2026 - February Training Night - "My photos are shit and I dont know why I bother"
​​
Join us on Tuesday, 10th February from 7-9 pm at Club Narooma for an enlightening session with our special guest - Zoom presentation from Glynn Lavender.
Glynn Lavender is the owner of Creative Photo Workshops, a Melbourne-based business delivering hands-on photography workshops across Australia and selected overseas destinations.
With a passion for travel photography and portraiture, Glynn specialises in helping photographers understand lighting, composition, and how to truly capture the moment. Through his lens, he documents the raw beauty of natural landscapes, people and diverse wildlife, always aiming to tell authentic visual stories.
Glynn is one of the trainers at Bright Festival of Photography, where he’s known for his practical, down-to-earth teachings. His ability to explain complex concepts in simple, relatable ways makes him a favourite among photographers.
Great images are everywhere - We don’t need fancy locations, supermodels or expensive gear to capture great portraits.
We just need to understand how to get the most out of the situations we are in. – Glynn Lavender

2026 April - This Month we will split members into groups to photograph the Beauty in our Area
Moruya to Bermagui
​​​
This month, members will be split into small groups to photograph the beauty of our local region, from Moruya to Bermagui.
You’ll be teamed up with 3–4 other members and assigned a specific area to explore and photograph.
​
Once groups are allocated, please connect with your teammates — you’ll have three weeks to get out and capture images from your assigned location.
​
There will be no judging night this month. Instead, each team will nominate one person to collate your images onto a memory stick for a relaxed show-and-tell session, where you’ll share your favourite images and talk about the highlights of your challenge.
Important note: We intend to use selected images in the club’s 2027 fundraising calendar. If you do not wish for your images to be included, please let us know by the end of the year.
​
We’re looking forward to seeing how each group interprets their area — enjoy getting out, exploring, and photographing together!
