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.

April 2025
Six club members travelled to Box Hill to take photos at the April meeting of the photo group.
We started off in the food court, lots of variety, particularly Asian cooking, with people everywhere enjoying the cuisine from China, Thailand, Korea, Malaysia, Japan and other parts of Asia. We then moved on to the market; lots of fruit and veg; some familiar and some not so familiar. Through the meat and fish areas, then out into Carrington Road where there are many more Asian Restaurants. One business had only recently opened and the from entrance was adorned with bouquets of flowers wishing the new business well.
Some of us also took photos of the amazing building development the area, before heading back to the food court for a well earned lunch.

March 2025
Our last outing was to Ballarat on a beautiful sunny day in late March. Five of us travelled by train, climbing the Pentland Hills and passing lots of windmills on the way. In Ballarat we took heaps of photos of the many beautiful Victorian buildings in the central business area, and some of us walked up to Lake Wendouree, through some of Ballarat’s premier real estate. Lunch was at the Lakeview Hotel, overlooking the lake. Photos courtesy Michael Ransom.
February 2025
Eight of our Club photoghraphers and one member from the North Balwyn Probus Club recently travelled to Richmond on a beautiful sunny day for our latest photo shoot. We took lots of photos and enjoyed coffee together. It is surprising how two photographers can take a photos of the same thing, yet come up with completely different results. It's all about angles, lighting and distance from the subject.
