Empowered By The High Dynamic Range Technique

It was a night of shooting with the stars. We went out for dinner and then walked all around the riverfront to indulge in our new-found interest – taking photos with different exposure settings and then applying the HDR technique on them. This method allows photos to be taken, tone-mapped and later post-processed in such a way as to enhance different aspects of the image – colour, lighting, contrast, tone etc. In other words, the technique helps to bring out the best in each photo. No more unwanted shadows and overexposed highlights. No more flat images. I’m a total convert.

Cantonese Chilli Oil Version One

Cantonese Chilli 1

This is a type of chilli oil that’s commonly found in Chinese restaurants, as a condiment for Chinese and/or Cantonese dishes like dim sum, noodles, pork dumplings etc. They are typically marked by the tremendous amount of oil in which the chilli flakes are soaked. My first version here includes part dried and part fresh chilli. I’m already planning to make a 2nd version which uses even more dried chilli to see if it makes for an even more authentic Cantonese chilli oil recipe. 😉
