魚乾 Dried Fish / 中國飲食文化 Chinese Food Culture / SML.20131118.7D.51326
Drying fish is an age-old Chinese tradition. Seafoods are usually consumed fresh in Chinese cuisine. When you cannot finish them all, then you dry them under direct sunlight and they become some other form of delicacy.
This was photographed in Lau Fau Shan (流浮山), a fishing village in Hong Kong with the 7D + 100-400. Fishermen were seen drying the fish directly under the sun on the street near the market. The long lens renders a beautiful bokeh and allows the image to have an almost abstract quality.
