Always down to help lol. Biggest thing I think is a quality orange filter and turn off the flow for a nice still photo

Great shots. Wondering what number orange filter you are using and how are you getting the black background? Thanks

I don't have a nice screw on filter yet so I'm using Avast Marines orange filter, for the black background I use photoshop and cut around the coral with the lasso tool.

I also have the Avast setup but have not used it yet. I need to do some research and figure out what glass orange filter to get. Time for me to get off my butt and start shooting. I use Lightroom all the time but have not used Photoshop very much. Going to have to give the lasso tool a try. Thanks for the info!

No prob, I hear the Tiffen 7285B is the go to screw on filter, I just cant get myself to spend $170 on it lol. It goes on sale periodically for $50 so I'm waiting for that.

do you take the pictures underwater?

Majority of the time yes, using the avast marine porthole. Otherwise straight through the glass

Are you using AWB or setting the White Balance manually? I have the same Sony, but lens limited to G 90mm Macro 2.8. Thus far, I have not had tremendous success through the glass. May give the avast marine porthole a try.

Auto WB, the orange filter does most of the work but I usually have to warm up the color temp in editing because they still are too blue. I also do run full blues all day so..
