4031. PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: A watchful young cat in Phuket. Grabfood delivery rider. Eye contact. TV mode.


Stray cats are rare in Phuket's Patong Beach and villages, as in Singapore. My reason is that the government has had eliminated them contracting pest control companies to net them and get rid of them. 

This young cat was relaxing on the road in Mida Grande Resort which has low occupancy in the off-peak season of August. He scurried to hide inside the leafy hedge. Totally safe and invisible. 

He sprinted out to the steps of the villa when I looked for him in the hedge to take a photo. I shook the leaves and he decided that the place was not safe.

 You can see that he is alert but at a safe distance. The afternoon sunlight lit up his eyes as I took photos. As I walked nearer, he quickly climbed up the steps and disappeared. So he sprinted out suddenly.


Be alert of the surroundings and people or employees. 

Photography can teach me lessons about real life too.

 

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS:

Canon R5, tv mode, 96mm, 1/2000 sec, f/4.5, ISO 320
9 AUG 2025. 6PM. 

I used Photoshop to highlight the lights in the eyes. 
Eye contact makes the photo attractive.

 THAILAND- 9 AUG 2025: A Grabfood rider makes eye contact with the photographer as he exits the Mida Grande Resort Phuket. Eye contact and professionally attired rider make a photo attractive to view.

 

Mida Grande Resort Phuket, 179/450 Had Surin Soi 4, Moo 3, Chwengtalay, Thalang, Phuket 83110, Thailand.

 




 

 

 If you view his eyes, they are red (not white) as he must be sweating in his face mask and thick shirts. He takes pride in his profession by buying the Grabfood jacket from the internet. There are actually people selling beautifully designed Grabfood jackets for such characters who want to look good and beautiful and give an excellent first impression! Probably a big online market for such attire?

 

Canon R5, tv mode, 98mm, 1/2000 sec, f/4.5, iso 1000

I waited for the Grabfood to exit the Resort, focus on this face and got this photo.
