Magnificent!

Brilliantly done Jon. I wish my dreams were that good.

Thanks!

Steve

Terrific. Was this in Ha'apai or Vava'u?

_{Thanks guys, it was Vava'u}

Great work - of course you you were shooting with the RED ?

Of course Pete

What lens, Jon?

Wow!

Wow, touching movie indeed!

Were you filming with scuba or just snorkel?

Awesome... I'm guessing Tokina 10-17mm by the way the light hits

Yes, it's written on Vimeo video description

Amazing. Thanks for sharing this great video.

3.20 to 3.25 is stunning the way the light plays on the baby whale

Are you questioning my authority on light refraction through dome ports and lenses at depth in Tongan waters Davide?

Dean

We could launch a new contest "Guess my lens"

Or... Rate my 'focal' length

Dean

Or "check my filter"

I'll stop hijacking this thread

You had me from the opening shot, the snorkeler in the upper left seemed infinitesimal; it made for a magnificant composition. However, I am now discouraged because I could never afford a Red One or anything that is in that price category. Just can't compete with such quality. Great shots all around.

Thanks guys, yep the Tokina 10-17 all shot on snorkel

Wonderful!
