Hopefully this will inspire many of us to get outside, look around, get a little walking in, enjoy the world around us take photos and share with all the fantastic photographers in the SunCoast Camera Club…. Bryan, our field trip organizer, works very hard to think of new and very interesting places that we can get out to and enjoy. Most times these are FREE places to venture out to sometimes there is a nominal fee but whichever they are worth going to, photographing, and sharing your ideas and settings you use.
Please send 6 images in JPEG format. 1 image will be used for your introduction.
Get out there and GET SNAPPING in 2026!
You may send your images to Rob at any point during the month. Please be kind and get them to him prior to the very end of the month. This allows him time to edit them into his slide presentation.
Send images to Rob Hamilton for the monthly slide show at:

MARCH 2026 Field Trips
If you cannot attend on the chosen date, go on your own day at the time you prefer. Email up to 6 photos to Rob Hamilton rfh3358@gmail.com for the slide show. Ask anyone if you need assistance to achieve this task. Attending field trips will assist you to improve your photography if you attend and ask questions to learn something or try something different. Ask someone what settings they are using.
Each member can show their photographs in the slide show. Attend a field trip or make one up of your own creation. Take photos, send up to 6 on each adventure to Rob. Show your photos. They do not need to be worked via PhotoShop. They do not need to be competition quality photos. Have some enjoyment and do not leave your photos sitting on a memory card.

Clyde Butcher’s Venice Gallery & Studio is nearby at 237 Warfield Ave. www.clydebutcher.com Patches Restaurant is worthy at 501 Venice Ave. Centennial Park 300 W. Venice Ave. should be visited for a stroll and the 1926 San Marco Hotel architecture is there for you to photograph. This long building was the former Kentucky Military Institute. The address is 238 Tampa Ave. W. and a small museum is located here.
​
Now through March 19 at Bishop Museum of Science and Nature, Clyde Butcher will have his newest photography displayed. Free admission can happen under the Bank of America (Merrill) Museums On Us program. Ask Bryan about this.
Give YOUR field trip suggestions to Bryan or better yet, lead us on a field trip. I try to keep them close to home and free. Evidence shows this to be the best way to gain attendance. A few members have the desire to drive more than 10 miles and perhaps pay an admission fee.
Cheers, Bryan
