cheap filters + iphone = beauty

[NedFlounders]

Bought a $10 set of filters on Amazon, rubber-banded them to my iphone and finally got some decent pics.

Nice! What color filter did you use?

Yellow.

I heard of people using filters.what are you actually filtering? What would the photos look like without filter?

Very very blue I believe

Also curious about this. Can someone explain from a lighting standpoint?

Oooh there are all kinds of neat lens attachments for iPhone! More things to look at on Amazon, sigh. This is a really cool idea, OP. Nice pics too!

You could also import the images into your favorite image software and tweak the white balance.

Looking at a color wheel helps. Yellow cancels out blue. Green cancels out red.

The pics typically are very saturated with blue.

That's exactly right, so depending on your lighting set up, you can use the other filters to compensate.

If anyone is interested, here's the cheap set I found on Amazon. As long as you don't mind using a rubber band to hold them in place on your phone, they're great!

Bought a set of this clip on lense for my iPhone. The macro lense is pretty cool. Can't get goo tank shots but everything in the house. Came out pretty cool.
