Dear Sir, May I know what camera did u use to be able to capture Bioluminescence?

TheRookie - 8 years ago

+91junny A normal camera? Bioluminescence is just normal light, it's just that on this particular occasion the red tide caused the water to phosphoress when it was disturbed. You don't need a special camera, just special circumstances for this kind of thing to happen

I might have to make plans with my girlfriend. I love beaches, but I've never been to one like this.

CAMERON AKRAM - 8 years ago

+Colin Anderson defensive mechanism. God didn't do this so that beaches look cool, this was most likely done by millions of years of evolution to deter predators as luminous colours symbolise toxicity -_-

Art of Revolution - 9 years ago

+Colin Anderson These plankton don't light up to be pretty for you. It's a defensive mechanism to scare off predators dumbass.

Pat H - 9 years ago

+Colin Anderson the history of the diversity of species is sensible, determinable; I don't quite see where the supernatural belongs here, if you're applying the concept of god here

Why is it called a red tide if it's blue?

Dave English - 10 years ago

In the day the water can look red from the masses of plankton causing what is called red tide, and an indication that a beautiful light show at night is possible.

intigfx - 10 years ago

As pretty as that looks, isn't it risky if they swallow some of the water? I've always been told it's dangerous to eat seafood during a red tide because the planktons are toxic...

C M C - 9 years ago

+intigfx i think as risky as eating shrimp or swollowing a fly while motorbiking

DRawk Harris - 12 years ago

It's been at least 3yrs or more since I've witnessed this. So awesome even when u walk on the wet sand as the tide goes back out u leave glowing footprints! So cool. Is there a website or other source of info to let me know the next time the red tide comes back?

mrlewis - 12 years ago

why does that happen?

Sebastian Counts - 13 years ago

@LoghanCall sounds good man, anyways im diggin your style, keep up the good work

Loghan Call - 13 years ago

@Sebastiancounts mainly video. I love photography as well, but I have invested my money into professional video equipment, so once I have my dream set up in film, I'll invest some money to start grabbing some cool stills!

Sebastian Counts - 13 years ago

@LoghanCall sounds fun, i was shooting out there last friday experimenting with the low light, i got some good extended exposure shots of the coastline, and some decent ghosting shots with a 6 second exposure, do you usually do video/ or do you do photography to?

Loghan Call - 13 years ago

@Sebastiancounts opening shot was Moonlight, the rest was at Ponto and Oceanside Pier. I shot this on my Sony Ex3 with a Fuji lens. It took a decent amount of time and a few nights out there to figure out the right settings etc.

Sebastian Counts - 13 years ago

aw man! this is moonlight beach! what kind of camera were you shooting with, i was out there the other night with my 7d

Shimquist - 13 years ago

Serena Geroe Music - 13 years ago

Great video! Last night after watching it took the family to Oceanside Pier. We were lucky enough to see a seal swimming near the end of the Pier - lit up by the biolumenscence - as were the fish swimming away from it....I'm never going to forget that. Thank you for inspiring us to go out and see this phenom.

Aaroncroy252016 - 13 years ago

ive surfed in the dark before.. I will never do it again.

whitesharck71 - 13 years ago

E' una cosa che ho visto già quando ero ragazzino... ora con l'inquinamento marino è sempre più difficile osservare questo fenomeno così affascinante!!!

joshjgibbs - 13 years ago

@LoghanCall Great edit!

Loghan Call - 13 years ago

Headed to the Oceanside Pier tonight at 6pm to shoot more footage! If you'd like to join in, feel free! Search "Red Tide SURFING Video Shoot" on Facebook for our public invite if interested! Cheers!!!

WhiteLotus23 - 13 years ago

Love your video, totally awesome!! I seen it out there tonight and the experience is totally phenomenon!! So glad I had the chance to see it for myself and with my family!! Om Shanti~

fifty1thirty - 13 years ago

@LoghanCall it wasn't your footage, they mentioned it though. It was CNN mobile app for iPhone and it was / is one of the videos on the red tide currently up. They didn't use your footage or name, they just mentioned the surfer and that it was up on YouTube or google.

Loghan Call - 13 years ago

@fifty1thirty Thanks! Curious, I knew CNN would be using the footage I gave them, what show was it on? Thanks in advance...cheers!

fifty1thirty - 13 years ago

Just watched a red tide clip on CNN and had to check out more on YouTube. This video is solid, the surfer lit by the glow of the algae is great! Nice video

@MrTexaszx2 I was out there myself and didn't feel any side effects :)

Loghan Call - 13 years ago

@newsuperdavidbros You can check them out on iTunes, by searching "Winter Quarters" the song name or the name of the album which is "Stories and Lies". Cheers!

wow that is nice, but isnt red tide said to cause irritation of the eyes? if so im surprised the surfers go out.

10mintwo - 13 years ago

@LoghanCall Honestly, I wouldn't even bother. That's more often than not a waste of time. Much faster and easier to simply file a report at /copyright_complaint_form

@roadlesstrvled Thanks I appreciate the compliments. This was shot on a Sony Ex3 with a nice lens on it (not the stock one). Only post work that was done was to get rid of some of the static from having to use the gain, the color remains true, it was just that crazy of a color!

blah - 13 years ago

Wow that's great but why is it called "red tide" if it's blue lol

MrBlubolt - 13 years ago

Totally gorgeous! Disney has a long way to go to even come close to nature!

Mike Persia - 13 years ago

Red tide is a common name for a large concentration of aquatic microorganisms, an event in which estuarine, marine, or fresh water algae accumulate rapidly in the water column and results in discoloration of the surface water. Just so people don't think "its radiation".

roadlesstrvled - 13 years ago

I grew up down in SD and all I knew about the evening ocean was GRUNION. Now there's something else to look for at night. This video really is well done ... curious what type of camera you used and if it enhanced the luminescent effect a bit, or if this is a "naked eye" perspective. Either way, it's great.

dave1745 - 13 years ago

Loghan Call - 13 years ago

@ScrewFrance32 I heard it hasn't been as "electric" the last couple of nights. Its all about the right conditions and can literally be here one night and gone the next. My recommendation is to go out around 9pm, at a place where its dark and hopefully it will still be around.

Prodestroyer - 13 years ago

Great video, how long do you think this phenomenon will last for? Through the weekend? I wanna take the lady out to view this.

Sammie - 13 years ago

So cool! I live in SD, I'll have to check it out in person :)

Loghan Call - 13 years ago

@Twinkles36 it happens frequently on the coast if the conditions are right and was not caused by the radiation. This isn't a one time occurrence, and on the west coast is isn't dangerous.

SouL ReacTivatoR - 13 years ago

wow I pray these are not Blue Wave's of Death coming from the Radiation form Japan after the 5 nuke Reactors That exploded this this year That all the media is keeping people in the dark about, because of the Michael Jackson death cover up that is being Spammed on the local News to Keep you all bumbled down to what is really going on from the Truth.
