faux macro

heres a few shots of my corals with my 18-55mm kit lens. images were cropped and blown up about 50%. minimal editing other than minor sharpening and a little white balance adjustments.

btw the chalice is for sale

Those came out nicely

I have a similar lens so I'm inspired. Guess I have to learn to white balance a bit more

with my whitebalance i set the preset. what i did was take a closeup pic of some dried coraline on the back of my tank. i shoot in raw so the whitebalance setting when i take the pic doesnt really matter, as i adjust it in the camera afterwards.
