Meet with other members and try a range of different shots. Test some new post processing techniques. Pick about 6 of the most interesting and size them to within 1600 pixels wide and 1200 pixels high. When you have your field trip photos ready, send them to fieldtrip.opc@gmail.com

If you plan on going, you might want to think about making carpool arrangements with other members, especially if you are staying after dark.
