Growing up in South Africa he should be used to dealing with sharks.

Great video, instructive, not a lot on the technic being used again.. but the video is quite interesting. I think that lots of people wants to show what they are doing but they don’t want to give any secrets hahaha.

Quick question: Is there a reason why in the video he didn’t correct the dirt spot in the lense? I’m sure it can be done in post processing right?
