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.

The program is:

November 238, Photopgraphy Review

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 24, Newport Train Museum

Change of Date for next Photography Outing.

Our October photography outing is to the Victorian Railway Museum at 26 Champion Street, Newport. 

Unfortunately it is closed on Fridays and is normally only open on Saturdays from 12 noon to 5pm. Therefore our new date is Saturday, October 25 at 12 noon. We will meet near the entrance at noon. Entry is $10 per person, or $5 concession.

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.

There is plenty of parking at the site, and it is only 200 metres from the North Williamstown Railway Station. If going by train, I suggest we go in the last carriage of the train that leaves Nunawading at 10.32am, or Blackburn at 10.35am. We will then transfer to a Williamstown train at Flinders Street.

Please let Michael know if you are coming, on 0417 514349.

 

 

 

September 2025 - Brunswick - Glenn Ewing

On Grand Final eve Libby, Dale and myself ventured in to the wilds of Brunswick to take some photos along the always interesting shop fronts along Sydney Rd. It has a rich history with many buildings showcasing the names and dates of the past plus a wide array of independent shops, a strong community feel and a great selection of restaurants serving cuisines from around the world. One of these is a Chilean cafe called Nerudas near Anstey station where we enjoyed our coffees (Libby something more exotic!) chatted, and took in the trendy decor and inner-city vibe.

August 2025

From Michael Ramson

Our July excursion took four of our members, as well as three from the Balwyn Probus Club to Williamstown. It was very cold that day, but those who attended were able to take some great photographs when they ventured out of the warm coffee shop in the Main Street.

From Glenn Ewing -

On the 25th of July four members ventured over to Williamstown for our monthly photography outing. We were joined by three members of the North Balwyn Probus group which boosted our numbers and added to the enjoyment. It was a very chilly morning on the waterfront so after getting some photos we headed to a local cafe for coffee and muffins. It was great to have some different faces around the table and we all enjoyed a good chat. All in all it was a successful trip to historic Williamstown and it will be interesting to see what photos we have all come up with.
