Springfield Photography Club: back in focus for 2024

Daniel Bouwmeester January 24, 2024 2 min read

After a nice break over the Christmas and New Year period, Springfield Photography Club picked back up again last week.

Springfield Photography Club meets fortnightly at Aveo Springfield. Meetings are usually held every second Wednesday from 7pm until 8:30pm.

It is a time for each of us to be able to share our expertise, including inviting guest speakers.

For instance, last July, Graham Landbeck taught us some techniques to capture sports photography. In August, headshot photographer and portraitist Amanda Waschevski led a truly fantastic, light-hearted but wisdom-filled presentation.

The Aveo location is spacious, and allows us to bring in props for photography practice and experimentation. Each meeting we tend to focus on a different technique, such as external lighting and shutter speed.

Last year, we took part in the #LetsDo52 photography challenge that inspired us with a weekly theme. We shared those photos both on Facebook and right here in The Greater Springfield Times.

We look forward to getting back into the swing of things this year and we invite new members to come on board.

Thank you,

Springfield Photography Club
