Using HDR technique we can combine the different exposures to create a single image that shows details in both sky and the land. A HDR photography can be created by taking few photos with different exposure, then combining them in the software into a high dynamic file. The last thing is to tone-map the HDR image so we can see it in our screen, print it, post on web and enjoy.

The book deals with the most popular and probably the most monumental form of the Hung Gar Kung Fu style. This form, known as "The Tiger and the Crane", was created in the late 19th century by Lam Sai Wing's teacher, an unrivalled master of Kung Fu Wong Fei Hung.
