Michael7979 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Just wanted to say "THANKS" to Calvin and his lovely wife, (sorry her name slips my mind- I'm horrible with names) for opening their home to us for the meeting!!! Also want to thank Calvin for the trade we made and the coral I bought!! Brought home a couple monti. frags and a torch frag. Thanks to Brandon aka finch6013 for the trade we made also. A nice green digitata. Met some new people today,( Brandon, Luis, Steelhead77 to name a few), and got to talk to a few that I haven't seen in a while also,(Issac, Ryan, Dave to name a few).

Fish Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Thank you! Awesome set up. I was really impressed. Being the new guy it was nice to put faces to names. I'll be more prepared to buy some frags next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I too was happy with my trades and Calvin have an awesome tank. Keep up the good work on the monti collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks Calvin for hosting the meeting and for the great deals on the Elephant Skin frags and the RBTA. (The RBTA attached to a rock within just a few minutes so that's a good sign) While I'm at it thanks Dennis (Dsoz) for the 2 hammers. They are also opened up already which is another good sign. Had a chance to see several faces both old and new as well which was nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undrtkr_00 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Always nice to go home with a few more frags than you started with. Good trading and a good time staring at the tank. That thing has come a long way in a year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 September PNWMAS Pictures I would again like to thank Calvin for hosting another great PNWMAS Meeting! I thought that I took some nice shots of fish and people, but all turned out blurry.:( I'm going to ask some advice on adjusting my shutter speed from some of our more experienced digital photographers!DOH! Anyway... here are a few that are clear enough to post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Try and get the shutter speed to somewhere between 1/30 and 1/60. 1/30 requires a steady hand. 1/60 isn't as critical but the lighting is usually too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I have a Canon PowerShot A530. A point & shoot is what is affordable to me at this time. I suppose going through the manual that came with the camera is a good place to start! I tried the night-time setting, but it didn't seem to make much difference. Reef tanks usually seem to provide enough light, if I can just figure out how to adjust the shutter speed.

If you can manually set the shutter speed that will help a lot. If not then try the macro setting for close pictures of the tanks and utilize the flash for wide shots where the light isn't as strong. (Flash tends to stop motion) Just keep in mind the reflection and compensate. Take pics at an angle so the flash bounces away from the camera. You can also use a small piece of white paper at an anlge in front of the flash to reflect the flash toward the ceiling if the ceiling in the room is white. (Colored ceilings will add a tint to the picture) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
