Photography Group.
Our photographers meet regularly at a different location around Melbourne and occasionally a little further afield, to enjoy each others company and practice their photography skills. At the bottom of this page is a small selection of photographs which members have taken at different locations over the past year.
Most photography outings will be on the fourth Friday of the month.
We aim to start at 10am, take photographs for a couple of hours, and then have lunch together nearby. You don’t need an expensive camera, your mobile phone will do, and you get to see some great locations around Melbourne.
Please contact Michael Ransom on 0417 514 349, if you would like to participate.

Our March outing was to the City at twilight.
Despite the cold night we were able to take some great photos of the city and Southbank as the light changed from daylight to evening.

February 27, 2026
Six keen photographers travelled to Spotswood on the last Friday of February. After walking through Spotswood’s industrial heart and under the Westgate Bridge, we finished our excursion at Scienceworks, where many of us have spent time in the past with our grandchildren. We even found mangroves growing at the water’s edge underneath the Westgate Bridge. Thank you to Glenn for organising the day.
Our next outing is on Friday 27 March, exploring “late afternoon in the city”. We will meet "under the clocks" at Flinders Street Station at 5.30pm and photograph the city sights as the light changes from afternoon to evening. Weather permitting, we will then enjoy dinner at one of the laneway restaurants in the city.
If you are travelling by train, we will travel to the city on the last carriage on the 4.50pm train from Blackburn station.
Please let Michael Ransom know if you would like to attend. Ph: 0417 514 349.
