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.
