Melbourne Camera Club

Special guest presenter - Tom Putt
2025-11-27 20:00 - 21:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Melbourne Camera Club, 254 Ferrars St, South Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Tom’s passion has always been photographing the breathtaking Australian landscape. As a kid Tom loved looking through books on Australia’s National Parks.
In 1997, He did his first serious landscape shoot, walking the Overland Track in Tasmania. Inspired by the likes of Ken Duncan and Peter Lik, he pursued his landscape photography at every opportunity. Borrowing then eventually buying his own panoramic film camera,
“I was obsessed with capturing the beauty of the Australia landscape in the best way possible. The large 6x17cms produced far superior prints to the 35mm counterpart.
In 2009 I published my first landscape books on Cradle Mountain, The Milford Track and the Routeburn Tracks in New Zealand.
In 2018, I fulfilled my dream of having my own gallery, opening in Main Street, Mornington, Victoria.
For the past 25 years, I’ve had the privilege to call the Australian wilderness my office. For me, there’s nothing more exhilarating than being surrounded by this serenity. Whether it be standing on top of a mountain, or wandering along an ancient dry creek bed, my heart and soul always feels at home amongst these landscapes.
Dont miss this special night .

We’re finishing off the year with a birding outing to the Werribee Treatment Plant. This trip was originally scheduled back in February but had to be cancelled due to a total fire ban, so we’re excited to finally return and make it our final outing for 2025.
The Werribee Treatment Plant is one of Victoria’s premier birding locations, home to an incredible diversity of species. It is especially renowned in summer, when migratory shorebirds arrive from the northern hemisphere after their long journey south. These birds join a rich variety of resident waterfowl, raptors, and grassland species, making it a top destination for bird photography and observation.
Bring your binoculars, telephoto lenses, lunch, water, sturdy shoes and a chair. We will meet at 10am at Gate 5
