Next in line will be a company that sells corals based on a certain lens and makes "Reef Glasses" for viewing pleasure.
Come one, come all, step right up and put these glasses on to see your reef go from DRAB to FAB.
I remember the first time I walked into my house wearing mine. I was shocked at how things looked. And as a side note I will never buy another pair of glasses. I've had just about everything and none compare to my costas.My costa del mar 580 lens definitely enhance my tank colors.
I was just about to post this. I have the 400 series.My costa del mar 580 lens definitely enhance my tank colors.
I use my phone's camera.Not sure if this will work on a Nikon. Might try it out ...
This is just ONE of the many many tricks dishonest people use to manipulate pictures. The term "new technique" being used by people here is bothersom. These actions are dishonest, and should be looked on as so. If you are making art you can do whatever you want, but if you are selling a product and taking deliberate actions to misrepresent the look of that product, shame on you.
As a professional photographer for the last 18 years our hobby's view of color has always been concerning. If I do a shoot for Nike, or Nordstrom the color of the photographs I give them has to be 100% accurate. Not 98%, 100 %. It is very easy to do.
A color chart is $10-15 bucks depending on if you want the grey scale in there too.
You can balance the color per coral to 100% accuracy in a minute. Extra cost is $10-15 one time fee.
Now if you buy a shirt in a catalog for $10 and the color is off you get to return it. The company can get in trouble for misrepresenting the product. But when we buy coral for $250 based on color, consumers don't excersise that same right.
I know that some people have "ways" of telling how much something is manipulated. Trained eyes can see things sure. But trained people like myself if I chose can also fool most anyone if we take the time and want to. My favorite completely inaccurate way that people "tell" if a picture has been manipulated is by the color hue on the egg crate.
The other big fallacy is that you can tell with Black Eggcrate if it has a hue to it. Do you know there is a tool in Photoshop and lightroom, that will desaturate that specific hue, and it can be painted on certain parts of the picture in a matter of seconds leaving the coral color alone. Now would anyone take the extra 20 seconds to do that if they can increase the sale on the coral by a hundred bucks and rip someone off. I hope not... what do you think?
Recently there was an etailer who had a neon pink bubble tip anenome, ultra rare, $1500. Anyone ever see a RBTA bleach? Photograph that with a blue white balance with a little manipulation... you turn a dying coral into a $1500 profit.
If you guys want to change the habits of retailers making sales off of dishonest methods then everytime you get a coral in that does not look like the picture, return it and demand every cent you paid back. Then come on here and let everyone know. This is our community. If we want to change it, we need to change it.
I don't think it works on a Nikon, I tried it for Sx##S and giggles but didn't work but I'm not camera savvy either.Not sure if this will work on a Nikon. Might try it out ...
