Aquatic photography workshop - OVAS project idea

[adam_ottawa]

I'll be there for sure!

If anyone needs a ride, please let me know.  I live in the East end of Ottawa (near Silver City theatre at Blair Road) and am willing to pick up people from Silver City area to near downtown.  PM me if you need a ride.

See y'all there!

Pegasus:  Should we bring anything...food, munchies, $$ contributions for anything?

I would like to attend but my camera died on me a few days ago
Anyone mind if I show up anyway?

[babblefish1960]

No problem DFC, dress up like a fish and you can be a subject in one of the tanks!

[PaleoFishGirl]

There are enough photos of me around this site already, thanks

Come anyway, I was planning on bringing a couple of extra cameras.......

[babblefish1960]

Well that is a little weird, one for each eye, and the other extra you use with your feet behind your head? Sounds intriguing actually.

Doesn't everyone do that??

[Nerine]

I'd love to come along...(I'm going to become a member at the next meeting.)

I'd need a lift though! I live near Silver City theater too...I'll bring munchies in trade for a lift!

[KLKelly]

If there is still room I would love to attend.

I have a canon S3 and cant take any close up pictures for the life of me.  It would be neat to be able to get a non blurry shot of the fry.

I can bring drinks or snacks also.

Is there like an official signup sheet or something?  Maybe make a thread?

[babblefish1960]

I missed this !   Ron I would appreciate getting a lift with you, that would be great!

[beowulf]

OK I officially signup in this thread!!!

I was just thinking about what people might think about before arriving at the photo session and came up with the attached doodling bit of thought. Nothing spectacular or earth shattering.  Just doodling 

Looking forward to seeing all of you.  Keep your eyes open for ideas  .

Wow! That was spectacular, the questions bordering on the earth shattering, and here I thought doodling was drawing unrelated shapes on a napkin during intense dinner conversations!

Teasing you rockgarden, there are some very good things to know about prior to the workshop, so there isn't a lot of time wasted with "I dunno's". A good guide for being prepared, I'm guessing you are a closet boy scout, so relaxed and ready!

Thanks for the checklist.

[PaleoFishGirl]

Thanks, Ron - excellent things to think about.

I just bought a new camera that you can use underwater, no special housing required! The first thing I did was dunk it in the aquarium   I'll bring it along so we can play with it, it's fun.

I'd like to stop by, i recently got a canon digital slr, hooked up an old 100mm f2.8 macro.  Wouldnt mind getting tips on how to increase depth of field.....I find i need the aperture wide open under my fluorescent lights, giving me no depth for focusing.  i.e. My goby's head is in focus but his tail is blurry.  I try closing the aperture more but then I need to decrease shutter speed, giving some blurry pics once i go less than 1/60.  or if the subject moves...more light is what i need i guess.  Is the meet at Pegasus' next sunday?

Just to give everyone some idea of the scale of digital camera production worldwide here are some numbers for one Nikon factory.
