Hopefully this will inspire many of us to get outside, look around, get a little walking in, enjoy the world around us take photos and share with all the fantastic photographers in the SunCoast Camera Club…. Bryan, our field trip organizer, works very hard to think of new and very interesting places that we can get out to and enjoy. Most times these are FREE places to venture out to sometimes there is a nominal fee but whichever they are worth going to, photographing, and sharing your ideas and settings you use.

Please send 6 images in JPEG format. 1 image will be used for your introduction.

Send images to Rob Hamilton for the monthly slide show at:
rfh3358@gmail.com

 I urge all of our members to get out and take some photos and most importantly just get out and move around some in 2025.

You may send your images to Rob at any point during the month. Please be kind and get them to him prior to the very end of the month. This allows him time to edit them into his slide presentation.

  June 2025 Field Trips

"Click"

  If you cannot attend on the chosen date, go on your own day at the time you prefer. Email up to 6 photos to Rob Hamilton  rfh3358@gmail.com  for the slide show. Ask anyone if you need assistance to achieve this task. Attending field trips will assist you to improve your photography if you attend and ask questions to learn something or try something different. Ask someone what settings they are using.

  Each member can show their photographs in the slide show. Attend a field trip or make one up of your own creation. Take photos, send up to 6 on each adventure to Rob. Show your photos. They do not need to be worked via PhotoShop. They do not need to be competition quality photos. Have some enjoyment and do not leave your photos sitting on a memory card.

  June 14 at 9 am, Red Barn Flea Market. 1707 First St. E., Bradenton 34208. Park on the south lot and meet on the Southside sidewalk with murals. AIR CONDITIONED. There are shops, flea market booths, food court and ten murals plus a farmer’s market outside. Photograph vintage items, hats, bicycles, candy, signs and more. www.redbarnfleamarket.com

​

​

  June 21 at 10 am, Manatee County Agricultural Museum. 1015 6th St. W., Palmetto 34221 at the intersection of 10th Ave. W.. FREE / $3 suggested donation. Displays of agricultural heritage (citrus, fruit, vegetables, livestock, tractor/equipment), Model T truck, Crosley Farm-O-Road truck, orange crates, food scales and more. This is located across the street from the library where members’ photographs are on display. Service animals welcome. Open 1st and 3rd Saturday each month with lunch time closure noon to 1. www.manateecountyagmuseum.com  Special note: Dottie Favorite’s granddaughter-in-law works here.

​

  Palmetto Historical Park is outside the Agricultural Museum. This includes the Carnegie Library and other relocated buildings. Guided tours are available at 2 pm. FREE

  Enjoy a lunch at D’s Breakfast & Burgers (423 10th Ave. W.) by walking one block toward the river. A worthy thrift store is in the next block with historic murals on the building’s side. www.dspalmetto.com 

 Give YOUR field trip suggestions to Bryan or better yet, lead us on a field trip. I try to keep them close to home and free. Evidence shows this to be the best way to gain attendance. A few members have the desire to drive more than 10 miles and perhaps pay an admission fee.

Cheers, Bryan
