Car Light Trails Outing and Workshop, Monday 25th March
At the club's March outing and workshop, 12 plus members gathered at the Melrose overpass in Wodonga just atsunset.
Our tutor for the workshop was David Woolcock with other Mentors Neville Bartlett, Phil Bell and David Willis on hand to offer advice where needed.
Members quickly caught on to the techniques and were producing some great images.
A feature at these outings is the more experienced photographers are able to guide and assist newcomers with their camera
settings as well as composition and lighting techniques.
Sunset Shoot Outing Monday 25th February
At the club's February outing, 20 plus members gathered at the western end of Dean Street Albury just prior to sunset.
The Harold Mair pedestrian bridge provided an elevated view over the city towards monument hill.
Clouds suddenly appeared on the western horizon which provided a colourful vista for the members.
A feature at these outings is the more experienced photographers are able to guide and assist newcomers with their camera
settings as well as composition and lighting techniques.
