Typical reef scene out on the edge of a drop off in Kona.....
The other day I decided to set down the camera on a rock and swim away for a couple minutes before returning. It's a neat coincidence that a spotted eagle ray swam through the video right before I came back in the scene.
I need to figure out how to do a custom white balance with the G9, I've just never tried since I've been shooting all my stills in RAW and can adjust them after the fact. I'm guessing the video will look pretty sharp once I can figure out how to get white balance right at depth.
If you enlarge the video (by clicking on the box in the lower right when you put your cursor on the video) it's almost like being there. No whales were singing near the site on that day, bummer.
later,
Steve

THIS IS AMAZING!!!! i just love watching this. can you make more??? makes me feel like I am there, diving, when I make it full screen (like you said). Thanks!!!
OK, three weeks after this goes up, suddenly Facebook has changed the security settings on the videos. It's supposed to be non-secure where everyone can see it. I'll try to fix it but it might not happen.

You know what would be even cooler... setting up white balance/ colour slider so that it boosts the reds etc that fade first at depth more than the blues...
that sounds like a job for microsoft... if they could incorporate it into moviemaker the underwater guys would be happy. In photoshop, I can do a quick white balance with a single frame and make it look good, but I can't figure out how to batch it so the whole video comes out.
