taking coral pics with phone

[Tipton34]

I was wondering what's the best way to take pictures of coral on a phone? I can't ever get the corals to look even close to what they look like in real life. The colors are usually all Blue.

Turn off blue lights lol

 

[Tipton34]

Haha but the corals don't fluoresce without them

Yellow transparent sheet, like lighting gels or those yellow see thru binder dividers. Works great!

 

[Tipton34]

Awesome I'll give that a try!

How in the world did you figure that out?

Yea keep us posted if you do it and post up some pics so we see if that works. I can't stand that anybody I show tank pics to cant see what I see at home.

I got two frags from fintastic, found this at Riley's reef was there for a couple weeks and finally bought it 50 bucks.

I'm working on getting the yellow paper.

Those corals are amazing!! There are so many awesome looking corals out there!

So do you hold the yellow sheet infront of the camera or how does that work?

 

[Daniel Fishy]

Just hold it a couple inches away.

 

[Kristy3693]

It has to be clear, right? Like plastic, but yellow?

 

[Daniel Fishy]

Yep those thin yellow see thru binder dividers or lighting gels for stage lights or similar .

Well I haven't been able to get yellow paper but a buddy of mine told me to use sunglasses. They aren't the best but they help. No adjusting just straight shots. I'll be getting more coral this week
