CAP Virtual Photo Trip

The CAP trips committee has come up with a wonderful way for us all to get out and photograph during our Covid Pandemic. We had suspended all planned trips to keep everyone safe. We now have a safe way to photograph the same subject type on your own at a day and time convenient to you. The subject is “Bridges of Connecticut”, covered or otherwise.

Images must be captured between  3-25-21 Through 4-25-21

We will be compiling these images into a show for all to see. You may enter three images by sending them to Jim Dionne at  jimski42@gmail.com between 3-25-21 and 4-25-21. Images must have been taken during that time frame and sized to 1400x1050 pixels. We guarantee that at least two will be in the show, and possibly all three depending on the number of entries. This is NOT a competition, but just a fun CAP event to get us all together doing the same thing. 

If all goes well, there will be a second virtual trip coming up in May. The subject will be “Spring Flowers”. Check the blog for details closer to the time.

Looking forward to seeing your images in the show  !
