It's a great opportunity to meet other analogue aficionados and to get their perspective on the perfect shot, as well as to learn more about shooting with film if you've new to the world of analogue photography. It's also just a good excuse to go out and shoot some of Melbourne's spectacular surrounds – not that an excuse is needed! And, new friends are sure to be made – you might even stumble across a new photo buddy.

Improve your photography and meet other keen photographers
Film has risen in popularity in recent years and there is a good reason why – it's fun, creative and epitomises free expression. There is something about waiting to find out what you've captured and not being able to delete and retake a shot that makes it more exciting. The cameras themselves are beautiful and the captures' colours are bright, with light effects and imperfections recreating the atmosphere of the exact moment.
