Field Trip Policy Reminder
With the new season upon us, we want to encourage members to take advantage of the field trips that are researched and made available during the course of the season. These provide excellent opportunities to interact with your fellow photographers and to make some top caliber images. We hope that the "old hands" will take an active part in mentoring newer workers in the photographic process. We also need to remind all members that while our Field Trip Leaders and other volunteers identify locations for photography and attempt to help with logistics, neither they nor the Greater Lynn Photographic Association has any control over travel to or from a location or the conditions encountered at it. All participation in field trip activities is voluntary on the part of the member and any minor member they may bring. Neither GLPA nor the Field Trip Leaders or volunteers assume any
liability for any accidents or other situations which may occur as a result of a member's participation in a field trip.
Field Trips and Evening Exposure
Upcoming Field Trips
Various field trips are scheduled throughout the year to places in New England. Sign-ups are necessary to get an idea of how many are attending. Carpooling is generally available which is a great way to get to know other members of the club and to discuss photographic ideas and techniques while travelling to the venue. Sign ups are easy: at the club or thru the online form listed in the left column.
Field Trip News and General Information
September 01, 2020
We would like to thank member Tomas Sanchez for stepping up and agreeing to be the Field Trip Chairman for GLPA! Thank you Tom! Volunteers from our membership have been leading our trips in the past couple of years. Now we have someone who is actually the trip coordinator and he will lead a few trips throughout the year also.Members of the club may still lead a trip or two during the year. It doesn't have to be anyplace fancy – just someplace you enjoyed shooting or an event you know is happening. If you are interested in leading a trip, e-mail Tom sanchezte@verizon.net and discuss your ideas.
Normally trips would be listed chronologically on the page and we would add the info to the listing as the time got nearer to the trip. You would then look below for specific information on any of the trips as it is posted. Other trip information would be posted as we had volunteers to lead them.
Field trips are a way for you to meet your fellow member photo enthusiasts in the club. Trips range from day time all day trips to one to two hour sunset trips. They are usually followed by a late breakfast, lunch or dinner stop with the group depending on the time of the trip. Members meet at the camera club to car pool, as it's more fun to ride with a few other club members while giving you an opportunity to visit. Of course you are always welcome to drive to the destination on your own and meet the group there.
For all trips you should have good walking shoes, light jacket and cash to cover your meal and your share of gas, tolls and or park entry fees with your car pool driver. Equipment needs will be listed on the website or in the emails for the trip. Normally it a short to medium telephoto lens and a tripod.
You should sign up for all field trips on the field trip page of the website using the online sign up in the left side column. Then we have your name and contact info should the trip be canceled.
Hope you will be able to attend some of the scheduled trips once they are planned and posted.

The leaders for this trip will be Ken Jordan and Tom Sanchez our field trip chairman. Nature is waking up all around us. By Saturday May 11th it should be visible in abundance everywhere. The destination for this trip is ‘Garden on the Woods’ in Framingham, MA. It is 45 acres of woodland botanical gardens where wildflowers abound. A path leads you through the woods to a small stream and lots of color from the flowers. Peak bloom is about Mother’s Day on May 12 so Saturday May 11th will be prime time. The Garden opens at 10am so we will meet at the club at 8:45am to carpool and leave at 9am sharp. Of course, you are always welcome to drive to the destination on your own and meet the group there; however, you should still sign up and note that in the comment box so that the leaders are aware you will be joining them.The address for Garden in the Woods is 180 Hemenway Road-Framingham, MA 01701. Tickets are available at the visitor Center when you arrive and cost 18 Dollars with Seniors over 65years cost is 15 Dollars.
You will need a macro lens or close focusing equipment, a tripod if you own one and a cable release. Wear good walking shoes, dress in layers and if you want to lie on the ground, it may be wet. You should also have cash with you for the meal and to help with your share of car expenses. We will go to grab a bite to eat after a few hours in the field photographing. Our destination is Murphy’s Eats and Treats at 911 Edgell Rd, Framingham 508-434-7744. It used to be CJ Northside Grill where we have eaten several times before.
