4339. iPhone 10 image of Bishan Park 2 at 7.39 am

 Good morning. Thank you to Mr T T Wong. 

 

A tranquil scene of Bishan Park 2 with iPhone 10. Photo by T T Wong. Jogger (left) shows the trees are high. Pagoda roofs of North Bishan flats add interest to the suburban park photo. Tranquil scene is seen especially when WhatsApp image is small. 

A large image shows some blurring of the trees, probably due to slight shaking of hand when pressing the shutter.

It will make a good home wall print if it is sharper and more to the left to show the bend of the jogger's track.

My comment is that 3 images should be taken so that a sharper one can be selected.
I use photoshop to sharpen the image but can't do it as it was originally not as sharp.

This is JPEG image so on this Super resolution works

Great. So this way you can enhance the quality as well as increase the dimention as needed in shutterstock.

You are correct. Please give me the steps to do. Should I use Ënhance?

Enhance has multiple options specifically designed for RAW files. For JPEG files only super resolution will work. So your workflow will be this

> add the photo in LR
> apply Super resolution ( enhance )
This should automatically increase the dimension above 2000 for most of the images.
> Export settings > Choose 100% quality > Dimension short size = what you want.

"Dimension short size"" --what is the minumum I can use? 2000 px or more

Date: 2025-12-07 23:38:33 PST
From: Vijay (Adobe) To: Everyone
You can use any number you want. You'd see it's dimension right there. If it's already more than 2000, you don't need to change it. But if it's below, choose short size as 2000.

Date: 2025-12-07 23:38:58 PST
From: Vijay (Adobe) To: Everyone
Choosing short size as 2000 will make width as 2000 and length will be more according to the Aspect ration automatically.

4335. Taxiway bridge Changi Airport over Airport Boulevard

 

Yes, planes cross a bridge at Changi Airport as a taxiway bridge over Airport Boulevard. This view is a popular subject for aviation enthusiasts, with the "South Cross Bridge" being a specific, frequently photographed taxiway that goes over the road. 

• What it is: The bridge is part of the airport's taxiway system, allowing planes to move between different parts of the airfield without having to wait for or cross active roads.
• Why it's notable: The design is visually striking, especially with planes crossing over the road. It's a popular spot for plane spotters, particularly at sunset.
• Notable incidents: In 2017, a tow tug caught fire while pulling a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 across this bridge, causing damage to the aircraft.
• How to see it: You can sometimes see this view from aircraft during taxiing, or from designated viewing areas around the airport and nearby public areas.

4336. Photography tips: Sunrise Orchid Country Club

 2 NOV 2025:  7.24AM

SHARING PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS OF SUNRISE
by Dr David Sing

Sunrise at the Orchid Country Club at 7.24am,  on a clear morning with blue skies and white clouds is a very serene experience as the radiant energy of yellow, gold and orange rays paint the landscape.

Photography of the rising sun can be tricky owing to the extreme brightness of the sun. In this case, the Galaxy S23 Ultra did created a very beautiful landscape photograph of the Orchid Country Club at sunrise.

To make an attractive photo, position the sun at the junction of the "rule of thirds" as I had done in this case. This is necessary if you wish to emphasize the sun (photo 2).

Both photos are uploaded for educational purposes.

The original photo was not so attractive (photo 1)  but it has the tall tree on the left.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIP: Vehicle wrap advert for Mei Heong Yuen Dessert truck. Use TV mode

I took this photo from the passenger seat of a car.
Two shots using the TV mode. This shot is sharp.

Focus on the truck’s dessert adverts. Take multiple shots and you may get one good sharp image.

If you use AV mode, you may not get sharp images as you and your target are moving on the
Pan Island Expressway.

Canon R5, tv mode, auto ISO.
28mm, 1/2000 sec, f/4, ISO 160

4331. Video. Aircraft pushback tractor

 

 

An aircraft pushback tractor is a specialized vehicle used to push or tow an aircraft away from a gate or parking bay, allowing it to taxi to the runway without using its own engines. 

These tractors are low-profile, powerful, and maneuverable, connecting to the aircraft's nose landing gear with either a tow bar or a towbarless system. 

They are crucial for airport ground operations, as large aircraft cannot easily reverse on their own. 

 

 

 

How it works

• The tractor connects to the aircraft's nose landing gear using a tow bar or a towbarless system.
• The driver communicates with the pilot via radio to coordinate the pushback.
• The tractor then pushes the aircraft backward to a point where the pilot can start the engines and begin taxiing to the runway.
• Tractors can also be used to move aircraft between different locations at an airport, such as to a maintenance hangar. 
•  
• ===========================
•  

  After all servicing activities are finished, aircraft needs to get back on the runway to take off, however, it first needs to reverse itself from the aircraft stand. This is where the pushback tractor comes in.

  A towing hook attaches its one end to the aircraft and the other end to the pushback tractor. The driver receives a go ahead signal from Pilot and begins the pushback operation.

  It pushes the aircraft back and also steers it so that the aircraft ends up in correct position on the taxiway (a connecting pathway between aircraft stand and runway).

  Pilot then gives an okay to disengage signal to the pushback tractor driver at which he unhooks the towing bar and steers the pushback tractor away from the aircraft.

   

  ---------------
  Changi Airport has the aircraft pushback tractor. It is either the tow-bar or towbarless system either to pull or push the aircraft.

  The towbarless system clamps directly onto the aircraft's nose wheel lifting it slightly off the ground for pushback together with the pilot.

  
  New development includes the electric pushback tractor for lower emissions and quieter operation.
