Welcome to Hornsby Heights Camera Club!
Our club’s aim is to foster an interest in and the enjoyment of photography. We do this through competitions, workshops, lectures, outings and meetings with other camera clubs.
Our members are all keen amateur photographers. Their photographic interests may vary – landscape, portraiture, sporting, abstract, etc., but they all share a passion for capturing great images, improving their skills and techniques and sharing their knowledge and experiences with other members. Some examples of our members’ recent photos appear on this page.
Would you like to improve your photography? Our Club meets monthly in a friendly, informal atmosphere. If you’d like to join – or just see how we operate – come along to one of our meetings. Club application forms are available at our club evenings.
We meet at 7.30 pm on the 3rd and 5th Tuesday of each month.

Hi everyone,
We urgently need Club members to help run our exhibition at the Berowra Fauna Fair at the Berowra Community Centre on Sunday, 17 March.
This is a great opportunity for us to promote the Club and what we do – and maybe get some more members!
For details of the Fair see www.friendsberowravalley.org.au/berowra-fauna-fair-2024/.
What’s involved? Just presenting a friendly face and answering simple questions about the Club. Handouts with details about the club (meetings, activities, etc.) and membership forms will be available at our stand.
PLEASE – if you can staff the exhibit for say 1½ hours, contact me (bob.sendt@gmail.com) as soon as possible. We particularly need people between 11.00am and 2.30pm.

Old camera and Video camera – free to good home
Dear Members
I have been contacted by a gentleman with the following –
Hello,
I have a Kodak Retinette 1B 35mm camera plus leather case.
I wish to dispose of it. It seems a pity to throw it in the bin – it’s a nice camera – around 50 years old. Probably in working order.
Actually 2 cameras – Camera attached. Video recorder attached
I think the Reninette light meter may need attention.
Is this of any interest to any of your members?
Location: Wahroonga 2076
Regards
David Rees
If you are interested, please contact David on Mob 0416 193 560
Regards
Your Committee
