Underwater Video of my Reef

[johnny]

My wife gave me an early Christmas present... a dive housing for my GoPro. It's been 5 months since my tank crashed from Flatworm Exit and luckily a lot of my zoas made it through (only the expensive ones died... go figure haha). I also had a couple of SPS and LPS come back from the dead, although most died, the few that hung on encouraged me to keep going. The only positive out of the event is that I have no more zoa eating nudibranches :thumbsup:

The colors came out desaturated, I tried to get them back to normal with Vegas Movie Studio, but I of course had no clue what I was doing The video is over saturated, but still pretty neat. It lost a lot of quality uploading to youtube, anyone have any hints on how to prevent that?



Some of you should be able to point out frags I've gotten from you at the last frag swap or the colonies of frags you got from me :wavehand:

Cool video and nice tank. May I ask why you didn't get any close ups or a swim thru the tank experience. I saw one on YouTube that the guy was moving the camera all thru the tank and even gave a look outside the tank kinda like what the fish see looking at us LOL.
Thanks for sharing.

The GoPro doesn't seem to do all that well at macro shots, it tends to get blurry when you get within a few inches of something. I'll have to try the "swim through" though! I need to clean the glass better before trying to shoot through it though

Now you need to get one of those mini subs and strap it on. But seriously, a claw or coral feeder would make a nice mount for some cool angles...just don't break any of your corals.

Yeah seriously, the camera is kinda bulky in there!
