  • "But Louis, I used an orange filter, and my video still looks off on my phone."Honestly, your phone is probably fine. I ran into the same thing for a long time before I realized it wasn't the camera—it was the lighting.The trick is matching the filter to your tank's light spectrum. Sometimes one filter is enough, and sometimes you have to stack a couple until it looks the way your eyes actually see the tank.In my case, my lights are kind of a weird mix of royal blue, cyan, purple, red, and green, so no single filter has ever worked quite right. The only setup that consistently gives me the colors I see in person is stacking the 12,000K and 25,000K filters. It gets me really close straight out of the camera with little to no editing.Filters used: Oceanbox Designs ReefLens™ MKII PRO 7-in-1 Coral Lens Kit with the optional 25,000K filter.#reeftankphotography #reeftank
  • Have you ever seen your reef like this before?For years, I'd turn off the flow just to look at the coral from the top-down perspective.But coral isn't meant to be seen standing still.So I built a smartphone lens system that lets me record while the pumps are still running. The moment I watched the polyps moving naturally beneath the surface, it felt less like looking into an aquarium......and more like diving into a living reef.Huge thanks to our friends for the raw footage featured in this video:@rices_reef @lawrencedpineda @irishshrimpguy
  • Still two of my all-time favorite toadstool corals after all these years, and the easiest to keep. Shot with my trusty Samsung S10+ using a TrueColor (TC-25000K) filter and a 120mm Macro lens.Which one would you keep?
  • When Mike at @rebel.reef captures his slice of the ocean with the ScubaView Pro, it's amazing how much more of the reef you can see in a full frame shot. Being able to look back at older footage really puts into perspective how much each coral colony has grown over time.That wider view is exactly why I designed the ScubaView Pro to use your phone's full 1x camera in 16:9, without having to zoom in or deal with the black corners that are common problems with typical rounded lens tubes.It simply clips onto your phone and is easy enough for anyone to use—no photography experience required.
