Yes! Another bit of silliness in lieu of someone posting pictures of beaches and dancing. If you don't do something sensible, I do something silly!
This is a location available to all, not on some obscure northern beach. You will catch glimpses of the shore, but I have edited out anything to make it too easy! How was it done? I am using my Water Wolf camera fixed to the mask with the Velcro case and strap. Is it worth £125? That's up to you to decide. I have other uses for it, and so might you. It doesn't have to be used underwater, but it is saltwater proof which is handy on holiday. There is no battery swapping; the battery is integral. Micro USB charge and information transfer. Micro SD card to record. |

My guess would be the eastern end of the harbour, north side. Water's quite deep but clear, the steps in/out are stainless steel and there is some rocky foreshore that looks a tad familiar....

OK Mr photographic expert, how about some help with the problem of the camera on the boat? (A quick trip back from Alimnia! ) I have now got a recovery program so all is not lost, but it's still a puzzle. |

Well you were swimming/filming immediately below my perch of the last 5 or 6 years! Not that I swim in the harbour, but I watch SWLTBO and our neighbours do so from the safety of our sun shade!
On your problem with the movie cameras, my DSLR's have a 'guaranteed' operating temperature range of -10C to +40C. Guess daytime temperatures now must be mid to high 30s, so being cased as well will probably push the operating temps over 40C. The air movement from the boat's motion won't benefit the camera in side their protective cases. The only thing I can suggest that might have some benefit (and it'll test the theory of temperature causing the cameras to switch off) would be to cover the top and side of the camera case with a reflective material or black plastic to keep the sun off the case so that the air within doesn't get any direct light to warm it further. I did look up the camera model when I first read your post and it's weather sealed (but that's usually confined to rain and not the more damaging sea water). if the case comes apart, it might be possible to fix it so the front top and part of the sides are enclosed, protecting the camera from the worst of any sea water coming up over the front of the boat whist allowing some cooling air circulation.
Apart from that, can't offer any other suggestions as problem and the equipment is outside of my experience.
