Camera Club

Our meetings are on the fourth Thursday of each month and for the benefit of our newer members we alternate our meetings between the Bendigo Bank Community room and a field visit to take photos.
If you are new to Ringwood Clocktower Probus Club and enjoy taking photos (camera or phone), why not consider joining our camera club. You would be made very welcome.
At our first meeting for the year at the Bendigo Bank, we agreed on a number of potential field trips and homework projects for the year..

New members are always welcome to join our group of happy snappers! Just contact me if you would like to attend our meetings.

AUGUST

The 27th August meeting will be an outing to Lilydale Lake where there will be many photographic opportunities. If anybody would like to join our group and tag along with their camera at Lilydale Lake, just let me know.

SEPTEMBER

We will get to see the photos from the August outing at the 24th September meeting at the Bendigo Bank. Homework for this meeting is capturing birds in flight

We are also expecting a guest speaker who will talk about his career as a Photojournalist.

Tip:

Keep a backup of every single one of your photos. Your photos should never be stored on just a single hard drive at a time, because eventually your hard drive will break or be replaced. It’s not a question of if, but when. If you do not have cloud backup, consider using a removable storage medium such as an external drive or memory stick.

Meetings

The group meets the 4th Thursday of every month (except December as it clashes with Christmas) – from 1330-1600hrs.

Our normal meetings are held in the meeting room of the Bendigo Community Bank in Ringwood East.

Activities

As well as regular meetings at the Bendigo Bank venue we often have day trips to specific photographic locations. Additionally, as opportunities present, we may invite a guest speaker to address the group.

History

We have been active since the inception of the Ringwood Clocktower Probus Club Inc. as one of the first convenor led groups.

The objective of the group is to help members begin the process of getting more out of photography by understanding our cameras and developing and expanding both individual and group knowledge about the various aspects of photography.

We have held photographic exhibitions at a number of our birthday celebrations whilst also producing our annual club calendar
