About Us

 

Camera Club is aimed at everyone with an interest in photography, be that the occasional family photograph or travelling to the ends of the earth in search of the ultimate shot.

From amateurs to professionals, Camera Club offers all an opportunity to view, download and share the wonders of captured light!

How The Site Is Organised

A new image is added to the website every day, and the latest pic is always visible on the Home page.

The images that you see on this website are the best images from our photo competitions.

Competitions

We run 2 different types of competitions: a monthly competition and a theme competition.

Our monthly competition has no theme, so any subject matter can be submitted. The winning pic for the month appears on our website on the first day of the following month. The runners-up are displayed each day for the remainder of the month.

We also run a theme competition that runs over 2 months. Our current theme is "Ball Sports". The top 3 pics from our theme competition are displayed on our website.

Camera Club History

Camera Club was started in 2001 by David Knox-Whitehead and Sean Stanton, with initial help from several members of the 'Maritzburg Camera Club who kindly allowed their excellent pics to be displayed on our website.

The website grew from strength to strength, and by the end of 2005 our newsletter was going out to over 700 photography enthusiasts.

Mid 2006 saw substantial changes to the look, feel and functionality of the Camera Club website. Out went the bi-weekly image library updates and the proprietary image viewing software. In came the daily photo updates and a new-look website.

The reasons for the changes were many and varied, but the aim of the website remains the same: to encourage South African photographers to view, download and share the wonders of captured light!

November 2007 saw some refreshing changes to the design of the Camera Club website. The functionality of the site remained the same. Around the same time we launched our first desktop print calendar, available for order from our website.

In November 2008 we introduced our theme competition along with an updated look & feel for the website.
