a extremly bad photo of my clams

[SaltwaterSensei]

well for some reason I guess my camera is alot worse then I thought. But everytime I take a pic it looks like this...

Anyway here are my clams. I've had the large squa for about two years it was only 2" when I got it, its now pushing 10" the crocea (the blue one) I've had for about 3 years and was only 3" when I got it. Now its about 7-8". the other borwn crocea I've had for about 10 months and is growing pretty good. the other small squa has doubles in size adn is about 4-5"

tell me what you think

Nice clams, sent you a PM.

 

[SaltwaterSensei]

botp2k1,

I pmed you but it said your POM box if full, if you can email me at e30turbo@gmail.com


Thanks for the help.

Thankfully botp2k1 fixed the picture to look nicer and closer to what it looks like in RL.

thanks!

 

[botp2k1]

You're welcome.

You can always say it's a before and after pic when you feed phytoplankton. Do you feed the clams?

 

[SaltwaterSensei]

I fed them when they were babies. but I no longer feed them on a regular basis. I think the last time I fed them was 3 months ago, but only the small brown crocea.

when looking at the pics just pretend there isn't any aiptasia I'm working like a fiend to destroy them....

Nice clams, but the brown crocea is a gold maxima

 

[SaltwaterSensei]

ahh thats good to know, I've suspected that ever since it was sold to as brown crocea...

thanks

Botp2k1, what photo software did you use to clear up the image? Nice job BTW!.

Great clams - SaltwaterSensei.

Nice clams, sent you a PM.

Could you show me what you use and how you do to fix the pic?

 

[botp2k1]

I used Adobe PE 3.0 and removed the green cast and did some minor corrections, no enhancing of colors.

 

[Skorpinok]

Photo Editor, huh..., GOOD JOB.

 

[SaltwaterSensei]

yea he worked his magic on it.

This is odd, I took another picture and my camera didn't cast that yellow-ish.

Notice I killed those pesky aiptasia

 

[botp2k1]

Saltwater, sorry, I forgot to tell you when I fixed your picture, I also fixed your camera too. Isn't that amazing?

You definitely have some clean sand.

Usually if you correct the white balance on your camera you shouldn't get those hazy yellow pictures. Also if your camera has a macro function and you lower the ISO value to about 50-100 you get pretty good results. Also changing the exposure so that your lights don't come out too bright helps. And then finally taking pictures head on usually works best and pictures on an angle get distorted by the glass and then the water.

what about these photos makes you think my camera has that kind of adjustability...?
