Welcome

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.

// Action for CLUBS
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. We meet at 7.30pm on the 3rd and 5th Tuesday of each month at the Mount Colah Community Centre, Pierre Close, Mount Colah.

HHCC – Phil Ramsden

I’m very sad to inform everyone that Phil Ramsden passed away a few weeks ago. He had pancreatic cancer.


A very knowledgeable man and a wonderful judge who had a real fondness for our club. He told me a few months ago how much he loved the people of HHCC and sent his regards to all.

Regards,

Jonathan

HHCC – Illawarra Club Weekend

Hi Everyone,

The club weekend down to the Illawarra was enjoyed by all. The weather was a bit damp to say the least but that certainly didn’t dampen the spirits and everyone managed to get to a number of locations to take photos, including the Airshow.

We included a few photos below of the outing. Looking forward to more in 2022!
