The first regular Photographic Group meeting of the new year takes place on Friday 27 February at 10.00am in the Theatrette. The meeting will kick off 2026 with an expansive ‘show and tell’ session.
Join members of the Photographic Group for a stimulating and friendly photo walk. Participants can choose to move around the Gardens as a group or head off with their camera individually.
The guest presenter will be Cormac Farrell. Cormac is an environmental scientist and beekeeper, best known as the Head Beekeeper for the Australian Parliament. He also manages several apiaries throughout Canberra, including training apiaries, organic orchards, and tall rooftop apiaries.
The next Cameras and Café Walk will be held on Saturday 18 April 2026. To be part of it you need to be at the bus stop at 8.40 am. Participants can choose to move around the Gardens as a group or head off with their camera individually. We reconvene for a chat at Pollen Cafe at around 10.30 am.
Stephen Hunter, the Photographic Group’s publicity officer, will talk about planning for overseas travel from a photographer’s perspective. He will illustrate his talk with stories and images from visits to Uzbekistan, Italy, India, Peru, Ecuador (Galapagos Islands and Amazon Basin), and the wilds of Patagonia. Stephen will also bring along examples of the photo books he has compiled on his travels as well as the gear he uses to transport photographic equipment.
The Photographic Group invites you to join us on a CAMERA AND CAFÉ WALK in the Gardens. Bring along your camera (the camera in your phone is fine!) for a guided walk led by experienced photographers, followed by morning tea and a chat at Pollen Café.
