Digital Analog

I’m often asked, if you shoot on film, how do I get my images? I explain that I scan the negatives and edit the files digitally. Next the photos are uploaded to my website where they can be viewed and downloaded as if they had been shot with a digital camera. “Isn’t that cheating?” Well no. You see, there’s no rule stating that if you shoot on film, the image can never be digitized. In fact,…

Headcanons for Kanto gym leaders + E4 cause I'm feeling it, let's go:

1. Brock is one of the biggest contributers to paleontology in Kanto.

He's pretty glad to go to the PWT cause he gets to meet pioneers in some of the digging tech/methods he uses like Roark & Byron, Clay, and Steven Stone.

He cries when he realises they know about him and were excited to meet him too.

2. Misty does a lot more swimming than anyone can even begin imagining, and makes friends with Marlon and Brawly because of her love for water.

When she and Green (having newly acquired his gym leader position) start interacting more, they can't stand talking to each other, but they both like swimming.

She really looks up to Lorelei, and NO ONE can know of this (funfact: everyone does)

3. Lt. Surge's electric fields are to keep his mind from going to crazy, owing to past traumas. Consider them a comfort item.

His electabuzz has been through everything with him; a pretty rough childhood (as an elekid) and a war we don't know much about.

His best (in as closest) friends are Sabrina, Koga, and Erica (the first two cause of Pokemon Adventures canon, and Erika cause everyone loves her).

He really doesn't like Wattson much, but he's a hardcore Elesa stan. He also has a deep respect for Skyla.

Him and Koga are an on-and-off thing; no, I don't make the rules.

4. Erika is the go to for practically everyone when they have emotional aches, and while she's more than glad to do it, it's a lot of baggage for her.

Surprise: She's the second friend Green makes as a gym leader (with the first being Surge).

She has a past as an idol, but she had a very painful split-up with her partner. Her partner now lives at the foot of Mt. Silver (this NPC is canonical btw, and her dialogue is really interesting. She also gives you a tm. Talking about HGSS here).

She's renowned in the beauty and fashion world; Wallace keeps trying to push her into contestant stuff, and she and Elesa share a mutual adoration for each other.

Her and Jasmine are SUPER good friends, and meet at least twice every month. People wouldn't know this, considering they're the type of friends who sort of insult each other, lol.

I know that Erika's is super long, that's cause I want to write something for her one day.

5. Koga is pretty good at fishing, but not so good at relationships. His divorce is evidence of that. There was no custody battle for Janine since she was an adult by the time Koga got his divorce (they had her young).

Respected in the more traditionalist Kanto/Johto circles, he and Falkner's father are highly respected.

Besties with Sabrina and Lt. Surge. Him and Surge have some weird thing going on, idk, don't ask me.

He really respects Agatha, but he's intimidated by her.

He really loves Roxie's music.

6. Sabrina is the giver of really good advice, when it comes to romantic/intimate stuff.

She's really laid back, and mostly just... chills. Most of her time outside of the gym is spent with friends, and especially Surge, Koga, and Morty.

She really isn't impressed by the nonsense going on between Koga and Surge, especially since it's a gamble whether or not they'll wake her up with all the noises during sleepovers.

Ostracised as a child for her psychic abilities, she's really glad that she's come into her own and found true friends.

7. Blaine really regrets a lot of his past, especially being one of the biggest contributors to project:MEW.

While working in the Cinnabar Mansion Lab, he wasn't the gym leader; Fuji was. Though him and Fuji are friends, it's still too painful for them to interact much.

Blaine's chosen type is fire for a strange fascination with something that's almost killed him multiple times throughout his life.

A lot of his gym staff consists people looking for a fresh start, because he himself knows the feeling of desperately wanting one.

8. Giovanni will feature somewhere else.

9. Green will probably get a piece of his own.

10. Janine will feature somewhere else.

11. Lorelei is one of the only non-Kanto-native to break this big in the history of Kanto and the Sevii Isles. She works herself to the bone to get to the root cause of the tension between the Sevii Islanders and the Kantonians.

Her love for plushies comes from never having had one until her early adulthood. She's sort of... preserving her childhood.

Pryce is her role model.

12. Bruno is related to Brock (a bit distantly) but they don't talk much about it.

Regularly spars against his pokemon to keep in form.

He's a sore loser.

He has a pretty hopeless crush on Lance. He thinks he's very discreet about it, but it's so obvious that even the tabloids don't cover it.

He's a pretty dandy chef.

13. Agatha is the pioneer user of the ghost-type, and she had to work super hard to get it officially recognised as a type. This is one of the many things she resents Samuel Oak for.

Uses ghost and poison for the interesting ways they complement each other.

She took Karen under her wing.

14. Lance has a lot of pressure on him as the representative and public face of three regions and his clan.

He lowkey envies other champions for having less work, but he loves how involved Cynthia is in her position as champion.

His mood really dipped when Red ran away and left the responsibility as champion to Lance, and he still resents him for it. The other E4 were really worried for him when they saw his mood.

He's the only person on this planet oblivious to Bruno's crush. Anyways, we can't blame 'em.

Eh, no more energy, that's it. I'm gone.

Glóry Be!

On tour with ‘Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye’ at the Glór Theatre in Ennis “See colour, See differences, Take chances, Before it gets too late” – Delorentos

Eugene’s got it covered

25 hours after I last left my bed with even less sleep this time and we’re on the road and on our way to the Glór theatre in Ennis. Today sees the third performance of the 2017 tour of ‘Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye’, written by Jim Nolan and produced by Garter Lane Arts Centre, and we’re up for the ride along with the production. The main road from Carrick was closed due to an accident the night before so we took a detour via the R680. Part of a slow convoy now, headed by 2 lorries travelling along a winding R road through Kilsheelan with woodland on each side. Leaf carpeted paths can be seen through the tangle with glimpses of forestry roads marked by yellow barriers. Intermittent houses with well kept plots nestle in the deciduous woodland affording views of the snow dusted Comeraghs that grow large on the horizon until we eventually pass them by.  

About an hour later the Glór Theatre come into view dressed in stone and clad in corrugated black metal with plate glass windows. The lines of the building broken up by slender silver splinters of Birch; the ladies well spaced along the curved path out front, reaching to the sky with their fine fronds. We came round the rear of the building just in time to see Lippy (lux), Martina (SM) and Michael (Prod Mgr) lined up on the loading bay beside the truck. We parked and entered via the huge stage doors and into the scene dock off stage right overlooked by the open balcony of the green room. 

Amy and Mike carrying through a flat

A few short steps and I was on the wide stage, looking out onto retractable tiered seating with a sweeping dress circle overhead. Lighting bars & trestles descended from the ceiling; rows of fresnels, parcans and spots suspended like jagged black fruit on the boughs with Lippy passing between them changing filters and making adjustments. Meanwhile Martina, Amy and Michael brought in the flats and lay them against the back wall ready to be assembled in place.

Lippy in his natural environment

With some guidance from the tech manager I wandered around the spacious purpose-built structure. Sun streamed in through the big windows of the public area out front, the exhibition on the 1st floor sprawled past the bounds of the gallery space down to the bright and spacious common areas of the atrium and café out front. Eddie, the part-time go-to of the Glór approached us one by one once the bulk of the flats had been carried through “Are you a tea or a coffee man?” he asks, a presumption I love.

By 11am the bright café is already starting to echo with chatter and the clink of morning teas, meanwhile not far away in the dim theatre Amy and Martina are on stage marking out the back line for the flats while Lippy & Eddie set the lights, the room clad quiet except for instructions passing to and fro. By 11.30 the flats start going up, Mike and Ger accompanied by the vvvvvt of screw guns and the world starts to take shape. At 2pm Lippy is on the Talloscope passing between the flats focusing the lights.  By 15.49 the last few repairs are being made to one of the desks, the stage all but ready for the imminent arrival of Jim Nolan (writer and director) and the cast.

Mike and Ger assembling the flats

Lippy at his station and Eddie who knows the string that binds all things 

Martina dressing Coyne’s desk

Time here passes with a smooth efficiency, not in staccato seconds but in fluid hours and unnoticed minutes filled with activity and endeavour. One by one the actors arrive; gathering for a quick press shot for next week’s papers in Dún Laoghaire. Lippy and Jim Nolan run through the audio levels ahead of the show. Backstage the light smell of cigarette smoke wafts in from outside signalling a rare break for the crew, and the low murmur of actors running their lines comes from over the balcony of the green room.

The stage is set. There is a stillness in the theatre, like a beast languid with deception but tensed and ready to move. Around 7pm Jim starts topping and tailing the scenes, running entrances and exits and transitions. A quick skip through the play with lines delivered out of meter, a curt and informal exchange between familiars. During all of this I was hunkered stage left, moving between the blacks and the shadows shooting the performers and Martina, now wearing her stage manager’s hat. 

The trick here is to provide minimal distraction, to be caught is to be executed on stage. Keep the head down and move quietly. The Fuji X-T10 I acquired last year is an absolute game changer for me, the electronic shutter and compact profile of the camera allows me to shoot in ways that were just impractical 6 months ago, and the f2 lens gives me the aperture I need to get the hitherto unseen shots.

Ema waiting for her cue

Behind the set I see the wait before the first entrance, light spilling from the aperture in the flats, the impression of a long hallway just an arch of wood with the form of an actor draped in a character’s skin waiting for their queue. The least seen moment before the most public one. The core of the matter. Theatre is a spectacle and a fabrication of reality. A world rests on a few lengths of 2 be 4. 6mm of plywood and paint looks like a 60 year old room ripped from a building and transposed to the stage for the characters to inhabit. A spectral space where humans become imaginary beings woven from the mind of the writer. The duality of actor and character; they are at once both themselves and the other. And just like a fabrication of the imagination, the whole construct comes down with a few well places motions in the physical realm; to be packed and moved into the mind’s eye of another theatre space. Half an hour to house. 15 mins to house. The sound of vocal warm-ups and stretches on stage, whoops and yawns and arpeggios. The illusion is set yet it is hard to leave by the door we came in through, to hit the road and head home. Garrett passes us in costume giving a small wave en route to the stage. The job feels unfinished and stepping out into the night feels surreal, like when engrossed in a book if you were to pause to look around; for a moment the two worlds kinda bleed into each other and you straddle the realms. We will accompany this tour to a few more venues, and will soon make up the hours in the strange thin temporary space between reality and performance.

Vintage camera review - Vivitar 220/SL with 50mm f/1.8

Intro

Always on the lookout for vintage cameras to try out, me and Kris (from 43 Stories) stumbled upon by chance on another long-lost closet treasure - her Grandfather's Vivitar 220/SL, complete with original strap and the Vivitar 50mm f/1.8. I was told the camera was originally bought for family candids of the grandkids but later also entered active duty in her Grandfather's business as a Private Investigator, chronicling the daily stream of evidence, clues and suspects. Quite honestly, the no-nonesense jet black finish of the camera lent it an aura of cool composure much more suited to covert snaps than trying to get the kids to smile. Seriously, the thing looks like something Darth Vader would carry around. Camera looked and felt like a tactical tool, with a weight of authority to it, oversized controls and chiseled, no-snag tapered lines.

First impressions aside, second impressions told me that this derelict detective's sidekick will need quite a lot of CLA to bring it up to spec. Viewfinder was dimmer than a dark forest path on a moonless night and the shutter was in no hurry to count the time at speeds of 1/30th and slower. Lens seemed almost opaque. Foam seals were stickier than gorilla glue and there were as many layers of dust on it as layers of family history, with the camera being handed down a couple of generations until it was ultimately phased out by its distant digital cousins. Oh, and the entire lens helicoid assembly, focus ring, front elements and all, rattled back and forth about half an inch. This one was going to be a piece of work.

History

Until this camera I honestly had nearly zero knowledge about Vivitar as a brand, always writing them off as not only a second-rate, but closer to third-rate third-party lens maker from the distant past. A regular in the discount dust bins of used camera stores, I wasn't expecting much from a body/lens package going for $10. Delving deeper into their history proved there was more than met the eye. An American company from California, in the late 30's two partners began importing first German and then later Japanese cameras into the US market. When it came time to expand in the 60's, they created the brand name Vivitar and started to make first their own lens, then bodies as well.

Turns out they were of pretty decent quality too. The design and construction of the lens was contracted to different factories at different times across the US, Europe and Japan. The bodies were made mostly by Cosina of Japan (as far as I could tell). All of these items were know for their great quality at a modest price, sold by the truckloads in department stores from one coast to another. An every man's camera.

Specs

Due to Vivitar not having exactly the same level of cachet as, say Leica, BMW or Apple, there are very few dedicated resources available online that would shed light on the more delicate historical intricacies of this particular product line. Best I could tell, the 220/SL was introduced in the mid 70's and was in production sometime into the early 80's. Was made by Cosina in Japan, ditto for the lens. M42 mount, accepts myriads of other lens spanning multiple decades and budgets.

Marketed as a mid-grade SLR, the package was decidedly minimalistic, save maybe for the light meter. After having handled a few significantly older cameras lately, shutter speeds of 1sec-1/1000sec seemed like a luxury. Bulb and cable release are always welcomed. Knurled knobs and medium stroke winder lever are decently ergonomic, nothing to rant about though. Viewfinder has a split center and circular prism focusing aids. Not sure about coverage, but I'm guessing around the 90% mark. Has a "film is loaded" indicator, might be useful for some, especially with multiple old cameras in circulation (wink wink).

Self timer, rewind knob, light meter activation switch. That's pretty much about it. CLA took longer than expected, all the lens elements were out of whack and the lens needed an entire reconstruction (with subsequent ground-glass-taped-to-film-plane focus calibration). Pentaprism had de-silvered and I could see a Milky Way through the viewfinder, but that requried too much work to fix so that had to be left alone for the time being. Shutter speeds and all related gearing was cleaned of lube-tuned-hard-wax and freshly oiled up and run through click-clack boot camp to bring it in sync. The meter was adjusted to work off the slightly higher voltage due to original spec batteries being discontinued for eons. Nowadays it takes 675 hearing aid batteries.

Design & build quality

This little black SLR’s design is a rather slippery little beast to nail down - split between being a 747 seat buckle on a 70’s Pan Am flight and an 80’s experimental stealthy lunch box for Lockheed F-117 pilots on covert combat sorties. Some might call it a little bland, lacking any embellishments that spearheaded Japanese SLR design of the time (think of the Pininfarina-envy dials and pentaprism housing of Olympus OM-1 and the pre-digital transformer-esque lines, panels and angles of the Canon AE-1), instead aspiring to the stoic looks of a 1981 Buick Century. But, if one does the math, it doesn’t look out of place at all. I quite like it - it’s a product of a less complicated time and a place where heavier meant better quality, and black meant professional. It may be a bit disproportionate here and there, but I enjoy its company. Besides, Mies van der Rohe would probably totally dig it, so it’s cool in my camp.

Where I do have a bone to pick is with the QA department. A little note on Cosina, where both the body and the lens was made in… As much as I respect and admire (nearly to the point of worship) quality products made in the Land of the Rising Sun, Cosina products get very little love from me. They are a company with an interesting history and a knack for innovation and at finding an ever-evolving niche for themselves. But most often that niche is inextricably tied to providing an increased value compared to the competition. I personally feel like they cheap out on the quality. I own a number of modern Voigtlander products (all made by Cosina) and in the short time I’ve had my Bessa R3M I’ve had a meter LED burn out (!) and, wait for it, the rubber grips are starting to unglue all around. Also had a really hard time adjusting the rangefinder (the mechanism was supposedly loctite’d by the factory, but a screw came loose that shouldn’t have anyway). Also have a brand-new Voigtlander VM 40mm f/1.4 Nokton Classic MC and the helicoid jams at times. Why? Also why does the little plastic red mount guide dot on my Voigtlander VM 21mm f/4 come off so easily? Why, oh why?? Now I’m starting to see why people shell out for Leicas (even though they have problems too). I guess Cosina has to cut corners somewhere.

All of this applies to a camera they made 30-40 years ago as well. Chop shops do a better 5-minute paint job on hot cars than this camera has ever been treated to. The shutter speed dial was coming loose. The hot shoe is crooked and the bakelite underneath it is starting to crack. The detent on the meter switch has gotten snuffed out. The pentaprism has started to de-silver. Badly. Heck, even the enamel they used to fill in the embossed lettering on the body has aged worse than the hieroglyphs on King Tut’s tomb. And don’t even get me started on the lens. That thing had more loose parts than a bucket full of loose… bolts. And that says a lot. It certainly cemented my opinion on the quality of used vintage Cosina and Vivitar products.

In use

Angry rants aside, as soon as the CLA was done it was time to put the hefty little slab of black steel to the test. Taken on a couple of street sorties several days apart, I’ve run a couple of rolls through it chronicling a wide gamut of topics, from moody bouts of existential angst in gentrified neighborhoods to an impromptu photo documentary of my niece and nephews’s trip to the zoo.

Mechanically, the camera operations were sound, predictable and relatively smooth. Biggest gripe on the first trip was the supremely dim viewfinder which made focusing possible only via f/8 + scale on lens. This was promptly remedied before the second trip (had to tear the entire top down and give it a hot bath). Focusing accuracy was dramatically improved after that and a reliable f/1.8 became almost within reach.

The meter pulled a total Pinocchio on me every single time I flipped the switch, almost making me regret the $7 I spent on the batteries, but luckily I was able to readjust the meter the second time I went in to clean the viewfinder/prism assembly. Like I said, the voltage of the only modern-day battery that would fit was a bit higher, so the pots inside had to be toned down. Metering is now in-sync with both of my Sekonics, and has a center-weighted pattern. For those curious, the prism houses two CdS cells. But I still relied on my Sekonics every time I pulled the shutter, as early pre-matrix meter tech was very temperamental.

With such a simple camera, there’s not really that much else to write about. It has nothing nostalgic about it for me, as do some of the older cameras I test, and it has no exotic features or form factors which might still pique my interest if all else fails. It is a photographic tool, one that just works. Somewhat clumsy at times, but works. I mean, the camera is just as fun to use for photos as a horse saddle is to sit on. They’re practically invisible. If the camera didn’t have the looks which I still admire, I would almost call the camera character-less. On a side note, I really enjoyed popping the back open with the little lever on the bottom. Haven’t seen that one before.

Image quality

Image quality is something that comes mainly from the lens and film being used. The Fuji Superia 200 that I used both times enjoys the reputation of rather mediocre film stock, with somewhat muted, true-to-life colors but still a somewhat solid, finely-grained structure. I know I can get sharp results from this film. But they were nowhere to be found on either of the two rolls I ran through. And it’s not just the sharpness, which is abysmal at f/1.8 and only becomes decent at f/5.6 (optimal at f/8 then a sudden rollercoaster drop into endless mush) - the contrast is nonexistent. I was really surprised that the lenses on the Made-in-USSR Zenit-B from ’70 and the Argus C3 from good-ol’ 1955 offered more contrast than this Japanese-made lens which might have even had computer input on the optical formula.

No visible distortions, flares irregularly, although appears to have some coating on it. Chromatic aberrations are there, but don’t bother much as long as you embrace the 70’s faded-textbook-color-photo look.  Honestly, by the time of the second outing I didn’t care much about the lens anymore or the image character it brings with it (was none), so I just skimmed past the rest of the planned tests. Bokeh is probably the nicest thing about the lens and, at f/1.8, there is generally plenty of it. Not too busy, not too bland - just the right level of blurry pop to bring the center subject truly into focus, just don’t forget to add a generous serving of unsharp mask to start seeing the hair details again.

Conclusions

So, it’s that time again, huh? What do I think of the camera? I look back at the review and notice how I started on a high note and then cycled lower and lower through the octaves, tapping out a brooding baseline in a D minor by the end. That’s how I feel about this camera. It gets you hooked with its looks (all black, must be pro) and heft (very heavy, must be reliable), but then starts to fail at impressing you with every stroke of the winder. Don’t get me wrong - it is a decent camera. If we just look at just the body and discard the almost-legally-blind lens it ships with (no, just no), it actually performs reasonable well and has competitive specs compared to its peers. But the biggest turn-off and the last nail in the coffin for me was the camera’s complete lack of character. This camera seems like it was made for citizens of Lucas’s dystopian THX 1138 or Equilibrium’s Libria, or some other dystopian work of fiction where people aren’t bothered by quaint silly little things like emotions and feelings. It works, just not on an emotional level.

PS: for the (ever so slightly more) money, just get a Canon AE-1 or a beat-up Pentax K-1000.

10 Waterproof Cameras To Get You Through New York’s (and the world’s) Hottest Summer

Suns out, buns out! It’s summertime in the city (and everywhere else, actually) and therefore time to start obnoxiously documenting every single water-related activity you partake in. Luckily, there’s a whole slew of high-end products on the market that are there to help you do just that.

Research and Markets, the world’s self-professed “largest market research store” has released a handy report entitled “Global Underwater Camera Market Analysis (2017-2023)”. However if you don’t want to read all 61 pages of it—or pay $1500 for the PDF (spoiler alert, I didn’t either)—then read below for an overview of cameras produced by the top ten companies with the most market share in the industry.

Olympus’ Tough TG-5 ($379)

The Olympus Tough TG-5 is as seemingly impenetrable as its name suggests. The state-of-the art camera comes in two colors—red or black—and boasts an impressive list of features: the device is waterproof, shockproof, crushproof, freezeproof, and even dustproof. Clearly marketed towards the rugged, outdoorsy, adventurous type—a man’s man, if you will—the camera will survive just about anything. Whether you’re diving fifty feet underwater in order to catch a shot of some monstrous sea thing that should probably never see the light of day, or if you for some reason decide to drop 220 pounds of weight on the thing (the ���crushproof” feature), the Tough TG-5 lives up to its name.

Nikon’s Coolpix W300 ($386.95)

The Nikon Coolpix W300 is sleek, compact, shiny, and comes in three different aesthetically pleasing shades: yellow, orange, or black. Although its name seems somewhat vanilla, don’t underestimate this tough little device, which can function at depths of up to 100 feet, is capable of withstanding drops from up to 7.9 feet, and temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit. No matter your water sport of choice—whether its snorkeling, surfing, or just f*cking around in the ocean, the Nikon Coolpix will give you the tools necessary to document your underwater travels.

FujiFilm’s FinePix XP130 ($159)

FujiFilm’s answer to the growing trend of underwater cameras is, like most of the devices on this list, pretty damn indestructible. It boasts depth capabilities of up to 65 feet, and is shockproof up to almost 6 feet. While it would no doubt be possible to break this thing unintentionally, you would have to be pretty careless or drunk to do so. The design is, in typical Fuji fashion, made to please, with a front that is largely decorative and available in white, dark silver, yellow, lime, or sky blue—depending on how edgy you want to be.

SONY’s RX0 ($698)

Sony’s boxy RX0 model is not necessarily the most visually appealing camera on the market, but it does boast a certain level of versatility and durability. The gadget is capable of shooting in super slow motion as well as shooting continuously at high speeds. While it is not quite as physically invincible as some of the other waterproof cameras out there, it still is functional at depths as low as 33 feet, and is shockproof at heights up to 6.5 feet. You can also drop a 440 pound person—or rock, or statue, or whatever—on it, and it will still work just the same.

Canon Powershot D30 ($329.99)

Canon’s underwater camera has you covered on depth—the device can plunge down 82 feet and still remain functional. The company’s website emphasizes that the certification range for an Open Water scuba diver is a mere 59 feet, so there’s really not much to complain about in that area. The device is also temperature resistant at an impressive range from 14 degrees Fahrenheit all the way to 104, so whether you’re participating in Coney Island’s yearly polar bear plunge (why?) or snorkeling off the coast of Florida, Canon’s got you covered. Too much sun causing all that nasty glare? The Powershot’s Sunlight LCD mode takes care of that, as well.

Go Pro’s Hero6 ($399)

  GoPros have long been near the top of the list for adventurous photographers, and indeed have been responsible for more than a few viral videos—most recently, this one of an almost too adorable 8-year old kid riding a BMX. However, GoPros are also handy for aquatic pursuits. Even without a case, the newest model (called the Hero6 Black) can sustain depths of up to 33 feet (the site doesn’t mention any particular shockproof or crushproof capabilities). Another nifty feature is the device’s voice command functions. All you gotta do is tell the thing to start recording and, ostensibly, it will listen.

Garmin Virb 360 ($799.99)

The Garmin Virb 360 is by no means cheap, coming in at a whopping $800, but the camera’s hi-tech features may just make the investment worth it. The device’s main pull is the fact that it shoots in—you guessed it—360 degrees. It is capable of producing fully 3-D videos, both horizontally and vertically, as well as in terms of audio. The boxy black gadget that looks like something you might find on an episode of Black Mirror is usable at depths of 33 feet, or 10 meters down. While it’s one of the more expensive models, the high quality videos it produces are indicative of its superiority.

Brinno’s TLC200 PRO w/ Weather Resistant Housing ($160 for both)

When it comes to the realm of high definition time-lapse videos, Brinno’s newest model is a pretty safe bet. The HDR (High Dynamic Range) device produces beautiful, high quality time lapses with the push of a button. You can even play the videos back right on the screen, without having to upload to a computer. The basic model is not waterproof, but a simple purchase of Weather Resistant Housing will make it so, allowing you to easily capture all the vibrant flurries of activity happening beneath the waves.

Panasonic’s Lumix Active Lifestyle Tough Camera ($139.99)

Panasonic’s Lifestyle Tough Camera is both affordable and cute—what more could you ask for? For all the filter lovers out there, the device contains “Creative Control” features wherein users can add effects including, but not limited to: “Expressive, Retro, High Key, Low Key, [and] Sepia”. There is a catch though—the camera is certainly waterproof, but only up to a certain degree. Out of all the gadgets on this list, this one has one of the least impressive depth capabilities—only functional up to 26 feet beneath the surface. Even so, it is still shockproof (up to 4.9 feet) and freezeproof (down to 14 degrees). As far as getting a bang for your buck goes, Lumix’s product seems to be a pretty good bargain.
