ご丁寧なコメントありがとうございます。 私の日本語はとても下手なので、英語で返信させていただきます。I've subscribed to your channel and viewed some of your videos like 私の野鳥 秋～冬 Ⅰ, 2024 あけまして, 秋色, 錦秋, 長谷寺 and ひがんばな, and they give me good inspirations. I also visited your photo portfolio site and like your photos, and notice that you use the very nice Fujifilm X-H2 and used to shoot with the Nikon D800.

嬉しいコメントありがとうございます。 とても励みになります。 D800は私のお気に入りでしたが、ちょっと重いのでX-H2に変更しました。X-H2が上手に使えるようにがんばります・・・

Hola, muchas gracias

Thank you. Hope you enjoy it.

Thank-you, Iken-san!

Thanks for your compliments. The video was shot with a Panasonic GH4 and LX-100 in Nauticam housings. The depths vary from about 25-12m.

Thanks for the compliment. The following are the equipment I used: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 with Olympus M.Zuiko ED 12-50mm F3.5-6.3 EZ lens in Nauticam NA-GH4 housing and compatible focus gear, lens port and flip diopter holder Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 in Nauticam NA-LX100 housing with flip diopter holder Nauticam Compact Macro Converter CMC-1 Nauticam tray, and clamp and arm light mounting systems i-Torch Video Pro6 and i-Torch Video Pro6+

I used to travel for work to Seoul like twice a month and one of my best friends who I know from school in London is Korean. I've of course also watched "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring" by Kim Ki-Duk!

John Lye I assumed so :) Thank you for your great film!

I was diving in June last year and is currently considering another trip there. I think any time during the diving season is good as the mantas and sharks are always around except that there's a chance to see humpback whales during February and March.

thanks John.

Thanks for the compliments. I used the Panasonic LX100 in a Nauticam housing and video lights. I used a 5-mm full suit with a 5/3mm hooded vest and they were adequate although I felt a little chilly near the end during some dives as I get cold easily. You'll enjoy the trip.

Unfortunately, I think the video is blocked in Germany because of the copyright of the music I used. Thanks for watching.

Indeed a wonderful place to watch the little creatures.

Thank-you for your compliment.

Thanks for your compliments, I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. Unfortunately, I think the reason you can't view Part 3 is due to music copyright reason which blocks the video in some countries.

Thank-you!

+Niels Lindquist Thanks for the compliments. The workshop was indeed on photography but I participated even though I'm just a video shooter as there are many techniques in underwater photography that are applicable to video and there are always new ideas for adaptation. The other reason is that there are very few video-dedicated workshops in Asia unlike in the U.S. and I'm not sure about the situation in Europe. Stephen and Takako are professional photographers and I've never seen them shoot video unlike some pros who do both. An important aspect to these workshops is that they are really very informal and I learned much more while hanging out with the instructors and participants over a drink than during the more formal presentations. Just to let you know so that you don't get disappointed if you're expecting a structured program or course.

+John Lye - I can always do with some inspiration. A course like this could be one way of getting that (and watching great video like yours). We are actually shooting with the same gear (GH4, Nauticam), only I use the 60mm olympus and the 8mm panasonic fisheye. Even though I have +200 gigs of footage om my hd I can't seem to find the time to get the editing done once I get back home. The stuff I've finished is done on site, before passing out in the evening. Thx again and keep the videos coming :). Ill return the favor and upload some of my rough edited, dead silent snaps.. /N

+boook15 Thanks

Eugene Kwan Hi Eugene, thanks for the compliments.
