4592. Create phone movies using the LANDSCAPE MODE.
12 Feb 2023. Sunday.
VIDEOGRAPHY TIPS:
Many smartphone users do not realise that
movies should be created in the landscape mode as opposed to portrait
mode. Landscape images align with the horizon line. The photo is
wider than it is tall, to capture the vastness of a natural setting.
This view is landscape orientation or horizontal orientation. An
example of a the Oaks Coffee Co. movie story using the landscape mode
is illustrated.

4590. A paddling red-eared slider stresses out the owner.
VET CASE. FINAL VIDEO 1/2. PADDLING SLIDER.
The
slider paddles her hind legs non-stop stressing the owner. What to
do? In Singapore, most red-eared sliders live in the tank as over 80%
of the population lives in apartments. An adult female slider can
stress out the owner if she paddles her hind legs non-stop. Day and
night. She has no appetite. The owner can't sleep in peace. What can
the owner do?
The owner consulted me at Toa Payoh Vets. The first thing to do is
to X-ray to check for eggs inside the abdomen as leg paddling is
often a behaviour of egg laying. But this slider lives alone. Still,
lone ones do produce and lay eggs.
9 Feb 2023. Fei Fei passed an egg inside the water. She had paddled for 2 days and had no appetite for 4 days. I advised X-ray to check if there are eggs retained and stuck inside the abdomen
In this case, she has no
eggs as evident in the X-ray. I advised the owner to give her space
for exercise. Fei Fei was cramped inside a small tank with a pink
stool as a basking platform.
The owner bought a much bigger tank. I
advised outdoor exercise and sunlight at least 30 minutes a day.
Water filtration and hand-feeding cooked prawns mixed with the usual
Nutrafin pellets. Multi-vitamins with calcium smeared onto the
pellets.
It took around 10 days. Fei Fei stopped paddling and
revert to her ravenous appetite. The owner was very happy.

Photography Tip: Use back focus at LFNK logo. Support your elbow on table top. Avoid the altar to the right of the logo as it will distract the viewer from the logo. Use F/16 as it puts the people in focus than F/8 or F/4. Canon R5. AV Mode. ISO 200, F/16. I don't know whether the smartphone will give this sharp photo.
