What spectrometer are you using 5'20 sec in this video?
There are also orange lenses not just yellow, like the one from Orphek Coral lense kit
Thank you I wait for this so long
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.
im using mate20pro + OAKLEY glasses as filter. superb!
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?
When I take a pic of my reef with my phone it looks like a washed out blue mess Lol.
Im just in love with your eyes girl. I didn't hear a word you said. Ill replay later.
I use my Huawei P40 Pro, the photos it can take of corals is amazing
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.
I genuinely thought the person in the thumbnail was pyrocynical lol
Amazing video!
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 🙃
Bekka u forgot to mention how gorgeous you are
Very technical, explicative, many aspects that I can easy forget. But never such pretty eyes you have…😍
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.
Lol "siri take a photo" but the phone is clearly Android using Google assistant 😂
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
Merci pour cette vidéo mon amie !!!👍👍👍
I use zero extra gear on my s10 and my photos come out amazing. I might how ever try a clip on macro.
No name chinese products happens to be the theme of my tank
I believe the specific filter your talking about is an 85b filter
She's so adorable.. You're hired
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.
Marry me! 😍
Your the best. Love watching your videos
