I'm glad we were able to make such a nice video with him so there is a great reminder of him. He was a kind soul.

I have been diving in that river with Alan as well. Found a beautiful pearl blue great white. Alan is a damn good guy and anyone that would like to dive the Cooper should definitely look him up!

Coin Horder, gators and sharks. Also, squids. Did you know that the Lionfish which are very poisonous are spreading throughout our ocean. A guy got stung by one and committed suicide because the pain was so severe and excruciating painful. Anyways, water that murky? I'd never dive down in. So yes. Great point.

Then that same day we went to an extinct volcano somewhere off the island , and of course a big ol shark showed up.

Ok, so I have an answer, a problem, and a question for you and your videographer buddies. In this video at mile marker 15:00 I see some striation in the light. So here is my answer: this is caused because you are using an LED light and LED tends to strobe on camera when using high fps 60, 120, etc. this particular striation is caused by a phenomenon called “shutter roll” but it usually just shows up as an annoying strobe. My problem: i like to get high fps (240) under water while doing action shots. However, as you know, the higher the fps the more light you need. My problem comes from the fact that all the underwater lighting I can find is LED and i get this reoccurring problem. My question: are there any “non LED” underwater lighting options out there and where do I find them? I’ve searched everywhere with no luck. Any guidance in this area would be greatly appreciated.

@BlueWorldTV

6 жыл бұрын

The waymanufacturers allow you to lower the brightness of an LED light is to flash it on and off really fast. It's actually really hard to reduce the brightness of an LED by normal "dimming" (lowering the current to the LED) so they run it at full power but flash it on and off really fast. Your eyes can't see the flashing, but the camera can. To make the light 1/2 brightness, they turn the LED on for a short period of time, then off for an equal amount of time. So on average the LED is illuminated for 1/2 as long, and that looks to our eyes like 1/2 brightness. It's actually full brightness alternating really quickly with zero brightness. If the rate at which the LED blinks is not significantly higher than the frame rate of your video, you can actually see the strobing in the video as striations in the light. Lights made specifically for video use a high frequency so they don't create these striations. In the Megalodon video, the light on my head was Alan's "headlight" for finding teeth--not a dedicated video light--and it was not flashing at a high enough frequency, so you can see the lines. However, it's interesting to note that at full power, most LED lights don't flash...the LEDs just stay on. So you won't get the lines. I didn't run the light at full power in the Meg video because otherwise it wouldn't last the whole day, so we had to just deal with it. Note that our BigBlue video lights DO NOT have this issue, at least at the frame rates we use, up to 60 frames/sec. I have never tried them any higher than that (120 fps, 240 fps) but I will. Run your LEDs at full power and they should not create these patterns.

The megalodon shark is my favorite

My diving instructor was telling us about his Cooper River diving finds!! Said he's found bunches of megalodon teeth and other cool historic artifacts! Definitely on my bucket list to dive in that river!

Wow, this would be my dream trip. I’d go in a heartbeat. There are a few rivers in my home state of Fl. Where you can find them but it can get dangerous because of not only lack of visibility but snakes and worse, alligators.

Gosh, Jonathan, you lived my nightmare diving in such murky water. You are really brave

Very cool!! I’m addicted to diving for shark teeth!
