Photo help

[CoralMeister]

No matter how hard I try, and on whatever settings, I just cannot get clean shots of anything in my tank. Only color is blue and thats it. How do you guys get such nice photos of your tanks?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

turn off the blue. play with the white balance... shoot in raw.

What kind of camera?

See if you have a custom white balance on the camera... You don't need to turn off the blues...

You really don't have to shoot in Raw either, but it def will help if you want to post edit...

Theres a major difference between regular outside shooting and shooting pics of coral under variations of different lighting. Idk I've just never photographed corals and stuff so Im not familiar with the settings for that. All I take pics of is cars and planes mostly.
