Antigua Underwater

  1. I went to Antigua in January ... and put together a brief video with a combination of both stills and video from the trip.

    My rig was a G9 in the OEM case with two strobes (YS-27 & YS-15) and a Fantasea Nano focus light.

     

    Most of the time I had a Magic Filter over the lens so I could shoot both color-corrected video as well as use the strobes for most stills. I was able to get a perfectly acceptable white balace shooting with strobes and magic filters as long as I manually white balanced with the strobes firing and the filter on.

     

    Enjoy!

     

    I'm going to Mexico in June and hope to shoot a lot of video in the cenotes when I go, but will probably leave the magic filter behind to capture the natural colorscape ... I'm debating whether to buy the Ikelite case so as to have a wide-angle option ... or go crazy and make a DIY short-port out of a second OEM case ... seems a bit daunting.

     

    P.S.

     

    If you want to amuse yourself, check out this silly little video I put together ... Dancing Bears ...
