Each year, the Club conducts a competitive field trip, usually to a unique local venue, in which they compete in eight image subjects. This year the Club chose to photograph sites throughout the Carmel Valley on January 28, 2018. This year's subjects were designed to showcase the varied landscapes and features of this area through individual interpretation of an eclectic list of subjects including: "Rustic Architecture", "Good Eats", "Four Legs & a Tail", "Off the Beaten Path", "People", "Valley Views", "Business of Wine", and "Photographer's Choice". The participants also enjoyed a lunch together at the Running Iron Restaurant and Saloon during the mid-day light. The day was a beautiful sunny day and the members created some striking images.
The Club has established a three-division competition. Group A - advanced photographers, Group AA - intermediate photographers, and Group AAA - developing photographers and new members. Presented below are the overall winning shots for each group.
