Sometimes I use my polarized sunglasses as a filter. This is an extreme example because the blues were turned WAY up, but it does make a huge difference.

These photos were taken with my iphone 6plus and a pair of Nike polarized sunglasses.

*Not my tank- this is one of the Reef Crest drop off tanks at Incredible Corals (and Artfully Acrylic).

Gel filters are simply colored sheets of plastic that you put in front of your lense or flash.

Which filters are you using?
I bought a set of 10 colors on Amazon. After trial and error I found the one that works best. I don't know the specific color but it's more brown than the orange I see most others using.

those are the same you can get from Mshort. not sure what amazon charges, but I think from short they are 3 sets for ten bucks....also has a larger size for Dslr.

a few friends have these and complained of losing them, getting them dirty, and bent. So, i DIY a lil frame and now they are super easy to handle, harder to lose and easier to keep clean. this was the first go at it, im gonna make a cleaner, more refined version with the next set.

Price is about the same if I remember correctly. Cool idea with the frames. I've destroyed a few. Lol

yeah, i figured I would as well...this was the simple solution. it makes them a much more tangible object, not just a piece of plastic film. works well too!

Is it much different than just adding a brown filter to the photo? also does it help with the blue optics that ruin the pic?
