Local photographers are putting on a show this weekend in Drysdale.
After a successful inaugural exhibition last year, the Bellarine Camera Club is back at the Springdale Neighbourhood Centre on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 November.
With about 30 display boards and hundreds of photographs on show, the exhibition will also include selected prints for sale, presentations from experts on safari photography, street photography and wildlife.
Made up of more than 50 keen amateur photographers, the club meets twice a month through most of the year, holding competitions and conducting regular workshops and field trips.
Club president Debbie Hallows said part of the appeal of the exhibition was the diversity of photographic styles that would be on display.
“We’ve got so many good photographers and the sorts of photos that people take can be so different,” she said.
“We’ve got a few that do great bird photography, a few that do great landscapes, and we’re finally getting more people who do portraiture, which is what I’m into.
“We’ve got people who do fancy things on the computer, compositing, although AI is banned in our club.
“There’s a lot of local stuff, awesome photos of birds, the beaches, the storms. Local always hits the spot, but then we also have photographers who go on trips to Africa and take photos of lions and beautiful coloured birds.”
