Skinz's money pit with bad pics!

I snapped some really quick pic's the other night, right after I did a bunch of scraping and mucking up the water.... So yeah they suck but oh well. They turned out a lot more blue than what it looks like in person. I had my settings wrong in my camera but I think I have them set now so I will get more pic's tonight and post them up.

The tank is a standard 75g 4' tank. I have a Vortech MP20 and a Koralia 1050 in the tank for circulation. I have a 6 bulb T5 DIY setup for lighting. And the skimmer is a Reef Octopus NW150 modded by Luke to pull twice the air as stock.

Some nice stuff man.. if you took a little time out and learn how to white balance the pictures they would look a lot better. There is a program called "GIMP" I used to use that auto WB photos.. its freeware so it's easy get and use. Try it out

Yeah I had it set correctly then I added 2 more blue bulbs to the mix and it all went south on me. I was messing with it the other night trying the PVC in tank method and couldn't get it set right. Then I took a pic of my stand and it came out perfect so I think I have it on the right track now.

Just edit it on the comp.. much better results usually.

Nice tank! Looking forward to more pictures.

Kraylen do you have a link for the "GIMP" program? I'll post some new pic's here in a bit when I finish uploading them.

Thanks man, I installed it but I am going to post some pic's before I edit them and see how they look. They are almost all uploaded now.

Sweet man

Pic time and I think I got the ol clamera dialed in now. I just gotta work on getting steady pic's....

sweet man.. did you gimp them pics?

No those have zero editing.

Sweet man, you def got the camera working right.. picture color looks much better man!

Thanks Kray!

I am facing a simlar issue as skins was or is, I get very blue pics or pics with no blue, I want pics that look like my tank does which is somewhere right in between

^usually cameras have a hard time with our lighting. Even my SX20IS has a floro light and an aquarium setting for balance.. and neither of them can capture my T5 or LED system... in a standard 65-10k PC setup sure.. but higher lighting? I usually have to hit up CS4.

All I did was started taking shots of things with my preset white balance setting. I found that snapping my wood stand which is no where near white gives me the best pic's in my tank. Now outside the tank is a different story and I need to change it back and fourth to get good pic's.

So you wood balanced? Sounds like a male stripper trick you have to pay a lot extra for.

Rotflmao!!!

So today I went garage saleing this morning with the wifey and the one and only thing that I found out of everyone else's crap was a tripod for my clamera! $4 and I think it is a keeper!

that's a awesome deal..
