kng, can you email me your mola2 video clips? :D
Thanks Beivied for organising! And Frisky & Waisj for the fantastic photos... got new standard to aim for now. hee.

Lanxx... we were waiting for you!!! ;) Anyway, the whole clip is 300+MB in size (640x480 video, 5.5min cos got intro & other stuff) so let me try to downsample it and cut out some scenes. If i can get it down to 1-2MB, can email to you.

Can some kind person PLEASE PM me the beivied photo!!!! I haven't seen yet! :cry:

Sehsuan, its the photographer, not the camera!! 4040 still good leh!

Indeed, this is the longest thread - hope the mods don't close us down. If we move to a yahoo group, new photographers won't be able to join in anymore. how?? :(

Sounds like quite a feat........ I got an idea, from 30fps to 3spf....... :bsmilie:

Personally I would prefer the general discussion to stay here, except for some specific outing information and such.

Hi Kng,

Which camera did you use to shoot those 640x480 video har?
Forgot liao........
 

Hi there all just wanted to share what the MODs replied me... well it is about time we expressed interest in the forums and subforums...



Hi Jason,

The normal way for members to request a new sub-forum is to show that
there is
enough interest and posts that will justify one - otherwise, we will
end up
with too many sub-forums.

If you can gather enough users to justify then we will definitely look
into
creating one. For the meantime, we will monitor the # of underwater-
photography related posts.

A70 lah. Dunno why canon is not implementing the 640x320 video across all their models - new A80 won't have this.

Thanks guys for coming up with the list of pple for a new sub-forum - we need to encourage more pple to come into this thread. Am sure there are MORE divers lurking out there. HELLO HELLO???

Lanxx, sorree tried and tried downsampling and recompressing the video last night :sweat: Cut out half the footage, downsampled to 320x240 and managed to get it down to about 7MB (from 350MB) but can hardly see any detail anymore. :cry: Next round show you again, ok?

Hi Denizenx

Think the package is not so worthwhile. Checked the nusdive website:

"Dive Phuket Adventure - Package B
Dives:
Rachai Yai : 02 Dives
Shark Point : 03 Dives
Phi Phi Island : 02 Dives
Similan Island Day 1: 04 Dives including night dive
Similan Island Day 2: 03 Dives"


The trip doesn't even go to Richelieu rock & Surin, which are the best sites. You want as many days there as possible. Similans are not bad but i hear have been a bit over-dived. The other dive sites listed in the package are, IMHO, forgettable. Vincent's similans package cld be worth investigating - he seems to spend more days in surin & richelieu rock compared to other operators.
