Can you take good reef tank pic with a iPhone6?

I wonder how the gel filter would do with the clip on macro lens....I cant wait for them to come in the mail now!

It works great. The macro shots you see above of the Zoas, where taken precisely with that combination. The lenses are even cheaper than the gel filters. I paid $5.00 for mine on eBay because they are magnetic, instead of clip on, but they work the same way.

Pretty sure you just saved me $300 I would have wanted to spend on a dslr camera capable of handling of the actinics. I just bought the filters off the ebay link you posted. Thanks dude I can't wait to post some pics of my chalices now that I'll actually be able to show them off under the true blue lights and not with the whites cranked up to 100%.

I'm very happy to help. I look forward to some of the pics of your corals.

What is the clip on lens that you use to hold the filter, Webmanny?

 

[Webmanny]

You just put the filter first and then the clip over it.

Using the gel filters that were linked above I was able to grab some awesome pictures of my tank for the first time ever using my iphone5.

Fantastic shots man. I love those corals.

Have you gone underwater with your iPhone 6?

Old thread I know, but came across it.

My buddy uses cheap yellow tinted safety glasses and takes a pic.

Comes out alright.

As others said above if you can shut off some of the more blue lights it does help. When I was with my ex we used to be big into large freshwater predators and she used to do a lot of pictures of them. She's was pretty serious into amateur fish photography. We used to use one of these lights. Warnings, it is HOT and BRIGHT. Literally if you run it very long not far over the water on a smaller tank you can probably raise the temp a few degrees. And I can't imagine it's super good for sensitive inhabitants to run it very long. But perhaps on a short term basis it can be used safely for your purposes. We used to use a clamp and mount it a few inches off the water. When you are shooting moving fish that much light certainly helps get the shutter speed up to a very fast speed and reduces motion blur.

The first picture was taken 8 months ago with an iPhone 6. The second picture was taken a week ago on an iPhone 7.

Is it possible to take good pic using a iPhone 6 of led lit reef tank?
Some of my pic turns out ok but most are too blue.

If turning off the blue lights is not possible, then use gel filters to take pictures. Gel filters are very cheap and you can do it easily. There are numerous videos in youtube on how you can do it.
