OLD LYME — This Friday, Dec. 2, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., the public is invited to join a group of “Members with Cameras” from the Lymes’ Senior Center when they host an Opening Reception for a show of their photographs.

The show will be held in Old Lyme’s Memorial Town Hall on Lyme St.

These folks have been learning techniques related to expanding and enhancing the use of phones as cameras from long-time photographer, exhibitor, and instructor Fred Verillo.

Choosing a subject and then improving it with photographic editing apps are just a few of the topics that have been covered in Verillo’s workshops.

All are welcome to the free reception. Refreshments will be served.
