About the MCC
The Monmouth Camera Club was founded in 1979.
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 club belongs to the New Jersey Federation of Camera Clubs and currently has about 120 members.
Meetings take place three times a month on Thursdays, from September through June at 7:00 PM. Most months meetings are in person or on Zoom. December through March meetings are on Zoom only.
One meeting features a presentation by speakers who are highly accomplished photographers or professionals from outside the club. Once a month there is a judged competition of members’ photographs (On Zoom only.) And one meeting is more hands on.
The meetings also provide members an opportunity to receive help on photographic questions or on buying and selling photographic equipment.
Competitions are held for color and black-and-white digital images. By separating beginning, advanced, salon and master 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.
