I was wondering if anyone knows how to take pictures under actinic lighting or blue moon lights and also remove the the blue tint from the picture? 5ea2d7c6724b26a1894805fe6ab3db06.jpg

You need to adjust the white balance on your camera to counteract the intense blue.  Or you need to pick up some gel filters if you do not have the ability to change the white balance.

Here are a couple of pics using an iPhone6 with the above filters.

 

No filter:

Wow, like magic. I think I have some of that filter in my polariscope, if not the same I'm headed to ebay.

Thanks for sharing, I've been so frustrated with my pictures from the iPhone.

Yeah my sentiment as well, however this time around I got stuck with an iPhone and can't wait to get back to my Android

 Are you using the same filters referenced earlier or something slightly different? Where did you get yours?

 

Oops, nevermind...that was your link to the ebay seller
