial to Program
ii) Press FUNC and choose AEB -> SET -> Exposure -2 0 +2
iii) Use a FIRM TRIPOD and aim your target (still target best).
Snap Snap Snap
UnderExposed (-2)
Normal (0)
OverExposed (+2)
Combine the photos
Either use Photomatix (http://www.hdrsoft.com) or photoshop CS 2 ( Only CS 2 has that function ) Depending on algorithm... U have to wait 5~30mins for it to process the image (took me 10mins PC)...
HDR Image
This isn't really that nice of a image... just randomly shoting out of my flat (20th floor) and i got the ISO setting too high + Haze (cough).
From what i read from the internet... ISO of lesser then 200 is best. Also u can only change exposure level by changing the shutter speed. If you change ISO or Aperture, the Depth of Field or ISO noise will cause problems to the image... U can use 2 or more images, the more the merrier (provided it's still and on a tripod + exposure are at least 1 stop part).
Here's another HDR example http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrtang/209856107/ (5 images into 1 HDR image)
