ryanjury Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Just letting everyone who already isn't aware that the Auckland fishkeepers association will be having a stall at the pet expo this weekend we will have a number of different tanks running most of them quite big. And it also sounds like the rest of the expo would be quite fun as most of us are into all sorts of animals as well as fish, good day out for the kids too. More info here http://www.petanimalexpo.co.nz/preview.html would be good to meet some more people off the forums. For those who aren't already members of the club there will be discounted membership available on the day. Thanks to Hollywood Fish Farms there will also be a massive raffle run over the weekend with a massive prize pool including 3 all in one tanks so get down and buy some tickets!

ryanjury Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Yeah we have known aquaworld have a stall for a while, apparently they are right next to us, hopefully everyone doesn't just want to look at the "nemos" and not come and talk to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 It may not be a bad thing, the nemos will distract the kids and they can bash on the glass of that tank while the parents talk to you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Unfortunately you are not allowed to bring your own pets I just checked the website, no reason you can't come and see our stall join the club and buy your doggie lots of stuff to take home and cheer him after being left behind.

ryanjury Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Still wanting those lights Ryan?? Just bring as much stuff as you can if it is not needed then you can take it home with you again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Sophia the more pixels the better. Then I can crop or whatever as required to fit and it won't compromise quality but it is not mandatory. All I require is sharp, well focused, pics; not fuzzy ones. If you took a good pic on your cell phone it will be printable as the pics added to articles are not large. You do not need a fancy, mega pixelled camera. If you look through the conference pics in the Aug mag you will note some are better than others. A lot of the head shots were cropped from group pics and in a dark room so quality varied greatly. The printer does a good job of striking a happy medium when it comes to contrast. Some of the pics printed have been around 100kb, or less, and others up to 250kb as I resize big ones.

Sophia Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 cool I don't have a camera on my phone so you will get as big as I can get out of the camera, so should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
