Pay phone| 公用电话
Camera | 相机: Samsung Galaxy S6 mobile phone.
Near to the fire hydrant I submitted in my last entry, there is this pay phone in Toa Payoh Central, Singapore, of which I took a photography. They are getting rare this days. So, I decided this should be the last entry for this edition. So, I made it black and white to submit for this contest.
靠近我上一个参赛照片里的消防栓，我在新加坡大巴窑中心看到这公用电话。我拍了张照片。 如今，这东西越来越少见了。所以，我决定这用这来提交为最后一张参赛作品。我把这个黑色和白色提交给这个比赛。
You can see there wasn’t a lot of colours to begin with.
你可以看到其实也没那么多色彩。
Let’s have a little fun with this. Guess what kind of cake this is and give a bit of description. I’ll choose on comment with the best description to win 1 steem.
让大家有一点点乐趣。 猜猜这是什么样的蛋糕，并给出一点描述。 我会选最好的猜测l来送出 1 steem.

@ace108 Very nice. The pay phones are getting old and rare. Your BW picture captures their antiquity. Unusual angle of the photo emphasises the form of the phone. Thanks for sharing. Upvoted.
Update at my end is that - Usually I write blogs about wildlife or travel photography but a stray dog and a crafty cat made me think of Dog/Cat person personalities and I wrote a blog about it with pictures and some stats. I request you to take a look when you have time and provide your valuable comments. Your comments enhance my Steemit experience. Thanks

You're welcome. It's still not a good as I wanted. I was waiting for some human walking pass being comparatively smaller than the handset. Thanks for your comment

Ahhh - If you had been able to capture that (human walking past), it would have been even more interesting. Perhaps you can try once again sometime. Thanks.

Love Vivaldi, so many feelings in the seasons. I like spring most and then summer. I have also an S6 and I find the camera gorgeous. Nice pictures by the way. Do you have the edge or the normal version? I have the edge but like more the normal one.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I like the Spring segment the most too. S6 is the phone I took over from my wife. I don't have the edge version and kind of not like that too. Her S8 is even more stunning with photos but you don't get to choose no edge, i.e., it's edge only. :-)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Ok, so you understand me with the Spring :)
Edge is a pain as I always click something with my inner hand which I don't want to. My ex-colleague form Huawei(I worked there till last year) had brought some interesting holding device with a finger behind the phone from China.
So next phone in 2 years shall be the newest S then for the camera. My wife has an iphone 6s but the photos are not that stunning as with the Samsung

We used to see these all over here in the States. Now I cannot think of where there is even one in use. How times have changed!

Yes, times has indeed change. In some nations, there's a leapfrogging without having to lay lines for the infrastructure but go to cellular directly.

Pay phone is disappearing in Hong Kong as well as everybody has cell phone nowadays! Of course another reason is not many people in hong kong will keep the coins with them. They all use octopus card here!

Omg, this is so old school! The best telephone to make a prank call from loll..Great close-up angle :))

Old school? Yes, back in the days old people like me go to school have to use this to call home if we are late or not going home for dinner. I was hoping to snap this with a human passing and how small the human is. It was difficult with many people walk. Maybe, need someone to pose there.
