Bonito 360

I have always wanted to shoot some 360 panoramas underwater. I was recently at Bonito in Brazil and thought it was a perfect place to try it. It turned to be not an easy task, once everything underwater is moving, from fish to the water surface. To make things worst there was a very big luminosity difference around the springs and the loss of sharpness towards the image corners due to the dome port caused problems when it was time to built the panoramic image. At Rio da Prata there was an extra issue, as a large group of small fish insisted in taking shelter a few inches from my camera. Despite all this, I think the result was ok.

Many thanks to my friend Juca at Ygarapé and friends at Rio da Prata e Baía Bonita.
