Field Trips

Finding inspiration in Lockdown

COVID-19 is certainly ruling our lives at the moment. In Melbourne we are in Lockdown 2.0 with level 3 restrictions. As we could not meet as a group and opportunities to leave home are limited, we created a virtual field trip. The brief included a range of subjects to be photographed on the same day. This enabled us to think outside the square in a time where our photographic inspiration may be waning. With topics such as flowers, fences, not quite right and social distancing, we set about the challenge. Take a look at our results.

Melbourne Cricket Ground

Fifteen Caulfield Photographic Society Members met at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and were given an excellent personalised MCG Tour by a volunteer guide. He modified his standard talk so we could focus on our camera work but was happy to answer questions. The feedback was very positive with the participants finding it most interesting. There were no events on and the stadium was empty. I think it helped to understand the enormous size of this complex. It was also amazing to think that 70,000 were packed in there the night before and somehow the cleaners had been through the place before we arrived. A colossal task.
