LYME — The Lyme Land Trust program Imagining Lyme: A Visual Exploration of Lyme’s Preserves encourages everyone to expand their visual awareness and highlight the beauty of the Lyme preserves owned by the Lyme Land Trust, the Town of Lyme and The Nature Conservancy.
The method of doing this is by taking photographs prompted by inspiration from Joe Standart, a professional photographer and Land Trust Board Member.
There will be a different category each season, with related tips from Standart. Explore the details, watch videos of his photography tips, and try the first challenge, all of which can be found at this website.
The first challenge, for Fall/Winter 2020-2021, is “Light: How to use light to express a mood.” The deadline for submission of photos for the first challenge is March 19, 2021.
A new challenge for the Spring season will be announced on March 20.
All submitted photos will be showcased in an online gallery hosted by the Land Trust. Three “Photos of distinction” in each specific category will be chosen quarterly based upon the criteria of emotional impact and creative design.
A ‘Photo of the Year’ will be chosen by the Lyme Land Trust membership. Those chosen will also receive a framed print of their photo.
Rules and upload instructions are on the website.
