Video: SATURATION - Colorful Marine Creatures from Indonesia & The Philippines

Nick Hope · 09/18/2017, 11:16 PM

I made a video of colorful little marine life that I found on dives in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia, and at Anilao in The Philippines. Most of it is colorful, most of it is tiny, and some of the species are exotic and rare.

There is a subtitle track containing the common and scientific names of all the marine life.

Feedback is welcome.

Very nice work! To say that I'm a bit jealous would be an understatement.

If I might ask - what equipment did you use? Macro photography has always been a passion of mine.

Thanks again!

I used a Panasonic GH4 in a Nauticam housing with either the 12-50 lens or 60mm macro lens. Actually I just updated my equipment list and posted a photo of my current rig on this page.

I was going to guess the GH5 but the 4 is nearly as impressive and nothing beats the lumix line when it comes to video.

What a fantastic video--thank you for sharing!!
