Field Trips

In 2024 "Get out of your comfort zone" was the theme to try new areas of photography. In 2025 we will expand on that with "Pushing your limits" - exploring deeper into new areas and examining different sides of a subject.

The different venues provide interesting opportunities to learn more about your camera and practice some of the skills learned in one of the club's classes. There are no prerequisites or camera requirements, whether it's your cellphone camera, your point-and-shoot camera, or your heavy DSLR. We encourage ALL skill levels to participate - novice or beginning photographers are especially welcome because they can ask questions and get advice from the more advanced photographers.

Keep an eye out for future e-mails explaining registration, carpooling options and some pop-up field trips that occur from time to time.

Below is the planned (tentative) Field Trip schedule for 2025. Details will be added and all are subject to change!
