Each month, the Club organizes at least one field trip for members to shoot together. This is a great opportunity to learn from other members and shake yourself out of a photographic rut. This is a no-pressure opportunity to experiment with your photography and enjoy the company of fellow club members. When possible, field trips end with a group lunch, so make sure to find out where the group is headed though the Cable Release or Meetup, or the trip leader.
The planned 2019-2020 field trips include the Maryland Renaissance Festival, Rockville Antique and Classic Car Show, Covered Bridges of Frederick County, Maple Lawn Farms, Street Photography, National Zoo Lights, Dickerson Whitewater Course, Summit Point WV Racing, Baltimore Railroad Museum, Guinness Brewery in Baltimore County, Antique Center in Savage Mill, and Annapolis Harbor. Other ideas are in the mix as well. Stay tuned! (the Cable Release, email blasts, and Meetup).

Phil Boyer is the Field Trip Coordinator, but other club members can organize and lead the trips as well. We are always looking for volunteers to lead trips, and ideas for fun places to photograph.
