Up Close and Personal

Aloha again everyone and sorry for the long break between posts,

This summer has been busy!  The North Shore has been perfect for diving just about every day so far.  The marine life in Pupukea Marine Life Conservation District is continuing to flourish.  Thanks to all that help maintain the protected status!!!

I did have a significant breakthrough with my HD camera.  I finally figured out the “Tele-Macro” setting that allows me to get extreme close ups with amazing clarity.  The camera must be completely motionless or it looks like an earthquake.  This can be tough to do with current or surge, but I managed to stay still enough to get some good stuff.  Here is a quick little montage that Jamie has put together. I hope you enjoy it!

YouTube version.  This is easy to view but loses much of its quality when posted.

Very nice footage buddy! I tried watching it in the higher quality and my computer froze up. But what I did see looked awesome, so I had to watch the rest of it on your youtube link. Hope to talk to you guys soon. You guys rock!
