LCC 2021 Upcoming Field Trips

It’s time we plan some fun outside photo shoots. We have done these before and had great success in the imagery, weather conditions and just plain fun!

September:        We will meet at the Roosevelt Bridge, in Stuart, South end on Friday, September 24 at 6:30 PM……..sunset is at 7:14.

                                There are picnic tables in the adjacent park for those who want to bring food, snack or drinks….also a lot of restaurants nearby.

If we are lucky a train will come by at sunset and provide really good imagery.

October:              Early morning……we will meet at Dubois Park, in Jupiter on Saturday, October 23 at 6:30 AM………sunrise is at 7:23.

                                There are picnic tables in the adjacent park for those who want to bring food, snack or drinks.

Sunrise on the Lighthouse is beautiful.

November:         We will meet at Bethesda-By-the-Sea, in Palm BeachSaturday November 13 or 20 at around 5:30 to photograph the sunset behind the skyline of West Palm Beach.

                                This will be discussed at the club meeting to decide which date the membership would prefer.

Future Events:   One thought is a return to Palm Beach around the Society of Four Arts to shoot the sculptures and walk the bike trail; also allowing sunset of WPB.

                                Also, we would like to have a shoot for ‘Light Painting’, needing a very dark venue; out west near Okeechobee of a real dark spooky cemetery.

                                For these and any other ideas we need your, the Members, input!

Scrub Jay Walk Jonathan Dickinson Park 8:30am on Friday March 29

Hello LCC members,

Join Bill LaFlamme‎ for a Scrub Jay Walk at Jonathan Dickinson Park 8:30am on Friday March 29.

After driving past the entrance, instead of turning right and driving to the rear of the park, turn left toward the campground. Before you reach the campground, there are parking spaces on your right hand side. You can’t miss it. That’s where we will start our walk.

Here are a few of Bill’s recent Scrub Jay photos
