Ocean Palette: Do you focus on colors when taking pictures of your tank?
Whether you have created a natural-looking reef or added neon eye-popping corals and fish, the colors of a reef tanks can be stunning. The blue lights, the distortion of the water, and that fish that loves to photo-bomb pictures can all be a challenge, but developing your photography skills can make the effort worth it. I realize that sometimes there is a time and place to take pictures for identification or for comparison at a later time, but sometimes we also take pictures in an attempt to capture the beauty of the tank or some part of it. The myriad of colors in a reef tank is certainly one place to find that beauty. Do you focus on colors when taking pictures of your tank? Let us know in the discussion thread.
Pro Tip: Paying attention to what is in the background, and even pre-planning the background, can help the colors stand out in your photos as well as limiting distractions in the images.
