chimera Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I wanted to take a pic to show how different a coral can look under different exposures. This is a pic of the same coral, taken at the same time in the same location. The true colour of this pocillipora is somewhere in the middle of the two. Just goes to show someones tank can look exceptionally better than others by using good photography skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie extreme Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 damn how do you do that? i have problems just taking a properly in focus shot and it seems that iam not the only one (isn't that right wasp, jetski and all the rest of you that struggle with taking pic's that look like your tank? oops sorry forgot pie's ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misnoma Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 If you want to do it properly... Take pics in RAW mode (get a camera decent enough to do that), then adjust the white balance on the computer to match your tank (be honest!) Otherwise... the big thing, find the white balance on your camera, see if you can set it, get a greyscale card ( you can find them to print out on camera sites) and match it to your camera/lighting to get the white balance correct. Generally white balance is what effects the colour balance, unless you're being bad and playing with exposure (which is generally noticible and only effects brightness, not colour) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 cookie - try this... with auto exposure on, point your camera at somewhere bright in the tank and hold the button down half way, move the camera back to your coral and take the shot (needs to be the same focus obviously) - the pic will be darker. point your camera at a darker area in the tank, hold the button half way down, move the camera back to your coral and take the shot - the pic will be lighter.

wasp Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Here's my "coral and Marlin" doing what they enjoy most, ie dipping & diving in the anemone. Had these guys 6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasp Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Thanks Fay. Yeah, them and the anemone are the best thing I've got. Just the stupid anemone after a couple of years in a prime viewing location, has moved to a not so visible spot. Oh well, for something with no brain they do have a mind of their own!
