5025. PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Good composition makes a photo attractive. Night at Changi Airport.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Good composition makes a photo attractive.

For those who appreciate photos, this photo has good composition and tells a story of a busy airport, in my opinion.

You see a plane about to taxi (far end, background), while waiting for the other plane (R) to complete taxiing. You see the Cathay Pacific plane waiting for passengers while the SIA planes are parked in its home ground.

Canon R5, TV, 1/1000 sec, f/4.5, ISO 100, 33mm. Taken from inside my plane that was reversing.

5023. PHOTOGRAHY TIPS: Xiaomi smartphone image of Capsicum in Sydney, Australia.

 PHOTOGRAHY TIPS: Bright sunshine brings out sharp photos in Xiaomi smartphone and most smartphones. Problem starts with low lighting.

Xiaomi smartphone image of Capsicum in Sydney, Australia. Photo taken by George in his house garden. A flower of the Capsicum is seen too.
Fruits look very healthy. Three brown spots on a Capsicum were photoshopped away.

5018. PHOTOGRAPHY. A cosy coffee shop in Hong Kong

PHOTOGRAHY TIPS: Indoor cafe sharpness. Focus on EYE of waiter (R).
Canon R5, AV Mode, 1/5sec, f/11, ISO 400

One of those rare cosy coffee outlets I would like to meet up. It has the design and ambience to entice me to drink coffee inside the cafe. I am surprised that the overall image is sharp. You can see the text on the walls.

 Good morning. A photo of a drink in Hong Kong Pacific Coffee cafe on the eve of a wedding anniversary of decades brings back memories to the viewer. You can actually see the eye of the waiter and text of Pacific Coffee's mission on its walls.

See the red square on the wall. Pacific Coffee's motto (not mission) says "The Cup, The Thought, My Way", we strive to offer customers a total lifestyle experience. 'The Cup' – Brewing a quality cup from the heart '.

Happy recipients of the Wong Clan Association ("Wong" Chinese word on banner is seen) bursary awards holding their certificates are getting ready for a group photo. Proud parents look at them.
I focused on the 87-year-old lady whose sister was the "Birthday Girl" in the Hainan Group Tour.

One parent had white horizontal creases on the back of his brand new shirt. Committee members sat on a bigger table. Mr T T Wong (blue-red tie, on stage) is the Chairman of the Association. The herbal duck (table on R) did not look popular. A difficult photo to take due to different lighting scenes.

I focused on the 87-year-old lady whose sister was the "Birthday Girl" in the Hainan Group Tour. Photo at 3000 px, can be printed at 8" x 10".

S$800 = 50,000 rupees in India.

 

--------------------

Indian Male migrant workers are recruited by syndicates at Terminal 1, Changi Airport to carry gold jewellery over and above the following limits as they evade Customs duty in India.

1. Male Indian nationals. permitted to carry up to 20g of duty-free gold, of a maximum value of 50,000 rupees (S$800), into India.

2. Female Indian nationals. double in terms of weight and value.  

 

Singapore's gold is prized due to its quality. Gold smuggling in India spiked after the import duty of gold was raised in July 2022 to 12.5 per cent from 7.5 per cent.
