Macro + Wide in Raja Ampat: Highlights video of January 24 - February 3, 2023 on Akomo Isseki

This trip was my fiancee and my first real attempt to put together a trip video. With two of us, we were able to split wide and macro duties during the dives. Primary equipment used includes:

Wide

• Panasonic GH5 II
• Panasonic 14-42mm II MEGA O.I.S.
• Nauticam WWL-1
• Keldan 2-stop spectrum filter for WWL-1 (should have used it all the time, but initially only used it in brighter conditions)
• Divepro G18+ with ambient filters

Macro

• Olympus TG-6
• Kraken Weefine 3000 lumen ring light

We know there’s room for us to improve and we’d appreciate any feedback. We’ve already learned so much from the users of this forum. This is the first of several videos we will put together for the trip, so if you’d like to see more please consider subscribing on Youtube. Thanks for looking!

The quality of the TG-6 macro is impressive.

Good work indeed

very nice for a first trip video, actually for any video

Very nice video that refreshes pleasant memories of our Akomo Isseki trip in 2020...

I have a question regarding the anemone with clownfishes at 01:57: Is the anemone completely white because of overly overprocessing or is it indeed affected by coral bleaching?

Thank you! Yes the anemone was actually all white, quite a sight but also sad if it is from bleaching
