PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Moving cyclists in Yangon. iPhone 14 image not sharp. What to do?

Recreational cyclists in Yangon, Feb 2024. iPhone 14. Image of cyclist nearest to viewer is not sharp at 100% view. Therefore, it is a learning experience for the young male photographer. 

He should have taken multiple shots, hoping to get one sharp image. Is there a “burst mode” in iPhone 14? Ask the iPhone dealer for advice or research on the internet.

In my Canon R5,

1. There is the "burst mode" in AV Mode, whereby I press the shutter and take several shots. I focus on the face of the leading cyclist (one nearest to me). Then I hope to get one sharp image out of the 3 or more shots. 

2. I use TV Mode which is shutter priority. I focus on the face of the leading cyclist and click several shots. This camera has the single point focus (onto the face of the cyclist) and usually I get a few sharp images. 

For iPhone 14, it should have similar functions which require more learning! Most people cannot be bothered!  Practise every day, take at least one shot, find out why your shot is not sharp or good. Your skills will improve within one year!

33. Healthcare. Diabetes. Don't forget your insulin injections

 Healthcare. Diabetes. Don't forget your insulin injections

A donated piano in the public area of the Food Court of Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Suddenly, a slim white-haired man sat on the stool and played for the public. There was no crowd. He played good music but my iPhone 10 could not record well. He did forget some parts at one stage and apologised. 

 

I was visiting a 73-year-old friend who was warded and treated for gangrenous toes at this Hospital. He was thin and bald after suffering from two treatments and operations to amputate his 2 gangrenous toes. He had not been injecting insulin daily as instructed. 

 

Here are two Seniors with sound minds and memory. No dementia. What a world of difference in their lives. I am also an elderly man at 73 years of age and am in good health so far. 

 

The morale of my story is that one has to take care of one's health especially during one's senior years. How to do it is to research and read widely on healthcare for the Seniors. Good health monitoring starts from the young adulthood but Seniors can do much prevention of health deterioration like diabetes and hypertension with good medical advices and compliance to medication and a healthy diet. 

 

Enjoy the piano music. Take care of your health.

Take the staircase to strength your leg muscle mass,
preventing sarcopenia but almost all able-bodied persons use the escalators 

Take the staircase, not the escalators to strengthen your leg muscles


Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by loss of muscle mass, strength, and function in older adults. Signs and symptoms include weakness, fatigue, loss of energy, balance problems, and trouble walking and standing.

 ADVICES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE - A window of opportunity opens briefly.

Dr Sing Kong Yuen, BVMS (Glasgow).

25 Feb 2024.

Merdeka 118 is 118 storeys high. At 678.9 meters tall, the Merdeka 118 is currently the tallest skyscraper in Malaysia, but it is the 2nd tallest building in the world.

The building has been architecturally topped out in 2022 and finally completed in November 2023. I share my accountant, Mr Peter Leow's interesting photo of Merdeka 118 building in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, taken from another hotel at around 8am on 17 Feb 2024. 

 

The photo from his iPhone 15 Max is interesting as it has clouds and golden streak in the sky directing the viewer towards the 118-storey skyscraper.  Hundreds of photos of Merdeka 118 in the  internet sites, but most are average.  I rate his photo as 5-stars.

Capturing such a photo depends on luck and your initiative as timing is very important. If you wait till you have breakfast, you will miss the opportunity to create this beautiful visual with your smartphone.

In photography, as in real life, the window of opportunity will open briefly and it is up to you to be aware of the moment which may never repeat itself.
