No lights, all ambient light.

What depth? Colors and visibility looks nice!

Awesome! Amazing color for not having lights. Did you use any external filters or any color correcting on the computer?

 

[Bobspadger]

I used a UR Pro push fit from ikelite, then ran it through final cut pro and color

the filter made the biggest difference by a mile.

Deepest footage from that vid was about 25m on the barrier reef, not much point in going deeper than that it was just rock and sand

Nicely done, especially for a first time shooting underwater. You already know that several spots are very jumpy/jerky, so that is where I say you should concentrate your improvement efforts. I love the cuttlefish! Nice pan at the end, though you could have slowed it down just a hair. Most people have trouble with that, including me! Good job.

I agree about the color. That Ikelite red filter is amazing. I love mine, too.

Do you have to put up with that reverse image nonsense with that housing?

 

[ronscuba]

Some of the Ikelite housings have the monitor open at an angle. I think the IKE Canon HF200 does.

In some scenes the camera seems to struggle too much to be able to focus... Is this a caracteristic of this model or were you zooming in too much?
