Our second Outing for the year is to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne on Sunday 4th February 2018.
This will be a morning shoot commencing at 9AM (to beat any heat of the day) and conclude with lunch at the Boon Wurrung Cafe on site.
It would be appreciated if you could advise if you will be lunching with us and your mobile phone number for the day. Lunch numbers are needed to book a table and phone numbers will enable any last minute changes.
Entry to the Gardens is FREE. The lunch menu is moderately priced.
We have a bonus outing in January to the Yarra Valley Rodeo in Healesville.
This opportunity will promise you action shots and street photography. Action/Motion is on our Set Subjects for 2018.
