What we’re about
Sydney Street Photographers aim to promote street photography and cultural engagement through practice and discussion.
This group is all about engaging intimately with the world around you in an attempt to capture the unfamiliar in the familiar, to find the unseen in the mundane.
It's about getting out onto the streets with equally passionate people and creating an invaluable social network, to improve your photography skills, without possibly feeling awkward or intimidated by the environment/ subjects.
If you like the sound of street photography then join up, it's going to be rewarding, and best of all, fun walking the streets of Sydney with camera in hand, and enjoying a nice coffee after an event to ask those question you have always wanted to ask a fellow photographer.
Assistant Organisers can organise Meetups and members can suggest Meetups that will occur if sufficient members would like to attend. Infrequently there is a clash of events and members have a choice of which event to attend. SSP prefer to provide a variety of opportunities to shoot rather than limit the choice to the first available event.

Would you like to try a different photographic challenge?
There is a spot on the Central Coast that warm water enters Lake Macquarie on the Western side. The warm water attracts the fish and in turn a variety of bird life feeds on the fish. The Food Chain at work.
You might see Ospreys, Sea Eagles, Kookaburras, Rosellas, Terns, Pelicans and the humble Sea Gull.
I would recommend a mirrorless or DSLR camera with telephoto lenses. The longer the better and of course a wide-angle lens for landscapes.
I recommend a hat, sturdy shoes or boots (2 pairs), sunscreen and all participants accept the risks associated with being near the water and engaging in a photographic activity. Afterwards we may have lunch at The Yard Brewery & Smokehouse at Morisett.
The drive is around 70 minutes North of Hornsby, and you need to make your own arrangements for transport. From Hornsby drive up the freeway past the Hawkesbury River bridge, continue straight ahead {CSA) past the Wyong turnoff till you reach the Morisset turnoff (left side of motorway). Take the right hand turn at the T intersection (Mandalong Road), travel to Dora Creek and meet at the Myuna Bay rest centre on the right hand side of the road.
My number is 0425382248 if you need to contact me.
