                                                           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.


Plans for 2024:

Our program for 2024 is to have an outing on the fourth Friday of February, March, April and May, followed by a review of photographs in June at the Blackburn Bowls Club. Then more photo outings on the fourth Friday in July, August, September and October and a return to Blackburn Bowls Club in November.

 

October -  Moonlit Sanctuary and Wildlife Park

On the 25th October five members of the photography group enjoyed a visit to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Park in Pearcedale.

Opening in 2001, it is an award-winning park which provided us with the opportunity to enjoy close up encounters with over 70 captivating Australian species. Everything from koalas, wombats, kangaroos through to tassie devils and a range of birdlife. All presented in a bushland setting.

Afterwards we chatted over lunch at their onsire cafe.

September -

Our outing was to Smith Street in Fitzroy and Brunswick Street in Collingwood.

It's Friday 27 September 2024.

It's AFL Grand Final Eve.

On a sunny public holiday morning six member photographers, including two newcomers Tony and Jan, walked the length of Brunswick Street, snapping the images of private dwellings and the nearby public housing estate.

Lots to see in a suburb known as a cultural hub of Melbourne. Live music, street art, cafes, curios and clothing shops. Fitzroy has it all.

One standout was the ring studio where people design and create their own individual 9ct gold rings.

The photo session ended with lunch at 'Babka', a well known eatery in the area.
