I am still going through the video materials from Malpelo
The trip was amazing with what I would refer as hardcore diving. Big swells, crushing waves and current in some cases extremely strong.
Not easy for photographers with large rigs I had challenges myself especially as they do not let you point video lights or strobes into the blue.
The following links to give an idea of how it was look at the surface when in the frame to see what it was like to get in and out of the water
It was also pretty dark mostly as we had torrential rain, probably this was a bit of bad luck. It worked well for the photos creating really deep blues less well for video that comes out at times a bit noisy
I decided to shoot rectilinear lenses tamron 20-40 and 17-28 for video not WWL-1 or fisheye like
I have a lot of materials and little time so I decided just to provide some information of what the diving is like instead of going for artistic
I will eventually combine all in one video as I have lots of topside too
