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 an indoor venue ( to be advised) 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, 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.

OCTOBER

Our October meeting on Thursday 22nd of October will be our final photographic excursion for the year. It is proposed that we go riverside at Warrandyte (starting at the carpark at the end of Stiggant Street). Further details to be advised.

NOVEMBER

Another successful camera club year is just about over. Our final get together for the Happy Snappers will be on Thursday November 26th.

We will meet for our annual year-end picnic at the Kalorama Memorial Reserve on the Mount Dandenong Tourist Rd. Details will be sent out to our camera group a little closer to the day.

CALENDAR

The Probus Calendar which is a Camera Club project is currently on sale and will be available again at the November meeting,

I would like to acknowledge all those members who provide photos through the year and in particular thank the small subcommittee – Marg Detez, Col Pask, Pam Abley, Annette and Russell Oakey who all work very hard throughout the year to make the production of the calendar happen. Thanks team.

Just a reminder that the annual Probus Calendar will be on sale at the November General Meeting – a bargain at only $10. This is a Camera Club project.

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
