How Do iPhone Users Take Pictures of SPS?

[Rick5]

I am really interested in learning any tips and tricks you folks use when taking pictures of SPS with your phones. I'm using whatever the latest iPhone is. While I appreciate great photography, I am not interested in taking up a sub-hobby/second hobby and I therefore don't plan on purchasing a DSLR camera. If you have any settings or app recommendations, I'd like to hear them.

I have to use clip on filters since I'm using LEDs. And have to edit to get it as close as possible to what I see.

I find samsung's camera to be more accurate than apples for taking pics.

Hello,

I just take a normal pic and it looks fine. Of course in person it’s much better, but I take pics to show progress etc. if your trying to capture the actual colors even when your blues are on, I’m sure there is some app for that.

I use a Pixel XL 3 and Polyplab gel filter. My pics can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/greatbeardedreef/

Also, I watched a video from @samparker here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/phone-photography-guide-video.622815/

I even won my local clubs photography contest that month. Post #34 to see the winner on the same thread above.

So basically, the best way for iPhone users to take a decent picture of coral is by the use of an android device, Lol.

I’m running LEDs as well. What filters?

I have a Samsung fridge. It’s great.

The blue lighting is negatively impacting my pictures as is my inability to take pictures.

Until the icemaker freezes up like every other Samsung refrigerator and you call Samsung and they act like they don’t know what you’re talking about but you google and realize that like 5 million people have the same problem... *** Samsung.

They’ve known about it for years and still keep cranking them out with the same problem. Someone was working on a class action lawsuit. Not sure if that went anywhere.

I was in Best Buy over the holidays not even shopping for a fridge. We were looking at ovens. The kid there said that in the newest model Samsung fixed the issue. I didn’t even know there was a issue. I still make ice and keep stuff cold or frozen.. I was just bullshitting how crappy stuff is made now. It is designed obsolescence.

Like Ecotech’s battery backup.

This looks interesting: ULANZI 10X Macro Phone Camera Lens. It doesn't resolve my white balance/blue light issues, though.
