lol, i cant even begin to explain how excited i am about having an actual display tank soon.

I really expect to step up my game by leaps and bounds.

Looking for an excuse/opportunity to visit my dad in Davison, mainly, if you folks are willing, so I can photograph some of the corals you guys keep. You seem to have a whole different and better class of corals than we typically see in the Chicago area.

Salty,
Would like to head to Michigan this weekend, but will be at a swap in Bloomington, IL Sunday. Trust me, a trip to Michigan is in the future.

A spring trip would be perfect. By then I should have the new tank up and running!

my house looks like a bomb went off after a tornado.

My wife loves all my projects.

BTW, I just ordered (a cheap one) a macro focusing rail, i should have it tomorrow.

Ill let you guys know how it works. I want the "good" one, but im not up to spending 500 on a couple screws and metal bars right now.

Hey Gary

we are having a rather large Frag Swap on Jan 25th maybe that would work I am sure many of us would be interested in a photo lesson or two even willing to pay out of pocket with in reason of course. if you haven't heard or economy in Michigan is in the toilet. or we could come up with something simular. honestly the only one I have seen that got close to you is a old friend of mine haven't seen or heard from him in about two years used to go by Nikon Guy like to use the same method you are talking about.

I attended your swap last year ... got some great pieces pre-ordered off the club website and also got some nice raffle prizes! It would be fun Gary and it would get me out of a huge Snowmobile show in Minnesota that I dread attending!

Poseidon · Nov 6, 2008

Yup, you are welcome here too! I live about 10-15 miles west of Davison, so not far away at all. I'm going to get the studio lights out and try and blind some fish!

Poseidon · Nov 6, 2008

Hey Gary, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

I have a long way to go, but this was a quick and dirty 2 strobes and my 24-70. I may just have to get that macro lens after all! This was FUN!!!

Poseidon · Nov 6, 2008

My focus is off the eyes, but I think I am close.

Poseidon · Nov 6, 2008

One more...

My Purple tang ruined my background though....

Labman, in what city is the event? I'm always willing to make aquarium photography presentations and have done several. It looks like that weekend is open. And if I can help Sara get out of a snowmobile show, it's worth it. I generally just ask that you cover gas and hotel costs. Let me know.
