Photography Group.

Our photographers meet regularly at a different location around Melbourne and occasionally a little further afield,  to enjoy each others company and practice their photography skills. At the bottom of this page is a small selection of photographs which members have taken at different locations over the past year.

Most photography outings will be on the fourth Friday of the month.

We aim to start at 10am, take photographs for a couple of hours, and then have lunch together nearby. You don’t need an expensive camera, your mobile phone will do, and you get to see some great locations around Melbourne.

Please contact Michael Ransom on 0417 514 349, if you would like to participate.

All Probus Club members are welcome to join this group; we visit some really interesting places. You don't need an expensive camera, your mobile phone will do.

October 25, Newport Train Museum

There is a great array of steam, diesel and electric locomotives as well as old passenger carriages and goods wagons. It will be of interest not only to photographers, but also to anyone who is interested in railways, as well as Victoria’s history.
