Trips and Excursions

Shooting with Friends: There's nothing like checking out cool So Cal shot locations with photographers you respect. In fact it’s a great motivator for creative exploration!

PADA holds local photo events every month or two. See below for information on a few recent examples.

Light Painting at Point Fermin – A PADA photo shoot was held at Point Fermin near San Pedro, and the main photographic focus was light painting (October 2023).

Anza Borrego Field Trip – Members of PADA went on a three-night excursion to the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, and collected a number of beautiful and intriguing images. (March 2024)

LA Zoo Photo Shoot – Members visited the LA Zoo in November of 2022, and were guided by the official LA Zoo photographer. It was a great three hours.
