5D Mark 3 Slow Motion Test on Vimeo

This looks like it was taken in an aquarium and not wild. Was it also shot from the dry walk-way outside of the the thick aquarium glass?

You're right, It would be miracle if I got a shot like this in the wild. I don't think the school of fish would come that close! :) I'd imagine they would keep a distance, just like they are keeping a distance when the seal dove down at the start of the video.

I believe that's a platypus, not a seal. Nice video!

Thanks! Now that I look at it again... I think it's an otter.

For a slow motion video there is a lack of things getting smashed. ;)

It is a sea otter. Plus the fact that the fish in the video are all salt-water species and a Platypus is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australian fresh-waters.

haha! Yep. The title "Slow Motion Test @ 5000 ISO" does look like 5000 fps! :)
