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.

4589. Sengkang Green Primary School Singapore - photogtraphy

 Inspired by the Tembusu tree, the school crest pictures a growing young tree which represents a growing child who is anchored in strong values, thriving in a fast-changing globalised world. The child, also represented by an open-book, is a life-long learner with a hunger for knowledge and excellence. The child is well supported by parents and teachers, forming a strong partnership in providing an all-round education, balancing the development of character and abilities.

The logo is presented in 2 distinct school colours of green and orange. Green represents learning and growth of our children. Orange represents vibrancy in our children who hold the key to the future of our nation.

 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.
