This field trip was very successfully conducted with 19 photographers participated. Weather condition was unexpectly good, and we did see the "egg yolk" setting sun! All of us enjoyed ourselves very much. Yixiong & Nee Chye enjoyed the shooting of sunset. Richard, SC & many more took whatever gears available to them to record the scenic setting sun and the colourful sky.

The rest of the photographers started shooting those marine creatures as soon as they arrived the site. The tidal level was low enough to look for marine subjects on the time of arrival, but the best time was still after the dark fall when all marine organisms started to feel safe and actively came out to their comfort zone for "dinner". There were quite a large patch of green algae (Bryopsis sp) covering many parts of the coral rubble. Also, the water condition was not as good as the last visit. A lot of bubble floating around and the water was not so clear as before. Nevertheless, when it got darker and darker, we were getting busier and busier as there were so many things moving around to keep us busy.

As usual, crabs were always pretty colourful and in good numbers. Snapping shrimps were playing hide and seek game. Octopus spreaded out its tentacles to grab its food regardless of so many people surrounding them. Beautiful flatworms appeared to redirect away the interest of photographers from octopus, swimming and floating from place to place. Seashells like gong-gong and Arabian cowries were so cooperative that everyone near to them got a good chance to shoot them. There were many many more out there. Unfortunately, the tide went down to it lowest level at about 6.15pm when the sky was still quite bright. Had it happened half an hour later, we would have much more nicer images to bring back. We ended our trip at about 8.50 pm and proceeded to Harbourfront Food Court for dinner.
