I'm trying to figure out how to get accurate photos. I can get pretty close shooting in pro mode with my galaxy edge but I've got a DSLR (oldie Nikon D80) sitting around and want to learn how to better use it.
This is my first go of it. I shot during my peak light cycle, AB+ program on Radion xr30 G5 blues. I've never shot in Raw before. I usually just set my K highest it'll go @ 9900 do let it be but certain colors never really showed up or showed up falsely. I feel these are pretty darn close. I'm not sure why the details on my snails and rocks look like a damn painting, I'm assuming it was the settings I was using but not sure.
I'm basic as hell on camera settings. Through troubleshooting and seeing what gets me close I shoot in "A" mode on my camera, or aperture priority. These were set at 5.6 - 6.3, exposure -.07 and the shutter speed was decided for me in mode A. Lens is what came with the camera, 18-55mm. Cheapo super macro lense/wide angle attachment I found on amazon a few years back.
I tried shooting under 100% RB, but no amount of tweaking pulled any color out for me. Totally lost there, I'm assuming I still need some type of gel filter for that. I see amazon has cheap Tekon filters, one is dark "orange 21" and the other a little lighter "orange 16". I may pull the trigger on the 16, looks close to what reef shades use.
