Raise the red lantern
I really like these bright red lanterns at Hap Chan (Chinese for 'gathering place'), a Chinese restaurant that has several outlets in Metro Manila and beyond. I used the 'accent color' feature of my camera—it lets you choose one color to focus on and bleaches the rest of the scene into monochrome. While shooting, not processing after the fact. Pretty smart for such a little thing. I wonder if its sensitivity can be adjusted…

Hilda, I really like this shot. The red is so vibrant against the black and white. Yes, a pretty smart camera indeed.
Lovely, lovely lanterns! Shey shey! Zaichen
Beautiful blending of colors! Great decors for a restaurant!
Very good photography indeed.
Smart little camera! This is a stunning photo...the lanterns are so sharp and the colors so vibrant. Fun shot!

Very nice effect. The lanterns are really beautiful.
These red lanterns would be recognized as fitting decor for a Chinese restaurant anywhere in the world. My wife (Julie of Scottsdale Daily Photo) and I have Chinese art and antiques in the family room of our Scottsdale house and we recently repainted the room in a Chinese red, although not as vibrant as these lanterns.
What a cool feature in a camera. I really like the way this came out. I hope you enjoyed the meal there too.
The color really stands out! Beautiful!
des lanternes de noël ;) elles ont une couleur magnifique
Not a real fan of any effect, but you did this right. The image is lovely and perfect.
I'm not a big fan of such lanterns in a home, but I do love your photo! The contrast of the red and grey is wonderful!
I love how you frame this laterns. i also love the color contrast.
Excellent shot Hilda. I love that red!
It's so beautiful!
I think there are others little lamps around it to help about spreading the lights!

The "accent color" feature worked very well, I like very much the result. Great photo.
Very good, Hilda! Very nicely done!
It's pretty impressive, big city living affords so much eye candy. You just have to look up!
I like chinese lanterns and your photo just shows why! :-)
The red of the lanterns against the grey/white is a beautiful contrast. Great picture.
Red lanterns seem to be the symbol for chinese restaurants everywhere. Do you know why?
Beautiful colors! I love the vibrant red.

Rob (and Mandy):
They seem to be the symbol for Chinese anything. The Chinese themselves use red lanterns a lot, so I guess it was just natural.
Really? There is a button like that?!
Hilda that is a really neat feature. And the results it produces are brilliant!
This is why I love colour red so much because it stands out in the crowd.
