San Diego Dive Video posted

[uzun]

I just posted a new video with some footage taken locally (San Diego). It's more a repository for footage I don't want to forget about than anything else, not really much special or that interesting really. Still some new HD footage shot with a Sony HDR-XR520V camcorder around Southern California, from Sept-Nov 2009. It's encoded in MPEG-2 format at 1080/30p resolution.

Some great shots, thank you for sharing...What kind of light(s) were you using in most of the footage?

 

[uzun]

I use Light and Motion Sunray 2000 lights, and a light and motion Bluefin Pro housing with a Sony XR520V camcorder.

just spectacular, as usual. You make me want to get on a plane to Calif and go diving right now.

I have not looked at the LED lights much since I go back and forth from using 21W HID's with video reflectors and then back to a goodman handle. It makes them a little more economical for me with the dual use, but after reading the specs and reviews, I must admit that those light are very impressive. Do you use the dimming feature much?

Very impressive - Makes my sanyo HD1 stuff look, well amateur - wait, it is

Very professional looking video - BRAVO!

Excellent work, thanks for posting it.

I do use the dimming feature a lot, mostly on night dives. If there is sunlight available you need full strength but at night or when you aren't competing with natural light I usually use medium or low.

This takes me back to our trip last Aug 2009 when we did a live aboard off the coast of S. CA. I never thought I'd like diving dry on vacation, but I think S. CA is a repeat. I really enjoyed the diving in your area. Sharks, Sea Lions, Nudi's, Octo, and kelp to name a few, what is not to like!

Nice work, and thanks for sharing.
