The masterpieces of local photographers are on show in Lancefield.

Macedon Ranges Photographic Society’s exhibition is open to the public at Mad Gallery and Cafe until September 7.

The eclectic display has been guided by the photographers’ selection and interests.

Retiree Allan Chellingworth has chosen to exhibit photos from his body of work that he describes as “a little different”.

Ayers Rock, a pelican, a post and rail fence and a raindrop-covered rosebud from his garden have made the cut.

The retired bus driver has been taking photos in his spare time for most of his life.

“Bus driving takes you to all sorts of places where you get lovely photos,” Mr Chellingworth said. “I had my own black and white darkroom in the earlier days when we did film.”

The Bullengarook resident has enjoyed having more time to take photos since he retired.

He said he particularly loved being a member of Macedon Ranges Photographic Society, where locals can indulge and share their interest in photography.

The exhibition is open from 10am-5pm daily at 19 High Street, Lancefield.
