PHOTOGRAPHY HDB flats. "Symmetry". Blk 152B Bishan St 11 for the elderly.
Bright morning sunshine is the best for good photography, not overcast skies and rainy days.
Canon R5, AV, ISO 400, 32MM, f11, 1/80 SEC. 30 Nov 2023, 9.53am



HDB’s Blk 152B, Bishan St 11, Singapore. 1-room flats sold to the elderlyBuilt in 2010. Well maintained and lots of greenery for seniors.

Symmetry. Photos of HDB flats that are symmetrical are impossible to find. This almost symmetrical image is attractive but hard to find. This is my 2nd sighting of an almost symmetrical photo of buildings. My focus is on the 2-seater bench from the 8th floor common corridor of Blk 152B, Bishan St 11 which is a block of studios and 2-room flats sold to seniors.



Many live alone and in isolation as their peers have had passed on. A well maintained environment and flat promote mental wellness. Credit must go to the government?

PHOTOGRAPHY cafe - tcc. Which is the best angle?

For commercial purpose, the best angle should show its name well.

Any comment about the coffee, food in tcc? I have not been inside tcc since it was launched in 2003 as a boutique cafe! This branch looks good to meet for coffee as it is bright and spacious. But is the coffee good?

PHOTOGRAPHY SUBWAY STATION from hotel room in Taipei.


Luck plays a part in getting good stock photo. I was staying in The Howard hotel, Room 626 which faces this good angle of the Zhongxiao Fuxing Station MRT.
I need good sunny morning, tripod and use TV mode. A train or two will make the photo attractive (see Photo 2).

4967. PHOTOGRAPHY tips: The Sponge Gourd in a private house garden.

 PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Use TV as there is a breeze.


Canon R5, TV, Handheld, ISO 1000, f/4.5, 1/500 sec, 37mm.
23 Nov 2023, 8.40 am. Bright sunny morning. Lentor Loop private house garden. Red ants.


Luffa cylindrica var. insularum

COMMON NAMES:

Sponge Gourd, Dish-cloth Gourd, Smooth Loofah

There are no gourds like the Sponge Gourd! Not only can the young tasty fruit be cooked and eaten, the fibrous mature fruit can be used as a natural sponge. The high shock and water absorbency of these fibres allow for its infinite use, ranging from general cleaning, cosmetics, biofilters to machinery insulation.

Fauna Pollination Dispersal Associated Fauna

Bee-Attracting

Pollination Method(s)

Biotic (Fauna) (Insects (Bee))

Luffa cylindrica  is a very fast growing climber. Its leaves are 7 - 20 cm across and have three lobes. Flowers are bright yellow with 5 petals.  The fruits which grow to about 60 cm in length are oblong or cylindrical, smooth and contain many seeds. The fruit is brown when mature and dries on the vine to develop an inedible sponge-like structure.

 

Economic and other uses

The dry fruit of Luffa cylindrica  can be used as a sponge. Young green fruits can be boiled and eaten as a vegetable.

Environmental and other impacts

This species is capable of invading disturbed areas.

 PHOTOGRAPHY - Frangipanis in the afternoon shade. Use TV as there will be breezes.
Canon R5, 105mm, TV. 1/500 sec, f/4.5, ISO 160. Bright afternoon indirect sunlight. Slight breeze.
20 Nov 2023, 2pm
Use 1/500 sec will be OK.

A new crop of frangipanis bloom outside T2, Changi Airport. This tree is well maintained. No black spot blemishes. External influences cause brown patches on petals. Many fall off with no blemishes. Is it due to climate change? Why?
