About Us

PHPC is a medium-sized club of around 40-50 members. Our members range in skill from enthusiastic novices to experienced photographers. The club has a few members who are judges.

We have a number of members who run the mentoring program for our newer members to learn the capabilities of their camera(s). We are large enough to support the growth of members but small enough to be a community, where all members can know each other. The club is here to challenge us to get the best from ourselves and our cameras

My Photo Club is back to normal

Downloading of images is now back to normal in My Photo Club, therefore cut off time will revert to the original midnight tonight.

If you have a problem bring your digital images on a memory stick on Monday night and your prints and we will adjust the scoring.

Monday nights competition Seasons

It appears that there is a problem with uploading images to the My Photo Club site where images disappear when uploaded, Colin from My Photo Club has been advised and is hopefully fixing the problem.

I have asked Don Dickens to keep the comp open until at least Sunday night, may be longer if necessary, worst case I will ask that those who are entering the digital category to send copies of their images to a person to be nominated.

I will keep you informed.

POST ABOUT OUR ICM COMPETITION NOW POSTED ON ICMPhotoMag Facebook

Christopher Weeks mentioned that he would publish some of our results within the ICMPhotoMag community. So it was quite exciting to find this post on their Facebook page this morning. Hopefully most of you have Facebook and will be able to access it (not sure if you can get access without Facebook, but give it a go).

Photo Rally to Balmain

Great day was had by those attending the Photo Rally to Balmain.

Apart from a mix up with which wharf to meet at, there are three wharf’s in the area, so much to see in this area and all agree that additional visits will be necessary. Great views of the city from the Balmain East wharf area and spectacular architecture and history in the area. Don’t forget that you have a month to visit and take photo’s for the Photo Rally and my Photo Club comps
