“WE LEARN BY SHARING AND COMPETING
IN A SUPPORTIVE SOCIAL GROUP”

Established in 1958, the Eastern Suburbs Camera Club is one of Adelaide’s most vibrant and respected camera clubs catering for the novice through to experienced, passionate photographers. Members have varying levels of achievement in photography including seven who are accredited SAPF judges.

To gain an understanding of what who we are, check the Galleries where you can see examples of members’ photography. We meet twice monthly, on the first and third Tuesdays at Gartrell Church, corner of Alexandra Avenue and Prescott Terrace, Rose Park. [Map] For more detailed information about the operation of the club, download the pdf file “Members Guide” noting the comments in the News section on the RHS.

Above all we believe that photography is an activity best enjoyed in the genial company of those who share a common interest. We promote that with a variety of social events. Principal among those is our week-end away when we spend a long weekend in a photogenic location. We also have photo shoots in the Adelaide area. Our premier event is the annual exhibition held in December each year.

Whilst visitors are always welcome at our meetings, we regret to advise that our membership reached capacity at the end of 2024. Nevertheless, we would love to see you, so come along, introduce yourself, and check us out. If you decide you would like to join our club, we are keeping a waiting list for 2025 membership. If vacancies arise in April 2025 as a result of any non-renewals by existing members, we will offer spots from the waiting list in the order in which application was made.

FIRST APRIL COMPETITION - 2025

Tuesday, 1st April, was our first competition meeting for April 2025. A single category of Digital Mono was judged for A and B Grades by Chris Schultz. Chris was very helpful in his comments on all the prints and his scores were well received. We really appreciated his feedback which is always given generously and in a way that encourages members to improve our skills, particularly those of us new to competition photography.

Photography Competition Software

We are now using the Visual Pursuits photo competition software for both our yearly calendar and the club competitions. Set subject definitions can be found on the Visual Pursuits software housed in the image upload page for the competition. You need to be logged in to the ESCC Visual Pursuits site to access them.

The link to the software can be found here: Eastern Suburbs Camera Club. The link is also published under our calendar at the top menu.

Visual Pursuits provides its own website, which will take a bit of exploring.

To get up and running you will need to log in. Accounts for all but four members have been created, but you will need to go to the login page: Eastern Suburbs Camera Club - Login (visualpursuits-au.com) and enter your password and then click the Reset Password button halfway down the page and follow the prompts and a new password will be sent to you to login. Once you have a password you will then be able to enter the club website. (Note the video link “Creating and Managing Your User Account” – this provides useful information about how you can maintain your account within the club website).

Once you have logged in, you can upload images via the competition menu, third button down is “Submit Images to a Competition”. Note again the Video button at the top if you need more information at the top.

Check out the other menu items from the drop down menus at your leisure.

This should be enough to get everyone started, but if you have difficulties, email me at the above address and when I am in front of a computer, I will give you a ring

Need to add to the clubs web page?

All members are encouraged to submit content for these web pages, be it your own gallery or provide content for the clubs activities pages.

Please submit content to the web administrator via email at:

esccweb@gmail.com

Note monthly competition winners are automatically included in the winners galleries

Confused about the letters after some member’s names?

The “letters after your name” indicating photographic achievements are called Photographic Honours, unlike an academic degree or an honour such the Order of Australia, where the more general term Post-nominal is used. Photographic Honours are earned by entering national and/or international competitions. There is a detailed description on the Membership page.
