Just a reminder that this months workshop is shooting reptiles, tomorrow night 17th July at 7:30.
We are going to have a light set up so no flashes. Just bring your cameras and lenses. Best lenses are a portrait lens and possibly a macro lens if you have them. Otherwise best lens is the one you have!
Don’t forget we are still in Ashwood Hall.

Our June 2018 outing was to Churchill Island, off Phillip Island, on Sunday 3rd June 2018. This had been planned to enable members to photograph pelicans feeding, farm animals in a working farm environment and surrounds.
We had 17 participants for the Outing and met at the San Remo Fisherman’s Co-op, San Remo; just in time to see the feeding of the pelicans on the beach. Perfect weather; a little cloud but otherwise blue skies!
We then drove to Churchill Island and enjoyed lunch together at Churchill Island Cafe. The cafe had set up a special table for us.
After lunch we saw the milking of a cow, sheep shearing, whip cracking and a working dog demonstration. There were many other farm animals to photograph.
Some stayed until late in the afternoon which allowed them to enjoy a magnificent sunset during the drive home.
Others stayed to enjoy fish and chips at San Remo for dinner.
A good day had by all!
