Fieldtrips

Whether you are a novice or seasoned photographer, the LCC Field Trips provide an excellent way to practice your skills and mingle with other members to share and learn from one another and to even capture that one-in-a-lifetime photo.

The following is a snapshot of the many field trips that have taken place over the past year. In addition, some upcoming Field Trips have also been highlighted to give members a taste of what they can look forward to in the coming months. And don't forget to take a look at the Field Trips Gallery available via the Forum (members only) to see the various photos taken on field trips past.

Don't hesitate to come see us during Club meetings if you have any questions.
Hoping to see you on our next trip!
