Geniusdudekiran's ADA Mini S Iwagumi "Treeless Mountain" Updated 12.02.12

That is one nice PFR, and the CRS are low grades from what I can see? Even if they are, the look amazing for low grades....like better than my higher grades xD

I like the GTR, who's it signed by?

[somewhatshocked]

I'ma guess the last pic is the one with a flash? Seems to be a bit of light reflection in that one.

And low-grade CRS are cool - sometimes hardier and more colorful than the all-white ones that people like me horde.

Nope

Yeah, these were the ones that were out posing for me. Most of the males I've got are pretty bad, whereas a lot of the females are very nice. Weird.

Top two taken without flash? Lol over two hours though.

That's a nice PFR Kiran. Is that it's actual color though? Doesn't seem like PFR's have a blood red color.

Haha nope! The top was without flash, bottom two with.

Thanks. Nope, I swear, no editing on that one (just maybe the actual photo was a bit underexposed when I shot it making it a bit darker). It stands out of the rest because it's so dark. You can actually see how the red is so dark that it's dark maroon/black in some places, almost like some of the PRL CRS red!

EDIT -- unless editing the white balance is considered "editing". I do that on all these shots because the light over this tank doesn't fit any of the white balance settings on my camera!

[jkan0228]

Well you should still gimme 50% off

You should edit it so that it's the same color in person.

You can do a manual white balance or shoot in raw perhaps?
White balance can skew colors a loot though, just look at the difference your HC carpet shows on screen if you shoot it with a "cloudy" preset WB vs a flourescent WB! It will be extreme.

[@marko@]

doesnt the camera have an auto white balance feature?

[Ozydego]

I know when I try to use the auto WB it ends up with colors all over the place depending on where in a tank you are focusing. I try to find a WB temperature that most closely matches my lights... Like 6000K... The I adjust as necessary in software to correct it the last little bit. I have never had good luck customizing the WB either... I need to find out some tricks for that. It is time consuming correcting all the photos

[Geniusdudekiran]

Well, I keep it on Auto and just change the coolness/warmness afterwards in Picasa, so it's quick.
