Membership in the K-W Highland Glen Camera Club is not restricted. However, a typical member has an interest in photography at some level, whether that interest be in the art of photography or in the craft of making images. The current membership utilize a wide spectrum of tools, from 40-year old twin-lens reflex cameras to point-and-shoots to phones to instant film cameras to the latest in digital SLR and mirrorless technology.
If you are interested in joining the club, you are welcome to come and try out a meeting. You may show up in person or you may join us virtually on Zoom.
