2 auto feeders? Varying diet

Wife says too much competition at feeding times. Wants a 2nd one on the other side of the tank.

Another trick for photos if you have some monti cap or digi, you can use your coraline, sandbed, and a pink digi or other common coral to determine over correction when trying to dial it in.

I think you back your exposure down you'll be pretty close and it won't be excessively vibrant/bright.

When I shoot it with 50mp setting it seems to be better without having to do any extrees

I've noticed that on the s23 as well. I think buddy is using an iPhone tho

This isn't too bad. Not as good as my s21 but not as grainy at least

My biggest grip with s23 has been the focus you can get either thr tips in the foreground or focus on a majority of the coral and have blurred tips. Still experimenting but that looks dang good. I'd back EV down a hair or two more. In lightroom under light, go to bottom and turn HDR on and see what you think.

That’s probably why, since your tank is sooo blue. Maybe try taking pictures in AB+ ?
Is it easy to switch to AB+ and then switch back to your normal setting?

Easy to switch, but have to tweak down the intensity, because when you switch, you get full intensity on the AB+. I’d have to set up a personal intensity level AB+ program. My personal settings are only at 50% intensity of max, so if I switch to AB+ now the Acro’s immediately start slimming theirselves pretty quickly because of the high intensity. I’m going to try the Orphek 20k and 15k together without the polarizing filter and see how that looks. That should be a good middle ground to show colors without making it look fake.

Okay, here is my final variant. This is probably the closest I can get to the colors I see with the naked eye. It’s enough filtering to counter the intense blue without degrading or amplifying the natural colors. Even the amount of red in the coraline looks correct. This is the Orphek 20k and 15k filters without the polarizing filter. Only editing was using the shadow slider to remove the glare from the lights. This setting shows the Dragon Coaster with a blue level that matches what I see.

Hmm mine isn’t. I’ll give it some more time, but either way both are top tier

It’s got to get some purple developing first.
