    Cave (cenote) diving video - looking for suggestions on better lighting

    Thanks for the advice all. THe key challenge I had was that I didnt feel the video captured the "awe" of the sights I saw while actually there. Perhaps it is not a lighting issue and more of a wide angle lens issue. I do like the point about getting the other divers to carry similar lights...

    Into the Darkness : Diving Cenote Dos Ojos

    Thanks for the kind words. No, the fish were too small even to nibble but when you rub the algae, they eat what comes off. The bats also left us alone but were more active when the lights were on them. Glad you enjoyed the short film.

    Photo lighting versus video lighting?

    Thanks for the reply. I was hoping for a range of feedback so kept the question broad. Currently, I am using a Sea & Sea YS-110 as a strobe for stills but found when I use my video lights, the stills usually come out better. For video lights, I am alternating between a Halcyon 21W HID and two...

    Safety while shooting video and photos...

    I shoot a lot of video and photos while diving and wanted to get some safety tips to practice and to include in the videos. Many of my videos involve sharks and other potentially hazardous critters. Any tips would be helpful.
