Welcome to The Entrance Camera Club Incorporated.

Situated on the Central Coast of NSW, we are a group of enthusiastic photographers comprising people from all backgrounds, both retired & the young. Those who began with Film in the Darkroom or more recently in the age of Digital. Expert award winners with years of experience to beginners who have just purchased their first camera. A passion for photography is our common interest. The club is affiliated with The Federation of Camera Clubs (N.S.W) Inc.

Each Friday morning a group of club members have a photo walk followed by coffee. These outings are are good way to meet members and to discuss photo ideas, techniques and equipment.

~ ABOUT OUR CLUB ~

Established Nov 1959, The Monthly Competitions form the basis of our club. Competitions are held in Digital Image (non Graded) as well as Monochrome & Colour Prints in B Grade, A Grade & Advanced. The prints are displayed around the room prior to the start of the meeting. The critiquing and subsequent discussions with the judges and other members are all great ways to learn and share new photographic techniques which you can then try yourself the next time the opportunity arises. Assisting our new photographers whilst challenging our most experienced members.

Tuition in Photoshop Basics

Individual tuition is offered for Camera Club members in Photoshop basics, including resizing, basic tools, cutting out, masking, layers, blending et alia.

This is an official Camera Club initiative. It will be held at my home at Wyong at dates and times to be announced. It is envisaged that sessions of two members at a time will be accommodated so that individual attention can be afforded . Members may bring laptops but this is optional.

If any are interested please message or phone and leave your name and phone number .When numbers are finalised a schedule will be drawn up and dates of sessions advised. My number is 0434146406. Arthur Roy.
