Some background

Benoni Camera Club is a non–profit club catering primarily to amateur photographers.

The club is open to anyone interested in the art and science of photography, regardless of background or profession.

Its origins lie in the English Electric Photographic Society, which voted to open membership to the public on March 1, 1956.

In the category of landscapes and scapes. Heaven on Earth by Stephen Kangisser.

In January 1958, the club merged with the Burmco and Delfos clubs and absorbed the memberships of the Boksburg Camera Club, which closed in November 1957. Finally, at the AGM on March 20, 1958, the members voted to rename the club the Benoni Camera Club.

In the early days, there were few judges available on the East Rand, and the club affiliated with the Johannesburg Photographic Society, which guided the club’s development.
