The Ballarat International Foto Biennale was founded in 2005 and attracts significant International and Australian photographers as one of Australia’s pre-eminent photographic festivals. It is a not-for-profit event that immerses the historic town of Ballarat in photographic art. For over 14 years, the Ballarat International Foto Biennale has enriched the cultural landscape of regional Victoria and become the most significant, prestigious photographic arts festival in Australia. Held every two years it showcases work from domestic and international artists that is new, previously unseen in Australia or contextualised afresh; the Open Program fosters the development of new artists.
We are planning to catch the V/Line train from Southern Cross Station – although for those who wish to drive, you can meet the main group on arrival at Ballarat Railway Station. We will spend the day checking out some of the photography exhibitions in Ballarat, including MCC Member Melissa Jane Cachia’s exhibition (Ballarat Trades Hall). There will be some photography opportunities around town while walking between the exhibitions.
During the day we will have various meeting locations, coffee stops and get together for a late lunch before returning to Melbourne by train.

Spring is the best time to visit the Botanical Gardens (South Yarra). Trees are budding, and many flowers are already out.
Very good for macro-photography.
We will meet at 10.30am in the Observatory Café in the building with the Information Centre, just off Birdwood Avenue opposite the Shrine.
I will give everybody a detailed map of the Gardens, and we can then set-off and photograph whatever strikes our fancy.
Lunch will be at the Terrace Café. You are all most welcome to join us.

Digital Editing Group
2019-09-16 20:00 - 21:30
The Digital Editing Group discusses how digital photography is transforming traditional photography. The focus is not on how to capture an image, but on what can be done with it in post-processing, ranging from adjusting exposure and saturation to compositing, HDR and special effects. Share ideas on how to get more out of your digital camera, tips and tricks using Photoshop, Lightroom and other image processing software.
Topics for discussion will be posted monthly in the Digital Editing email newsletter and in eMCC.

Nature Group Meeting
2019-09-10 20:00 - 22:00
Paul Dodd and Ruth Woodrow have been seriously birdwatching for well over twenty years, and have rarely done so without camera in hand. They jointly hold the record for the most number of bird species seen in Victoria in a calendar year – 392, set in 2010, beating the previous record by almost 50 species. They also hold the unofficial record of having seen all the Tasmanian endemics in the shortest amount of time – 3 hours from picking up their rental car in Hobart! Paul has always been fascinated by the sea and from when he and Ruth took their first pelagic trip in 2005 has been completely hooked. After a few years as a participant, Paul took up the challenge of organising the sea birding trips from Portland in far western Victoria. Ruth is somewhat more circumspect and is perhaps a little less addicted to traveling 60km from shore to the edge of the continental shelf in charter fishing boats that are both cold and wet on even the best days at sea! Together they will present some of their best images and discuss the hows and whys of seabird photography.
