Oh ya, forgot about the trip report , thanks for reminding. Here's the full trip report http://www.finsonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5319

The leaf scorpion fish , mantis shrimp , Red Fire Fish were taken when I still have the use of my strobe.
The rest of the photos were taken with either custom white balance only or with internal flash only.


Here's the link to the 8 video clips that I had put together. Pardon the lousy quality as after uploading , the video degraded abit.

like the #1 very much. very nice and brings a overhanging feeling to the viewer even on dry land! great colours and sharpness!

Eric and scoobakev thanks for the encouragement. I just try to apply what I had learnt from your kind contributions on this forum.

Vis was not exactly decent . Only 1 out of 5 dive days we had 25-30m vis over at Suzie's Bommie and Di's delight. The rest of the days, had Tioman's average kind of vis as the week that we were there, the sky was unusually overcasted , and i notice from the cable TV in my room that SEAP countries were either having thunderstorms or heavy rain. So I guess i'm lucky that It did not rain heavily when we were there,

Thanks for your encouragement . due to the limitations of my skills and camera , i could not bring out even better feelings. I was practically stunned by what I saw , and i just hover near the school until a good 5 mins later than I started shooting. Awesome is an uderstatement to describe the feeling.
