Welcome!
The Viewfinders Camera Club, in Hermitage, PA, is an excellent place to meet others who share the joy of photography.
Bi-weekly photography contests, followed by a Skills Improvement Segment and occasional field trips, help to expand our vision as photographers by sharing our work, learning new techniques, and testing and practicing our skills.
All skill levels of photographers are welcome! Please join us as our guest. Feel free to bring a photo, for a friendly and thoughtful critique.
Enjoy the slide show of our 2024-2025 Year End Winners!
