Events - Photography Weekend
Lyme Regis, known as the Pearl of Dorset, has always attracted photographers. The iconic Cobb featured in the film of French Lieutenant's Woman and Jane Austen's Persuasion, the picturesque harbour, the charming higgledy piggedly town with its narrow streets are amongst its many photogenic features.
The aim of the weekend is to spend time capturing some of the many subjects that Lyme Regis offers, providing an opportunity in a relaxed and informal context to develop your photography skills supported by advice, suggestions and discussion. The weekend is open to photographers with any level of experience provided they have a digital camera.
