Portfolio SIG in 2025

March 14, 2025February 24, 2025 Jen Fawkes

It’s time to get the Portfolio group back and running. I hope you are all both energised and inspired by the work created by our members last year, and that some of you will join in this year.

Just to set the scene:

A portfolio is a personal body of work that you collect and create into a way to share this work with others.
You can be a beginner or an advanced photographer, and we only ask that you do your best, based on the level of skill you have.
There are some basic rules that I will share when we next meet.

Our first meeting will be on Tuesday 18th March, from 7.30 in the main room at Mount Waverley Community Centre (where we have all of our usual meetings).

For those of you that created a portfolio in 2024, please bring this along to share and discuss. Think about what you learnt, what worked, what was difficult, and what you might have done differently. We will also spend a little time discussing ideas you might have for 2025.

Everyone is welcome to join in.

Scenic Fireworks workshop and outing

March 11, 2025March 13, 2025 Jenny Hartman

Daryl Lynch (one of our members) recently ran an interesting and informative zoom workshop, teaching us about different styles of fireworks photography; the details of preparation and things which need to be considered as well as settings to use.

He followed this with a hands-on session observing and photographing the Moomba fireworks from a vantage point he had decided upon based on launch sites, wind and crowds. It was a great learning experience and time with other members. We captured some amazing images on that night and also on the following nights.
