Our second outing for the year saw 12 members and family attend the Melbourne Zoo.
News
Continuing our journey around the page we started last year, 18 members head out to venture from Seaholme to Altona to capture our backyard.
Our second planned weekend away for 2023 was to Wilson's Promontory, where 18 Members and families endured unfavourable weather conditions. Our vice-president Karen Malbon had scheduled some great events for the weekend but unfortunately some of them either failed or had to be abandoned. This event was planned prior to The Covid-19 Pandemic and the numerous lockdowns but we finally got it on the calendar.
On Tuesday October 10th we left the club rooms behind and ventured into the city.
On Sunday 27th August 15 Club members met at the Newport Substation to commence our Exploring Hobsons Bay photo shoot.
Following the presentation by Phil Taylor and Tania Chalmers, 14 Members went to Converse Oval (Don McLean Reserve) to put into practice the skills and information that were gained from the presentation.
Our first Camera Club weekend for 2023 was to Port Fairy. Nineteen members and families headed down the highway looking forward to an interesting programme ranging from sunrises, exploring the town and walking out to the lighthouse on Griffiths Island as well as exploring the area.
Our annual fungi hunt yesterday, saw 18 Members and family including new family, Andrew, Maria and Patrick McIntyre head up to Mt Macedon, meeting at Days Picnic Ground.
The forecast of a hot and windy day did not deter fourteen photographers (and one supportive partner) from descending on Ballarat. Thankfully the wind kept the temperature in the mid to high twenties for most of the day but it did make hat wearing and holding the camera steady difficult. We gathered at the Ballarat station and soon dispersed, looking for interesting compositions. Brian’s hat went flying off his head and its rescue was captured by Karl, illustrating his street photography prowess.
On the weekend of September 2nd–4th, 30 Members and family headed to Benalla for the only weekend organised for the year. After two years of uncertainty due to COVID, it was great that the planned weekend was not cancelled or interrupted in any way.
