Specific Interest Groups are designed for Nevada Camera Club members to share knowledge and learning opportunities within specific photographic disciplines. Group members meet to share technical knowledge, evaluate the images of their peers and schedule future projects and field trips. Each group's scheduled events are communicated to the general membership through the NCC monthly newsletter to allow all interested members to participate. The primary goal of Specific Interest Groups is to create a cooperative atmosphere of inspiration, motivation and a higher level of learning which is geared to the needs of individual members. Activation of each Specific Interest Group is dependent upon having a number of participating members and the leadership of a chairperson.
Nevada Camera Club Specific Interest Group participation is restricted to NCC members. Scheduled Specific Interest Group dates are announced in the NCC monthly newsletter and also listed in the NCC Annual Calendar which is located in the Nevada Camera Club web site Members Only section. Information about becoming an NCC member is available on the Nevada Camera Club web site Join NCC page.
Audio-Visual Presentations
The Audio-Visual Presentations Group utilize a series of images to communicate a single purpose or tell a story through the use of single or multiple projection techniques. The presentations may be visuals to support a lecture or a complete, stand-alone program with recorded music and narration.

The Beginning Photography Group is designed to meet the needs of members who require general basics in photography. It also provides orientation for new members and communicates goals and procedures for Nevada Camera Club monthly competitions.
Creative Photography
Members of the Creative Photography Group work with methods which alter the appearance of the image so that it is substantially different from the way it would appear to the human eye prior to being photographed. Some of the methods include multiple exposures, montages, high contrast derivations, Sabattier, grain reticulation, zoom and camera movement exposures, adding color to black and white images and adding textures and patterns.
Digital Imaging
Members of the Digital Imaging Group study and practice the use of digital imaging techniques as a tool in their photographic process to produce prints, slides or electronic images.
