Actinic Coral Photos

Paul87 · Nov 14, 2014

Snapped a couple shots under the actinics today. Just have a older $100 camera and find it difficult t get the correct coloration without the overwhelming BLUE. I've gotten a lot better at taking photos of my aquarium with what I have, but these actinics are tough! Just thought I'd share a few actinic photos just because.

Galaxea

Torch

War Coral

Lobo

Some Zoanthids

Acans

Actinic shots are the most difficult.
Not enough light to work with and a crazy blue cast. Still you seem to have mastered those. A little more work on WB in PP can help unless you like to keep a bit of the remaining blue in the pictures.

great photos! can I see the first acans under white, they look awesome under actinic

Thanks guys! Yea I like a little blue in the pictures but other colors seem to go crazy if I adjust the WB too much. That acan is my favorite one. It is also the hardest one to get a photo of! They called it a sunburst acan where I got it. Here is a little older pic of that acan. The color is still crazy even with whites on with that coral for some reason.

Here is a little collage I put together a while back of some zoas in my tank as well as a close up of my frogspawn under actinics only.

Since everything has been transferred over to my new 40 breeder a while back I figured I'd share some more actinic photos. I took these last night when I was feeding. Most are top down shots.
