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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE – New Start Time 7PM
Dear Members,
Please note that as of our next meeting Tuesday 21st May, club competition nights will commence at 7PM instead of 7:30pm. We ask that ALL print entries please be up on the display stands by 7:20pm as judging will commence at 7:30 sharp.
The committee feels this extra half hour will relieve much stress placed upon our wonderful helpers and those of us running the evening, who each month find the set up and pack up a mammoth task within the current time slot.
If you have any questions or concerns with the earlier start, please don’t hesitate to reach out by replying to this email.
PLEASE NOTE – Workshops and ZOOM presentations will stay at the old time of 7:30pm.

Berowra Woodchop & weekend away
Dear Members,
As you know, we’re gearing up for some exciting events in the coming months, including our participation in the Berowra Woodchop festival on Sunday, August 25th. Last year’s outing was a blast, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase our club and connect with the wider community.
However, a bit of a scheduling conflict has come to light. The Woodchop falls on the same weekend as our previously planned photography getaway to Portland (August 23rd-25th).
Here’s where we need your input! Have any of you amazing early birds already booked accommodation for the Portland trip?
If not, or if your bookings are flexible, the committee would like to propose moving the weekend away to August 9th-11th. This would allow us to participate in both the Woodchop and enjoy our Portland adventure without any overlap.
Please let Jakki know by Monday, April 15th, if this change in the Portland trip date would cause any problems for you. You can reach Jakki at jakjakjakki@gmail.com
Regards,
Your Committee
