A dramatic blue water sperm whale encounter shot by Howard Hall along with the other clips you see below.




"The Blue Ocean In Red

This video is my "best of" collection for the past year. Image capture was with the RED One camera using Nikon lenses. Locations include the Maldives, Alaska, California, Cocos Island Costa Rica, and Mexico. Music was composed by Shie Rozow."




Some impressive imagery of Mike Hall shooting shark footage for an IMAX feature with the "most impractical UW camera ever created."



"Sailfish Drama was captured at Isla Mujeres, Mexico in February 2010. The footage was captured with a RED One camera, using a Tokina 10-17mm lens, in a Deep RED Gates housing. The video was down-sampled to 720 24p from the original 4K RED files. The music was composed by Alan Williams for the IMAX feature, Island of the Sharks, which I directed in 1998. Howard Hall"

UW photographers heads up! Lack of attention to the obvious isn't much of an excuse if you end up in the alimentary tract of a plankton eater. Goes against nature after all! They say 600 whale sharks showed up to nosh on tuna spawn en masse.

Apparently the photographer, Maurice Handler out of New England takes photo expeditions down to the Yucatan to photograph whale sharks. More at: http://handlerphoto.com/?pageID=400827
