Aqua Medic Colour Filter Set

Description

Aqua Medic Colour Filter Set — 52 mm orange and yellow lens filters for true-colour reef photos on smartphone or SLR

Anyone who has photographed a reef under blue-heavy lighting knows the result: a blue wash where the corals should be orange, green and red. Aqua Medic Colour Filter Set (SKU: AM65995) is Aqua Medic’s 52 mm filter set for aquarium photography, made to bring corals closer to their natural colours on camera by reducing the blue part of the light. The set contains two 52 mm screw-in filters, an orange one marked 15,000 K for the blue light phase and a yellow one marked 20,000 K for the daylight spectrum, together with a filter holder with a metal thread that attaches to most smartphones, and a storage bag. Because the filters use a standard 52 mm thread, they also fit SLR camera lenses with the same filter size.

Aqua Medic’s guidance on which filter to use follows the lighting. During the blue phase, when the aquarium runs mostly on its blue channels, the orange filter absorbs the blue part of the spectrum so the corals show their bright natural colours instead of a blue cast. In the daylight phase, with white light in the mix, the yellow filter gives improved colour rendition while keeping the scene balanced. On a smartphone, the holder sits over the main camera lens and the chosen filter screws into it; on an SLR, the filter screws directly onto a 52 mm lens. The live camera view through the filter also gives a quick, colour-corrected look at the tank on screen. For sharp results, hold the lens close and square to the glass to cut reflections, switch off the room lights, and keep the filters clean with a lens cloth.
