Highland Glen Camera Club

About:

Since its inception in the late 1960's the Highland Glen Camera Club has seen many changes. The name of the club has been changed at least once and its location three times. The name Highland Glen was instituted when the club held its meetings in the basements of the Highland Baptist church and Glen Acres Baptist church, on alternating nights. For many years the club held its meetings at the Albert McCormick Community Centre. The club moved to the Waterloo Community Arts Centre in 2006. The membership base has fluctuated a great deal since its humble beginnings - the club was begun by a group of six photographers. The current membership now sits at around 50 to 70. The club is governed by a Board of Directors, elected annually by the membership, under the club's Constitution. The photographic interests of the club members is quite diverse, with favorite subjects including landscape, portraiture, nature, travel, and fine art topics. Moreover, club members utilize a wide range of equipment, from older twin-lens reflex cameras to the latest in digital technology. For competitions or non-competitive events all three media (digital images, slides, or prints) are accepted and judged without bias.
