CCC/MCC Mid-week Outing
2020-02-18 10:30 - 14:00 | VIC
The Queen Victoria Market is a riot of faces, shapes, colours, textures, not to mention, smells. Ideal for all types of photography.
We will go there on our first CCC excursion for the year. We plan to meet at 10.30am in the Café Victoria directly next to the Elizabeth St. tram stop, a dozen or so metres south of the main entrance of the QV Market.
The possibilities for photographs are limitless. So after our usual cup of coffee, a good idea is to just walk through some of the market and decide what theme you want to shoot in your images. Then go back with this in mind, and shoot away….
You are most welcome to join us.
Joe Hajdu.

This is the monthly meeting of the Portrait Group – first Monday of each month. An excellent chance to practice portrait photography skills and grow your portfolio.
The meeting is a practical photography session. We use flash lighting in a studio setting. We will have 2 sets operating and 2-3 models, so there will be ample opportunity to shoot.
Open to all MCC members (and visitors may attend up to 2 sessions). If you want to shoot, please bring your camera (with a standard hot shoe on top for the flash trigger) and $10 for a shooters licence.
Please come along at 7pm to help set up. We start shooting at 8pm, and stop when the models say they’ve had enough (typically 2-3 hours).
Please remember that after the shoot you are required to send some photos back for the models.
