INSANE SUPER MACRO with the Olympus TG6 (UNDERWATER)

I've been testing out the Olympus TG6 a ton underwater, and in this episode I do 2 more dives to search for some tiny critters!
Also, please do check @Brian Davies Scuba for more scuba diving adventure!

Running out of adjectives to describe your magnificent videography! I appreciate you working hard to show us these spectacular critters. You and Judia are cute! Nice chemistry.

[@CritterHunter]

Hehe thanks again

[@BurhanMuntasser]

My friend you prove again and again that it isn't about how expensive or fancy the camera or about the "specs" of the camera, it is mostly about the skill, passion and dedication of the human holding the camera. You add the personality and humility to go along with all of that to make an awesome and very enjoyable experience watching your videos to the point of being addictive. I wish more and more success and recognition you deserve!!

[@BurhanMuntasser]

(I hope that I wasn't too mushy above :) )

[@CritterHunter]

Thanks bud

[@YouWillBe322]

Wow, I am so getting a camera like this. :D

[@geoffreyboucher7068]

Always a pleasure watching your videos Justin,,, peace and happiness to everyone out there,,,

[@CritterHunter]

Thanks bud!

[@enqiyang2829]

Great captures! But man is that water murky. Hate when that happens.

[@bevrogers1412]

Great vlog!

[@nedbelasoto5766]

I’ve noticed it’s getting better and better (quality videos) every episode just don’t know if you upgrade some of your equipments, thanks again

[@binjwan]

Great video, I really enjoyed it! That slug you found at the beginning (5:05) is actually a sacoglossan, Plakobranchus papua. And those little black dots are actually its rudimentary eye spots, able to just sense light and dark. I am obsessed with sacoglossans, so it was really cool to see this species.

[@roadtothephilippines8644]

Another awesome video Justin. And yes, this is the real “Road to the Philippines” lol 😂

[@turgutvelettin6727]

Nice One Justin Stay Safe Dive Safe😍😍😍

[@CritterHunter]

Thanks man

[@jeffhoppe4953]

Wow! Great shots! what are your f stop other settings, please. I dive with a TG-6 and am always having difficulty getting those awesome close up, clear shots of yours. Thanks again!

[@brentfolan]

Do you have a video of your gear setup? Planning to buy the TG-6, but need to figure out what kind of lighting I need!

[@everythingscuba]

We are still waiting for you to do a Philippino Butterflyfish video after challenging you back from our Caribbean Butterflyfish video....so yes my Scottish neice would love to see that ! lol

[@MrReivilos]

One of the few videos of the underwater camera TG6 actually underwater and shooting ...

[@CritterHunter]

I got a new one with tg7 too

[@neilgunns8391]

That walking cucumber thing was crazy. I'd love to see what it looks like underneath. Don't snooze on that common stuff. If I had to guess what most people would like to see it would be seahorses, turtles, rays and sharks. I'm talking your average non critter hunter person. A video of those butterfly fish would be cool. Obviously a whale and dolphin also, but I doubt you'll see them there. I'm so curious where the heck those frog fish go outta season. Gonna Google it n see if anyone knows. I just can't see them going far. It is unfortunate that fishermen are catching the fish you're try to film, but if I lived there and had to feed my family, I'm sure I'd be doing the same thing.

[@dennybe]

Super macro, super kewl Challenge accepted hahaha. Good job, man. Ang galing mo.

[@CritterHunter]

How's lock down in PG?

[@dennybe]

@@CritterHunter rather open

[@yaniskaramalengos6022]

what kind of settings did you use for those shots ?? full Hd 120 fps ?

[@theexpatteacher8255]

Hi Justin. Great job with the video, I can see the critters so clearly. Are you using a light with the TG-6? How does the TG-6 compare to the GoPro 7? I dive with a GoPro 7, but I need to get a light to see the critters better.

[@CritterHunter]

Yes always a light. It would be horrible without a light. And it's much better than my gopro

[@mariawilmaaramil6056]

first time to see tha orangutan crab yah looks like orangutan in borneo 😂 and the pipefish eggs wow becoming a prof. critter diver✌🏻 keep on exploring stay safe everyone ✌🏻✌🏻🍀☘️

[@CritterHunter]

Thanks Maria!

[@brendonsoong8442]

Amazing shots! How do you stay so still while filming? Is your camera rig neutrally buoyant?

[@CritterHunter]

No it's negative. I just prop it on a stick or I stay still. And I shoot in slow motion to make more smooth

[@minafepudan1736]

[@bob-jb8eh]

Hi, I would like some advice. I'm undecided whether to buy a Go Pro 12 or the Olympus TG7. What do you recommend? I would use it for photographing landscapes and especially for snorkeling. Can filters be mounted on the Olympus TG7? Thank you

[@CritterHunter]

I think the Olympus TG-7.

[@bob-jb8eh]

@@CritterHunter thank vm

[@lyleng90]

I’m amaze how do you hold your shots so stable for macros? Could you do a video on tips & tricks for macro video?

[@CritterHunter]

I use a underwater tripod a lot, but maybe I'll make a video some day

[@stevenkrijger4155]

The Chromodoris colemani is a Chromodoris annae. The snake eel is a dark shouldered snake eel.

[@CritterHunter]

It was a toss-up in the book which it was

[@turnigan5145]

Frog fish with the tube worm.

[@CritterHunter]

Oh ya that

[@lundaspecial]

Amazing, where was these dives?

[@CritterHunter]

All over dauin

[@Yoko.Kurama]

Does it shoo at normal resolution when using microscope mode?

[@CritterHunter]

Yep

[@user-bv5ux4nj2h]

You mentioned a book where you looked up the name of the species. What is the name of the book and where can I get one? Oh, by the way, nice video.

[@CritterHunter]

Just on Amazon now. Nudibranch of Dauin

[@guzzisan21]

What kind of lighting do you use?

[@CritterHunter]

Backscatter video lights

[@putraborneodiving6019]

did you take this video using a macro lens?

[@CritterHunter]

Nope

[@jacegreen3696]

Ghost pipefishes are a bit more old-fashioned and don’t want anything to do with that modern male kind of stuff. With them, it’s the female that has a brooding pouch, gets pregnant and gives birth.

[@CritterHunter]

Aw really? Interesting

[@scubadaisy5258]

Nice shots of pregnant man and/or woman👨‍👩‍👦

[@stevenkrijger4155]

This is a male, not a female. "The presumed juveniles and subadults are jet black with a yellow dorsal fin, in adult males the black is replaced by blue, and adult females are entirely yellow or yellow with some blue to the posterior".

[@CritterHunter]

If that is true, there are basically no females in the whole area
