About Us!

The Morgan Hill Photography Club, founded April 2008, is located in Santa Clara County, California. The club promotes the art of photography and strives to improve the photographic abilities of its members through special interest groups ("focus groups"), educational programs, group critiques, photographic field trips ("shootouts"), and other activities.

Regardless of your experience level you are bound to meet someone who enjoys creating photographs; sharing shooting methods; discussing locations; talking about exposure, depth of field, white balance, post-processing, etc. − and all in one place.

To see if club membership might be right for you, we recommend you attend one of our General Meetings so you can "test drive" the club before you decide to join.

The April meeting of the Morgan Hill Photography Club marked our fourth anniversary. Founded at an ice cream and coffee counter in a local book store, the inaugural meeting consisted of just 21 people. The club grew swiftly, quickly outgrowing our initial venue by the second meeting. Sixteen of the charter members are still members today. Currently the club consists of over 140 members some of whom are pictured above.

Each month club members are encouraged to produce images based upon a specific photo assignment or Theme. Members then share their photos on flickr® where they can be seen and commented upon by others. The Monthly Photo Theme images are viewable by the general public but non-members cannot post images or leave comments.
