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.

Photo Rally Presentation

G’day all,

Unfortunately, Tuesday night’s presentation will be on Zoom and not at the hall. While free publicity is great, having our club named by the NSW Chief Medical Officer might not work in our favour. We also have members who are in lockdown as they work or have been to certain areas of Sydney.

I will send out the link on Monday night.

For this to happen, you need a Zoom account as the link will not work without it. Please set this up beforehand.

If you already have an account but you haven’t used it for a while, log in up to 10 minutes before the meeting to download updates. I got caught by this recently.

After the photo rally judging there will be a presentation by John Sidebotham.

Don’t forget coming up we have the astro photography night on the 17th July. We have have had to change the date. The location is most likely to be Palm Beach/Barranjoey and we have looked at a tide chart this time.

Hope to see you on Tuesday night,

Tom.
