Amateur Photographer 27 Mar 2021
Julio Munoz, Cuban documentary photographer
He uses Canon EOS 750D, 28mm f/2.8 lens. Very dependable, quick to use, light but robust.
In documentary photography, your subject s are humans. You are studying how they live, what they do, their hardships and triumphs. It gives the photographer the opportunity to better understand humanity, respect others and become a better person.

An emaciated factory dog stopped eating - yellow gums and eye whites.
This emaciated 6-year-old female factory dog stopped eating for the past few days. I checked her gums and eye white. They were yellowish, indicating jaundice. Blood test confirmed jaundice. Liver enzymes were elevated. ALT = 323 U/L - normal should be less than 59 normal. AST = 81 U/L normal should be less than 81. Although the total white cell count was normal, the neutrophils were 93.3%, absolute 9.89 x 10^9/L. Normal should be around 80%. The lymphocytes went down to 6%, absolute 0.65 x 10^9/L. Normal should be around 20%. There is a possibility of bacterial infections although the dog had no fever. X-rays showed hard lumps of stools which were palpable. The factory owner did not want further treatment other than Zentonil tablets for the liver and antibiotics. The dog was given IV drip with antibioitc. She ate during the one-day in-patient treatment and went home. UPDATES AT: https://2010vets.blogspot.com/2021/06/3608-factory-dog-has-yellow-gums-and.html

16 Jun 2021. ADVICES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. EARNING PASSIVE INCOME FROM DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS. Images 5/6
There are many sources of passive income from the internet but they involve much hard work of acquiring the necessary skills and perseverance to know what the global audience wants to buy.
I provide two examples:
1. Writing specialised topics like "how to" or romantic fiction in kindle. Unless you are a gifted writer whose words flow from each character once you sit down to write, you will need to research the craft of writing romantic fiction. You can always start with novellas.
2. Digital photography. I have been taking digital photographs in the early years of the world wide web as a hobby and for my "Be Kind To Pets" veterinary articles at www.toapayohvets.com and at www.bekindtopets.com. Also for my blog "Advices For Young People" e.g. https://advicesyoungpeople.blogspot.com/
For Example 1, I have not published any writing on kindle as I have to learn the technical aspects of e-books.
For Example 2, I can say I practise what I preach about earning a passive income from the internet using my digital photography skills.
Go to www.shutterstock.com/g/toapayohvets. I joined Shutterstock in Sep 2019 not knowing what Singapore residents and the global customers want. My topics include Be Kind To Pets, Animals and Wildlife. Singapore people, events, scenes, flora and fauna. Travel and street photography
As at 16 Jun 2021, my image portfolio has 974 images approved by Shutterstock. 141 images were downloaded by Singapore residents mainly from Singapore. Some residents in countries like the U.S, Britain, India, Japan, Netherlands bought an image or two. My income is US$27.12 from 141 downloads. You will think that the money is not worth the effort! But this is passive income for a start-up.
Shutterstock claims to have more than 370 million images as at 31 Mar 2021. Therefore, the global and local competition to sell stock images is intense.
My point is that I don't have to pay rental or any fees to Shutterstock. I do have to pay fees to list images or products in Shopify or Etsy.
Shutterstock has rejected many of my images for not being up to standard such as "not in focus" as I am still an amateur photographer. I learn a lot and improve my photography skills from such rejections.
The following image has been rejected as I was photographing a moving person. Yet I find that it is a good image of the renovations of The Esplanade at a point of time - the Covid-19 pandemic crisis.
I share the photo with viewers: (see instagram @davidsing1)
Focus: The main subject is out of focus or is not in focus due to camera shake, motion blur, overuse of noise reduction, or technical limitations of the equipment used (e.g. autofocus searching, camera sensor quality, etc).
I am acquiring digital photography skills in depth by being rejected. I am getting to know what the global customer wants. It will take time to succeed earning at US$0.10 per image downloaded.
