Pilot whales in Raja Ampat

Raja Ampat, the center of the coral triangle, the area with highest marine biodiversity on earth, is an exceptional place for underwater photographers and underwater videographers. But sometimes, given by the unpredictability of nature some of the biggest marine wildlife spectacles can best be captured from the air.

Watch that exceptional movie of a large school of pilot whales taken - probably by the owner of the Pindito livaboard, Edi Frommenwile!

The Ring of Fire - Nu Parnupong

"The ring of fire" - the chain of islands towards the south east of Indonesia leading from Maumere on the island of Flores towards Alor and further across the Banda Sea connecting to the central Moluccan Islands around Ambon is one of the richest marine habitats on earth.

The chains of islands are mostly of volcanic origin. Hence, the name "the ring of fire".

Photographer Nu Parnupong shares a beautiful video from a trip following those islands across the Banda Sea.

Nikon D800 - Underwater Videography

Since a couple of years I am using a Nikon D800 camera in a Hugyfot housing for my underwater photography. So far I focused mainly on still images.

See the slideshow gallery below for some underwater macro photography from the Lembeh Strait, North-Sulawesi, Indonesia.

A more diverse collection of my work can be found in the underwater photography archive on my website www.andreasrmueller.com.


Lembeh Strait 2013 - Images by Andreas Mueller

Besides the excellent performance of the Nikon D800 camera for still photography, the camera has very good reputation if used in videography. I recorded once some short video sequences underwater. from a shallow dive at Middle Reef in Soma Bay, Egypt. And the result is very nice for an available light sequence and first try.

I do not know how often the Nikon D800 is used in underwater videography. Some other a little bit longer examples by videographer Rick Scott I found on YouTube:
