| Remarks |
We liked this site so much we decided to do another dive. This time we stayed relatively shallow, working on the top of the coral heads. I stayed shallow enough that I didn't use my filter at all. Looking back on the film I think I should have used my weak filter.
I started the film with two shots of the coral and fish looking towards the surface (with the sun to my back). These came out fine, good in between shots.
Next I tried to do a upwards pan of a peice of coral. This shot wasn't that impressive. The lens is reflecting again.
The next shot is a butterfly fish of some sort. I got it swimming with coral and blue sea as background. It didn't stay on either of these backgrounds long enough to be effective.
Next shot is a stationary coral shot. Nothing special.
Pan left shot of some coral. I was trying to pan to a school of blue fish with a dark cave as background. Stupid school started to go into the cave, moving away from me. Instead of having the school right on me, they are in the background. It isn't bad, just not as impressive as I wanted.
Chased a little green fish around. The fish was weird shapped and I don't know what it was. I spent a lot of time on this dive trying to get this fish on tape. It didn't like me that much, because it kept running from me. Not a co-operative subject.
Parrot fish munching on alge.
Beutiful fish (don't know what). I started this fish by drifting over the coral head, then I swam with it. I liked the color of the fish. There is definately some good footage here.
Followed a fish with a weird tail. Maybe I'll find out what it is later.
A shot where the camera flies up and over the coral. Starts with a fairly close shot on some coral. When it tops the coral, it is a wide view of the reef. I like this.
I go back to that weird green fish.
Some other fish.
