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.

// Action for CLUBS
~ 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.

Remembering John William Newton MAPS~SSAPS~EFIAP

23 . 01 . 1944 ~ 27 . 01 . 2021

John Newton joined The Entrance Camera Club on February 11th 2005. John’s association with The Entrance began as a judge back in November 2003 and again in August 2004. During his nearly 16 years as an active member, John shared with us his love of Photography, through the variety of his subjects entered in the monthly competitions, his knowledge and his friendship. As a friend, mentor, role model or as just plain John, there was always a smile & time for a chat. Always ready to help out if he could, serving as our FCC Delegate since 2011. His wife Carol, a past member of our Club wrote “We have looked around with “photographers eyes” and seen what many people miss and have had our lives enriched and our minds opened to the wonders and beauty around us.”

A lovely way to remember John.

Cheers Mate !
