Take pics like the pro's for $6

[JuniorMC8704]

Ok, i managed to find the perfect tool for the average photographer to get pro quality pics for about $6.

Tons of people have asked me how to get only the coral to be lit and have an all black (or nearly black) background.

This normally takes several pieces of equipment, and open top of the aquarium, and doesnt usually allow for the proper lighting.

This solves all those problems. It couldnt have worked any better, and im proud to say i came up with it all on my own.

I happy to share this with you, and hope a few of you try it.

All made out of high heat food grade plastic, and stainless steel. Its about 8" across and designed to flip pancakes.

All you need to do is hold it behind the coral that is to be photographed. You now look have pics that have remarkably better composition, and punch.

I hope you find the results to be as stunning as i have.

Good luck, and i hope to see some pics trying this method on for size.

i find it easier to mess with the "levels" setting in PS

 

[dan10342]

but its a unique idea nonetheless. pancake flipper?? who would have ever thought....

Now all that's left is to clone out some of those little particles in PS. Great find!

 

[JuniorMC8704]

yeah, and then the subject suffers the same fate...or you spend all that time masking the coral...

oh yeah, i agree, my buddy and i were moving corals all over the place and kicking up sand everywhere...

i just had not gotten to that yet...thought sharing such an easy trick was more important.

that ponape pic im going to print and frame.

Heres a with and without...my light meter got a little wacky when i changed the amount of light available but...oddly enough the spatula directed more light back at the subject...
