Octopus video

My video of the octopus is posted over at flickr. Think this link will work:

It is a bit jumpy but then, how often does anyone get a chance to see one swimming. I ended it when the octopus kept going deeper into the shadows under a boat - thought he (she?) was going to ink us!

So beautiful! Octopi are my favorites...you were so lucky to see one out in the open seagrass like that!

Glad you are enjoying. My 10 YO daughter's video is up at Flickr too under my name. She had asked for a Liquid Image underwater camera mask for Christmas and for $90 it did pretty well. Photos weren't as good but that could be because she swims around too much and doesn't always take the time to wait for the shot. But, for $90 you get a decent mask (she never complained) and a video/still camera; not a bad deal.

Amazing!

What camera do you use? And how far away were you?

I have a Canon G9 in an underwater housing. And, we were probably in 6' deep water so we were right above it; I didn't zoom in at all for the film. They are such beautiful and smart creatures and I feel honored to have been able to swim with it.
