In January, Dave LaBelle began a new chapter in The Great Picture Hunt by putting a special emphasis on participation. Dave’s column now features
a monthly photography assignment that invites readers to test their skills and share their work. In January, Dave invited readers to look for dramatic lighting that stirs imagination and emotion.

Many of you did, and we’re excited to share the results. Check out our Instagram and Facebook sites (instagram.com/ruralitemag; facebook.com/Ruralite) to see what readers did with the assignment.
Check our social media channels around the 15th of each month to see a gallery of the best photo submissions from our readers, such as those at right by Dudley Chelton.
While you’re checking out our social sites, take a moment to check out our all new magazine website, Ruralite.com, which is modern, engaging and pleasing to the eye. We think you will like what you see.
Happy photo hunting.
