I have a camera in the cupboard but my fish hate it so I mainly use it for coral (Albeit I do have some fish photos on it). So instead for fish, I use my phone and I just wanted to show that not everyone need a good camera for photos :)
Enjoy a couple decent photos and a couple money shots (Especially with the Coral Beauty - That fish is a nightmare to get a clear photo of the eye due to how well it’s hidden IME).

Buddy, these photos are great. What kind of phone are you using? I have an iPhone 13 and taking decent pictures is incredibly difficult!
I’m currently using an IPhone 12 Pro Max, on my previous phone I got some better photos (Especially of the CBB) and that was an 11.
Here’s just a couple photos from my previous phone.

that's what i'm using now alongside orphek 52mm coral lens!
I only use a clip on lense but even then, I rarely get photos of my nano during lights on (I prefer watching the tank early in the morning or late in the evening). Even then, in my 4’ tank I rarely use the lense.

I use an android phone, orphek lens, and photoshop/lightroom for casual shots like this. Post editing can enhance a photo without overdoing it, if done right. Note, I didn't have to touch color saturation on this photo, just sharpening and enhancing black.

Thankyou, they’re some of my favourites and surprisingly it only takes maybe 5-6 photos before I get a clear shot.

All my photos are taken with my Huawei P30 pro that I have had for about 4 years or so, I have a pair of D&D reef glasses I occasionally use to view the tank and even rarer taken pictures with that lens in the way of my phone's camera I have added a couple of those to show the difference but personally I prefer the blue look and only occasionally feel the need to wear the sunglasses to change the view
