Doctored Photos

[Keepswiming]

Although most of us dislike saturated unrealistic photos when it comes to purchasing livestock, I enjoy doctored photos just for fun! Post your edited photos here, and or tips on reef photography. Photos where taken with iPhone X and edited with Snapseed app.
Happy reefing!

How did you get such detail in the acan pic? I have an iPhone XR and it takes horrible crappy photos. I need to learn from you. Also, do you turn down the blues? My tank always looks blue but to my eye it looks white.

This doesn’t necessarily qualify as doctored. I picked up this frag yesterday and the detail in the photo is so amazing. But in person it looks like a pinch of tiny red hair. This is the photo the seller gave me.

If yours has the same camera you can get decent shots with it because the camera is actually really nice. The trick is to have the glass clean, coral close to the glass, no zoom, and keep the camera parallel and very close to the glass without touching. I don’t take pictures in full blues, and if I do I use my polarized sunglasses and hold them over the camera to act as a filter. I usually shoot in around 14kish light and use the mentioned app to adjust warmth to get the photo to look less blue. The orange bowerbanki colony is actually a lot brighter in person!

iPhone X Snap seed app and a pair of polarized Oakley’s work very well.
