What a crock of manure! There is three tenths of one percent CO2 in the air we breathe. Multiple scientific studies show this. That is up from 2 1/2 percent as near as we can tell from 100 years ago. This ever so slight increase is contributing to the greening of the planet which creates more oxygen for us to breathe. I don’t deny the tragedy of dying coral reefs but blaming it on “fossil fuels” is incorrect. And oil is not a fossil fuel created by dead dinosaurs. Fertilizer runoff and other sources of pollution are more likely to be responsible.
Sure they may not be "dead " until the water drop back down in temperature , problem is back to back heat in the water doesnt give the coral a chance to regrown , the consistent heat issues will eventually kill the coral
Confident they are not dead. Corals can survive without their photosynthetic algae for a short period (few weeks/ months). When water temps drop, the algae will return. (Which it has recovered very well actually since posting this)
Thanks for the advice Recently I’ve tried to do manual white balance with a Sony camera but it goes to 9900k. Any advice for setting the correct white balance? I’ve done it with a white balance card (I didn’t have a tank or fins). Should the card be illuminated? Thank you
Thanks to your video I’m confident in booking the excursion to scuba dive as a non swimmer. Well I’m like beginner but I can do basic swimming moves. This video was really helpful, empowering, encouraging, and detailed. Thank you 🙏🏾🥹
Tom. love your videos, but on this particular one, I think you should be using less slow motion. I think the movement of the barracudas and the sharks is beautiful, and quite a show on itself. IN this case, the slow motion takes away rather than adding..
Hey! Amazing video! I am going soon, I want to do one day diving and see the most amount of animals as possible, which tour do you recomend for that? Do you recomend more going from Cairns or Port Douglas?
Amazing camerawork! Amazing clarity at that depth too! Do you use any filters or apps/color balancing afterwards or do you get this with just adjusting the camera underwater. I struggle with green a lot at the deeper sites here in Sydney
My strongest recommendation is learn manual white balance. This will overhaul your footage no matter how green the water is. I used to shoot in Sydney a lot - manual white balance is the key thing to learn for an UW shooter
Beautiful lighting Tom! I bought two Orcatorches recently. Also, just noticed that your comments are all coming from videographers; awesome. Talent does a great job too.
Thanks Peter. And congrats - they're epic lights! Been rocking mine for years now. And i've been noticing that lately as well. Brilliant to build a little community of us UW shooters!
