My pics continue to come out purple!

[nawilson89]

So can anyone help diagnose when I try to take pictures of my tank all the pics are purple?
My phone is a Galaxy Note 3
and my light is a Reef Radiance DM 12-e

The lighting is quite blue and beautiful, my tank looks amazing, but when i try to capture it on camera I get this!

I'm not sure that phone will have a white balance setting. If it does have presets, you'll get a better image using the cloudy day setting.

Your other option would be a filter lense kit. They make them for phones. They pull the blue light out of the picture.

Search on ebay or Amazon and something will come up. I'd provide a link but I'm on break at work.

Thanks so much! Super quick reply! I'll look into both.

Edit: I do have a cloudy setting on my phone and I will try that when I get home. Also at work! Thanks again!

I'm sure there are other ways. But mine always came out blue. I got these "coral vision glasses" and check out the difference

Agree....white balance (if possible) or use a set of gels which could be had for about five bucks.

Twins! Nice. Is yours evil too? Mine has consumed a few smaller fish that were not paying attention

Not this one. Years ago I had a green center purple one that ate my pearly jawfish. Lol

When I had the NOTE3 I experienced the same problem. There were not as many filter options when i had it, but you may have more now you can download from Samsung. I found 2 apps to use as a replacement:

Snapseed
PicsArt

Snapseed seems a little easier - play with the "warmth" "ambiance" and "saturation" settings - decreasing all - that may help with removing much your purple issue.

Good luck!

Looks great Wiz!! Where did you obtain the lense?

Agree with the glasses option. It's the cheapest option

They are "coral view glasses" my wife bought me. I put them In front of my phone lens

Pretty good option that eliminates cell phone camera issues, there is a video attached in the description that shows it in action
