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.
Formal Field Trips and Evening Exposure
Upcoming Formal Field Trips
Various formal 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.
Informal Field Trip MeetUp Groups. We will continue to have informal field trips - MeetUp Groups - for spontaneous unorganized field trips. There will be a signup sheet for email notifications on the bulletin board across from the treasurer's desk at the club. Then when a MeetUp is planned (see below), an email will go out from Marilyn Cloran (macloran@comcast.net) to the people who have signed up to be notified. If you cannot make it to the club to put your name on the signup sheet, please email Marilyn at the above address.
Any person who wants to plan a MeetUp will send Marilyn Cloran the meet up information with date, time and specific location at which the group will meet. They may also want to include any specific information regarding equipment needs etc. Then Marilyn will send that information out to the MeetUp group email list. Interested participants will go to the venue on their own and meet at the location and time indicated.
Formal Field Trip News and General Information
September 01, 2025
GLPA member Tomas Sanchez is our Formal Field Trip Chairman. Formal Field Trips would meet at the club to car pool, go to the venue and after shooting, enjoy a meal after. Participants must sign up in advance to attend. Tom and his assistant, Ken Jordon normally help the attendees with shooting questions along with where to shoot at the venue.Volunteers from our membership are also welcome to suggest and lead a formal field trip throughout 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.
Formal Field Trips would be listed on this page and require a sign up by the attendees. Informal trips such as the MeetUps are not listed here and attendees on the interested MeetUp list will receive an email the day before or a few hours before and then go to the venue on their own to MeetUp and photograph. Normally Formal Fields 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.
Formal 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 Formal Field Trips on this 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.

Postponed to Spring Date TBA-Formal Field Trip-Fire Pit Lights -Trip Leader- Patrick Brosnan, MNEC
October 18, 2025
To accommodate the Quabbin foliage and stream workshop on Sunday Sept 19th, we are postponing this Fire Pit workshop to a spring date as November will be too cold. This is an easy to get to an onsite exciting different field trip. We did one a number of years ago and we are excited to have it scheduled again. Come spend a few evening hours in the backyard and try your hand at long exposures with colored lights.Patrick, our trip leader states- together we can create complex layers of lights or we can stick to pendulums and interesting arcs and sways. I highly recommend a tripod and a telephoto lens which will compress the layers but wide-angle lens will allow you to catch more of a scene.
We will light up the fire pit and share the glow with various options spread about the yard. We have a studio, if you need some extra warmth or cover from rain but there are quite a few stairs to get up to it. Adirondack chairs abound in the yard but feel free to bring a chair of your own along with a small cooler and drinks-snacks if you want to.
Please arrive at 5:30pm-dusk and we will shoot until about 8:30pm. At this time there is no plan to meet at the club to car pool but if someone needs to do this for transportation please notify Susan Mosser at s.jmosser@comcast.net and she will see what she can set up.
We are going to Tewksbury, MA. And full directions will be sent out as the time gets nearer to all who sign up.
Please sign up for the trip using the online sign up in the left side column, then we have your name and contact info should the trip be canceled.
If you have any questions please email Susan directly at the above email address.
