how to take pics for zoas through glass????

[mattwils71]

i have recently started up my own frag tank so i can buy and sell corals across the uk, i currently have a samsung phone with a 5mp camera that can't give good quality pics, blurry and fuzzy i also have a digital camera fujifilm 1x zoom. but this is awful it can't focus probably because of the leds idk.
what i really want is a camera that can take close up detailed pic of zoa heads through glass with leds beaming ahead, yeh i know its a lot to ask but my phone is close its just not quite got a detailed enough camera any options?? I've seen the kodak easy share c195

Have you tried top down pictures?
Although an expensive DLSR camera could help,there are many descent compact cameras under 100$ with high iso and good lens quality.If you are looking for macro pictures look for optical zoom.Then look for a nice program to proper fix your photos from supersaturating blue color.
Then you could just crop and downsize pictures.It needs practice patience,and skill.
Somewhere I ve read that you could take good clear pictures under leds using 3D polarized glasses.You could try that too.
I have the same problem my friend.It is hard getting good pictures under leds.
Cheers!

Top down photos are the best. Make as mall frag rack with egg crate and a magcleaner, raise it near the top of your tank, turn off all flow, wait for 15 minutes or when zoas are full open, turn your whites mode to cloudy on your camera, and have fun taking photos.
