Ok so lemmie see if i can fire this one out, cable on the whisk, steel wool stuffed into the whisk, add sparking and spin around...but how do you spark the steel wool? 9 volt battery?

You're correct. I just used a lighter but a 9 volt can work too.

GoPro is awesome when nobody willing to be out in the cold with you. This was my chiweenie, GoPro, and me last winter in the backyard. [emoji3]

Here is a cool pic I took with my older GoPro Hero3 of the Grand Palace when I was in Bangkok, Thailand. It was impossible to get a picture of the whole building with my phone. I even tried a panorama picture and with the layout if the building, it didnt turn out good. The fish eye on the GoPro made this picture possible.

I will ask him about it. I am sure he has them stored somewhere. I am camera dumb.

any update on filter comparison shots? got a go pro hero 5 and am looking into the snorkel filter.

Use the red filter

for the snorkel if you are in clear blue water. If it is greenish, it is a different filter. My shots all turned out blurry. Here is one with a red filter on my tank since it is more blue and clear.

I really think it depends on what lights you run for which filter you would choose. With the new hero5, I don't think a filter is required with the (3) AI Hydra 52+HD's that I am running on my tank.

There are a lot of UW pics of different cameras on this thread:
https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/underwater-photography-questions.270997/

399$ GoPro Hero 5
39$ GoPro Dive housing
39$ GoPro Red filter
15$ GoPro Extra battery pack

105$ Tray from ebay
100$ for two video lights


Total
700$ish

Definitely go for the filters! I told myself I would color correct my pics, but it never happens - you take a million pics and when you come back off the vacation high, things get left in a folder....

Here is a pre and post correction photo taken by Alfrareef, although this took me 5 minutes to do in lightroom, its always better when all your pics have true colors and in RAW format to further tweak if need be

Also here is my Hero5 image, submitted for POTM (shame shame self promo)
No lights, snorkeling, would have probably been blurry without my rig, same goes for my movies

Couple more pics.

Wow nice!
How'd you that? Light the steel wool on fire.... how did you keep the GoPros shutter open for so long? or DSLR?

Thank you.
Youre right I set the steel wool on fire and spun it. I believe my settings were 20 sec shutter speed, all done with my GoPro Hero5.
