attempt at shooting some corals under ai sols

[ducati335i]

no photoshop or altering at all is in these pix.. just spent 2 min snapping away.. Wish I knew how to take better pix,, these do no justice whatsoever... Hopefully I'll learn a few tricks and maybe i can get a good photographer over.. Im using a cannon rebel and put the setting on "P" (program)

I took the pix a little while ago when the daylights were very low... Please any tips on pix with leds lmk...
I have a lot more corals but too hard to photograph for now

really is tough shooting pics under LEDs

The only help I can offer is - you really need to use a tripod

Kat even with a tripod it is so hard to shoot under LED lighting. ive tried it so many ways it just dont look like what the corals look like in person. and with my 92 corner it is even harder

this is true,, shooting under t5's is a joke! i have tons of pix from my old tanks that look unreal.. I could make these pix better,, but this is to show exactly how they came out... Im going to have a couple of my photographer friends ply around w their cameras and see what they can do

I think Kathy's saying he's got shaky hands lol!

This is me shooting 7 ft high, tank is too tall.. I need an underwater remote camera.. That will do the trick!

I've almost given up taking pics. I can never get the led color coming out right.

Yes would love too know the secret to taking pics under blue LEDs
They don't come out at all under my phone!

Try adjusting the white balance.

If your camera supports RAW format, shoot in RAW and then adjust the white balance in a program such as Adobe Lightroom.
