I was over at Alberts house the other night to photograph his tank. Another big tank lit by LED's.

I'm getting more and more used to photographing and post processing LED lit images. They are truer to real life now.

The tank just POPPED with only the deep blues on. Anyone who has seen this in person will know what I mean. The cameras just can't render these blues, that's why its important to shoot in RAW and adjust the white balance as best as possible in Photoshop.

All of these pictures are strictly white and black level balanced. NO saturation or vibrance levels have been touched.

So on with the show..........

Full tank shot with regular lights. Look close at some of the corals and see how they glow with just the regular lights!!

Thanks folks. The blues are certainly a challenge to photograph and PP but I think I'm getting the hang of it. I'm certainly open to any suggestions.
