GRIMM Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Im looking to find someone in Edmonton who has a healthy reef tank with fairly neutral lighting (no crazy deep blues) willing to invite me over to take photographs. I was mostly interested in someone who had some Clown fish or Mandarin Gobies, but it definitely isn't a requirement. Overall tank health, and a range of inhabitants is most important. I would do this at a saltwater shop, but I find it awkward trying to set up a tripod and worrying about being in people's way. If I end up getting some print worthy shots, I will offer a 12x18 high end print of your favourite picture for free. If anyone is interested, please EMAIL me and send me a link where I can see your tank. jgrimmier@gmail.com Here is my flickr page for some of my other work. Thanks. http://www.flickr.com/photos/justingrimmsphotos/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blink Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 If you haven't already posted it on canreef you may want to do so as there is a much larger salty population there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cainechow Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 You could hit up dez on canreef. His tanks is pretty nice stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIMM Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks. I didnt even know canreef was a thing. Dez was the first person I found from edmonton with a nice tank so I already messaged him before your suggestion. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cainechow Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 If you get the chance, check out his plumbing setup. All the guts are in the basement... Also check out his back yard. It is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Might be worth noting the intent. Make money and sell prints?...pure hobby only? Who has rights? I'd suggest talk with a shop owner about this and they might let you come in a few min early when they open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIMM Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I would retain all photo rights of course. I am taking the pictures and its not like I would be doing it without the consent of the tank owner. I focus on macro work, so the tank itself will not be distinguishable in the photos. Mostly for hobby and gaining experience with underwater photography, but if someone wants a print down the road I wont argue with them if I feel a picture is of high enough quality. With enought time I can guarantee I will get shots that a tank owner would want to purchase and be proud to display on their walls though. I can also take full tank shots for anyone who wants me to. If someone is nice enough to let me in their home I will do favors for them also, hence my offer of a free large print. I also talked to a few reef shops and unfortunately they were not receptive to letting me in prior to customer hours. I'll be heading to Marine Aquaria tonight to see what I can do during regular hours anyways for practice, and I'll chat with the owner too. Big Al's is just too busy and cramped right now with the construction going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
