dive videos

Nice shots. We have never tried videos, but with the Nikonos camera it was essential to have the high powered strobes and color balanced light source. Not sure how to do that with the smaller video recorders--Some of the pro units have enough video light power to caputure the full colors.
 
Tom and Susan,

Looks like you two are having a great time!! It's 52 and rainy here in Vancouver. We have a fire in the pellet stove and are content with being at one with the boob-tube so far today. Will check back later for an update. BYW what are you using for a video camera?

Be safe,

Don and Dee
 
its sunny with a light breeze and 85 in napali. just got back from our 8th dive. two on thursday, 4 friday and two today plus we have tanks i the car for a beach dive in the cove behind the condo. will post more video and photos later.

we bought a cannon power shot 12meg for 150 and put it in a underwater case for another 150. so pics and video underwater for three hundered. its not the best but I tell you what its very nice for just three hundered.

at hi res i can take 2500 pictures and 8 hours of video. it would be nice to have a big strobe and I would not have to get so close but I tell you what it take s some nice pictures for what it is and ten years ago it woud have cost 1000's to get the same thing.
 
Tom,

Thanks for sharing. Dr Bob is right about the light. At anything deeper than about 15 - 20 feet, you start to loose the color spectrum and only the blue wave lengths get down to there. Amping up the light power will get the colors back, but hey, the video looks pretty realistic. Are these dive sites wrecks or purposely sunk for artificial reefs?

Have a great time.

Your pictures took my right back to my scuba days in Hawaii. There is a great dive on the old USS Blue Fin (submarine) off Lahaina. Deck in 80', keel 120'. If somebody there will give you the fix....

I asked about the sub and it seems it was towed to deep water years ago. With a depth of 100 plus ft folks where getting hurt. Not watching there bottom times. So the moved it out of harms way.


Two dives today. Both off of lunai??? Fishing in the morning
