Photowalk Community – Gasworks Park, neighbourhood and beaches around Port Melbourne
2019-09-08 14:00 - 19:00 | VIC
Our September photowalk will be held in Albert Park/Port Melbourne, with opportunities to photograph the park and gardens at Gasworks Arts Park, and the beaches and neighbourhoods around Port Melbourne.

Gasworks Arts Park is a vibrant arts precinct producing a range of high-quality arts programs, workshops and activities for all ages. Situated in Albert Park, Melbourne, on the site of the former South Melbourne Gas Plant, Gasworks is 3km from the CBD and the precinct houses four hectares of park, two theatres, three gallery spaces, a café, as well as function and workshop spaces.

Melbourne Camera Club is partnering with Gasworks Arts Park and City of Port Phillip in the HousingFirst Annual Art Exhibition – as part of the exhibition, a mobile phone photography workshop will be held at 2pm for HousingFirst participants. Attendees of the Photowalk are welcome to sit-in on the workshop, or the main group will walk around the Gasworks parkland/gardens area. Once the workshop finishes, the HousingFirst and Photowalk groups will walk and photograph around the general neighbourhood and beach area for an hour or so. After the HousingFirst attendees are farewelled, the Photowalk group will continue to Port Melbourne and Princes Pier which will hopefully offer long exposure opportunities and sunset (approx 6pm).

We will conclude with drinks/dinner at a local pub after sunset.

All visitors, friends and members of the Melbourne Camera Club are welcome.

What to bring:

Tripod for sunset/long exposures, ND filters, cable/remote trigger release
Spare battery as the cold weather and long exposures can drain batteries quickly
Spare memory card
Warm clothing, as the beach area can be exposed to southerly winds

Mat Hughes on The Complete Picture –
Mat describes his personal aesthetic that drives an approach towards Photography using the concept of the ‘Complete Picture’.
His own Photographic practice moves seamlessly between film and digital to produce unique images which on final presentation retain many of the values associated with traditional film capture and darkroom printing. These shared insights will appeal to Photographers who make images in both the film & digital mediums.

CCC/MCC Mid Week Outing Group
2019-08-21 10:30 | VIC
Mid-Month Excursion: Wednesday, 21st August
In August we plan to visit one of Melbourne’s newest galleries: Buxton Contemporary Art Gallery, which houses the collection of Michael Buxton. It is contemporary art ‘with a vengeance.’ Some you’ll adore, some will irritate you, some you’ll find perplexing, and some you will find pointless (Anyway, those were my reactions). But it is all highly photogenic, and photography is permitted. We will meet at 10.30am in the Script Café/Restaurant at the front of the Melbourne Theatre Company complex on Southbank Boulevard on the corner of Dodds St., just behind the NGV International, off St. Kilda Road. After morning coffee we will walk across Dodds St. to the Buxton Comtemporary. Note: This excursion will be on a Wednesday! Hope to see you there.

Digital Editing Group
2019-08-19 20:00 - 21:30 | VIC
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.
