Melbourne Photo Walk, Sun 2/5/2010, Altona, 1:30pm

Hey Photo Buffs,
Thought I'd put it out there.

I am proposing a photo walk on Sunday the 2nd of May. Link to Google Maps.

It is approximately a 6Km trail, with excellent views of the city, as well as encompassing some of Melbourne's fantastic wetlands.


Getting there
Car.
Your destination is here [Google Map].
Parking is easy. There is a car park at the bottom of the lookout.

Public Transport
This website says that it's a 45 minute trip from Flinders St Station.
Enter:
Flinders Street Railway Station (Melbourne City)
Into the "from" station/stop field, and
altona sports centre
Into the "to" station/stop field.

Time
I say lets arrive at 1:30. This should allow plenty of time for the PT crew that catch the 12:25 Flinders St Train (If you miss the 12:25, there should be a 12:45 train that should get you there by 2pm), hoping that there are no delays.

The Plan
Say hello. Chat about stuff. Geek out on each others camera gear. Why we use what we use. What we like to shoot. What we'd like to learn.

And then at about 2pm, head off venturing South, following the bicycle path, then cutting across the short cut and heading East through the wetlands.

What To Bring
Well, besides the obvious (jacket, umbrella --- it is Melbourne!) don't forget your camera and associated gadgets. A sandwich. And maybe a drink.

There are some nice places on the main St of Altona to grab coffee and cake, or pizza afterwards if that is what we decide to do.

It doesn't matter of you only have a casio-z57 or your iPhone. Everyone is more than welcome.

Also, it could be good if somebody has a video camera that they'd like to film bits and pieces. And we can edit the footage later on.

Another possibility is to get all your favourite images afterwards, and we'll make a Book or Calendar or make a Christmas something... Just an idea.

To give you an idea of the views and the area, here are some pictures that I have taken over the years.
