Monmouth
Camera Club
Our
club provides a forum and gathering place for amateur and professional
photographers, at all levels of accomplishment. It allows members to
share their experiences, to increase their photographic knowledge, to
obtain new stimulation for their photographic activities, and to make
new friends.
The Monmouth Camera Club was founded in 1979 and meets in Colts
Neck at
the Reformed Church on Route 537. Its meetings take place on the second
and fourth Thursday of every month, from September through early June
at 7:30 PM.
The club belongs to the New Jersey Federation of Camera Clubs and
currently has about 75 members.
The meetings provide a balance between lectures, discussions,
competitions and field trips.
Lectures and discussions span a wide range of topics. Most speakers are
highly accomplished photographers or are professionals from outside the
club. (A list of previous lecture topics can be found on the "Get
Involved" page.) Increasing interest in Digital Photography and Digital
Enhancement of images is reflected in both the lecture topics and the
contests.
The meetings also provide members an opportunity to receive help on
photographic questions or on buying and selling photographic equipment.
They also inform about other photographic events outside the club.
Competitions are held for color slides, color prints, black-and-white
prints and digitally enhanced prints. By separating beginning, advanced
and salon photographers, the contests allow members to compare their
work and compete with others at their own level of accomplishment. A
major objective in the competitions is to receive constructive
critiques from the judge.
Three times a year, the club also holds a "Beginners' Small Print
Critique", where new members and guests can obtain feedback on their
photographs before they are ready to participate in the more formal
competitions.
