Very impressive. I was watching the last segment of the video, hoping that the footage was filmed at a high fph. Absolutely stunning the manner in wich the whalefish stopped dead in the water. Not a hint of movment save the currents, then in a flash it is gone--though its convulsive speed was perfectly captured. Excellent camera work. I feel stupid having not even heard of the existence of this footage. Thank you for airing it.
