Diving in Bali, Indonesia

Hi all,

 

A short 5min video about diving in Kubu, Amed, Tulamben and Nusa Penida.

I hope you will enjoy it, I am especially happy about the pygmy seahorse shot at 1:45, took me quite a few dives to get those few seconds!

 

All the best, Morten

Love the whole feel of the piece, music was an inspired choice.

 

I appreciate the open polyps around the pygmy too, thanks for sharing it Morten, Wonderful.

 

Cheers,

Steve

Nice work Morten, what system are you using for video?

[MortenHansen 25]

Hi Steve, thanks a lot, I am really glad you enjoyed it!

 

Mike, I am using a 7D, 10-17mm, 60mm and 100mm, the WA is ambient light only and the macro is lit with just the focus lights from my INONs (which is a huge headache to shoot with by the way!)

that light with the Inons?!?!?! Flabbergasted, looks pretty good for that.

Are you using a filter with your wide? the colours look very nice

[MortenHansen 25]

Haha, thanks Mike, its nice to have someone understand your headaches!

 

I must say that there has been a lot of crappy shots that I had to delete to get this video together!

Especially hard was working with the 100mm since I had to shoot with the aperture wide open to get enough light, which resulted in some pretty darned small DOF

 

I am not using a filter, I do MWB, normally off the sand or another neutral part of the reef and then I use a custom picture style that trial and error has shown works good.

It should also be said that I only go out to shoot WA on days where I know that the conditions will be great and I try to plan those days for shallow reefs

You're right, that shot of the pygmy seahorse is wonderful.
