Today was another Social Snappers outing and we went to Healesville Sanctuary. It is a beautiful place, very different to the Melbourne Zoo and a bit more casual. We had a great time and wandered around the place, though we did stop to watch the Bird of Prey show. It was fantastic and I thought…
There has been a change to the last Social Snapper Photography Excursion in the last week for both Thursday and Sunday. Since the Melbourne Flower and Garden Show will be on at that time, it has been decided that we should go there and see what we can find at the show. Tickets are available…
All the excursions for term 1 are now up and the information you need to know if you are planning on joining us. The Thursday excursions are on during the day so if you have school children you can still do them. We are going to lots of new places and visiting some ones I’ve…
The perfect present for someone who loves photography, but you don’t know what to get for them. Social Snappers Photography Excursions for Women is a great way to get out to take photos and meet other people who also like to take photos. Experience is not important, Leanne Cole has enough experience to help…
We are almost at the end of the year and there is only one excursion left for each of the days. We are heading back into the city to take photos of the Christmas celebrations in the city. It will be a great way to finish the year. I had thought we would start with…
This last week was another Social Snappers Excursion and we went to Eildon with a stop at Steavenson’s Falls in Marysville on the way. While I was taking photos with my main camera I also wanted to play around with my phone, I just got a new one. The day before we went I got…
In the last week there have been two Social Snappers Events, we went on a walk along Collins Street in the Melbourne CBD, and then we went to the Abbotsford Convent. Both days were fantastic, and the weather was great. Collins Street Our trip along Collins Street started by getting off the train at Parliament…
On a recent trip to the Royal Botanical Gardens for Social Snappers we were taking lots of photos of flowers. DSLR cameras are good for lots of things, but unless you have a macro lens, they aren’t good for photographing flowers, you just can’t get close enough. In places like this often your compact or phone…
Last Sunday was another photography excursion for the Social Snappers, this time we went to Heide and Banksia Park. The weather was perfect for it, and the places were busy with people enjoying the sun and the spring time. We wandered around all over the place taking photos of the sculptures in the garden of…
I have always loved photography as a hobby, but these days it seemed limited to pictures of my family and friends at birthdays and get togethers. Social Snappers has given me the opportunity to set the time aside and focus on the creative side of photography (both behind the camera and editing on the computer, after the…
I was lucky enough to go out with Leanne to the waterfalls up in King Lake – we actually only managed to get to Mason Falls because of time constraints, but that just means there is a reason to go back! My DSLR was in getting a sensor clean, so I only had my iPhone…

I love taking photos, looking at other people’s photos and talking about photos. So when the opportunity came to go out with Leanne Cole (website and blog)and the Social Snappers to take photos of the city at night, I jumped at the chance. I’m quite a shy homebody, so…
Hi Leanne, Thank you for another great Social Snappers day at the Fitzroy Gardens. I have enclosed some of the shots that I took, I was using a Lumix point and shoot which was ideal for the weather that day as it rained quite a bit. Warm regardsTerrie
Yesterday I had a unplanned Social Snappers trip into Fitzroy Gardens. The plan was to take photos around the Treasury Gardens and then head over to the Fitzroy Gardens. Our plans had to be changed because it started raining so we headed to the conservatory which was a sea of colour, lots and lots of blooming…
There are lots of good reasons to do Social Snappers, we aren’t competitive and I have always welcomed people who just want to do photography. There are no competitions, and we don’t show our work to one another unless someone wants to see something. With Social Snappers, I’ve tried to create environments where people…
