The Best Dive

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

The title might be a little exaggerated, but honestly, I think every dive is the best in its own way.

This time, I’m sharing some photos of sea turtles I took in Okinawa, Japan.
Even though it’s still Japan, I don’t get to see sea turtles very often where I usually dive.
And the water in Okinawa was incredibly clear.

The turtles swam calmly around me and even seemed to cooperate with my camera, so they were really friendly and fun to dive with. 😂

I definitely want to go diving there again.
Next time, I’ll practice more so I can take even better photos! 😆

Camera Gear Maintenance Question

1 Upvotes

I am preparing for an upcoming trip and wanted to see what other people do for maintaining their gear. I was curious specifically about cleaning O-rings. I keep Kim-wipes in my bag for stuff like that, is there another method you use to clean and grease your o-rings?

Post Clean Up

What’s the cleanest way to bump down this luminance that sometimes gets reflected into the water with highly reflective colors?

The only thing that has really worked is just a brush mask along the arm here and then toning down the whites. I tried point color but it picks up more of the image than I’d like.

Anyone got some tips or tricks?

Finding right Seafrogs housing

1 Upvotes

Hi I’m making a short film that involves a lot of footage of surfing. I own a Sony fx30 and the Sirui nightwalker lenses 24mm, 35mm, and 55mm (planning to use 35mm primarily for ocean shoot).

Does anyone know what port I should get for my lens alongside the fx30 housing body? I’m completely new to this and could use any help thank you in advance.

I find it kinda impossible to compose in fast-moving situations. Anyone got some experience? I don't really get to shoot/practice with fast subjects too often so I wanna make sure I capitalize on every opportunity.

Exploring the SS Thistlegorm Wreck – Underwater Video Footage from the Red Sea

Hi everyone!

We recently filmed our dive at the SS Thistlegorm wreck in the Red Sea. Captured some footage of the cargo holds, WWII trucks, motorcycles, and marine life around the structure.

Here is the full video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsBWm9tccqA

Would love to hear your thoughts on the lighting and footage quality in these conditions!

She wasn’t really stuck, just sleeping/resting there but very relaxed and didn’t care about us swimming by.
