Photographing Trophies at night

In my experience of taking pictures at night with a cell phone you need more light. If you don't want to upgrade your camera/phone to one that takes better low light pictures I'd get a head lamp with an adjustable beam so you can flood the area you want to take the picture of with light.  Then the phone has something to focus on without having to wash everything out with the flash.

Thanks. That's kinda what I've been doing. The camera flash doesn't take a good picture at all.

Thank you. 

 

Thank you. I have used early version of photoshop. Think I still have it on a old Pentium II/ windows 95. Lol, that's a 20 years old version.

You're welcome! Wow, that has been some time ago, believe you'll find with the smart phone versions that things have been simplified since then. Also suggest checking out other editing apps that do color splash, can do some neat tricks with those such as the subject in color and the background black and white. 

 

On a side note, funny to think how advanced Pentium processors were in their day and these tiny cell phones of today are far more powerful than those PC's.

Lol yep, I remember the old 8086 and 286 dos machines. My 1st computer 1 meg ram and 10 meg hard drive $1300.

Think my 80/88 cost around the same. Upgraded to 20meg and Dos 5.0 and thought it was something! 😆

It would have been for the time. Just guessing around 1986. I remember Microsoft Word would fit on a 1.4 meg floppy disk. How about the old 3.5 inch floppy disk Sony digital camera. That's probably  Windows 95 era.

I use my phone camera and get my headlamp shining on the fish in a way it doesnt need the flash...  Not the best pics, but they usualy turn out ok.  Phones are either a Google Pixel, or a Note 8

Luckily they are both water proof!  LOL

Thanks, for the input. That's what I've been doing also. It's documentation or proof I caught it, but I'm wanting to capture the beauty of some of these fish better.

I have yet to tested the Pixel water proofing abilities. I can imagine it's about as water proof as a blackberry bold that I have tested though.
