Sailfish Drama
Tuesday, 6 July 2010
Sailfish inhabit the warmer sections of every single ocean on our planet. Blue to grey in color they get their name from the erectile dorsal fin which is known as a sail – this often stretches all the way down their back and gives these fish their incredibly cool but cruel air. You will probably notice too their elongated bill which is reminiscent of a swordfish. In fishing circles they are known as billfish for that reason.
This amazing Sailfish Drama was caught on film at Isla Mujeres, Mexico in February 2010. The footage was captured with a RED One camera, using a Tokina 10-17mm lens, in a Deep RED Gates housing. There is some great musical accompaniment by Alan Williams to give the footage that extra thrill. This is really superb film making.
