While at the local quarry, I shot a video demonstrating the rate and depth that different spectrum of light waves are absorbed by the water as you descend to 60 ft. I have not seen this demonstrated before. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d_B4UmgT6Y
The video what shot with a GoPro Hero 2 in a dive housing on a single dive. No special filters were used during the filming or post production.
While not perfect, I thought it would be interesting to share. As we descend, the picture quality is not quite as clear. I'm not sure if this is due to the particles in the water, the partial loss of ambient light, or if we were in the thermocline that occurs at that approximate depth since this was all done on one continuous shot - I shortened the video for convenience.
Enjoy! I hope you find this interesting. Feel free to link or use if desired.
