The Glory of Galapagos Underwater

Darek Sepiolo created this stunning seven minute video showcasing the underwater wildlife beneath Galapagos Island. Inspired by Hans Zimmer's melodramatic music, he intentionally changed the lighting in certain frames. "The music is from Dark Knight so I purposely made some shots darker to reflect the music. A bit more drama," he says.

Sepiolo adds: "The [Sony] EX1 worked great. I shot most of the clips with ND1 actually. Regarding the sharpness... it looks much better without compression and played with original resolution 1080. Some shots could have been sharper but that were my first dives with this housing and I had some problems with focusing."

Comment by George Rix on July 22, 2010 at 7:22am: I really appreciate this video, it's beautiful and shows sharks as the less than dangerous animal they really are...most of them have already vanished into the shark fin soup bowls of the chinese midddle class and this has to stop.
