Did you shoot this with your rebel or did you get a new video cam? And whats with all the big octos lately? Breeding season?
I'm using a JVC Everio GZHM-300 HD camcorder. I've had it for awhile, but hadn't taken it underwater. I bought a $35 Ikelite housing off E-Bay and recently made a video light so I'm trying it out. I realised after I bought the video camera that it's rated for having the worst low-light performance in the history of technology and the light I made isn't as bright as I'd like. I have to get pretty close to something for the light to have an effect. As for the octos, I'm guessing that they are males who have already mated and are now in retirement, wandering around with nothing to do. They don't seem to care about extending their lifespans, sitting out in the open with all those big Ogden Point lingcod cruising around.
