But they are somewhat more enthusiastic when I mention it's primarily a showcase, and that the club can do the photography aspect as a team. James replies: This was stressed over and over during our discussions - the Proposal will make it VERY clear as will any and all promotional material, that this is designed as a SHOWCASE and is meant to be fun and enjoyable first and foremost. The stess is on aquascaping not the photography. We don't want to scare people away from entering by thinking that their skills as photographers are not good enough.
