Digital Photography
At our last meeting, Digital Photography Group had a “changing of the guard”.
After setting up our photography group 17 years ago, Don Gathercole has decided to take a step back.
Don has been Convenor for all but three of the past 17 years (he took a break from the Convenor role when he sat on the Clubs Management Committee, as Vice President, President and Past President).
Don has a wealth of Photographic knowledge which he is always willing to share with us. He has been instrumental in getting us to appreciate the technical aspects of photography as well as the fun part and to guide us towards taking much better photos.
Don will continue as a member of our group, and we will continue to look forward to his contributions. Thanks Don!
The new convenor of our group is now John Ballinger.
An outing for September 26th, has previously been penciled in as a visit to Rippon Lea. Further details will be advised.
The 2025 Probus Calendar will be completed this month, and we hope to have them available at the October General Meeting. Still great value at $10 each.
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 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
