Each year, the Club conducts a competitive field trip, usually to a unique local venue, in which they compete in seven image subjects. This year the Club chose to photograph sites throughout the City of Capitola on January 17, 2016. This year's subjects were designed to showcase the varied landscapes and features of this city through individual interpretation of an eclectic list of subjects including: Architectural Details, the Capitola Wharf, Beach Scenes, the Railroad Trestle, Good Eats, the Venetian Courts, and Photographer's Choice. The participants also enjoyed a lunch together at the Stockton Bridge Grill during the mid-day light. The day was overcast and drizzly for much of the day.

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.
