Nice compositions Simon! I can see you have the "eye"

[Simon]

thanks for the encouragement, though I think there are more room for improvement

vinz, not unless NG has a opening for urban jungle photographer []

Very nice. Wish I can also take such good pic.
Keep it up.

my share of the zoo, but dont compare my pictures with the 2 x 300D mounted on heavy tripod . Mine is only G5 on shaky hands.

Unable to take good pics of animal far away, so I end up snapping on flowers.

More in the Picture folder

roland, thats one thing I like about prosumer digicam, vivid and crisp pictures.. you just need accessories to help take further pics

Don't compare my camera/photos with Simon's and team. Mine is too lowly to be even mentioned, and I am never good in photography anyway (lack of the artistic composition).
Anyway, here are some UW photos I had taken during my last trip.

billy, very nice pics... except for the last few, the white balance kind of off

[Goondoo]

hehe... thx Simon...

Anyway, it was my first diving trip with a camera. Didn't foresee problems like more negative bouyancy was required(keep floating up everytime I breathe in), water visibility was very lousy etc(especially when some stupid diver see me focusing a point but yet swim infront of my camera, finning up all the sand etc). I think I set my ISO too high in some pictures, like I said, I know nothing about photography.... yet. Just doing my routine trial and error.[] [] []

Billy,

Don't think Simon will dive. But he can probably use it at one of those streams along mandai..Natural biotope photography. Although, it will be such a waste for such an expensive piece of equipment, don't you think?
