The Kiama Shellharbour Camera Club turns 60 this year.

Club president Linda Fury says that milestone has been reached simply because of the members' passion for photography.

The group is very casual and easy-going with meetings held via Zoom on Wednesdays twice a month.

The first meeting is typically a presentation by a guest photographer or speaker; recently local wildlife photographer John Wiseman spoke to the group about his work. The second meeting is usually an evaluation night during which members can enter their photos to judges who critique and provide feedback on their work.

There’s a social activity each month too, Linda says.

“On the first Sunday of the month, we usually go for breakfast somewhere and organise a photography shoot. Recently we have been down to Kiama Harbour, up to Robertson and later in the year we are going to Cockatoo Island in Sydney.”

There are workshops, exhibitions and competitions as well.

Joining a camera club is a great way for amateur photographers to develop their shooting and photo-editing skills, Linda says. She is a very experienced photographer who enters national and international competitions and enjoys teaching and helping people to learn about photography.

The club always welcomes new members and there is no commitment to attend every week.
