Testing Out New DSLR

madducks42 · Dec 26, 2017

As an early Christmas present to myself I got a new DSLR, ended up going with a Nikon D7500. I've only had it a couple weeks but I'm really enjoying it. It's a major improvement from my Nikon D3200.

Very nice, colors are vibrant but not oversaturated. I can always tell when coral vendors are photoshopping/oversaturating their pics but yours look very true to actual appearance.

I usually do my Lightroom editing from the couch next to the tank. I'll occasionally get up and compare the edited photos to the corals to make sure I didn't over do it. Aside from posting pictures on forums and various FB groups we use the photos to track the growth of the corals and color changes so I make them as accurate as I can. The pink/purple zoa posted above lost some of it's color a few months ago and it's just now starting to get some of the green in the center back. It's nice to be able to look at pictures of it for the past six months and see how much the color has changed for better or worse.
