Father's Day dinner last night. Pork ribs and Buffalo wings, corn and chat potatoes and rockets salad.




1. FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
Original Poco X3 pro phone photo: Father’s Day Dinner in Australia. Excellent composition, but body parts are a distraction

2.  FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS - BODY PARTS IN PHOTO (Arrow) and in the uncropped image which is very attractive to viewers.  Poco x3 Pro smart phone cropped in the middle and viewed at 100%.  ORIGINAL IMAGE.

3.  FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS - NO BODY PARTS IN PHOTO
Poco x3 Pro smart phone viewed at 100% and photoshopped.  
Arrow shows that it is extremely difficult to erase the “body”  of a person to pass it as stock photo. It has excellent composition and is AUTHENTIC (as forks and knives are at different angles!).

Blacktown is a large city that includes many suburbs. It is 60 km N E of Sydney and about one-hour train or car drive to Sydney.


1.2  HISTORY - WHY IS ITS NAME "BLACKTOWN"?


of dark-skinned migrants staying together. Aborigines, Colonials from Britain, Africans, Indians, Asians nowadays.
1.2  What is an enclave? Enclaves like South Koreans, China nationals, Greeks.

2.  How does it compare to Singapore? Examples. Singapore has 4 main languages, but Blacktown has more diverse nationalities and languages.

Wed 7 Sep 2022.

This morning walking around the city of Blacktown.  This is the lower income part of town. 

Videos taken 9-10AM on Wed 7 Sep 2022. Blacktown "CBD".  Blacktown is a historic name for a large city that includes many suburbs. It is 60 km N E of Sydney and about one-hour train or car drive to Sydney.

A great diversity of migrants from Africa, middle East, ASEAN, Hong Kong, China and others. All are qualified migrants as nowadays. A$6000 sponsorship for PR and a job are needed before one is "invited" to apply for PR. Even Australian graduates need a job to stay, otherwise he is asked to leave.

Certain parts of Sydney have enclaves e.g. South Koreans, China nationalities, Hongkongers.

At one time, there was a referendum to change the name of "Blacktown" but the name is retained for historic reasons. Original natives were aborogines. 


The city of Blacktown covers many suburbs.  It's name was derived primarily from lots of dark-skinned migrants such as Nigerians, Africans, Indians, islanders living there. Was a notorious crime and drug district, but nowadays pretty much cleaned up. Basically a residential district where lots of new developments have emerged.  

 

Colebee and golf areas are also under the township of Blacktown.

Not a tourist destination unlike Singapore.

4052. PHOTOGRAPHY. Small red flowers. Tripod. f/16

 

 



GOOD MORNING SWEETHEARTS - Greetings for couples - adults, children, grandchildren etc.

FONTS - Curlz MT, TWIST

5 SEP 2022:
Photography Tips. Use AV, f/16


1. Tripod must be used.
2. Canon R5, 24-105 lens. AV Mode.
3. Focus on first 1/3 distance on the red flower, not the nearest flower.1. Tripod is necessary to get such sharp images
2. No breezes
3. Good morning sun, indirect sunlight
4. I used Aperture Mode. ISO 100 and f/16.  f/16 gives  sharper front and back images (more depth of field) than f/8 or f/4.

4050. PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS. Photographing a small flower bud

4 Sep 2022. Lentor St Playground. 9 AM. Shaded plant with a purple bud and pale silvery leaves now planted more by the National Parks Board in public gardens.

Canon R5. Tripod is useful for sharp images as hand-held is not going to give such sharpness. P Mode, ISO 100, save me time as compared to keying in aperture and shutter speed settings, exposure compensation.

4049. A very itchy old Shih Tzu needs to be Elizabethan-collared

HOOK 

A very itchy old Shih Tzu needs to be Elizabethan-collared for months. I knew him as a puppy 14 years ago. The family had moved house and so we lost contact. The father wanted to buy a bottle of Banocin powder from me as he found it useful to treat the right hind dew claw ULCER. Another vet had prescribed it and an Elizabethan collar.

FOUR MONTHS OF home treatment. Two seizures. The Shih Tzu was already 14 years old and should be enjoying his winter years of life without the pain, inflammation and an uncomfortable Elizabethan collar 24 hours a day.



NARRATE OVER THE VIDEO BELOW.  Before consultation with Toa Payoh Vets. Always had an E-collar for many weeks. Video of him at:
