Capture to Print: Macro and Flowers
2019-02-02 09:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Hunt’s Photo, Melrose, 100 Main St., Melrose, MA, 02176, United States
Printing your photos will make you a better photographer. The first step to creating a great print is by understanding how to create a great photograph in the field.
Capture-To-Print is an intermediate workshop that focuses not only on photography, but also editing and printing! Half photo workshop, half editing and printing, we will take you through the whole process–from Capture to Print— to demonstrate what is important in the field, how to effectively process photos, and why printing is a necessity.
Our process for this Capture to Print workshop will be a little different from our previous workshops. We will begin in our Melrose classroom with lighting setups and a variety of flowers, which we will photograph over the course of the morning. We will transition from photographing to editing in the early afternoon. Attendees are encouraged to bring their computers–laptops or all-in-ones are fine (iMacs are welcome)–in order to do their own editing. Attendees should have Adobe Lightroom and/or Photoshop on their computer or a comparable program. We will be available to help with the processing of images during this time. We will then view these edits, critique, and discuss them with the rest of the class while also creating 13×19″ prints.
This will be a fun and challenging workshop that will walk you through the full process of creating a photograph. The process of printing is integral to developing one’s photographic vision.
Approximate schedule for the day:
9am- Introductions, discussion of lighting and macro techniques
10am- Photographing of flowers, macro
12pm- Begin editing (Attendees are encouraged to bring a bagged lunch and take a short break during this time)
2pm- Review, critique, and printing

If you are attending this workshop, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the workshop. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.
If you have specific flowers that you would like to bring to photograph, you are welcome to bring them as well.

Lighting with Speedlights: One-Light Portraits- Hunt's Photo, S. Portland
2019-02-02 10:00 - 15:00 | Hunt’s Photo, South Portland, 220 Maine Mall Rd, South Portland, Maine, 04106
Have a flash and want to get more out of it? Want to take great portraits, but don’t want to get bogged down figuring out how to use multiple lights? Join Hunt’s Photo’s Rick Berk for this fun and informative workshop where he will discuss basic flash settings, and then demonstrate how you can create stunning portraits using a single speedlight and some accessories. Rick will walk you through several one light portrait setups so that by the end of the class, you’ll know exactly how to get a studio portrait look using nothing more than one flash. We’ll show setups using the flash both on- and off-camera, and demonstrate the proper use of reflectors and other light modifiers so you can create portraits that truly capture your subject’s persona in the best light.
Make sure to bring your camera with a charged battery and a standard zoom or prime lens in the 50mm to 85mm range. If you own a Speedlight, feel free to bring it!
