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:
June 27, Photography Review
July 25, Williamstown
August 22, Victoria Market
September 26, Yarra River Cruise
October 24, Newport Train Museum
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.
Our next photo outing will be to Williamstown on Friday July 25. We will meet at 10am at Gem Pier, where the HMAS Castlemaine is moored. Williamstown is a great place for photographers, along the foreshore, the streets full of period buildings, the Williamstown Botanic Gardens, and, of course, coffee shops and restaurants. Even if you don’t want to take photos, you are welcome to join us and just enjoy the experience. Please let Michael Ransom know if you will be attending.
June 2025
The photography group met in late June to review the photographs we had taken earlier in the year, at Richmond, Box Hill, Ballarat and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Thank you to David Morris for hosting us at his home.
We looked at many photos and took the opportunity to edit a few of them to improve their appearance. It's amazing what you can do to enhance digital photos: much more flexibility than when we used film.
