    Sounds like a great experience! whalesharks are amazing creatures for sure. Were you trying to post a photo to accompany from your facebook? I don't think you can post a whole set at one time. Instead just post a couple of the individual shots by using the little photo icon on the top of your post

    Have you ever been on a plane where they show a bunch of underwater scenic reef shots? I have come up with my own short video of similar short scenics set to some soothing music to calm the masses have a look! http://youtu.be/Yub1ub00f-s

    Good start, i think everything looks pretty good. You have done well one thing about your buddy.. and i know cave divers like black, but.. a single frame clear mask would be a lot better for the close up shots, that way you won't get the shadows on his face

    Here is a short fun video from Lembeh of a series of different animals munching away on dinner! http://youtu.be/JXexf50vemY

    definitely two. Although one light does give some cool shadowing that can really make for some interesting video, especially in macro stuff, two is always better. You don't have to run them at the same power, keep one lower to still give some shadow for instance. However, for wider shots the spread of two is much better and if you have any issues with one light (bad charge, flood etc) then you always have that second one with you. I can't comment on any of the specific lights though

    Lion also has some flights in the Air Asia terminal.. the Jkt to Bali flights for instance. Now that is a nice terminal! with Jco even.. Is the old ugly domestic called T1? I can't remember haha, i thought it was called T2... it doesn't have much of anything after checking in and going up the stairs. Outside there are a few of places you mention though.
  20. MikeVeitch
    Congrats
  21. MikeVeitch
    Ya, there are a few different domestics there, which airline are you flying with?
  22. MikeVeitch
    Thanks.. the Whalesharks are incredible for sure

    a flip is a mount that the red filter fits into and sits between the lens and the port. You can flip it down in front of the lens when you want to use it and flip it up out of the way when you don't.. its very handy.. not sure if Ikelite has that option but you may want to ask them
  24. MikeVeitch
    alright... so where are the photos of this party?!? Eric, maybe it was canceled because you weren't there
  25. MikeVeitch
    well.. the red filter also means you are losing a stop or two of light, at 100 feet you could use that extra light. Video lights are only good for stuff up to about 6 feet away, so they are good to light up close up shots of the wreck but they won't help if you are trying to get general "scenic" shots. I don't know the wreck so not sure if it has king posts and such that come shallow? Your filter would still be good for those, however, filter is really only effective until 50 feet, not 70 in my experience. Does the filter have a flip? or will it be fixed to the lens? If its a flip then you can try both and see what works better. Perhaps you can borrow or rent some lights for the closer shots?
