    Ophir Hill Mine - This Way Out Pool Underwater Shots



    Went to the Ophir Hill Mine and took some underwater photos and video footage of the This Way Out pond. At first we tried some photography, but quickly realized that the use of any flash was not possible because there was too much calcite in the water. We switched to video mode and started shooting. I forgot to turn on the audio and up the resolution, so that's why I did an audio commentary so there was some sort of audio.

    Need to go back and try again. This time with bigger lights and the ability to lower the camera deeper into the pool. And I would like to take some footage of the other pools.

    Thanks Jeff for all your help. And not pushing me into the pond.

      Very cool, I was wondering how those turned out. We need to bring an inflatable raft underground to the big ponds.
