FAR OUT! Enjoyed the videos, makes me sick I cant be there!

these are great! I'll be there in a week, and these are continuing to build up the excitement. Plus they are great for practicing fish identification. Anything I can't identify, I just pause, do some research, and feel that I've learned another fish - and are more ready for my visit.

The music from that segment is "Ndincedeni" by "The Dalom Kids".

Roger, beautiful job on the videos! I loved the high resolution Bari reef. It brings me pleasant memories of our January trip (My wife and I stayed at the Sand$ and got married in Bonaire). Enjoyed it a lot! My only complaint is the harassing of the marine life by the diver with the pointer. Maybe that's only my view, but I don't know what else you would call it (Definitely not "interaction") I'm surprised other people haven't pointed this out... Thanks for sharing though. Good luck and happy diving (sans pointer) Coach Izzy

Agree with all the above, excellent video but the pointer shoulda stayed on shore. A question, the little shrimp in the anemone, Maybe pedersons, was it pregnant.....I've never seen one that large, it almost looks fat.

Thanks Israel & Joe. Israel, your profile brings back memories when we lived in Pequannock, just down the road from Clifton!

Lovely videos, Roger. I, too, had noticed the pointing at the flounder in one shot but did not notice there was a "pointer" other than one's finger. I have mixed emotions about the pointer, but I am not an expert in this field.

Cool videos. I've watched at least one almost every day since they were posted. Why do I do this to myself?

Just watched the 18th Palm video again. Saw one diver with gloves on holding on to the reef in one scene. I feel compelled to point out that unless something has changed on Bonaire that I am unaware of, gloves on Bonaire are a no go except on anchor lines. I point this out primarily for those who may watch these excellent videos and who may be going to Bonaire for the lst time.

Marcus, you are absolutely correct about the gloves.

Roger, I'll be doing my first DV attempts in a few weeks on Bonaire. Are you using any additional light sources? Or is this normal ambiant light?
|
By Roger Burnham (BonaireTalker - Post #12) on Monday, July 19, 2004 - 5:52 pm: |
Bert, I use only ambient light. Beyond a few feet, lights are useless anyway. I must say also that it seems the visibility has worsened over the last year, making it even more difficult to get good wide shots.

Thanks for the hints Roger.

It seems there is a clear difference in video quality between the lower rez and higher rez videos. I assume all these videos were done with the same camcorder. I'm curious to know how the higher rez video was filmed compared to the lower rez video. Excuse my ignorance; I don't know anything about camcorders. Thanks to anyone who can clarify this.

By Roger Burnham (BonaireTalker - Post #15) on Wednesday, August 4, 2004 - 6:28 pm: |
Marcus; The various versions all derive from one version; The uncompressed digital video (Sony VX2000 in this case) edited and saved as a master.

Thanks Roger. I just bought a Sony DCR-TRV38 and I'm currently working on the housing. Do you think I can get the quality of video with this camcorder that I see in your Bari Reef higher rez Video? Thanks Again.

There are many factors that go into the final quality of digital video. The main factors that will affect your quality vs mine are:
