I saw several people asking about the next meeting and I was trying to get loose ends tied up again before making official announcements.

Our next meeting will be Friday, November 21st at 7:30 in the education building. Marc Levenson (melev on reefcentral.com and www.melevsreef.com) will be speaking on the subject of digital cameras. He will have a presentation that outlines what to look for when purchasing a digital camera and then how to take your own aquarium photos properly.

Marc has a small acrylic business in Texas (not his main occupation) and has offered to ship us a large package of his famous "top-down photoboxes". They require a lot of labor and he will make as many as feasible before his trip up here. We are going to be accepting payment for him through the club's website and then submit the payment all at once. When you use our paypal system we will have record of who has ordered and then we can distribute them at the meeting when Marc is here.

Right now we are working on a Paypal button for the site and we will post a link here as soon as it is available.

There will be an order deadline of 8pm Saturday, November 15th. That will give Marc a few days to get things all packed up.

The photoboxes will be delivered without the normal $12 shipping fee so that savings will be passed on to anyone ordering through the club's paypal account.

The only photoboxes that will be delivered to the meeting are the ones that are prepaid through this account. Please DO NOT order through Marc's site or you will pay $12 shipping and have him send it directly to you.

HERE is a link to the page on Marc's site where he shows what the photobox does and how to use them.

He sent us the one that was at the last meeting so we could pass it around and I got a chance to play with it a bit. Here is a cool picture I took of a purple gorgonian with polyps outstretched.

If you plan to purchase one but cannot make a payment right now please post here so Marc can know how many to make for us.

If you want to read up on a great site and get to know who our guest speaker is just take a few minutes to check out www.melevsreef.com

Hope to see you all on the 21st. It should be an information packed meeting!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention you can now renew or join online with a Paypal payment. That should make it a lot easier to become or stay a member to enjoy the benefits of this great club.
 
Well, our resident webmaster has added the link on the C-SEA home page with a purchase button. If you are interested in purchasing one through the club and having it delivered to the November 21st meeting please see that page for details.

Thanks Chris for the webmastering :)
 
OK, I want one for sure. Erik sounded pretty sure about his so that makes 2. I was hoping to give melev a pretty solid number to start making. Please post if you will be buying one.

Thanks
 
i need to update my paypal info, haven't used it in 2 plus years (divorce new bank account) But i forsure want one.
 
Thought I would bump this for those that haven't seen it yet. There's still only 2 people that I know are buying one of these photoboxes. I thought there were several at the meeting and posting online that they had to have one of them.

Well anyway I played around with the photobox a bit more and got some decent shots. It's nice to not have to worry about glare or reflections.

Check out the club's home page www.c-sea.org for details on how to get one without paying the $12 for shipping. The total is $41.50 and it will be delivered on the day melev will be speaking. (maybe he will autograph the lens for you :lol:

Less than 2 weeks left to order!

Thanks Tom and Ron :)

ronald.vaughn if you visit paypal.com it is free to sign up and very secure. It doesn't cost anything to send money either. You only pay if you are the receiver. If you really don't want to sign up for an account and would rather send money I could order one through my Paypal account for you but you would have to send me a check and wait for it to clear. If you want to go that route it will be cutting it close for time so shoot me a PM and I will reply with my mailing address.
If you ever plan on buying from anyone on Ebay it is great to have and you can pay for a lot of things online with Paypal easily. (including the C-SEA dues :D )

otisforme Awesome! I hope to see some of your pics when you get yours. They are really built well and have some unique features.
 
Looking forward to to the speaker and the topic and a NEW TOY lol
Maybe getting a camera upgrade to boot we'll have to wait and see.
