Emerald525 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 It's nice. I just wish the saturation was dialed down a notch to get a better feel for what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonH Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 It's nice. I just wish the saturation was dialed down a notch to get a better feel for what it looks like. +1 You always see pictures of corals and the background in solid blue. Come on! We know that's not what it's really going to look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 ya not bad, but it does look a bit off. Course the 250 eye isnt bad in chalice terms, ive seen a chalice go for 1200.00 an eye and people are buying it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trautman Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 That is also the coolest blue liverock i have ever seen... how much is that per pound? or does that come free with the super-saturated chalice(laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerv503 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 http://www.uniquecorals.com/uccollection10/uc-hellfire-chalice-frags You're right it's the coolest Chalice i've ever seen! What is the name of it? Vin "Keep On Reefing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 It's nice. I just wish the saturation was dialed down a notch to get a better feel for what it looks like. I want to know where I can get some of that blue eggcrate....... Not only is it way oversaturated but the color is way off. I played around with it a little in photoshop using the eggcrate and coraline as a basis for color correction and the best guess I can make is that it is green with orange eyes and rim. (Without being there to see it I can't tell how close my adustments were) It probably is a pretty nice looking chalice in person however it's certain that the picture isn't a very good representation.

That's one way I can always tell is the blue eggcrate. Rick are you able to post a picture of your best guess of what it really looks like?

LC Scott Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Think I like that one better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonH Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 That looks much more believable - and still a really nice coral. I just won't order from places that use that photo technique (I won't go so far as to say altering the photo). Thanks for posting, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Probably bad picture taking abilities...... I can not take a picture that is not overly blue due to my Radiums and my bad techniques. (sp.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just won't order from places that use that photo technique (I won't go so far as to say altering the photo). Thanks for posting' date=' Rick[/quote'] It may actually be that the picture completely lacks any corrections. (I suspect that the saturation was pushed up but it is still possible that the camera used did it) Personally I would prefer honest corrections to provide a more accurate representation. (Our lighting makes it almost impossible to do so without some correction involved) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 This is what I came up with. Thanks Rick! I actually think I like this one better and I agree with JasonH. I try not to buy from vendors who overenhance their pictures. A little bit of post photo production is fine and I do this to try to make the picture the most representative.

gradth Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Wow way to get all technical you geeks. LOL Either way its pretty cool. I did not get the infatuation with chalices a while back, but after having a small one for a bit and really looking at them, they are quite stunning.

TheGooseWhisperer Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Wow, that vendor is really doing themselves a disservice. First pic is clearly off, but if that corrected one is even close to correct that's a very pretty coral imo. I think i actually prefer the corrected version!
