Top Down LED shots!!

[KLR]

Took some led shots from the top down for the first time, my camera doesnt have the best focus under led macro shots

What setting did you use? Andanytime I try and take top down photos, I get the reflection of my lights. Are there tricks/tips for taking top down photos? BTW, nice photos.

Camera- canon powershot s90, 22.5mm built in lens

setting i do custom white balance, set it to the brightness of the top of the tank,when the T5 lights are on, then i click display over the custom white balance icon and a little color square comes up

red on the right,magenta on the bottome,blue on the left, green on top

when taking led shots i move the dot all of the way to the right and up 1, so it is 9 red and 1 green, to cancel out more of the blue and set the camera on macro and take pictures

I just hold the camera directly above the coral i want to take a picture of to get rid of most of the glare, set the brightnes to like +1/3 or +2/3 and it will look like the light is still on the coral, but no super intense glare

Use a top down view box is even better you get shots
