MAGNIFICENT COLORS OF RAJA AMPAT IN 4K HDR

[Laval]

I see lots of liveaboards in the indonesian dive forums looking for clients with 40% off 10 day cruises. Oh my oh my I am tempted to get a Social visa visit one of my clients in Jakarta then do a Bali Raja Ampat adventure.

How about flights and other logistics?

I live in Taiwan and I could arrange indirect flights.

Please find the following link to my new video COLORS OF RAJA AMPAT IN HDR, in which I was trying to show magnificent colors of the Raja Ampat's marine life, biodiversity of which is the highest recorded on Earth. It's simply overwhelming.

The Raja Ampat (West Papua, Indonesia) lies in the middle of the Coral Triangle, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Indian Ocean. It is a home to over 540 types of corals, more than 1000 types of coral fish and over 700 types of mollusks.

I hope you like the video. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Thank you for watching.

Please tell me what camera was used and if you use any type of filter.
Vidro was outstanding!!!

We used the MI Canopus system.

That is the only link I found about the system.

Too old to lug all the gear today,
Just was wondering how you made the transition from video lights to Ambient.
Filter in the camera a for Ambient to take out the blue and filter on the lights to take out the red.
Great work!!

Next trip Cozumel July 27. Then on the Turks and Caicos Explorer on Oct 39th.

Thank you for watching my video and your comments. If you are interested in the use of filters in underwater videography I could recommend you the following article: -WHY USE RED FILTER ON THE CAMERA AND BLUE FILTERS ON THE LIGHTS, WITH WB MANUAL EVEN IN MACRO IN HDR HLG ( & SDR) FILMING?

Nicely done. Will show to my wife as she loves these. Looking forward to the day when my wife and daughter both dive to go to places like this.
