Hunt's Photo Education

Online: Editing in Black & White
2020-05-02 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Personal growth in photography begins with understanding the characteristics that enhance strong black and white images. Editing those images for black and white is the next step in bringing your monochrome photo toward completion.
Join Hunt’s Photo Educator Don Toothaker as we discuss the process of editing images in black & white. For this class, we will be using Lightroom, which offers an excellent level of flexibility with your images. We will showcase the editing power of RAW to create final black and white images that showcase tonal range, exposure, and composition.

Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
There is so much to think about in photography– from settings and composition to editing and post processing and so much more– that it can be easy to get lost within your images. Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a chance to discuss one of your images in a review and critique session, where we will discuss many of these topics and how they work in your image.

This Week’s Topic
For this week’s topic, all attendees will submit an unedited RAW image. This can either be an image that you want to have critiqued for its technical prowess alone OR an image that you would like to have looked at from an editing perspective (in other words, giving suggestions on what direction to take the image in editing). This is a wonderful, unique opportunity, as editing can cover up many flaws, and in viewing unedited images, we strip our images down to the bare essentials! We encourage photographers of all levels to consider this course, as it is as valuable to seasoned professional as it is to a beginner!
This class will be a small group of up to 10-15 attendees. Upon registering, you will receive a confirmation email that will include a link in order to upload images to us for the image review. We will also send out a reminder email a few days prior. Make sure to leave yourself enough time to upload your photo!
During the critique, all attendees will be muted. When we critique your image, we will unmute you, so please have a working microphone on your computer/tablet.

Online: Photoshop Mini-Sessions- Adding Textures to Photos
2020-05-07 11:00 - 12:15
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
One of the most fun and creative ways to utilize Adobe Photoshop (as opposed to many other editing programs, including Lightroom) is through using multiple layers. Adding textures to photographs or areas of a photograph are an excellent opportunity to add character, depth, and a uniqueness to an image!
In this class, we will demonstrate and work with images in a step-by-step process to take a photo from Lightroom (or anywhere on your computer), import into Photoshop, add a texture, and then save the file.
This class will specifically cover…
•Layers
•Masking
•Blend modes
The tools we utilize here don’t need to end with just textures. The concepts we will cover in the class can also be applied to other areas–changing the opacity of a layer or image, creating masks which allow you to change one specific area of a photo, and more. If you have an interest in learning more about Photoshop, this is an excellent opportunity!
Registering and what is needed
After you register for this class, you will receive a confirmation email that will include information about how to access the online class, including an online ID code that you will need to get into the class. Make sure to save this information. We will also send a reminder email about 48 hours prior to the class time with that same information.
Layout of the class
The class will begin promptly at the time listed. The majority of the class–roughly 1 hour– will be a presentation on the topic, followed by a short Q&A. During the class, you are welcome to type in questions in the Chat box if you have specific questions as they are asked. We will do our best to answer those questions, but if not, feel free to ask them at the end.

Online: Image Review/Critique- Edited RAW
2020-05-13 18:00 - 19:30
Wednesday May 13th, 7-8:30pm • Online!
Prerequisite: We will be collecting an EDITED RAW image from each attendee for each critique session
Instructor: Don Toothaker

This Week’s Topic
For this week’s topic, all attendees will submit an edited RAW image. This can either be an image that you have edited that you feel confident in or one in which you have edited and are looking to get a second opinion. This is a great chance to look deeper into your images, as we will really be looking into the specifics of what to set in the editing process and why. We encourage photographers of all levels to consider this course, as it is as valuable to seasoned professional as it is to a beginner!

Regarding uploading of images
For this critique, we ask that you export a DNG from Lightroom or Capture One, or save as the original RAW with the XMP sidecar file. DNG is a RAW format that also embeds in all the changes you have made previously to the image and can be exported from Lightroom or Capture One. Since it’s RAW, we can still make “lossless” changes to the DNG file, so that’s very helpful. We’ve made a short video about how to do it that you can watch here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ll87ah4kapx0zul/exporting-to-dng.mp4?dl=0
During the critique, all attendees will be muted. When we critique your image, we will unmute you, so please have a working microphone on your computer/tablet.

2020-05-14 13:00 - 14:15
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
This class will focus on a lesser known feature of Lightroom Classic, High Dynamic Range photo merging. Sometimes a scene has too broad a range to capture in one shot: either the highlights are overexposed or the shadows are too dark and lose detail. This class will explain the technique of how to capture the bright & dark parts of the scene and then how to process the results in Lightroom Classic resulting in a fantastic photo!

Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
There is a world of tones and colors available to you in Adobe Lightroom Classic, but how do you access it and make it your own?
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a trip into some of the lesser-known panels in Adobe Lightroom Classic, as we delve into the “Curves” and “HSL” Panels… and more! In this class, we will take a strong look at color options in the HSL Panel (that’s Hue-Saturation-Luminance) and how to properly manipulate them. We’ll delve into the Curves Panel to show how to get the most out of the exposure and tonal range of your image by using curves (and what the “curve” actually is!). And we’ll show a little bit of how to get the most out of images by using not just global adjustments, but also local adjustments.
This class is an excellent opportunity to fine-tune color and tone adjustments! If your images lack a punch, this is a great opportunity to see how to obtain it!

Online: Photoshop Mini-Sessions- Batch Processing and Actions
2020-05-18 13:00 - 14:15
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
In this Photoshop mini-session we will be focusing on the automated batch-processing tools available in Photoshop. An “action” in Photoshop is a process that will allow you to do the same processes multiple times. For example, if we have a 3-4 step process that we use to soften skin, we minimize the time it takes to do it by creating an “Action”!
We’re going to look at how we can create and record our own Photoshop actions to save our favorite editing styles and apply them to multiple images. This is a great feature to learn about if you want to be quick with your editing and you want to save as much time as possible when editing a lot of photos.
If you are unfamiliar with the basics and workflow in Photoshop, we recommend considering taking our Photoshop Mini-Session- Basics and Workflow!

2020-05-20 15:00 - 16:15
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Why should one use the editing software Capture One? There are many reasons! Tethering, layers and masks, and adaptability are a few of the key reasons to use the software, but Capture One truly shines as the premiere color editor.
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we work with color in Capture One. Specifically, we will cover:
•The Basic Color Editor tool
•The Advanced Color Editor tool
•The Skin tone tool
•Using these tools in conjunction with layers and masks
•Using different ICC Profiles and Curves
This class is both an excellent opportunity for beginners who want to see what Capture One can offer as well as anyone looking to get more advanced with their editing skills. Come see what all the fuss is about!

Online: Editing Essentials in Lightroom
2020-05-21 15:00 - 16:30, 2020-06-03 15:00 - 16:30, 2020-06-12 15:00 - 16:30
In response to COVID-19 and recommendations by the CDC of social distancing, Hunt’s Photo Education is presenting our new series of online classes! (Hey! We wanted to do it anyway, this just sped up the process!) These courses will be shorter (about 1 hour), online versions of many classes that we currently offer, plus a few new ones, and include Q&A at the end.
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
You’ve taken a fantastic image and you understand the basics of editing in Adobe Lightroom. So what’s the problem? Have we made it good enough? Have we made the right steps along the way? How can we make it better? This class is all about editing one of your images.
Leading up to this class, we will ask for 2-3 images (RAW, if possible) from you in order to edit ONE of them in class. We will do this with each of our 6-8 attendees and in the end, we will have discussed a whole slew of topics that will (hopefully) make you a better editor!
We are constantly asked: Who should take this class? What if you’re new to Lightroom? Yes- because you’ll see the possibilities in the program! What if you don’t use Lightroom? Sure! We will be using Lightroom, but the concepts are very similar throughout other similar programs. What if you just use a cell phone or shoot only in JPEG? I don’t see why not! Just because you shoot in JPEG or with a cell phone doesn’t mean you can’t edit your photos. This is a great all-encompassing class, working out challenges for all levels!
This is a class that you can take as many times as you’d like. Since you’re constantly working with new images, you’re always working out new challenges!
Registering and what is needed
After you register for this class, you will receive a confirmation email that you have signed up. About 48 hours prior to the class time, we will send out an email with the weblink for you to follow as well as information on how to access the class online. (It’s pretty easy, but we’ll walk you through it in a quick online video!)

So often in Lightroom, we discuss how to “get started” in Lightroom, giving you an introduction to the program, and guide you through some of the basic elements of the program. But no less important are the fine details in the finished product, and this class digs deeper into Lightroom to expand on those points.

We will be demoing these techniques on-screen during the class. This class will be recorded, so we recommend that you watch the process and take notes during this time.

Online: Image Review/Critique- Intentional Camera Movement
2020-05-27 19:00 - 21:00
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
There is so much to think about in photography– from settings and composition to editing and post processing and so much more– that it can be easy to get lost within your images. Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a chance to discuss one of your images in a review and critique session, where we will discuss many of these topics and how they work in your image. Our Hunt’s Photo Education Team firmly believes that presenting personal work and observing peer work is paramount to the growth and development of your photographic vision.
This Week’s Topic
For this week’s topic, all attendees will submit an image with Intentional Camera Movement. Intentional Camera Movement is moving your camera DURING your picture’s exposure. Moving your camera DURING the exposure is counterintuitive, but the abstract results can be breathtaking. We recently had a presentation on Intentional Camera Movement which produced so many questions, observations, and thoughts about what works and what doesn’t that we decided an image critique would be a wonderful way of talking about what works! You are welcome to edit this image or leave it unedited. However, we ask that you export the image as a DNG, or save the RAW file with a XMP sidecar file so that we can reedit the image, if need be. (If you’re unsure what a DNG file is, watch this short video about exporting as DNG. If you cannot save the file in either formats, please submit an edited and unedited version so we can reedit, if need be.)
We encourage photographers of all levels to consider this course, as it is as valuable to seasoned professional as it is to a beginner!
This class will be a small group of up to 10-15 attendees. Upon registering, you will receive a confirmation email that will include a link in order to upload images to us for the image review. We will also send out a reminder email a few days prior. Make sure to leave yourself enough time to upload your photo!
Regarding uploading of images
For this critique, we ask that you export a DNG from Lightroom/Capture One or save as the original RAW with the XMP sidecar file. DNG is a RAW format that also embeds in all the changes you have made previously to the image! Since it’s RAW, we can still make “lossless” changes to the DNG file, so that’s very helpful. We’ve made a short video about how to do it that you can watch here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ll87ah4kapx0zul/exporting-to-dng.mp4?dl=0
Join us for this exciting opportunity to share your photographic work with the community!

Layout of the class
Our course layout is simple. This course will last about 2 hours, depending on quantity of attendees. During that time, all attendees will be muted. When we critique your image, we will unmute you, so please have a working microphone on your computer/tablet.
During the class, you are welcome to type in questions in the Chat box if you have specific questions as they are asked. We will do our best to answer those questions, but if not, feel free to ask them at the end.

Online: Image Review/Critique- Unedited Portraits
2020-06-03 19:00 - 21:00
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
There is so much to think about in photography– from settings and composition to editing and post processing and so much more– that it can be easy to get lost within your images. Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a chance to discuss one of your images in a review and critique session, where we will discuss many of these topics and how they work in your image. Our Hunt’s Photo Education Team firmly believes that presenting personal work and observing peer work is paramount to the growth and development of your photographic vision.
This Week’s Topic
For this week’s topic, all attendees will submit an Unedited RAW Portrait. There are a number of moving parts to portraits, from lighting to backgrounds, subject posing to facial expression, camera angle and choice of lens, not to mention camera settings! And so often when we take portraits, we tell ourselves, “Don’t worry- we’ll fix it in post!”
Well, this image review/critique will specifically look at portraits unedited, straight out of the camera. We will be looking at all of the above moving parts, and we’ll also discuss what options we have moving forward with these images, included a discussion on what should be done in editing and what can be done in editing. For this critique, all we will need is the original RAW image without any edits.
We can look at these images in either Lightroom, Capture One, or Adobe Photoshop. Since our discussion on editing is secondary, there is not limitation to what program you use.
We encourage photographers of all levels to consider this course, as it is as valuable to seasoned professional as it is to a beginner! Join us for this exciting opportunity to share your photographic work with the community!
This class will be a small group of up to 10-15 attendees. Upon registering, you will receive a confirmation email that will include a link in order to upload images to us for the image review.

Regarding uploading of images
Unlike many of our critiques where we ask for a DNG file, for this class, we only need a RAW file submitted.

After you register for this class, you will receive a confirmation email that will include information about how to access the online class, including an online ID code that you will need to get into the class.

Online: Photoshop Mini-Sessions- An Intro to Combining Images in Landscape Editing
2020-06-05 15:00 - 16:15
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
In this Photoshop mini-session we will be learning some basic compositing skills to help us make our landscape images more exciting in Photoshop. The act of combining images in Photoshop, or “Compositing”, allows the photographer to have multiple exposures in one image, a process that we cannot fully achieve in programs like Lightroom and Capture One. It is one of the key considerations to make when thinking about why it is important to use Photoshop!
This is a great beginner compositing class for someone who has never done compositing before or if you are an avid landscape photographer looking to try a different editing style.
If you are unfamiliar with the basics and workflow in Photoshop, we recommend considering taking our Photoshop Mini-Session- Basics and Workflow! This course also covers on a good deal of topics that are further discussed in many of our Photoshop Mini-Sessions. For a full list of our PS Mini-Session offerings, click here.

Online: Photoshop Mini-Sessions- Portrait Retouching
2020-06-08 18:00 - 19:15
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
In this Photoshop mini-session, we will be learning some basic portrait retouching techniques to help clean up and polish a variety of professional portraiture. We’ll focus on using the most efficient ways to solve problems quickly without over-editing our work. By the end of this class, we should have a simple and efficient workflow that we can use on almost all the portraits we edit.
Whether you are familiar with Photoshop and need assistance in portraits, or you currently use Lightroom or Capture One for editing portraits, this class will be an excellent opportunity to learn important editing skills in Photoshop!
If you are unfamiliar with the basics and workflow in Photoshop, we recommend considering taking our Photoshop Mini-Session- Basics and Workflow! This course also covers on a good deal of topics that are further discussed in many of our Photoshop Mini-Sessions. For a full list of our PS Mini-Session offerings, click here.

Online: Image Review/Critique- Macro/Close-Up
2020-06-10 19:00 - 21:00
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
There is so much to think about in photography– from settings and composition to editing and post processing and so much more– that it can be easy to get lost within your images. Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a chance to discuss one of your images in a review and critique session, where we will discuss many of these topics and how they work in your image. Our Hunt’s Photo Education Team firmly believes that presenting personal work and observing peer work is paramount to the growth and development of your photographic vision.
This Week’s Topic
For this week’s topic, all attendees will submit a macro or close-up image. Macro photography can seem deceptively simply, but it is far more challenging than meets the eye. Focus is paramount, camera settings can vary greatly, and, as always, great composition is essential. In this image review/critique, we will focus (pun intended) on looking closer (pun also intended) at macro images with a refined eye. You are welcome to edit this image or leave it unedited. However, we ask that you export the image as a DNG, or save the RAW file with a XMP sidecar file so that we can reedit the image, if need be. (If you’re unsure what a DNG file is, watch this short video about exporting as DNG. If you cannot save the file in either formats, please submit an edited and unedited version so we can reedit, if need be.)
We encourage photographers of all levels to consider this course, as it is as valuable to seasoned professional as it is to a beginner!
This class will be a small group of up to 10-15 attendees. Upon registering, you will receive a confirmation email that will include a link in order to upload images to us for the image review. We will also send out a reminder email a few days prior. Make sure to leave yourself enough time to upload your photo!
Join us for this exciting opportunity to share your photographic work with the community!
Regarding uploading of images
For this critique, we ask that you export a DNG from Lightroom/Capture One or save as the original RAW with the XMP sidecar file. DNG is a RAW format that also embeds in all the changes you have made previously to the image! Since it’s RAW, we can still make “lossless” changes to the DNG file, so that’s very helpful. We’ve made a short video about how to do it that you can watch here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ll87ah4kapx0zul/exporting-to-dng.mp4?dl=0
Registering and what is needed

Layout of the class
Our course layout is simple. This course will last about 2 hours, depending on quantity of attendees. During that time, all attendees will be muted. When we critique your image, we will unmute you, so please have a working microphone on your computer/tablet.
During the class, you are welcome to type in questions in the Chat box if you have specific questions as they are asked. We will do our best to answer those questions, but if not, feel free to ask them at the end.

Online: Basic Digital Printing (Printing with Lightroom)
2020-06-17 13:00 - 14:15
In response to COVID-19 and recommendations by the CDC of social distancing, Hunt’s Photo Education is presenting our new series of online classes! (Hey! We wanted to do it anyway, this just sped up the process!) These courses will be shorter (about 1 hour), online versions of many classes that we currently offer, plus a few new ones, and include Q&A at the end.
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
The time has come to tame digital printing! With the low price of excellent quality digital printers, what was once an elite craft is now much more manageable for the average photographer. This course briefly covers the basics questions of printing, including editing suggestions, color management tools and settings, paper styles and finishes, printing recommendations, and troubleshooting on how to avoid those nasty pitfalls that can occur along the way. Whether you use Canon, Epson or HP, the concepts in this course remain the same.
This class also focuses on printing using Lightroom specifically. Being able to print from Lightroom allows you to complete all of your tasks specifically in one rather than multiple programs. Even if you do not own or use Lightroom, the concepts within this class are fairly global and these concepts can be translated to other programs. We will also discuss printing using these other programs.
Registering and what is needed
After you register for this class, you will receive a confirmation email that you have signed up. About 24 hours prior to the class time, we will send out an email with the weblink for you to follow as well as information on how to access the class online. (It’s pretty easy, but we’ll walk you through it in a quick online video!)
Layout of the class
The class will begin promptly at the time listed. The majority of the class–roughly 1 hour– will be a presentation on the topic, followed by a short Q&A. During the class, you are welcome to type in questions in the Chat box if you have specific questions as they are asked.
