INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOGRAPHY, A 2-PART WORKSHOP.
THE INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOGRAPHY, A 2-PART WORKSHOP WILL BE TAUGHT BY RICHARD SPEARRIN.
Have you ever wanted to take better pictures?? Or wondered why your pictures are not always sharp. Or perhaps you are overwhelmed with all the adjustments of your camera?? The Lymes’ Senior Center will host two classes to enable beginning photographers to start taking better pictures and enjoy using their cameras. The instructor is Richard Spearrin from Essex, a member of the CT Valley Camera Club Steering Committee. Mr. Spearrin started learning the successful elements of photography during his high school years working for a small CT newspaper. Most recently he has become very active in exhibiting at multiple area venues, arranging photo shoots for the camera club and mentoring beginning photographers.
· The first of the two sessions, “Principles of Photography”, will concentrate on the understanding the basics of good photography: exposure, lighting, focus and composition. In addition, attendees will understand how to use their camera more effectively.
· The second session is titled “Fun Principles of Photography” and will discuss specific photographic activities such as capturing fireworks; making streams and waterfalls smoother; capturing light streaks; stopping action; and extreme close up.
Each session is scheduled for one hour and a half to accommodate questions and answers. And it does not matter if you use a smartphone, a point and shoot camera or a high-end adjustable camera. As Ansel Adams, renowned environmental photographer, said, “A camera did not make a great picture any more than a typewriter made a good novel”. A good photograph is based on the heart, eye, and soul of the photographer. Make sure you bring your camera with you. So join us on April 6th and May 4th 10:15am-11:45am and learn to enjoy being a better photographer. Reservations are required for this free workshop. Call (860)434-4127 or email sgould@oldlyme-ct.gov to sign up.

Dear Seniors,
It has been an extremely long two years of living
in the crazy new world we found ourselves in.
Throughout these difficulties and health scares
for many of us and our families, we have also
found ourselves in seclusion and isolated much
of the time. As difficult as it was for those with
close family and friends, I am often saddened by
the thoughts of our seniors who found themselves completely alone, without those social
networks. I am proud of our Montville Senior
Center and all that Kathie and her staff accomplished during this time, reaching out to and
connecting our homebound seniors to programs
and services, I am also proud to be a part of the
COVID COMMITTEE and the MONTVILLE
TOWN COUNCIL that approved funding for
some trips and programs for our seniors to help
get back out there and enjoy themselves! Watch
for all the updates that Kathie and her team have
planned for you and I would just like to add that
it is so nice to be able to see you all once again
(with or without masks if you are comfortable) –
enjoying each other’s company most of all!
–Liaison Billy Caron
UPCOMING TRIPS TO BE ANNOUNCED
We have three upcoming trips planned for our Montville Seniors! They will be first come, first served per
sign up as they have been paid for by our
Town COVID Committee with Town
Council approval for our seniors! As it has
been a very long two years of staying mostly
indoors and isolated from the public, I am
proud to say that these trips are paid in full
from these funds to afford our seniors some
much needed socialization and interaction!
