Raja Ampat season is coming to an end, so here is a short film celebrating some of the things that make it such an amazing place. The visibility may at times be challenging, but the scenery and wildlife is truly spectacular both above and below the waves. 

 

Altogether, I spent 7 trips in Raja Ampat aboard the Blue Manta liveaboard in 2017/2018. It's incredibly hard to try to condense that into 3 minutes, so my initial version was 6 minutes long. But most people's attention spans being what they are, here is a shorter edit. Hope you enjoy it!

I used the Sedona LUT for the topside and aerial shots. You can download it for free here: https://luts.iwltbap...r-grade-sedona/. It's a quite nice teal & orange look.

Very inspiring. Great edit. As I'm slowly learning editing with Adobe I realize how long this must have taken. I'm very interested in your lens port combos also what are your settings in the cave if you dont mind. Not only do the blacks look great the corners look good too. Something I'm struggling with with the Oly Pro 7-14 2.8
