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:

November 14 SHINE Mural Festival in St Petersburg. Do a search to find details. Close to 200 murals exist with about 15 new ones being installed each year.
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
