Basking sharks feeding off Cornwall. UK. A total of 30 were spotted off Cornwall at the beginning of June 2009.
The film was shot with the new Sony HDR-XE520 HD camera. You can see more of my films & photography at underwaterimages.co.uk
Stock footage can be got through splashdowndirect.com

    Hi Dan,

    That is fantastic - great work. I really like how you can see the texture of the skin and the fact that you can get a real idea of the basking sharks physiology.

    Well done you!
    Cheers
    Pete

    nice lighting. Never seen video as close and detailed before. Do you notice much quality difference now you have optical stabilisation (over the TG3) ? What enclosure are you using or is it one of yer home made jobs ? - off to sharm next week diving. got a 40m enclosure for my lumix fx37 so am gonna use that rather than my sony HDR-CX6 and see how it comes out.

    Nice one Dan! Had a few close encounters myself with these guys when i was living and surfing out of Falmouth. Some years you don't see them and others there are loads. Great camera work. Speak to you soon.
