Yangon taxis

1/3 of photo was cropped. An interesting iPhone image of two Yangon
taxis which look distorted in size. It is better to take normal
angles of taxis for stock photos and then other angles.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS from Dr Sing Kong Yuen
I took 3 images in succession, focusing on the lady's eyes. Zoom lens 18-200mm, Canon EOS 90D, P Mode.
Some photography magazines advise using
the Manual, Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority Modes. I find that
it was not possible to get good exposure due to lack of professional
experience in the settings and the very short duration of time to
take this photo.

THE TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release) PROGRAM IN SINGAPORE.
Dr Sing
Kong Yuen, BVMS (Glasgow)
1. Culling the stray cat and dogs using the pest control companies and professional trappers paid on performance, shooting of stray dogs in the early 1980s or feeding them poisoned food have been practised in Singapore. Over the past years, kind individuals and NGOs (Non-government Organisations) and the AVS (Animal & Veterinary Service) have successfully executed the TNR Program.
2. The TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release) Program involves the
following:
2.1 Cat trappers are either volunteers or
professionals who use the cat trap cage to entice the cat with cat
food to trap them.
2.2 Cat welfare activists who are volunteers will transport the stray cats to and fro this clinic for this service.They may be cat trappers as in these two videos.
2.3 A veterinary clinic that participates in the TNR (Trap Neuter Return) program provides low-cost sterilisation of the stray cats.
The two videos show the kindness of an individual --- a
70-year-old woman (VOL) who operates her TNR program for the past 20
years.
