I've posted a new video on YouTube. Actually it's an older video, up-rezzed and updated with current software. It features mandarin fish, mantas, and lots of shark action.. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDL-LhCbhQ0

Thanks for sharing that Eric - I find older footage fascinating, both as a time capsule showing diving areas in a fast evolving context, and also from a technical point of view.
You have really great shots there. Beyond the technical restriction on actual image definition, it's still very good, and kudos on the macro (really reaching the limits of that diopter!) and the mandarin fish sequence, which are generally a nightmare to shoot!

What were you shooting on at the time?

cheers

Ben, thanks for the kind words. I was shooting a Nikon 7000. It was the first Nikon with decent video capabilities, although it was only 1080. Macro lens was Nikon 60mm, no diopter. Shortly thereafter I switched to LUMIX gear for their superior video. The Yap footage was up-rezzed to 4k in Final Cut Pro.

Hi Eric,

The Mandarin fish sequence is gorgeous.

Thanks for sharing
