Reef Pictures.

[AR0026]

I had a friend come over and take some pics of the tank and corals. He spent over 2hrs and was unable to get a nice clear shot. Maybe it's the fact that he had a camera that was not he's or that he has never taken pictures of corals. Idk.

So my question for all you that take great coral pics is, what is your secret??
Do you edit the pics with software??

I was messing around with my phone camera and got a ok picture
(Tried up loading with reefs and did not work, will post later with the computer)

Then I messed with some simple editing the phone has built in and it looks much better.
(Also, won't load. Will post later)

Any advice would help.

My friend was using a canon dlsr with all types of lenses. Note sure on the model.

Tell your friend with the dslr to read up on setting the custom white balance.
Basically you can take a piece of PVC, stick it in the tank and take a photo of it and set that in the camera to its own custom white balance.
