Reef photos

Can anyone tell me how to take good quality photos with my phone of my reef tank and not drown out the colors

Uhh.....What kind of phone?

Well since there's no reply I'll take a stab..... On an I-phone as far as my old one goes, you will need a filter gel or post processing. I've heard there is an add on program that helps. On a Samsung Galaxie S-7 it's easier. When you open your camera app you will see three white dots just above the shutter button. Touch the left dot, then select "Pro" mode, then set WB to 10,000k, then set your shutter speed to finalize the shot, its the symbol second from the left. I personally don't use the other "effects" settings but hey, try it all out. This gives me pretty realistic photo's without any "blue death" in them. Good luck, hope this helps.

My Galaxy S6 works well enough. It's no high end DSLR though.
