Video: NASA Neutral Buoyancy Lab by Peter Lightowler
NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Lab (NBL) in Houston, Texas is a large freshwater pool that is used to train astronauts to perform tasks in a weightless, or in this case, neutral buoyancy environment. Gates and RED recently ran a 3-day STO course, training the NBL team in using their housings and cameras to document the training. Peter Lightowler of Down Under Aquatic Imaging also provided an introduction to video editing using Davinci Resolve. In addition, he produced this amazing short film.

Wetpixel forums are back
I am pleased to report that the Wetpixel forums are back up and running. There are still some bugs that need working out, and we do need the community to go and have a look at the forums to see if there is anything that we have missed! There is a thread where folks are reporting any issues they have or notice so that our amazing developer Tom St. George can investigate and solve them. So far so good!

We are changing our servers and updating the site in order to provide some exciting new features and functionality over the next few months. Many apologies for the inconvenience, but this means that we will need to take the forums offline for around 24 hours.
