Diving Puako January 11 2025
Not the most interesting dive, but there's always something to see. Entry/exit conditions were a bit rough, so I just brought my little Paralenz action camera stuffed up my jacket sleeve. The end of the clip of the peacock razor wrasse was slowed down to 1/4 speed as it dive into the sand.

Conditions were better suited for surfing today, but we managed to get a dive in anyway. I used my Paralenz action camera because it's so small I can stuff it up my sleeve and out of the way when entering and exiting through the rough water. It has a wide angle lens and can't focus very close, so it wasn't ideal for some of the small things we saw on the dive, like a baby peacock razor wrasse t...

Two tanks from 'Alula Beach, also known as Dog's Beach and Crescent Beach, at Honokohau Small Boat Harbor in Kailua-Kona Hawaii. While we saw several tiger sharks on these dives, they were at times when the visibility wasn't as good and I wasn't able to get any video. I did manage to get some good clips of two spotted eagle rays. The first one was in relatively shallow water (20 to 30 feet deep...

Two tanks with Kohala Divers on Hawaii Island. The first tank started at the Keikei Caverns mooring, and we dove to Horseshoe (the next mooring up the coast) and back. It started with a female Whitley's Boxfish, then we saw a baby Frogfish, then a male Whitley's boxfish that was doing its best to avoid being cleaned by a Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse. Later, we saw a male Psychedelic Wrasse with its ...

This video mostly uses clips from boat tours of Doubtful Sound and Milford Sound, plus a few stops on the way back from Milford Sound. The Doubtful Sound portion includes some Fiordland Crested Penguins. The video is a bit shaky there since I was using a super-telephoto lens on a boat that was moving around a lot. Except for a couple of interludes with original sounds (where the cascading water...

These clips and photos come from three dives at Puako: A morning dive at lot 56 the morning of the 3rd, afternoon dive at Paniau (End-of-Road) at noon that day, and another Paniau dive the next day.

The second day we almost gave up looking when ...

      @@toddhackett I thought it required the studio version to edit 3D videos. After rendering what do you use to inject TH-cam Matada for 3D. If you did. It have did not have to do that would you mind sharing with me your process of uploading to TH-cam from rendering to upload. I would really appreciate it.

    • @toddhackett

      @@puresilverfilms I know that Studio has some additional 3D tools, and might be able to render for TH-cam, but they don't offer any sort of trial and I didn't want to invest without better understanding what the benefits would be. I know that it has some synchronizing tools, but the GoPro videos are perfectly synchronized to start with. I just create a double-wide video (3840x1080) and use tiles to make a side-by-side video (that allows me to do some zooming without the top clip encroaching on the bottom clip). Once I render it as a side-by-side I run it through ffmpeg (a free command-line download) to encode for TH-cam. With the video from Resolve in the same folder as the ffmpeg app, the command is "ffmpeg -i filename_in.mp4 -vcodec libx264 -x264opts "frame-packing=3" -vf stereo3d=sbsl:sbs2l filename_out.mp4". When I view the output on my computer, it looks like just one eye's view centered in the double-wide frame, but TH-cam takes it and shows it in various 3D formats depending on the device - anaglyph or 2D on a PC, anaglyph or VR on a phone, and side-by-side compressed on a TV (it apparently assumes that you have a 3D TV).

    As well as the dropped pups there are older non-flying orphans whose mothers did not return from foraging because they were killed or injured. Many mothers get electrocuted on overhead power lines or hit by cars. The orphans will starve or attempt to fly out with the colony , many won't make it. The colony watchers are wonderful caring people. Megabattie and Batusi Nights have videos of pups being reunited with their mothers on their channels. Mothers will revisit the location they dropped the pup for several nights , calling for the pup. Often they come with several "aunties" to help search. The pups will call back in response. Pups that are uninjured by the fall will climb the nearest tree so that it's mother can land and collect it. These are very intelligent creatures.
