Melbourne CCD Camera Photowalk Meetup - Botanical Gardens

Hi everyone! We created this group to have fun and relaxed adventures with other photography enthusiasts here in Melbourne!

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned photographer, everyone is welcome!

This will be our second photowalk where we'll walk around the Botanical Gardens and practice taking photos of plants together - this photowalk's theme is RED!

Share tips and tricks with fellow photographers, pick up new insights about camera settings and lighting, and dive into the art of photography. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to improve your skills and enjoy the great outdoors with a group of like-minded people!

What We're About:
We are a community of like-minded photographers who gather monthly to explore the beautiful streets of Melbourne CBD, capturing the city's essence through the lenses of our beloved CCD cameras. Our photo walks are relaxed, fun, and all about celebrating the unique qualities that CCD sensors bring to digital photography.

What to Expect:

• Monthly Photo Walks: Join us as we explore different parts of Melbourne, from its iconic laneways to hidden gems, all while snapping away with our CCD cameras.
• Casual Meetups: We'll share our shots, stories, and tips. It’s a great way to learn from each other and make new friends.
• Community and Support: Whether you're new to CCD cameras or a long-time user, this group is a place to ask questions, share experiences, and enjoy the art of photography together.

Why CCD Cameras?
CCD sensors are known for their vibrant colour reproduction, smooth tonal transitions, and that unmistakable “look” that many photographers cherish. If you’ve ever felt nostalgic about the early days of digital photography or simply appreciate the aesthetic of CCD images, you’ll feel right at home here.

Join Us!
If you have a camera with a CCD sensor (or even if you’re just curious), come along to our next photo walk! We welcome photographers of all skill levels—whether you’re shooting with an old-school DSLR, a compact point-and-shoot, or anything in between.

Let’s capture the city in a whole new light, one frame at a time.
