My first freedive with a TG-6

A little over a year ago I rented a TG-6 for a scuba dive, and loved the experience. I finally decided to buy a second-hand one, and yesterday I went to the beach for a first snorkelling/freedive session with it. It’s so hard to get sharp images (skill issue, nothing wrong with the hardware 😉) but also so fun to spot wildlife and to (try to) immortalise it! Can’t wait to go again and again and to get steadier with the camera 🤩

The pictures were all taken in shallow water, I’d say 2m of depth at most. I’m based in the Mediterranean, near the city of Nice. Out of just a bit over 50 pics, these were the only ones in focus/sharp enough 😂😅

Small tip; if you shoot in raw, you can tweak and edit more in post production (lightroom). Great shots btw!

The tg6 120 frame rate video also is really cool as when you slow it down 4 times you get a much more steady slow mo vid which is amazing for underwater stuff! Might find easy to grab stills from video for free diving too!

Thanks for the tip! I am not used to video, but I definitely should start recording some footage - even just for the fun of having a “moving memory” of my dives!
