We are organizing our first official US Meet.

When : April 2nd, Sunday
Where: Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA.
Time: around noon or so, more exact closer to the time
Cost: Adults $12.99 (reg. price $19.99) kids $8.99 (reg. $11.99)

We are getting a group rate, which needs to be collected and approved by them up to 2 days before. Which means if you know for sure, you are coming, please contact me about being added to the group, and pay the fee. Your ticket will be reserved. Anyone who comes at the door, we can not guarantee that they will let us buy more tickets at that price, you may have to pay reg. price.

Aquarium of the Pacific is amazing. It's a perfect SoCal venue for our gathering, as it has lots of space where we can spend time as a group and discuss stuff.

People that are coming PRETTY MUCH for sure: Me, Hiro, Ibn (Eric). Hiro is coming from Hawaii, and Eric from NorCal. Benny is supposed to be coming too, but it's not for sure, we need to confirm with him.

This is a great chance to mingle with fellow APF'ers and get great advice "on the spot" from some of the best Aquatic Photographers around.

Man, I would love to attend. Just the oppurtunity to meet you guys in person would be worth the cost of the trip itself. I know I could learn so much more. You know, up and close.

BUT, I CAN'T DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS HAVE SO MUCH BETTER EQUIPMENT THAN I DO!!!!

:-( :'( :'( :-| :-/ :-( :lol: :lol: :lol:

LOL, no worries, Bobby. D200 are really scarce low at the moment.

Plus, we know it isn't the equipment but the output that's produced. The photographer plays a critical role in how the shots turn out. Also, like Hir0 said, it'll be a great way to test out other equipment that you might want to consider down the line.

Lots of glass for me to sample before I buy!!!
