Hunt's Photo Walk: Holiday Lights at the Tower Hill Botanic Gardens
2018-12-13 16:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
Join Hunt’s Education for a set of walks that concentrate on photographing holiday lights. We have chosen a myriad of locations that vary in content and location. It may seem like a lot, but we have chosen these locations for the variety they present for attendees!
This year, we will be photographing lights at Boston Common & Gardens; Faneuil Hall & Christopher Columbus Park; at Tower Hill Botanic Gardens in Boylston; at Heritage Gardens in Sandwich; in downtown Newburyport; at the Stevens-Coolidge Place in North Andover; and at the Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay Harbor, Maine for their annual “Gardens Aglow”. We will discuss the many aspects that go into photographing in low-light, especially when encountering holiday lights, including Image Composition, Long Exposures, Architectural Photography and many additional aspects of photographing holiday lights. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
Effectively photographing holiday lights during the “blue hour” and at night can be a challenge. However, with proper exposure and balance of composition, you have the ability to capture great detail and color through your lenses.

Holiday-Themed Macro & Tabletop Workshop
2018-12-22 10:00 - 15:00 | Hunt’s Photo, Melrose, 100 Main St., Melrose, MA, 02176, United States
Too often we feel that our photography comes to a halt during inclement weather. However, there is ample opportunity to make use of our creativity while staying indoors. Many household items, cut flowers, books, antiques, jewelry, and glassware all make for wonderful subjects while using natural window light. Every table in your house can become a landscape of opportunity with some imagination and creativity.
In our Holiday Macro & Tabletop workshop, we will specialize in creating holiday-themed macro images. Who doesn’t want to spruce up their holiday cards with a beautifully exposed and composed holiday-themed macro photograph?? At the end of the workshop, our goal is to have each photographer leave with a beautiful print. We will spend our day creating a variety of still life set ups, unique macro scenarios, and learning about the use of light and light modifiers, all with a holiday spin!
A Very Special Printing Addition!
As an additional bonus to our workshop, Hunt’s Photo Education will also be making some prints! Each attendee will have the ability to pick out an image they produce from the day and have it printed as a holiday card on Moab’s Entrada Folding Cards. Our Education Team will be printing these throughout the afternoon and will guide attendees through the basic print process in Lightroom.

Hunt's Portrait Walk: Portrait Lighting Bootcamp
2019-01-12 09:00 - 17:00 | Hunt’s Photo, Melrose, 100 Main St., Melrose, MA, 02176, United States
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for our Portrait Lighting Bootcamp, where we will workshop portraits using practical lighting options. Lighting can be intimidating, whether using a speedlight on camera (or off) or a studio strobe. Our goal is to get each attendee more comfortable with the basics of lighting, demonstrate how and why to set up lights in certain ways, and how to create stunning portraits with these lights.
In the workshop, we will create three basic setups with models at each location: Creative lighting portraits; corporate head shots; and full-length portraits. We will utilize both studio strobes and speedlights in order to get you comfortable with using both.
Most importantly, attendees will be guiding the setup (and take down) of all the gear. This allows for more hands-on working with everything involved with studio lighting, from the light to the light stand to the background.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own gear, but we will begin with gear that anyone can use, including:
-Elinchrom Strobes
-Speedlights (both brand–Nikon, Canon, Sony– and non-brand specific–Phottix, etc.)
-Phottix & Pocket Wizard Radio Triggers
-Sekonic Lightmeters
-Tethering capabilities for applicable cameras
What to bring:
-Camera with fully charged battery
-Memory cards
-For lenses, consider bringing lenses between 50mm and 100mm. Prime lenses with low apertures are a great option, but zoom lenses that fit this range will also work fine.
-You are welcome to bring your own speedlights and triggers, but we will begin the day using generic options.
Layout of the day:
9am- Introductions, brief presentation on lighting, camera setup,
10:30am- Demoing of setups
11:30am- Short lunch break
12-4pm- Photographing with models. We will have about 4 hours in three setups.

One emphasis of this walk is to embrace technology! Because tripods and monopods are not allowed, the focus of this walk will be to maximize quality in low-light situations. We will discuss on this walk how to do this and how to photograph the spaces and artwork within the museum. Please note: Rules and regulations pertaining to photography IN the MFA must be followed at all times.
We will meet at the MFA ticket booth. Your class fee includes entrance to the museum.

The industrial revolution changed our country, and the world, forever. The Charles River Museum of Industry is currently housed in what is considered the first ever factory in America. In Waltham, the closed factory now plays the role of housing a history of the tools and machinery used in industry. This walk is an excellent chance to photograph the grit of the previous centuries under the Industrial Revolution, and is a chance to work in low-light environments where the lighting sources cannot be controlled and focus on macro photography.
For the bulk of the time, we will explore the interior of the museum, looking for images that tell the significant historic story they offer. If weather allows, we will also photograph on the exterior of the location. Join us for a creative day of looking into the past!

Hunt's Photo Workshop: Using On-Camera Filters, ft. Fan Pier, Boston
2019-05-04 13:00 - 20:30 | Hunt’s Photo, Melrose, 100 Main St., Melrose, MA, 02176, United States
In the age of film photography, filters were used to great effect. Because darkrooms were less accessible for editing (than editing in the digital age), filters were used to “get it right in camera”. Despite all the editing programs available today, it is still best to “get it right in camera”, and certain filters still produce vastly superior effects that cannot be achieved by post-processing alone.
Join Hunt’s Photo Educators Rick Berk and Emily Hojnowski for a hands-on photography workshop designed to help attendees create better images by utilizing long-exposure. We will start with a classroom session explaining the different filter types and their uses, as well as examples of when and why to use them. Circular Polarizers, Neutral Density Filters, and ND Graduated Filters will all be covered. At about 3:30pm we will break and reconvene at Fan Pier in Boston at 4:30pm to put into practice the filters and techniques. We will conclude the walk around 8:30pm.
We will have some Benro Neutral Density and Circular Polarizing filters on-hand for attendees to use in order to test the techniques discussed in the class. If attendees are interested in purchasing filters to use during the event, we will be offering a discount on them the day of the workshop.

If you are attending this walk, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the walk. However, be advised we will be meeting at Hunt’s Photo, Melrose at the time listed. We will be traveling separately to Fan Pier in Boston. We will not need to return to Melrose and will conclude the workshop around 8:30pm in Boston.

Hunt's Photo Walk: Port of Galilee and Judith Point Light
2019-05-04 15:00 - 20:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education on a late-afternoon/evening walk of the Port of Galilee & Point Judith Lighthouse. The walk will begin at 3:00pm and conclude at 9pm. On the walk, we will discuss Exposure, Subject Development, Image Composition, HDR, Black & White Photography and more. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
The Port of Galilee is a small fishing village located in Narragansett, Rhode Island, but this small village holds the largest fishing fleet in the entire state! Because of this, the Port of Galilee is a fascinating, weathered and textured area for photography. We will begin the walk photographing in and around the port, then move toward the Point Judith Lighthouse for sunset.

If you are attending this walk, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the walk. However, be advised we will be meeting at 3pm in the general vicinity of the Port of Galilee. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.
