subsea Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Count me in, I'll bring boudain and seaweed. Maybe some cheviche. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceviche It did me good to read in Wikipedia the different spellings. Since I am such a bad speller, I now fell "boni fide".

subsea Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Dave, I begin reading your 150G tank build post. I am envious of the way that Robin has embraced reef keeping with you. My wife of 38 years tolerated my hobby. It means so much more when you are not the only kid in the house. Patrick PS It seems as if the natives want to go X-rated on you with the Jacuzi. Remember, only you can prevent forest fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Jakedoza Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hey Dave, Are you going to need any help on the topic side of things? I can help with some instruction/teaching if needed. LMK. -Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsea Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Jake / Dave With respect to photography, cane I get a suggestion as to which camera I need to buy. I am almost as dumb as a brick about producing pictures. I would like a KISS (keep it simple, stupid) camera. Something we might call bullet proof or fool proof. I am going to buy a sponsorship for Castille Coral Ranch and I want to start posting seaweed maraculture pictures. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Jakedoza Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 These kind of questions can always turn into "this camera brand is better than that camera brand".. I really don't think you can go wrong with either a Canon or Nikon point and shoot camera. Personally I'm a little biased to Canon because that is what I own and use. My wife has a Canon Elf, as do I and they work brilliantly. I also like the fact that most of the Canon point and shoots can be hacked with CHDK to give them more abilities, but I know all of that may be over your head.

I will not debate which system is best. I will have ever you find a price point you are comfotable with and see what is available. I strongly suggest you hold, play with and ask a lot of questions before making a purchase. After all YOU will be the one usnig it. But, my first camera was a 1965 Nikon Ftn.
