Secrets to some of the best coral photography

Yup. Balltop is the way to go IMO. Aluminum is perfectly fine since you won't be taking it everywhere with you.

Thanks man appreciate you taking the time to help.

I've found that the Google pixel line of phones can take some pretty decent pictures using an orange filter. I'm sure there is some incremental increase in quality with a dedicated camera, and I'm sure that the photography aficionados will clutch their pearls to hear me suggest a camera phone ...

Here is your same picture wwc style (few mins in Snapseed)

Here's some of the photos I've taken. I linked my blog because it has uncompressed pics.

Scroll down a little and you can see them.

They're not WWC quality but I feel like I'm getting there slowly.

There are many guides on the Internet about how to shoot correctly in different conditions. There are also guides about which camera models are best to buy at the moment how much it costs.

There are many guides on the Internet about how to shoot correctly in different conditions. There are also guides about which camera models are best to buy at the moment how much it costs. What programs are used when editing a character, the correct settings of colors and brightness, etc. Dude, just Google or watch videos on YouTube. Or watch ready-made photos and adopt some features, for example, from platforms such as depositphotos. If you have any other questions on this topic, you can write to me in private messages at any time. I will help you.

How I would love the likes of WWC or Battlecorals to let us all know exactly how they capture their photos. Every detail from camera model, lens, filters, software to tweak etc. Come on guys what is your recipe?!?

shoot man! should have tagged me! Never saw this. Just happened upon this now. And thanks! I am taking this as a massive compliment!

I am an open book when it comes to pretty much anything I do or think lol.

Here's my hard specs. Let me know if theres any other info I can get for you. I'm actually working on doing video now, at least for social media with the same set up but still trying to find the right settings. Not sure if this lens is quite right for it. There's a few threads out there that I detail some of my pic set up and technique as well.

• Cannon 6d
• Ziess Makro planar 50mm. manual focus
• I shoot in manual usually around f18-20
• finally updated Lightroom from a 10+ year old version
• have shot under many different lights but 80% of the pics on the site were taken under radium 20k on m-80 ballasts. this % is going down however as I am shooting under leds now.
• have dabbled with orange filter but. didn't like the results
• anything I left out. just let me know

Pics look great, do you have a recommendation for a filter,I have a pixel 7pro but found the camera lense layout on the phone hard to find a lense for it,thanks
