Becka you forgot to mention the incredible importance to keep the phone 100% parallel to the glass to avoid more blur. People tends to keep the phone or camera in a slight angle not realizing that auto focus struggle to capture a sharp image because of blur from angle upon the glass of the aquarium. I use a G85 for my stills and videos but from time to time i don't pull out the camera and use my phone. The blur effect on cellphones are more pronounced and hard to auto correct/focus bc of angles.
I took one glass out the glasses... and a protection lens for my camera. Shaped the glass round and replaced the clear glass with the orange filter from the glasses. Now I have a perfect lens that fits my camcorder
I can do that water drop nose too! However after breaking both hands/wrist I learned how to do it hands free, you work on that, I'll work on my pictures. Thanks for the video 🙃
There are a couple aquarium macro and blue light filters from aquarium companies for cellphone that have been out for a bit, curious why you didn't mention or have tried them.
Great video. I would add that most cell phones have a "pro photo" and "pro video" settings in their camera app which will allow you to better hone in on AP, ISO, and WB.
Thanks for the video Becka 👍 I didn’t realize they made Macro lenses for phones, awesome! I have an iPhone 10x and I think it’s time for an upgrade. Has iPhone made any improvements in regards to reef photography?
I wish I could help you with that. It has shown up as a bunch of different units over the years. They look the same and probably work the same but they are almost always sold out and then vanish.
Have you heard of moment lenses? I use them for my Samsung note 10. It really gets your phone as close as possible to a dslr quality. They also have attachments for dslr light filters so you can attach them to your phone.
Amazing vid as always, yall are bringing so much to the community. Great stuff, oh and you will want to check your search engine optimization. It pulls 2 other sites when looking up tidal garden.
@@tidalgardens Yeah, it was mostly ads, except one search it brought up another site outside the US. Though I had typed it wrong the first time.. Not sure if it was a clutch or something wired because it only did it the one time, figured I would give yall a heads up though.
Combined 3 things for me, photography, coral and a super pretty young lady who is crazy ridiculous expressive! So cute! Also following from Australia 🇦🇺.
For 4€ I downloaded a pro video App for iPhone which lets me adjust WhiteBalance like a Dslr would...including Grey Card. Not to mention microphone level for both the in-built and the external microphone...audio levels real-time monitoring..shutter and Iso speed...codecs..resolutions and so on. No need to worry about what phone model you're getting...as long as the camera module is mid to high-end. Not to mention that free editing apps have specific capabilities so you can pull up/down individual color channels.
Just to add. One main thing for color is if ur phone has a pro mode, in about 20 seconds you can adust all the sliders, kelvin etc and get the petfect color. Also holding the phone/lens parelel to the subject (where possible) will yield better shots.

Thank you for putting out this video. Great job on the presentation.

You guys are just amazing! Thank you for the fantastic info! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching!
Your the best. Love watching your videos
Ty I recently ordered the icecap lens kit
Thank you I wait for this so long
I believe the specific filter your talking about is an 85b filter
We purchased an 85b filter after this video was made and it did work very well.
I can do that water drop nose too! However after breaking both hands/wrist I learned how to do it hands free, you work on that, I'll work on my pictures. Thanks for the video 🙃
Merci pour cette vidéo mon amie !!!👍👍👍
She's so adorable.. You're hired
Simp
Here to learn. Let’s go!
What phone are you using right now?

What spectrometer are you using 5'20 sec in this video?

My friend had a set a long time ago. I know some folks really like it.
There are also orange lenses not just yellow, like the one from Orphek Coral lense kit
Very technical, explicative, many aspects that I can easy forget. But never such pretty eyes you have...😍
The power went out at my place....woke up to fish tank gurgling. Almost freaked. Then saw there was a Tidal Gardens vid. Im ok now. Lol
Always a bright side
I am waiting this video from you for so so long....
Thank you to make it happen
Hope you enjoyed it!
Amazing vid as always, yall are bringing so much to the community. Great stuff, oh and you will want to check your search engine optimization. It pulls 2 other sites when looking up tidal garden.
Are you seeing paid ads above the organic search results?
@@tidalgardens Yeah, it was mostly ads, except one search it brought up another site outside the US. Though I had typed it wrong the first time.. Not sure if it was a clutch or something wired because it only did it the one time, figured I would give yall a heads up though.
Thanks guys. Great work in this great channel you managed to mix my two hobbies, photography and keeping fish and corals...following from Australia :)
Our pleasure!
Combined 3 things for me, photography, coral and a super pretty young lady who is crazy ridiculous expressive! So cute! Also following from Australia 🇦🇺.
Amazing video!
im using mate20pro + OAKLEY glasses as filter. superb!
I use my Huawei P40 Pro, the photos it can take of corals is amazing
I use zero extra gear on my s10 and my photos come out amazing. I might how ever try a clip on macro.
Clip on macro is great.
Thanks for adding bloopers
Any time
Thanks again Becka!
What clip lense you recomend ??

I agree, some of the third party phone camera apps allow for a lot of good manual control.
Nicely done!!
You are related to Van ? Yes
Heard browns lens are decent at colour correction. Otherwise a lens clip is perfect :D Thanks for the video
It turns out that there are several grades of "orange filter" and the one that seems to work the best are the "85" and "85B"
Nice video
Thanks
No name chinese products happens to be the theme of my tank
Hahaha same.
Lol "siri take a photo" but the phone is clearly Android using Google assistant 😂
When I take a pic of my reef with my phone it looks like a washed out blue mess Lol.
There should be a video on how to take pictures of chromis
That is a really good suggestion. Thank you.
Im just in love with your eyes girl. I didn't hear a word you said. Ill replay later.
happy reefing indeed
