Image of the Month
San Luis Obispo Camera Club

Field Trips/Workshops

Every month, we plan a day outing to a local point of interest or event. Once a year or so, we take an overnight trip to a destination rich in photographic opportunities. See the Calendar page for dates of scheduled trips.

Next Field Trip:

Photograph as many as you can! Turn in your Top 20.
Submit your images to Bob Mihelic at the February 2012 meeting or E-mail him at: rmihelic@charter.net

Your images will be presented at the March 2012 general meeting.

The Field Trip Show

At the January 2012 meeting, "Eastern Sierras" was presented by Malcolm Carlaw.

Members who attended the "Oceano Dunes" field trip can turn in up to 20 images at the January 2012 meeting and the slideshow will be presented at the February 2012 meeting by Peggy Jansson.

People attending a Club field trip may submit up to 20 images at the next meeting after the trip. Please submit digital images on a CD as jpeg files. Be sure to include your full name on your CD so we know who they belong to! Images should be in the sRGB color space and sized to at least 1024x768 pixels and no larger than 1800 pixels on the longest side of the image. Please use your name as the filename. An example of naming your files for field trip images submitted would be as follows: If your name is Mary Smith, then you would name your files: marysmith1.jpg, marysmith2.jpg, etc. For more assistance, see our tutorial on How to Prepare Digital Images for Projection.

A member puts the Field Trip show together and also selects an image from the show to be awarded "Image of the Month." The Field Trip Show is presented one month after the images are turned in. And the winning " Image of the Month" is featured on the Club Website (hint: look in the top left corner!).

Volunteer to put a Field Trip Show together! It's fun, and other Club members will help you.
