The CVCC Field Trip Program is open to all club members and provides opportunities for individuals to develop photographic skills through hands-on, onsite photography at varied locations around Vancouver Island. Our Field trips are offered approximately once a week, usually on alternating Saturdays and Sundays. Participants will benefit from the discovery of new accessible areas, the fellowship of others, and most of all from the sharing of photographic knowledge. Many of their photos can be viewed on the CVCC PBase display area. Images displayed throughout these Field Trip Pages were all taken on location and are displayed courtesy of CVCC members. Thank You
This year, the club is organizing a "Mentor" program in conjunction with the Field Trips. This program is intended to pair a member who is interested in gaining experience with either photo technique or in better understanding their equipment with a member who is more experienced, and is willing to pass on thier knopwledge. Further details will be posted as soon as they are available.
Below is a list of upcoming Field Trips planned for each month, with links to more detailed information about each trip.
