2025 Photo Album – Mid-Week Group

1. Someone looking at the photo or painting, or similar
2. A straight copy

 

And also take a photo of the nameplate.

If possible, include part of the artwork in the photo of the nameplate. That way we know which nameplate applies to which artwork.

Email both photos. We will use the nameplate information to add the artist’s name & artwork title to the album.

 

Please follow any restrictions specified by the gallery regarding photography.

Never use flash. If you are using a phone, make sure to turn the flash off rather than having it on ‘auto’.

Also, no tripods. They are a tripping hazard for other people. 

 

 

Children make great photos.

But, images of children, where the children are identifiable, will not be added to the photo album. Even if you have asked for permission.

This is done to protect the children. Our album is available to all internet users, and we don’t know how the images will be used.

And for your own safety, we suggest that you don’t point your camera at children. Especially if you are male. You don’t know how a parent or grandparent will react.

Images of children on billboards will be allowed.

Titles:

If you want your image to have a title, put the title into the filename.

If you want special characters (eg: ! ? #) in the title, repeat the title in the email with the special character(s).

If you use a Mac and you attach the images to the email, you will need to type the titles in the email. The images end up being embedded in the email and we can’t see the filenames.

If you use a Mac, the preferred way is that you put your images into a folder and then attach the folder to the email. The folder is attached as a zip file and we can see the filenames.

eg:
Autumn Leaves.jpg
Spring has Sprung.jpg (In the email add: Spring has Sprung!)

This submission policy is a work-in-progress.

Tue 18^th March 2025 (3rd Tue) – Richmond Hill Walk

Mid-Week Excursion:  Tuesday, 18^th March

Richmond Hill is a neighbourhood that most people don’t really know.

Our 2nd outing for March will seek to discover its particular visual characteristics.

It lends itself particularly to choosing a photographic theme whilst walking its streets and back lanes.

Some themes are: quirky little old houses, garage doors in back lanes, ultra-sleek modern houses, imaginatively created small green spaces, styles of windows and old weather board textures. These are just some ideas that come to mind.

Meeting place and time: We plan to meet at 10.30am for coffee at the Black Gold Café, 285 Lennox St. (cnr. Gipps St.).

After walking around the neighbourhood, we will meet for lunch at 12.30 in the Richmond Club Hotel, 100 Swan St, on the south side of Swan St, immediately next to the railway overpass.

Transport options: By train to Richmond station (exit station on the north side, turn right). By tram no. 70 from Flinders St. Station. Exit tram on Swan St. straight the railway overpass. If you come by car, remember that there are parking restrictions in many of the neighbourhood streets.

Hope to see many of our Camberwell CC people, and of course our Melbourne CC friends as well.
