Last Tuesday after our AGM the club celebrated its 60th Anniversary with history, memorabilia, games and cake.
It was a night enjoyed by all present, with thanks to the sub-committee of Jenny Adams, Kirsten Morton, Stef Wendler-Canning, Fiona Jones, Belinda Kerr, Tim Keane and John Crawford.
Over the next few months information about the history of the club will be added to the website, and more photos from the night will be added to our galleries.

A panoramic image has a wide format – its ratio width:height must be at least 2:1. This can be achieved by stitching images, or cropping an image. Landscape images celebrate the beauty of the natural environment, showcasing the spaces and scenery of the natural world. Images may include animals, people or manmade elements, provided the primary emphasis is on natural scenery. The image must look natural although elements can be composited to add to the story.

Set Subject definition:
This Is a non-formalized genre of photography that features subjects in candid situations within public places such as streets, parks, beaches, malls, political conventions and other associated settings. Images can often be ironic or emotionally detached from subject matter, focusing instead on a particular context or detail. Framing and timing are key aspects of the craft, with the aim of creating images at a decisive or poignant moment. (APJA)
The next club outing will be to the Westgate Park on Saturday 21st February 2026, your hosts for this outing will be John Noble and Mun Chin.
Westgate Park is a 40 hectares (99 acres) park sitting under the eastern end of the Westgate Bridge. There are walking tracks through the par and under the Westgate Bridge leading to the Yarra River. It was officially opened in 1985. The park has two lakes – the Fresh Water Lake and Saltwater Lake, surrounded by smaller ponds and wetlands. In the right conditions (high salt levels, high temperatures, increased sunlight), the Saltwater Lake may turn pink.
Depending on the subject, you may want to bring a telephoto (birdlife), medium (sculptures, landscapes, structures, river life) or wide angle (structure, landscapes).
| Date: | Saturday 21st February 2026 |
|---|---|
| Meeting time: | 8am |
| Meeting place: | Westgate Park Picnic Ground (near the toilets) |
Unfortunately, there is not easy access to a café for morning coffee, there is a bench at the picnic area where we can partake of BYO coffee etc before we head off into the park.
For those who are interested, we can meet for lunch at Pier 35 Bar and Grill at 263-329 Lorimer Rd (open 10am Sat). Note that it's a bit of a walk (more than 2km from the walking trail under the Westgate Bridge) so a better option is to drive there.
