Wanted to share some pictures that I took last night.

I cannot for the life of me quite capture the color of yellow on the outside of the oral disc, at least the way I see it with my eyes. How do you color correct the blue that makes it look green?

White balance will help take the blue out.

With computer software, like photoshop?

If you can't match the white balance on the camera then the next step would be on the computer during post processing. I use an editor made by the same people that make photoshop called Lightroom. Adobe makes both and I bought adobe CS4 a couple years ago and it came with a lot of software. There is a CS5 out now that is a newer version of what I have.

Honestly I have no idea how to use photoshop because Lightroom is really easy to use. I've been able to do almost anything I want with it for editing my photos.

I have to look into it, it's really frustrating to not be able to capture the "real" way a coral looks. Maybe, I can ask for it for Xmas!

These are some of the strangest zoas, in low light they look like cat eyes, but in high light they have 4 colors, green, red, yellow and purple

Lol. Sometimes i get up several times to look at the coral and make sure i get it right. I went to a friends house and he has 8 T5 pink, purple, blue and white and dimmable leds and i didnt have to do anything in photoshop. I wish they did like a 8 bulb 12" t5 i would buy it and put in a 10 gal tank just for pics!
