Stunning video! I heard wonders about Alor... this video just came to confirm that!

Yet another amazing masterpiece from you 😍

[@naucratesuw]

Thanks a lot 🙏🏻😊

[@Snorkellovers]

genial!!! En junio voy a Alor!!!

[@naucratesuw]

Espero que lo disfrutes! Es uno de mis lugares preferidos.

[@tsarabanjina]

So heathly, so beautiful thank you. I will be in Alor in few weeks, and hope to see this kind of view and scenery as I am snorkeler non diver, and hope to find strange creatture like frogfish, rhinopias, crab, shrimf, sea apple ... but perhaps only divers can ?

[@naucratesuw]

Apologizes about the delay. I hope you had a great time in Alor!

[@tsarabanjina]

@@naucratesuw yes we have and found creatures

[@diveodyssey]

Alor is an amazing experience - some strong currents though - got my own video to release soon, Alex, but nothing quite matches your amazing filmmaking. Impressive. (Mike)

[@naucratesuw]

Thanks a lot Mike 🙏🏻 Please let me know when, I will be happy to watch it. 😊

[@meityanggraini7727]

Another Masterpiece by the best underwater Cinematographer, my favorite Alex. Board the Seven seas if you want to visit incredible dive spots with most experience Dive Masters. And this guy Alex always so lucky to encounter many Huge Creatures. Did this Hammy were at Munaseli Alex ?

[@naucratesuw]

Thanks a lot Meity! Indeed! Munaseli twice. Although we went there a few times. Hugs!

[@SteuerM]

Hey Alex, great video, what color-profile do you use? V-Log?

[@naucratesuw]

Thanks Marcel, yes, V-Log. Cheers

[@SteuerM]

@@naucratesuw Thanks for reply. And then you go on by using LUTs? thanks again

[@naucratesuw]

@@SteuerM My pleasure. Not really, LUTs are quite useless for underwater purposes. All the shots are color graded individually (one by one) using DaVinci Resolve.

[@alfonsoribote6698]

Pasote 😍😍

[@naucratesuw]

Jajaja! Gracias Alfonso!

[@BenjaminValenzuelaWallis]

Amazing work of art man, bravo. Cheers from Chile!! Ps: how do u expose underwater?

[@naucratesuw]

Thank you Benjamin! 🙏🏻😊 I use the waveform to know where my luma is at all times 🙌🏻

[@BenjaminValenzuelaWallis]

@@naucratesuw perfect I see, usually you underexpose underwater?

[@naucratesuw]

@@BenjaminValenzuelaWallis Actually is on the contrary. I try to over expose a bit. Although it depends on the depth, sunshine, visibility, etc. I never go above 1600 ISO on the GH5S.

[@BenjaminValenzuelaWallis]

@@naucratesuw thanks Alex! Love the outcome of it! I have a Gh5 but always find the underwater shots to be a little more difficult to expose. Good luck and cheers !!

[@zeusfaber]

Me gustaría preguntarte una duda Álex, si no es mucho pedir :P ¿Usas filtros ND polarizados para las tomas de dron (recalco lo de polarizados)? Muchas gracias de antemano :)

[@naucratesuw]

Hola Jorge, Sin problemas, de hecho tienes la lista de todo el equipo que uso en todos y cada uno de mis cortos, dentro de las descripciones de cada video. Tal y como aparece, uso los filtros Freewel ND/PL. Son filtros ND (Neutral Density) y PL (polarizados). Saludos!

[@zeusfaber]

@@naucratesuw genial, muchas gracias!

[@floppythresher3324]

you should join behind the mask team!

[@naucratesuw]

Thanks! We had some conversations :)
