Anyone use Sony Alpha series 200?

[Joeganja]

So I have a Sony alpha series 200 and I wanna take photos of coral like how nicer cameras do. I wanna get as close to that as I can. The color temperature on it only reaches to 9900k can someone please educate me and help me?

Hey joe. I'm not a photography expert by any stretch, but what really helped me take better cell phone pictures were lighting gels. They are colored plastic films that trick the camera into taking the blue out. They can be found fairly cheaply and may help you out, I know they did for me. If you take a look through my build thread all the pictures are shot on my iPhone with these lighting gels.

Oh okay interesting can u show me some photos?

I broke my phone last week so I don't have any on the new one. I can try to get some I the next few days. Also if you look through my build thread in my signature you will see the older pictures without the gels and the "newer" pictures with the gels. You will definitely be able to tell the difference.
