Aquatic photography workshop - OVAS project idea

[charlie]

I got to thinking , with the photographic expertise within the club ( Rockgarden, Pegasus to name a few) would it be possible to have a workshop( depending on interest ), one where you bring your equipment & maybe a pool of experts can cover different pointers. A winter weekend would be great for this.

I would definitely be up for this!

I'm a newb in the photo world but I got all this fancy equipment that I need to learn to use properly!

[Zoe]

I agree! I take terrible pictures of my fish.  However I would be concerned that people with mediocre cameras like mine (3.2 MP) would not get as much out of such a workshop? Or is there hope for us yet?

[pegasus]

Great idea
It's something I could organize with rockgarden's help if you guys don't mind a humid basement and buying the pizza.
And please... yes all camera should be tried out. If we can't do a better picture that what you already been doing than you will no your camera's limitation.

[Zoe]

I'd go to that! I'll bring a case of beer. Which you may share only after I am taught how to take magazine-quality aquarium pictures 

[Baldrick]

Fantastic idea! Add me to the line of people filing down to the basement.

[charlie]

Anybody else up for this, pegasus is willing  .

[jetstream]

Sure! I'll bring a plain pizza then we can add some fresh Africian sushi on top on the site! 

[rockgarden]

I'm willing.

Would we be limited to 70 members in that Aylmer/Hull/Gatineau basement?

I know Pegasus is already over the Aylmer limit for number of tanks and snails in a bathroom  .

Sure if you bring the shrimp. How would you serve the Blue Dolphin?

It's been a while that you have been to my place Ron. When the QPP showed up to bust me for pot growing, they were not amused to find that the hudge electrical bill were for growing fish. They did get me for illegal extra outlets in the bathroom, now the only room without fish, even the beta had to go.

I'm thinking... no I've been told it had to be around the end of January or February, time to clean up and to sent their way those that lingered since Christmas. Is that fine with you guys? Please! you haven't seen the state of the basement.

I'm planning an hour of the most simple techniques and maybe two hours of more elaborate set up.

The shrimps that I still have left not even well feed one of your Frontosa!  I wish I have enough to organize a all you can eat RC shrimp gathering!

[Laura]

I'm interested.

[fishycanuck]

Yes yes yes, plus a salad

[adam_ottawa]

Can it be after 8 November though?  I'm going to be out of town till then

[oenology]

By then I might even be back in town!

[adam_ottawa]

Oops...I must have missed that...thanks Pegasus!  I can't wait till then.

When is this supposed to happen?
Does it make a difference what type of camera you own?
Put me down, I'd like to learn something also.
