zygote2k November 14, 2010 Share November 14, 2010 not only does he buy corals from the $10 section- he's using the same photo skills found there If you tweak the saturation and contrast too much, your white objects tend to look purple or blue. Keep the whites white, and all the other colors will look normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incredible Corals November 14, 2010 Author Share November 14, 2010 looks like you stepped up from the $10 section. Yep, I wish they were all in the $10/each nice colection. tyree red water melon did you got from vnreef? that look nice. i can tell the color. I sure did, his other colony is awesome. Nice chalices. Thats buddy! I'm loving the Tyree Red Watermelon! not only does he buy corals from the $10 section- he's using the same photo skills found there If you tweak the saturation and contrast too much, your white objects tend to look purple or blue. Keep the whites white, and all the other colors will look normal. I can never get a good photo without editing to show what the chalice look like with the actinics turned up. You should see how they look in person with only the actinics, they colors pop and glow even more! I love LEDs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might try doing most of the postprocessing work adjusting white balance to get more accurate colors. Usually anything more than the lightest touch of saturation makes the pics look unnatural.

BowieReefer84 November 15, 2010 Share November 15, 2010 Honestly, I have some "$10" chalices and under my royal blue led's they look insane. It is REALLY hard to capture in a photo. I was really surprised the pop rb led's provide. It's like hitting your corals with diff colored highlighters and a blacklight.... It's just hit or miss on whether they make it in your tank the first month imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incredible Corals November 16, 2010 Author Share November 16, 2010 I updated the pics with the white balance fixed. They look much better. Thanks for the photo tips. I also uploaded them but for some reason it's not showing the new pic for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote2k November 16, 2010 Share November 16, 2010 the pictures look much better without the extra saturation. now all you have to do is give us a non saturated FTS. turn off all pumps and let the water get calm before attempting this. LED shimmer drives cameras crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trockafella November 16, 2010 Share November 16, 2010 Wow, that was a big difference..! Still look great, actually better I think. Looks good Steve.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Lazar November 16, 2010 Share November 16, 2010 Looking good! Next thing you might try is posing the corals so you can see the whole thing. Can you set the frag rock on it's side so the chalice frags are in the same plane as the tank wall? You'll get "top down" shots without getting on top of the tank.
