@@peterlamshed3688 we use Big Blue 15k lights. I like them as they have 160 degrees of cover each and they are more cost effective than other lights. They also have fiber remote control buttons. I think for video that you should have lights that go that high, especially if you are shooting something big. Often I don’t have them up that high.

@@peterlamshed3688 thank you

@@Juscz super! That octopus was fun to film. It definitely had some personality.

@@jellavanberkum8096 thank you so much!

@@KevinandLizGrogan thank you both! When are you both back in Bonaire.

@@ADiversLife we’ll be down end of August. I’m coming down midweek for a few days of filming, then Liz will join me for a week of diving/play.

@@KevinandLizGroganperhaps we can all get together one evening.

@@PokerCPAEvil thank you!

@@ADiversLife Just making sure you know its Ann-Margaret (PokerCPA)!!!

@@PokerCPAEvilwell I know now. lol

@@wabcriel1 thank you. Black water? A lot of trial and error - mostly error. I am working on it. I am working on it

@@ADiversLife also a nice choice of music and sound effects too! Great video!

@@wabcriel1thank you!

@@Richard1976 thank you!

Hi Jill, I shoot with 15000 and 18000 lumen lights which have 160 degrees of coverage. I shoot wide angle and macro. I have a 90 mm macro and a 40 mm macro I use for blackwater conditions where the subjects are moving constantly. Thank you so much for asking and watching our channel and your wonderful comments!

какви мили думи! много ти благодаря!

Thank you!

We agree!

Automatic? I shoot only in manual mode for iso and aperture. I use the ninja display with my Sony and shoot for lights top end at 80%. I adjust lighting to help meet that and the tolerance level of marine life . Decisions to make: - set iso and aperture features based on the available light and direction of the sun - some Marine life hate video lights - like spotted eagle rays - I use auto underwater iso as the Sony’s custom white balance sucks - light location is set to the side and pointing in for macro. Their safe spot is in front of the lens. This is not a simple answer. I don’t just point and shoot

@@ADiversLife No no, I mean... when I was scrolling the shorts, suddenly (when I arrive to yours) the brightness of my phone increased by itself automatically and resolution was so better too. I tried on my laptop to be sure ane it happened there as well. The ohter shorts has the same brightness of my screen (the one I choose) but when I scroll to yours, it got brighter my phone automatically (it increase the brightness by itself).

@@s.t.a.r.d.u.s.t.8​​⁠so all our videos are recorded in High Dynamic Range. HDR standards first came out in 2020 to support the newer television standards. The old standard from 1990 is Rec. 709. This means 2 things - going from 8 bit color to 10 bit color and going to higher brightness levels. I used to be a CTO for IBM an realized 2 years ago that all phones were going down the HDR route and would advance faster than TVs which already were moving to HDR (like UHD TVs. ) So, when we upload our HDR recorded video to RUclips they create a rec.709 version from it and now you have both an HDR version and a rec.709 version. When your RUclips rendering app requests one of our videos, RUclips looks at the available bandwidth and whether your device supports HDR. If it does support HDR and has enough bandwidth to take it your app will receive the HDR version. An HDR device RUclips app will bump up the brightness and use the 10 bit color - a far better video experience automatically. So, in short you will automatically get a brighter and more vivid video. When I create our videos I maximize the videos dynamic range to give you that better experience in post production. All our videos are recorded in 4k but delivered in 1080p HDR format to ensure devices can get the best quality in lower bandwidth situations. When you see one of our RUclips short videos the detail closer to 4k, 90% but clipped to narrower format. They are super sharp. I hope this better explains things - sorry if it is a bit long winded. Thank you for asking.

@@ADiversLife Thanks a lot! I understand now. I loved your content btw.

@@s.t.a.r.d.u.s.t.8 thank you! Glad I could help.

You are welcome Benny!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Tried music to fit the character. I have not done one like this before

It is hard to find for sure!

Thank you Dave. Definitely, filming in a current has its challenges. Check out our recent video, Treasure in the Rubble. We film a large barracuda, getting cleaned, with a macro lens. All the best.

2 quick clicks

😂 I had a good laugh from your response.

@@ADiversLife thx!

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you 😋

Thank you

Thank you. Yes. Most of this is extremely shallow. The jawfish and seahorse , for example, were in less than 10-15 feet of water. I recommend bringing a light and going in between 4 and 4:30.

True

I do not over expose. You do if you are using the pure log. That said you can over expose a little. I shoot for 80 percent of my Ninja scope. I don’t change my black level, detail level, or color phase either. The detail level is supposed to help you render more dynamic range. I think it distorts the picture. Maximize your dynamic range in post production. Spend your time getting good on post production in your video editor. I use Premier Pro.

Yes! I then fine correct it in post. Glad you found the video useful.

@@ADiversLife And still HGL3?

@@peterlamshed3688 yes!

@@ADiversLife Thanks you very much!

@@peterlamshed3688 You are most welcome.

Great question Joseph! It was supposed to be a RUclips short video but after upload it went 1/10th of a second over, from the video I created (a RUclips thing) so it made it a regular video with those dimensions. The video was recorded in 4K and episodes are shipped in HD format to support bandwidths for all users. When making a short the image is 90% of the original 4k video but cropped to the dimension you see to match RUclips short dimension reqirements. Consequently, although not as wide as the original video it is actually sharper than the episode version as the height is 90% of the 4k recorded version and then cropped on the left and right side but adjusted for centering. I hope I answered your question. The video uploaded is also High Dynamic Range 10 bit color. We hope you enjoyed it.

Thank you

Yes it was!

Thank you!

Thanks Matt!

You are welcome. Sites: Salt Pier, Something Special, Pink Beach, Buddy Dive, Cliff dive site.

Thank you Ann Margaret

You are welcome. I also got Google to add Papiamento to their list of languages supported in their captions. One of our videos supports Papiamento subtitles. I would do more but I need to get someone to create them from the English ones.

@@ADiversLife just a few papiamento words in the videos is already wonderful.!! Thx so much, and for the beautiful videos we all like to watch. Benny Robles, Nikiboko.

Hey is echt

Yep!

Thank you Sara!

Thank you very much!

You are most welcome. The small crabs are tough to shoot. This is one of the best places to film them.
