Digital Photography

DECEMBER

Yes its true!!!! Its Happy Xmas time (Again).

Its amazing that we can look back over 12 months to when we last felt the cheer of Christmas resting upon our welcoming shoulders. Indeed, a lot has happened with our meetings at the Bendigo Bank, along with a range of really great field visits, thanks largely to both Noelle and Marg T……. we even got a ‘nice bit’ of local recognition for our efforts photographing the inside workings of the Atheneum Theatre, when their patrons voted for the best 3 images in our display. Well done Marg T, Glenda B, and Don G.

Hopefully, if all goes well, we will have enjoyed our final activity for the year, with our picnic at Warrien Reserve – see photo below.

Our next meeting will be at the Bendigo Bank 25^th January 2024. Until then, have a happy and enjoyable family Christmas…… Remember our Homework will be your Best-of-Christmas.

Happy snaping , Don.

Meetings

The group meets the 4th Thursday of every month (except December as it clashes with Xmas) – 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 the Digital Photography revolution though understanding their new Digital cameras and begin the process of developing and expanding group knowledge about photography in general.

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