bonfire dives (light-trap dives)
humu9679 replied to bghazzal's topic in Photography Gear and Technique
"High color rendering lights" -- which current brands fit this picture? Also, I'm a bit annoyed that Minemizu-san copyrighted the term Black Water Dive. -
$12,500! I didn't get that for my left kidney.

That's a nice frame. Yup, what @RomiK said -

That hummingbird looks fine, fine. -
Popularity of underwater video vs photo?

Thanks @RomiK I thought of it myself. 😉 -

I, too, agree. And let's not forget video editiing software - a bit easier than splicing and taping. -
Advice Dome or WWL for whales

You can shoot the 16-35 wide open. You may end up with, how do you say, artistic renderings. 😉 -
The Sony 20-70mm covers a good range on full frame, but likely not a good fit for APS-c. It would be a 30mm to 105mm equivalent - not wide enough and not close focusing enough to make it worth your while.

@John Pierce Welcome home!

Pretty much every modern mirrorless camera can do both, but it's a question of whether or not the manufacturer could mate cutting edge performance and price. You just have to decide which system you want to marry. Lenses gets into a whole other realm of discussion. There are lots of opinions regarding this, and even on whether or not Nauticam's wet lenses are the way to go. The 1650 and WWL seems a good choice. Very good performance. Small enough (though smaller and lighter would be desirable). Others would argue that the WACP lenses are the way to go, but these are more expensive. Another plus for WWL lenses is that they pop up for sale with some regularity.

@Waja purchased a Nauticam flash trigger from me, which was part of a larger lot for sale. Easy and no drama transaction. Highly recommended.

I'd say if you're a still photographer wanting to shoot more video, like me, this is a great choice. It's my choice, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. It shoots oversampled 4k 60p, has good rolling shutter specs. There's a 1.3x crop with stabilization, and something like 1.5x crop if you shoot 4k 120p, which is not great. All of this means that it's got the specs we want, and Sony's autofocusing is top of the class. Dunno about the setting white balance, but my guess is that it's doable.

For the 1" balls on Ultralight Control System hardware, they recommend Buna O Rings size 2-209, or Danco #95 15/16 x 11/16 x 1/8 inches. (I really prefer metric measurements).

Let's see your website.

Really good stuff people! @RVBldr @Chris Ross @jlaity @scubadiggy @bvanant -
@coweyman Welcome to Waterpixels. I navigate the site thinking that if I'm thinking about something, I'm usually late to the party, so searching for subjects is a good idea. I don't like the old school search parameters we use though.

It seems bulky is inescapable. Much like middle-age spread and reading glasses. The three ball clamps work fine, but I also like to use the cold shoes on the housing or port, and fastener bolt holes on some housings.

That bare arm is begging you to spend more money! It has the look of a peg-legged pirate.

That's from a GoPro Hero 7 black. I was shooting my A6000 with a 90 macro. -
Sony SEL 11F18 (11mm f1.8) APS-C lens for video
humu9679 replied to Nikolausz's topic in Video Gear and Technique
Did you use the SEL11mm on that clip? Looks nice, and I like the music. Seems that would be a good focal length for APS-c video and stills. -

My bad, I glanced at that scorpionfish and my brain thought frogfish. This short clip is the frogfish I was thinking of. Couldn't make a decent still frame of it. GX010410 2.mov -
@calbeardiver Welcome to Waterpixels. Yep, Waterpixels is close to flat-lining. Very sad that.

@Antoine de Brisbane Warm welcome to Waterpixels!
