PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS. Weaver ants. Starfruit flowers.  Use tripod. AV Mode
13 Sep 2024

Weaver ant, leaves glued to make leaf nest. Larval silk is used to glue leavesl

A starfruit tree in garden of Lentor MRT Station. Starfruit flowers are very small, about 1 cm across. Pink. Many do not develop into starfruits. Red weaver ant seen. The white "glue" joining two leaves is larval silk. More leaves will be glued to form a leaf nest in this starfruit tree. The contractors keep pruning this tree, so the weaver ants will not be able to build their home. The contractors are like typhoons in this sense, destroying leaf nests.

Canon 103mm, 1/100sec, f/11, ISO 500. Manual, Tripod.

 PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS:

An aged Heliconia flower opposite a young one, Mayflower MRT Station Garden, 31 Aug 2023

Image inspired by my meeting a 55-year-old man who works from home
in his widowed 80-year-old mother’s HDB flat once weekly. His two children are grown up. 

He is in charge of the IT department of about 200 workers in Chennai and Bangalore for his financial institution.

"IT work is outsourced to India, nowadays as services are much cheaper than in Singapore," he told me.

4162. PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Yellow reflective glare of Yellow Ixora species.

 Bright afternoon sunlight onto some yellow flowers produce glare and over exposure. Reduce exposure compensation before capturing the photo.  Composition is not so good as there are many inflorescences.

PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE Bleeding Heart Vine at Jewel Changi Airport. Use tripod and AV.

The Bleeding Heart Vine (Clerodendrum thomsoniae) is an attractive ornamental vine and liana as it has dazzling crimson and white blooms and shiny green foliage. It blooms well in direct sunlight.

I find it difficult to get sharp photos using handheld camera at Jewel Changi Airport viewing gallery of the HSBC Rain Vortex. This image is taken with a tripod and it looks much better and sharper.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS - To get sharp images of Koch's bauhinia in breezy conditions - tripod, TV. Wait for swaying of flowers to stop. 

Koch's bauhinia (Bauhinia kockiana) is a climber with attractive orange inflorescences that gradually turn to yellow with age. It has tri-veined opposite leaves. Image - some leaves have been eaten by caterpillars.

Orange inflorescences turn yellow as they age.

Good morning. Koch's Bauhinia in T2 carpark, Changi airport. Very difficult to see sharp images of this inflorescence in the internet, including NParks'. This is because it is hard to focus on a flower with breezes or hand shaking. I used a tripod and wait for the breezes to stop swaying the flowers. The yellow flowers are "elderly" according to NParks' website, but in this image, a yellow flower looks younger than the orange ones!
