VIDEOS
One of my personal
goals on this trip was to get better underwater shots of Sea Lion than
I was able to get in the Galapagos. This goal was achieved!
I decided to make movies instead of trying to take still images.
My digital camera has a delay that often causes action shots to be
missed. Video solves this problem although the frames are only
320x240 pixels instead of the high resolution you get with a still
image. However, the video, in my opinion makes up for the
deficiency because you get to see the action. I even now see
things that I did not see while underwater with the Sea Lions, i.e., a
couple of them showed me their teeth as they quickly passed by...
Did not notice this while underwater...
Note that for the videos below, we ran into audio problems with the QuickTime viewer. Video was OK but audio was scrambled. Only three of the videos below have audio, the whale video, the dance video and the pinata video. If you are using the QuickTime plug-in in your browser, the audio will be scrambled. To play the video with decent audio, right-click the image, "Save Link Target as" and save the video file locally on your hard drive. Then use Windows Media Player to play the video file.
Click on one of the images below to cause the video to be played. (Typically brings upWindows Media Player to display the video on Windows 2000... May bring up some other viewer depending on what is on your system... Note above paragraph regarding QuickTime plug-in problem...)
