I took a few closeups of some coral, and I really like the results from my new iphone! This first one is actually from a video!

Those are some good pictures with an iPhone!
Thanks! Yeah I’m impressed with the ability of it. I have a dslr camera, but this iphone 15 pro max is very comparable. I also use it to record and edit all my videos. The real test will be getting posters and canvases made.

Wow those look great I have a iPhone 15 pro max and I swear I can’t get a decent picture. What all are you using?
Thanks! I use the orphek orange lens filter and magnifying lens. Sometimes I use the optical zoom on the phone too. For side shots in the tank, I also have a Flipper magifying lens I use that works great too. I then edit the photo to correct things like color temp, haze, and sharpness afterward.

Nice I use two different camera apps they work ok. Sounds like I just need to order an orange lense. I like using the flipper magnifier as well. One of the best presents my wife has gotten me lately lol.

This weekend’s video is going to be the February update on all the tanks! I got a few new fishy friends to reveal, and will share some ideas I have for the future. See it on Sunday 2-25-24 at 10 am est! Happy Reefing!

This is Catie, the reefing kitty! She is in the Reef Cave every night!

I went to my LFS, Tropicorium, inc yesterday! I will be spending a lot more time there to lend a hand on some things. That place has a rich history in the reefing hobby, and I want to see it get back to its roots. Of course I took some footage for a video as well! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
