WELCOME!

This is the home of the Newmarket Camera Club.   

Ok, let's keep this simple.  The Newmarket Camera Club was created in 2011 to serve the interests of photography enthusiasts in and around Newmarket Ontario.  Our members shoot with a variety of tools, our club meetings focus (pardon the pun) on interchangeable lens cameras. It is expected that anyone joining the club is actively pursuing photography as a hobby at minimum.

The club is operated by Ross Chevalier with the benevolent assistance of an amazing group of members in making the club successful.

Here's the deal.

  1. We meet monthly, fourth Tuesday of the month, in Hall #4 of the Newmarket Community Center at 200 Doug Duncan Drive in Newmarket. Meetings run from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.

  2. Every meeting ends with a member submission show. Each month, goals are assigned, members submit images and then we share the submissions at the meeting. Criticisms of work are not permitted and know-it-alls and other ne'er-do-wells are not welcome.

  3. Every meeting has at least one training subject, sometimes more. While we understand that every topic may not appeal to every member, we do try to cover topics that will be of interest, and we are open to suggestions.

  4. To become a member, you must register as a member on this site. You MUST use your real name. No Aliases. You must be a member to participate in discussions and submit images. Members treat each other with respect and never use another's images without prior written permission.

  5. The 2024 membership is $50 per person, per year. Membership fees are payable in CASH ONLY. You can pay at the first meeting that you attend.

  6. The Club does not do competitions of any kind, nor does it participate in any external organized competitions. Doing so is up to the individual if you wish, but the founder (me) finds competitions exclusionary, insulting and destructive.

Folks find belonging to be fun, informative and they meet other amazing people with photographic interests.  There are no politics, there's no executive committee, and we try very hard not to appear elitist.  All ages are welcome and encouraged. Our tutorials are focused primarily on Intermediate and Advanced level subjects in accordance with the skill levels of the membership.

Thanks very much for visiting.
