The Mid Argyll Camera Club is a friendly club of people interested in all aspects of photography. We cover 25 miles north and south of Lochgilphead in Argyll & Bute, Scotland. We welcome visitors and beginners to photography.
We mainly enjoy digital photography - using cameras, phones & tablets, computers and inkjet printers. We are mostly amateur photographers, some very experienced and others just starting. Members range from school age to long retired, 50% male and female.
Meetings are normally held on Wednesdays, between September and March, at 7.30pm to 9.30pm in Lochgilphead - see location. If you are not sure about joining, come to a few meetings to see what it's like, or contact us with our web form below.
You can see our current programme of events, and the previous year's events . We also have outdoor and online meetings - members are contacted directly about plans on Facebook and by email or phone.
Most events aim to include and help beginners. We have talks, photo shows, demonstrations, hands-on practical workshops (with cameras or with laptops), activities with other groups, projects and competitions.
About 2/3 of members (some as beginners) often enter digital images or prints in club competitions. Some of the competitions need photos of particular subjects, eg Animals, Arches, Still life and Reflections. See the winning images in our most recent competition.
Facebook users can see MACC on Facebook and members can join our private MACC group.
MACC is affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB)and to the Federation International de L'Art Photographique (FIAP) through the Scottish Photographic Federation (SPF), and the club takes part in their activities. Individual members also submit prints and digital images to competitions and exhibitions run by other organisations under the patronage of British Photographic Exhibition (BPE) and the FIAP, and some seek their awards and distinctions.

Indoor meetings are normally on Wednesdays from 7.30 to 9.30pm, with a refreshment break. Most are in the Lochgilphead Snowdrop/MS Centre, but may be elsewhere, and/or online with Zoom.
We don't all actively participate every evening. But if you want to learn new skills hands-on, or hear comments on your photos (which should be helpful and constructive), the list below suggests what to bring if you can.
We sometimes have outdoor and online meetings - because these are sometimes changed at short notice members are contacted directly about plans by email or phone, and on Facebook. Our programme of events is usually on this page, updated often during the session.
