News
It took a while to fully organise our Yarra Valley outing as there were so many opportunities for interesting visits for photographers in this beautiful and generous part of Victoria and only so many hours in a day.
We started in Lilydale where we gathered in a very nice cafe, “Gracious Grace”, right next to the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum. The owner seemed slightly worried when we arrived. Two by two or one by one, 17 members used nearly all the chairs on the terrace! Then she was reassured that all we needed was a good coffee and some cake.
Member Françoise Muller-Robbie made a post to Facebook the other day that had me intrigued and filled me with awe.
Twenty members attended the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens on Saturday 8th September. Rhododendrons highlighted the floral display in the gardens, previously known as the National Rhododendron Gardens, in many different colours and massive blooms.
Who knew you could do so much in camera, our members did so well with the Creative Preproduction Set Subject in Round 5 of Competition. The images entered in the Open Category were also of high calibre. Read on to see the results.
Upcoming

Workshop: Paper Bag Challenge
Always a fun-filled night, our annual Paper Bag Challenge is on again. What will be in the paper bags this year?
At this meeting, members work in groups to make images, on the night, featuring the item/s in the paper bags they are given. No one knows what will be in the bags being given to the groups. It's always exciting to see each of the groups working to make something wonderful to present for peer judging by the end of the night.
