Each month, the Club typically 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, 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.
Field trips are typically scheduled on a Saturday, Sunday, or Monday holiday during the club season, and sometimes during the summer as well. Most trips are to
sites in and around the Washington DC area, although we occasionally visit locations in Baltimore, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Please check
our Cable Release newsletter, our website (https://www.ssccphotography.org) , sign up for Meetup announcements, or contact the trip leader. Registration is by meet-up. We are always looking for volunteers to lead trips, and ideas for fun places to photograph.
Masks are optional.
