Not surprisingly, whereas 125W (halogen equivalent) is pretty bright for the human eye, it's barely sufficient for snapshot photography in the absolute darkness of an underwater cave. Still, I managed to take a few halfway decent photos, good enough for my travel journal.
Photography being hardly feasible, I switched to shooting videoclips in stead, a less demanding more forgiving art when it comes to lighting.
These 320x240 30fps low-res clips made me conscious of videography's power to record not just a nicely framed two dimensional moment in time, but a more realistic experience, potentially giving captivated viewers the sensation of being there themselves.
Which is exactly what I'd like to do this time around: To record high resolution live memories of cave diving in Yucatan.
