Reef Network Takeing pictures of your Tank Workshop
 
The first of, I hope, many workshops that the Reef network has planned How to take pictures of your Aquarium will be a fun afternoon with 2 people that work in the photographic industry.
Both Brad and myself have more years working in the photo industry than we would like to admit. The day will include one on one tips and tricks for your specific camera along with general rules of picture taking.

Please bring your camera and any accessories you would use to take pictures, Lenses, Tripod, Light boxes

The event will take place on Saturday March 15th @ 2:00pm

Please RSVP here or on the Reef Network Blog or 3Reef.

Darn! That sounds like fun, I hate to miss it, I sure could use the help. Unfortunately I'll be touching down on Maui right about that time :mrgreen:

Ha...ha...I'm in Coquitlam. That's like me telling everyone you live in Surrey!

Jason McK 02-22-2008 11:20 PM

Sorry my deepest apologies

Hi Jason

Its 82 and sunny down here in Florida, however I will be back in reality next Friday.

You can count me in and let my tell you, I need a lot of help when it comes to taking pictures of my tanks. My pictures always look as if I could be used as an earthquake early warning system.

Jason McK 02-25-2008 07:12 PM

Added to this wonder event is a Great Door Prize. A Kodak V803 camera. This is a 8MP 3X zoom digital camera
Kodak V803
WOW very cool Thanks Brad

christyf5 02-26-2008 11:01 PM

Count me in. Hopefully my camera will still be intact by March 15th :razz:

Jason McK 02-26-2008 11:03 PM

You remembered you needed some cutting boards and a grocery bag holder ;)

Address
 
The photo seminar event is a go (as far as I know...)

The address is:

House #66
1701 Parkway Blvd.
Coquitlam, BC

604-464-3055 if you get lost. It is right near the Westwood Plateau Academy golf course. There are only 4 available guest parking spots, so come on time (2PM) or you'll have to park on Parkway and walk a block.

Brad.

Jason McK 03-11-2008 05:16 PM

Don't forget this Saturday at 2:00. Plenty of time to hit your LFS before you head to Brad's

Everyone is Welcome!!!

J

untamed 03-12-2008 05:30 AM

We've decided that we had best specify a time for the door prize draw. Be there before 4PM, or miss your chance at the digital camera!

Brad.

SeaHorse_Fanatic 03-13-2008 10:10 PM

I'll be there. Since there's limited parking, hopefully we can arrange some carpooling. I'm in Burnaby, where's everyone else coming from?

I'll bring some brownies for snacks too.

Anthony

untamed 03-14-2008 01:59 AM

I'm all in favour of carpooling....but don't do it just because parking is bad. There are only 4 prime parking spots. Beyond that, you just have to walk 100 yards...

B

Veng68 03-14-2008 09:00 AM

If there is still room, I'd like to attend.

[Anthony, I'll call you tomorrow about a car pool]

Cheers,
Vic

untamed 03-15-2008 02:02 AM

Last advertisement!!!

Recharge your batteries tonight!!!

Bring your camera...even if you think your camera is no good...We'll show you how to get the most out of the camera you have.

Don't have a camera or your camera is broken? Come anyway! There will be spare cameras available so you can try your skills.

Brad.

untamed 03-15-2008 06:15 PM

OK..one more....

Refreshments will be provided.

SeaHorse_Fanatic 03-15-2008 06:32 PM

I'll be bringing Veng68, Franklin & TNT Canada. See you in a couple of hours.

The only risk is running out of food. See you soon.

Brad.

SeaHorse_Fanatic 03-16-2008 01:26 AM

Thanks for hosting this very informative & fun event. Met up with lots of local reefers & learned some good tips from both Brad & Jason about how to take better pics. Thank your wife for the munchies too. Sorry the Fudgy Brownie Bits were storebought & not home-made.

See you all on Wednesday night at the Fresgo.

Anthony

Veng68 03-16-2008 01:52 AM

Thanks to everyone for coming! That was a really great turnout. It was my very great pleasure to host the event and I hope that some useful photography experience was dispensed.

Grats to Dan (Mastergunsg) who won the door prize digital camera.

Brad.

Tom R 03-16-2008 02:25 AM

A big thanks to Brad (untamed)

Your tank is always worth the visit.

Thanks to both Brad and Jason for presentation. It was great to see everyone who took advantage of this event. I expect to see a much better quality of pictures in the posts from our GVRD Canreef members.

Remember we have a REEF NETWORK dinner on Wednesday and everyone is welcome. Come out and meet other REEFERS, we would love to here about your tank.
