*** Submission Policy ***
Photos of Photos or Paintings:
- Someone looking at the photo or painting, or similar
- A straight copy
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.

*** Future Outings ***
For our outing on Tuesday 3rd June, we are heading down to Port Melbourne to visit Station & Princes Piers.
Station Pier opened in 1854 and has been Melbourne’s primary passenger terminal. The current pier was built between 1922 and 1930 and is the largest timber piled wharf structure in Australia. Station Pier is currently closed to the public.
However close by Princes Pier is accessible and offers a number of photo opportunities. Princes Pier was constructed between 1912 and 1915 by the Melbourne Harbour Trust to supplement the adjacent Station Pier. Originally called Railway Pier, in 1920 following the visit of the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) it was renamed. It was a major arrival point for new migrants, particularly during the post-war period. In the 1990’s following the boom in the use of containers for cargo, the pier became unused and was closed to the public. Refurbishment started in 2006, the first 196 metres of the pier fully restored, and beyond that point the decking was removed and the original pylons preserved.
We will meet for coffee/tea at 10.30am at Mr Hobson Café & Bar, 9 Waterfront Place, Port Melbourne only a short distance towards Station Pier, from the Beacon Cove tram stop (the end of the line).
We will return to Mr Hobson for lunch at 12.30 pm.
How to get there?
The preferred option is by tram – route 109 from Box Hill to Port Melbourne. The tram runs along Collins Street before turning left into Spencer Street and then off to Port Melbourne.
If you wish to bring your car, there is limited parking in Beach Street.
All Melbourne and Camberwell Camera Club members, and friends are very welcome.

Tue 18th March 2025 (3rd Tue) – Richmond Hill Walk
Mid-Week Excursion: Tuesday, 18th 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.
