Here is an underwater movie about muckdiving at the Lembeh Strait in Indonesia.
Muckdiving is murky, indeed. There are no corals, only black sand, often bad visibility and sometimes there is even garbage around. You sure ask for the risen to dive in such places...the risen are the amazing critters. Once you slow down and take a closer look you´ll see the well camouflaged creatures living in such an inhospitable habitat. This movie features many of them. Like Mimik Oktopus and Wonderpus, hunting Flamboyent Cuttlefish, Crab Eyed Gobi, Velvetfish, a variety of Ghostpipes and Seahorses, Frogfishs, Ambon Scorpionfishs, Stragazer,... and a strange Crab running across the screen for several times. I´ve never seen that one.
Unfortunately no "kings of critters" like the Hairy Frogfish, Rhinopias or the Blue Ring Octopus. (Maybe the next time)

A long movie with 3 tracks by Tabolomegalo, Maya Filipic and Rob Costlow.

I´m looking forward your reviews.

    Great video Alex. There were plenty of critters I have never seen anywhere, like that boxfish that was black with yellow lines.

    The anglerfish rocked, I STILL have not seen one put its lure out like yours did.

    Thanks for your commend!

    There are black/orange boxfishs too.
    At the end of my video (or at the thumbnail)"Macro Muck" you can see one.
    No frogfish until now???? You sure will have a great time at Lembeh!!

    Saubere Aufnahmen! Ruhige Kameraführung und meistens auch gut freigestellte Motive (soweit im Einzelfall möglich ;-) )
    Da ich auch mit einer HC7 und HC9 filme (im Sealux-Gehäuse) fällt mir bei deinen Videos gleich wieder der Sony-spezifische Grünstich bei vielen Sequenzen auf. Darüber ärgere ich mich bei meinen Videos nämlich auch. Im allgemeinen gilt: Schlechte Sicht oder Schatten = Grünes Bild. Bei gut ausgeleuchteten Makro-Aufnahmen oder direkter Sonne von hinten sind die Farben ausgewogen. Ich hatte eigentlich gehofft, dass mit einer anderen Beleuchtung (LED?) dieses Problem behoben werden könnte. Bei der von dir verwendeten Sunray LED 1000 scheint das aber nicht der Fall zu sein - oder?

    Danke Michael!

    Es ist wie du geschrieben hast.
    Ich war auch oft zu weit vom Objekt entfernt.
