iPhone 13 pro tips

[Charlie’s Frags]

Anyone have tips for taking pictures with this thing? I had an iPhone 10 with a brown filter that took really good pics and upgraded to this thinking it would be a real game changer. Turns out it changed the game in the opposite way I was hoping for.

I use Snapseed app. I love it! It is post production though.

I’m sure it’ll help but I know nothing about photography and there a lot of tools to play with. It also doesn’t help with videos. I can’t figure out why my iPhone 10 was so easy. Just clip on a brown filter and the pics and video were crystal clear and now these are all grainy and have a brown/reddish tint to them.

Also following because I too have an iPhone and my tank pics turn out so bad I haven't even made a build thread yet.

sorry it took up alot of space....I bought these and am trying them out. you can stack the filters onto each other for the results you want...I am still getting the hang of the but when you get it right they pop

Agreed. My iPhone X (10) took amazing photos.

My iPhone 13 pro max takes grainy blue photos even though my lighting is the same.

I’m still trying to figure out this whole photography reef thing. I don’t know how people take such amazing photos.

What camera did you use to take the pictures?

The top one was one of those Wifi microscope amazon cameras for $20 to my 13 maxpro the bottom one was taken direct with the iPhone 13 MaxPro white balance was auto. But then manipulated via Snapseed app.

I’m starting to realize I need to find an old iPhone X. I wish I hadn’t sent mine back

My iPhone 11 takes great pictures in general, but for some reason all of my tank pics come out looking very blue. It would appear that the skillset needed to take cat pictures and the skills needed to take nice aquarium pictures are totally different. Not sure if it's me or the iPhone's fault yet. Probably both.

I’ve found that for me, the macro mode doesn’t work well for me on the iPhone 13 pro. Took these without the macro. Much closer and it couldn’t focus and was pretty blurry/grainy. Sounds like others are having this problem too?
Used both 15000K and 20000K lens filters, but no post production.

anyone have anymore tips on using the iPhone 13 for photos?

My photos are definitely worse from my old iPhones, even with filters and no filters. It like tries to manipulate the picture and focuses all weird and stuff depending on the lighting.

Look at my build thread. I just recently did some photos with my IPhone some raw, some through some coral sunglasses. Most of the time I use the app Snapseed to tweek things, but also the native app with the IPhone also does well.

Are those photos top downs or the through the tank glass panels? I have problems with top downs. The phone focuses on the acrylic top down viewer and flow of the water instead of the corals
