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.
