Thank you! 😊

Amazing place to dive! Beautiful video 🤙🏻

@jackytse9257 davinci resolve. But best is shoot it correctly from the camera

@@lazydivermelBy adding red filter ?

@jackytse9257 video lights :) red filter only works for 4-8meters.. any deeper the camera struggles with ISO and basically it will be too low resolution to use at all. My videos don't use any red filters but video lights only.

Do check out my other videos with description. If u like it do consider subscribing I do have more upcoming videos on underwater soon

@@lazydivermel Subscribed! Looking foward for upcoming video😁

Yes u can do with OWD license. At most 15m.

@Alex-ry3ug thanks alot Alex for the kind words. I didn't lay on corals or seabed. Tbh in malapascua everywhere is fire coral u can't lie there. and as a divemaster myself I hate people doing so too. I do sometimes uses 2 finger nails to stabilise myself against current. But if i cant do it ill just miss the shot. Its ok for me :) My rig is neutral buoyant hence if I don't touch my camera it neither goes up or down.. it just stay in mid air. To get extreme close to seabed shots is to be neutrally buoyant as a diver.. make sure nothing is hanging out and fins are not support onto anything. Once mastering neutral buoyancy anyone can be just 10cm above seabed or hover at ease. By then the person air could even last at least 80min before 50bar remaining. Hope this clarifies and hope you enjoy the video without disappointment :)

@@lazydivermel Hi, thanks for the clarification! That's very true, sometimes you have to stabilize yourself slightly with one finger. And I completely understand the point about being just above the ground. Then it just looked like that to me in some of the videos. I've been diving in Malapasqua and Moalbol myself and was sometimes horrified at how divers treat the environment at both dive sites. Primarily because of a lack of diving experience and lack of knowledge.

I replayed my I see what you mean! There is a local diver in my video with fin on the ground! Yes in moalboal i think they dont really care i saw divers standing on seabed and i use my duck horn to alert their Dive Guide to control them.. in malapascua i think its pretty control and dont think anyone want to get sting by fire corals haha.. By the way Im going malapascua this weekend again!

And yes if u look closer in my video..especially in those low angle shots..it's not all super stable because I'm not mounting my camera on the rocks or seabed or using any form of tripod

Davinci resolve and pull down the greens and increase blue. But best is shoot close to the colors you wanted straight out of the camera by getting as close to the subject. Im using a AOI wide angle lens that allows me to go super close without loosing focus

Thank you!! Yes thresher sharks are shy in nature and it takes time and patience to slowly get close to them.

Yes alot of color grading. 4k60p iso max 800. Ev -0.5. Gopro color natural but have to cut down on the contrast in post process. Hypersmooth on (but please be very stable) and I uses a wide angle lens to get extremely close to cut off the water column.

The key is to get as close as possible.

@@lazydivermel What dive tour you went on. My guide don't let me get that close.. I thought you guys are scientist or st so they let you close to the creature. I just went on a dive tour like everyone else.

Check out my description. We aren't allowed to get close too.. but the whaleshark keep coming to us. As for gopro.. to u need to install gopro labs to set bitrate to 180. Maybe u post your video? I take a look?

Haha they are really cute with those big eyes. Generally thresher sharks are very shy. Hence when they did not see me.. I swim forward.. when they are looking I breathe out very little bubble, stay low to sea bed and don't look eye to eye.. this is how I get close to them

Gopro color: flat Auto white balance Iso max 800 or 400 Ev comp -0.5 Hypersmooth : on / autoboost 4k60fps Do check what gear I'm using for these setting in the description

Thank you so much! My friend!

Thank you so much!

@@lazydivermel hi friend,which part of Cebu is very suitable for me as a beginner in diving😂?

I'm glad you like it! Check out Olsob ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5mthJquecSZhqMsi=ZCxVE-tmbpuwM88j

Hi I don't stand or touch anything. It's all about getting neutral buoyancy and hovering to get smooth shots

Wish to go back there too

Nope can't use strobe or video light at the tresher shark point . Thank u so much

@@lazydivermel and you did not use a red filter either. How much post processing did you have to do with the videos? Also, what is the depth where the thresher sharks are?

@shotsbyscott6243 quite shallow less than 18m I guess.. as for post processing yes it's painful without lights.. but because its shallow it's easier with sunlight

@@lazydivermel The GoPro does not work well at 18m without lights is what I have found. Have you tried a red filter? Also, found red filters at this depth made the scene to dark and had to raise the ISO to a high level which made the video too grainy and unusable for my taste.

@shotsbyscott6243 sorry for the late reply. you see.. for red filter it cuts even more light which slow down the gopro shutter.. if I'm not using lights I'll just post process and pray.. haha but sometimes u see where is the sun make sure it's behind you.. as for most of my dives I uses video lights and get as close as possible.. video lights won't work more than 3m. Hence I use AOI lens wide angle lens to let me get even closer.. once u are 0.5m away from subject and using lights it will turn everything true to life colors.. u don't need red filter at all.. secondly all videos need to color correct in post because gopro tends to look green in water.. hence in post u need to pull down the green and increase blue a little and red offsets. Currently I'm trying red filter on gopro and blue filter on my video lights

I don't think so. Minimum padi advanced open water diver.

Whale sharks there love and enjoy to play with bubbles. The fact is they came to us! Touching them will resulted the diver to be banned. It isn't horrible for them at all

Whale sharks concentrate in several parts of the world and in all cases it is because of the food( plancton ) not the bubbles and the tourists. If someone is feeding them using some other not natural procedures, it is not cool.

Hi it's a small island there is only 1 dive site to observe thresher shark

@@lazydivermelyour so lucky you know how to dive underwater me cannot

@geraldineanzon9636 never too late to learn!

@@lazydivermel soon because I will go home for vacation ❤️❤️❤️I’m your new friend 😂

@geraldineanzon9636 sure! Check out my other philiphines diving videos too! Diving inspire me in many parts of my life!

Hey its not overbuilt. There aren't any vehicles on the island(no polution). Houses built are very traditional without heavy machinery. Its definitely worth the long way there. Local are extremely friendly and diversity and corals are very rich in marine life

Malapascua is definitely NOT over built, it is a very beautiful place. I will be going there again in May. Hello Malapascua.

Alright do share with me your video link

@@lazydivermel Thank youuu soo much! ❤️ It is still being edited at the moment, will send the link once uploaded. God bless po and More Power

U can't use lights on that particular dive site however I dive other sites which is OK to use lights

Thank you so much for the kind words! This truely makes my day!

Hi u can check out oslobgentlegiants.com

why there are no snorkelers in the water? when was this video made?

We went deeper and further till no snorkelers😂 in may 2023

@@lazydivermel who did u dive with? Which diveshop?

oslobgentlegiants.com

Hi there! Lighting is very important due to the small sensor. Generally i have a few profiles but for most cases.. ISO MAX 400 4K60p Sharpness medium White balance: match to video lights or 5500K. The trick is post processing to adjust the white balance in gopro app (adding more blues) and then color correct(davinci) by adding more red curves. Just to take note that lights or not.. color correction is needed.. let me know if this helps?

Thank you!

Thank you so much !

Hi there thank you! Im using DF50 for this video. And have been using it for 2 years already. So far the pros are its durable (if u replace the ball mount to a screw and ball mount 2pc set). Type C charging. Bright for close focus wide angle. And the cons are that. 1. The original 1pc ball mount might break if you over tighten it and once its broke u probably going to end up buying a new one set 2. It is heavy u need float arms to compensate 3. Still need to color correction a fair bit for the videos.

@@lazydivermel Thanks for the detailed explanation! Sounds like DF50 is a good option for a casual shooter like me!!!

@@JellyJofool yes indeed its a good option. Just dont forget to buy and replace the original ball mount. With those 1inch ball mount with adjustable 1/4 inch screw (2 separate piece). Thank me later. The orignal ball mount if u overtighten it with your hand you can break it and it is stuck inside the torch forever

@@lazydivermel 🫡🫡🫡 Roger that sir! Really looking forward to try it out and of course with new ball mount!!

@@JellyJofool looking forward to your videos!

Wonderful place! Definitely will visit there again!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Thanks rebecca im using Trustfire DF50 video lights x 2 but i mod the arm ball mount to something more solid. As there is a tenancy that the arm joint might break at the screw on area. Most videos in the shallow (less than 5m) are without lights the rest all using lights and color corrected

Do not jump into investing video lights but forget about camera bouyancy. If its too heavy u need to offset with float arms.. these DF50 lights are like rocks. Its heavy..
