If it’s an obvious streetlight in the frame, I really don’t think it qualifies, sorry. Now if you took a shot of a wooden pole that happened to have a streetlight on top and you only photographed the pole itself without the streetlight in the frame, I think you’re ok.

in photoshop, when you save as a jpg, it gives you the option of the quality, which I’m sure affects the size.. you could probably “save as” and just adjust the quality down and get a smaller pic… who knows though, I’m no expert.

Thanks

Yeah, but the lighter did get more than 28 votes, so some people liked it.

I don’t think the theme was quite “find the beauty in something that isn’t commonly thought of as beautiful”, but more “find the beauty in something plain/common”. The first one would make a very cool theme, though.

On a side note, is this you? LoL…

I still havn’t figured out the entire point of HDR… but it seems like in order to use the benefits of it, one must be taking a picture where it is needed. If you’re taking a shot of something that can be properly exposed in one shot, then the HDR isn’t necessary… it’s needed for the ‘impossible’ shots where you physically cannot properly…
