GH5 in the Graveyard of the Atlantic

3 posts
  1. Did three days of diving in the Graveyard of the Atlantic out of Beaufort, NC with Discovery Diving. Hit the wrecks of the Aeolus and Spar. Visibility wasn't the best, but managed to spend some quality time with the sand tiger sharks. 

    In a day's dive there we usually do one offshore dive and one in shore dive. On the inshore dives I usually do macro as the viz is poorer. However, this year the viz was so bad in shore we didn't even try. So, it was all wide angle.

    The challenge with shooting sand tigers is they are so white on the bottom it's easy to overexpose as they get closer.

    Here's the video. Comments and critiques are welcomed.

    Land and drone shots very strong
    The in water part is well lit the sharks especially mid water look good. Overall the only thing that I would change is the framing the lens I believe is a fixed focal length and in some cases too wide for your lights but that's being picky

  3. Nicely done!

    Highlight roll off in some shots is clipping but that might be the youtube compression. What picture profile did you use?
