Online: Tripods! Tips & Tricks!
2021-05-05 19:00 - 20:30
Wednesday May 5th, 7-8:15pm EST • Online!
Recommended prerequisite: None
Instructor: Emily Hojnowski
Class Level: Basic
Want to get this class after it’s been run?– We have an online store where you can purchase all our previously run classes here: https://ebay.huntsphoto.com/buy-previous-courses/
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
What’s the deal with tripods? Often, we get questions about what is important when purchasing a tripod and why we might choose one tripod over another. Even more often, we will be on photo walks and attendees will come with tripods that just don’t “fit the bill”–in other words, they wobble, they don’t get tall enough, and their end result (the photograph) isn’t tack-sharp. Even other times, our attendees are flummoxed as to how to set up a tripod.
But no longer! This course will teach you all about tripods, including what options to look for, the varying parts of a tripod, and how to use one properly. Come join us as we get you more stable!

Class Description
Learning about photography can be a real challenge. There are so many pieces to the puzzle of photography, some of which use confusing terminology. And while we also offer other wonderful Beginner Photography classes to get you started, nothing is truly the same as hands-on in-the-field! It’s important to fully understand the “why” and “how” of your camera settings.
In this outdoor, hands-on class, you’ll learn all about the basics of photography. We will discuss Exposure (how light works with the camera), the Big Three Settings (Aperture, Shutter Speed, & ISO), how they affect your picture and how to set them, and what mode to set it to on your camera! We’ll discuss changing depth-of-field (controlling what’s in focus in the background), stopping or blurring the action in your scene, and many other basic picture-taking techniques. This will be an excellent opportunity to learn about your camera in a fun and safe environment! Join us to strengthen your photographic knowledge!
In this session of Beginner Photography in the Field…
…we will be going to Castle Island in South Boston. Jutting out into the Boston Harbor from South Boston lies the unique and beautiful Castle Island, along with one of its main attractions, the historic Fort Independence. During the summer months, the boulevard that guides you around the strip of land buzzes with activity. Fort Independence overlooks the entire area on a hilltop. With a 360-degree hillside view and panoramas onto the bay and into Boston, as well as the lively activity, Castle Island is breathtaking in the summer months. This is an excellent area to learn about photography with a variety of fine-details and interesting scenes that can lead to terrific photographs.

After learning “the basics” of digital photography, become more comfortable in the world of digital photography by taking the next step.
For some photographers, there is only the manual mode. But why is it important to shoot in the Manual mode? Are there reasons to use manual vs. Aperture priority and vice-versa? How can we maximize usability?
While our Beginner class scratches the surface of these functions, our Beyond the Basics class goes over in-depth:
-Your Camera’s Light Meter and how it works
-Use of Aperture Priority vs. Manual modes
-Histograms
-Photographing in RAW vs. Jpeg
Understanding the full-functionality of your camera is a necessity to improving your flexibility when photographing in a variety of situations. This course is designed to help you feel more comfortable about how to change your camera’s settings in those situations. It is recommended as a follow-up to our Beginner Photography course.

Some character references:

“I was impressed with how well the class was run, the amount of material covered so thoroughly and how all different camera types were incorporated without it causing issues. I was really impressed with the whole experience. Great instructors!!”
“Everything was condensed and taught at a basic level which helped with the confusion I had before coming to class. Bottom Line: Great class for confused beginners.”
“Everything about this class was excellent. The instructors were patient and took time to answer every question thoroughly and we were given ample time to try out the techniques we were being shown. All in all, a wonderful experience.”
“Very much liked the instructors- knowledgeable, entertaining, encouraging, not judgmental. Loved the casual nature of the class and opportunity for one-on-one discussions. Excellent for me, as a novice.”

Beginner Photography in the Field: Saugus Iron Works
2021-07-24 10:00 - 14:00

Class Description
Learning about photography can be a real challenge. There are so many pieces to the puzzle of photography, some of which use confusing terminology. And while we also offer other wonderful Beginner Photography classes to get you started, nothing is truly the same as hands-on in-the-field! It’s important to fully understand the “why” and “how” of your camera settings.
In this outdoor, hands-on class, you’ll learn all about the basics of photography. We will discuss Exposure (how light works with the camera), the Big Three Settings (Aperture, Shutter Speed, & ISO), how they affect your picture and how to set them, and what mode to set it to on your camera! We’ll discuss changing depth-of-field (controlling what’s in focus in the background), stopping or blurring the action in your scene, and many other basic picture-taking techniques. This will be an excellent opportunity to learn about your camera in a fun and safe environment! Join us to strengthen your photographic knowledge!
In this session of Beginner Photography in the Field…
…we will be going to the Saugus Iron Works in Saugus. The Saugus Iron Works is the site of where European iron workers began their trade in the new colony. On the site today are a large water wheel, mills, a forge, wood buildings, and the Saugus River! This is another excellent area to learn about photography, with the variety of subject matter, interesting textures, and wonderful angles and compositions that can lead to terrific photographs. Bring your camera and your enthusiasm to learn all about photography in a hands-on, real-life environment!
