The best way to start will be to buy an instant camera with waterproof casing, usually around $15 - $20 in stores that print photos. After you shoot your first set, print out the results(@$20) and see if you are inspired to explore further.

Thanks sinner! There were four in the tree. They're still hanging around making their nice parakeet noises.

Sorry for the poor iq, but this angsana outside my office towers over my 2-storey block - too far for my 200mm. Here's a few shots taken yesterday afternoon. I think they're subadult Rose-ringed parakeets (aka Ring necked). Thanks in advance!

Yup. Safety first. Anyhow take photos. Do your equipment and buddy check, and maintaining situational awareness comes first. Don't kick the corals.

It's a flagrans foul! Red card. Haha, great shot!

This doesn't look like Singapore... Is it in Japan? I like the textures and warmth in this shot.

My guess is the wild ginger/ torch ginger. Etlingera elatior. Beautiful shots!

That shot is cr4p. But I mean it in a good way. LOL!

I'm inspired to go snorkeling now. You've captured the views so nicely, and I'd love to try out my new GoPro in Redang, especially seeing how the young corals, giant clams and photogenic parrotfish/ sergeant majors/ rabbitfishes look. Haven't gone for far too long! Gotta wait til April/ May...

Love the second shot. Love the black tip shark shot. Go low, shoot up. That's the no. 1 rule for fish shots. Great start!

Frontback on iOS is free. Requires iOS 6.

Nice nice!

Thanks for your comment. It's really helpful, will remember next time, to check for perspective in composing the images.

Polariser can only be used on a fully sunny day. Even partial cloud will affect the results using CPL. I used CPL on some of my shots that day, but not these two shots. For focus, its probably difficult to use AI Servo in this situation. I personally use One Shot, because I know in advance...

Thank you once again, jiaolang. Thanks to your ID, I found an interesting link on these birds mixing with other bird species. Bird Ecology Study Group Feeding frenzy and rice left for stray dogs
