SFNPCC Website
The SFNPCC is pleased to announce the launch of its fully featured website www.sfpncc.org. The site has extensive content including our new website homepage which allows visitors to quickly find information about the club; from information regarding membership to our calendar of events that list our upcoming field trips and meetings.
On our ‘Join SFNPCC’ page you can now pay via credit card for your membership and have everything done completely online. We also have a blog that will be used to post photos taken by members at field trips, press releases, information about upcoming lectures and field trips to list a few. We would like to also use the blog as a forum to help the club members with any photographic questions they might have since the blog allows for comments to be posted. This would give club members an opportunity to join the conversation and give there opinion. The club will also be using social media sharing applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more to interact with our members and to help us grow our community. If you know someone interested in joining the club, feel free to direct them to www.sfpncc.org.
Remember, invite a friend to the next meeting and help us grow this amazing new and unique camera club. If you are ready to sign up, you can do so at www.sfnpcc.org/join-sfnpcc.
We would like to thank our charter members who have already taken that first step by joining the SFPNCC. You are the foundation which will help all of us build an amazing club.
If you have any questions, please contact us at info@sfnpcc.org

New National Parks Themed Photography Club Forms
The South Florida National Parks Camera Club, Inc. (SFNPCC) is a newly formed camera club located in Homestead, Florida. Anyone interested in learning more about the camera club and joining are invited to attend our first membership meeting on October 8th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. This will be a great opportunity to meet like-minded people, advance your photographic skills and give back to the community. At the membership meeting we will be introducing the officers and discussing what SFNPCC will look like over the next six months. Feel free to come to the meeting with ideas of what direction you would like to see the camera club go in, with regards to field trips and monthly meetings.
Our goal is to learn and grow as photographers. This will be accomplished as members exchange ideas, share experiences and offer technical advice to one another. Outside experts will also be brought in to offer workshops and presentations.
The mission of SFNPCC is to help its members improve their photographic skills through education and the opportunity to educate others; and through the use of photography, support the National Parks and other local not for profit organizations.
“Educating Members, Sharing Knowledge, and Supporting Not for Profit Organizations Through Photography"
Benefits of Membership
From time to time the SFNPCC will bring in guest speakers to share a variety of experiences from travel photography, post processing techniques using light room, to lighting techniques. Some of the benefits of being a member include special access and fieldtrips to South Florida National Parks including but not limited to Biscayne Bay National Park, Everglades National Park, Big Cypress, and the Dry Tortugas. Also, as part of your membership benefits you will receive discounted/ free workshops, 15% discount at park gift shops with regular membership, opportunities to get published or to be a presentation speaker.
Photo Competitions
One of the main activities of our club will be photo competitions. These competitions will allow you to show your most prized work and get feedback from experienced judges. Even if you don’t feel ‘competitive’, it will be a great way to learn photography in a supportive environment.
Additional opportunities are available through higher-level competitions of the Photographic Society of America (PSA) and the Florida Camera Club Council (FCCC).
