  • Servus Ihr zwei, wieder ganz tolle Aufnahmen. Die Delfine am Anfang waren richtig cool. Ja, die Strömung im Meer ist und bleibt einfach unberechenbar. Manchmal kommt man sich vor wie in einem Fluss. Trotz der Strömung habt Ihr top Aufnahmen hinbekommen. Respekt 👍 Viele Grüße Häign

  • Auch wenn die GoPro mit den Lichtverhältnissen nicht klar kam und du zu wenig Licht hattest, das Video ist super geworden. Eine herrlich schöne Unterwasserwelt, wieder mal super in Szene gesetzt und der Soundtrack ist auch stimmig. Die Atmosphäre ist greifbar…. TOP Arbeit 👍🏼👍
