I've made 7 trips to Browning Passage over the last 4 years and have done about 70 dives in the area. This video is a compilation of the scenery and marine life at the different dive sites.

Some quick timestamps if you want to see specific dive sites.

Filmed with a Sony A7SIII + Sony 16-35mm f/4 lens in an Aquatica Digital housing with 3x18,000 lumen kraken video lights. Shot in SLOG3 (10 bit 4:2:2) and graded in Davinci Resolve.

Wow, thanks for sharing.

Stunning images.

I just added it to my diving bucket list. 😅

Beautiful images indeed,

I see you use three powerful lights. Could you explain more about their position and use?

Thanks

Thank you! Yes, I use 3 lights. I attached a photo of me with my camera rig. The 3rd light is positioned in the center and pointed either straight or slightly angled upward or down if the water is fairly clear... I find it works really well as a fill light with my two primary lights angled slightly outward to decrease backscatter. I am shooting in SLOG3 and using the lowest ISO possible so I need a lot of light to get the exposure right.

Thanks,

What's your typical iso value on wa shots?

That really depends on the conditions, here in the pacific northwest we can have a nice sunny day where it's bright down to 100 feet or it could be cloudy with an algae bloom and it's pretty much pitch black at 60 feet. For wide angle I'll typically go with the native ISO of 12,800 which gives a nice clean image and I have my aperture set to 6 to 8 and it looks pretty good. If it's a darker day I have cranked it up to 32,000 with minimal noise and it can be corrected in post.

I didn't remember that the A7SIII had the second native ISO at 12800. I tried the FX3 which has the same native ISO, and sometimes that value is too high, but in those conditions, it is certainly a godsend.

Thank you for the explanations and also, kudos on your videos.
