Welcome to Seven Ponds Nature Center Photography Club
Mission Statement
The Seven Ponds Camera Club, formed in 2009, was created to promote the advancement of photography as an art. The purpose of the club is to bring together persons of like mind who are dedicated to the advancement of their skills by association with other members, through the study of the work of others and through spirited and friendly competition. The club exists to offer opportunities for all to share knowledge within the club and in the community, through exhibitions and programs that excite interest in the knowledge and practice of all branches of photography.

The annual Detroit Digital International Salon of Photography (DDISP) is now open and accepting images. Please support this effort by the Greater Detroit Camera Club Council. The income derived from this effort maintains the Council and its programs.
The deadline for entries is Monday, June 4, 2018.In an effort to assist many members who may not be familiar with competing in PSA International Salons and Exhibitions I have prepared a short video tutorial for your information.
