John Oldham Park & Pridefest Fairday

Getting There by Foot or Bicycle
• By Bicycle: The park is easily accessible via the shared principal shared paths running along the Riverside Trail and Mitchell Freeway cycling network, connecting seamlessly into the park’s pathways.
• By Foot: You can walk from the Perth CBD or Elizabeth Quay via the pedestrian pathways along Mounts Bay Road, or descend into the park via the stairway and ramp connections leading down from Kings Park.

All skill levels and cameras (from smartphones to DSLRs) are welcome!

Heading to Pridefest Fairday
Following the morning session, everyone is warmly invited to head over from noon to Moort-ak Waadiny / Wellington Square for the vibrant Pridefest Fairday.
• Travel Tip: To get there easily from the city, you can hop on the free Transperth CAT bus network (specifically the Red or Yellow CAT service, which stops near Wellington Square).

It’s the perfect opportunity to grab some lunch, soak in the festive atmosphere, and practice your street and event photography surrounded by the community.

What to bring:
– Your camera, SD card, and charged battery (of course).
– Your own tripod or monopod (you could also borrow one from another member)
– If you have interchangeable lenses, consider bringing a prime, a wide-angle and a zoom lens.
– Macro lenses can be fun too.
– Drinking water (reusable container).
Although James Oldham Park is well shaded, if you’re coming along to Pridefest Fairday bring a hat and sunscreen.

Shutterpups stages regular themed shoots around the Perth metro and outer metro regions. Once a year we also plan a (long) weekend event further afield, such as at a WAPF photography conference. The main aims of our events is to grow your skills by socialising and interact with other photographers. No matter your experience or gear, there is always something new to learn. There are many different types of events, so there is sure to be one that suits your interest: fast-paced sports; gentle landscapes; macros; or seeing the world in monochrome – we try to make the events as varied as possible.

• Being mentally healthy is when each of us are able to realise our own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and are able to contribute to our community.
• Being mentally healthy is essential for overall wellbeing. Good mental health is more than just the absence of mental illness. It’s about being able to deal with life’s challenges, maintain relationships, contribute to the community, and take pleasure and satisfaction from life.
• Prioritise your mental health today. The good news is there are lots of things we can all do to promote good mental health and take control of our mental wellbeing.
• Engaging in activities that keep us mentally healthy, is the most effective way to improve individual and community mental health and wellbeing.
