You can add me to the list. Just do not know how many meetings I can attend. I belong to WRS and it seems like I only make two-three a year.

I think jandlms volunteered in the other thread to host the 2nd meeting. His signature shows Green Bay so if that works out we may be in your neck of the woods.

16 and counting! That's a pretty good start...especially if we can get everyone to show up. I think there is some good potential for having a succesful club.

I think 17 months is a good age to start the reefing education Bring your "frag" with

Count me in... It would be nice to get to know some locals that share my passion of this hobby!

First order of business from my end...

I'm making a run to Foster and Smith tomorow with my truck. Anyone need some salt? If anyone wants to get into a group buy send me a PM. I would just ask a few extra bucks per bucket to help pay for gas.

Up till now I've been buying a bucket here, and a bucket there. But I'm gunna get a few this time.

 

[mherrb]

Sent you a PM.

Also... Could I be the unofficial FVRC photographer? :lol: I have awsome rates on my reef aquarium photo session packages. I work for the experience! (Donations accepted) :lol:

If you would like to preview some of my more recent work with my new camera, here's a link. Most of them arn't much more than just average, as I'm still getting familiar with professional digital photography.

Great pics Alan. Can we share the role of RVRC photographer though? I should have my D70 by the first meeting *crosses fingers*

 

[aberg12012]

Uh oh... you are getting one now too??? Nooooooo!

Ps... Prepare yourself... the spending dosn't stop with the camera. I've since been purchasing software, flash units, and lots of other stuff. I can't stop!!! LOL

Oh yea... and I'm glad you came to your senses and went with Nikon!

 

[aberg12012]

Ok... disreguard my message about the drive up to Rhinelander tomorow. I just discovered Petsmart on Westhill will honor the online price of $32 in their store. Hmmm, that'll save me about 30 bucks in gas. lol

 

[mrpink44]

aberg - those pics are awesome!! Nice work. Are they straight from the camera or altered with software??

Either way, the colors, clarity, and detail are nice!!

 

[aberg12012]

Thanks mrpink44. For the most part they are straight out of the camera... for those shots the only editing done was the normal RAW editing, which basically consists of setting the white balance via a gray card, and checking the histogram to make sure it's properly exposed. Photoshop was only used to resize and save as jpegs.

 

[mrpink44]

aberg - I'll have to "hire" you to do some photos of my tank when you have time. I have a decent point & shoot digital camera, but nothing like what you're using. Very nice!

 

[aberg12012]

Any time I'm free. Just send me a PM as to when you think you may want me to visit. My days off are sorta goofy. I work 4 days then off two, so my off days always rotate forward one week day. I'm off Today (sat) and tomorow. Then friday and sat, then thurs and fri, etc etc... And I work 2pm to 10pm, and usually sleep untill 1pm. LOL (Not much of a morning person.) But if I have to wake up in the morning, I SUPOSE I can.
