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.

Capture to Print: Flowers and Macro ft. the Stevens-Coolidge Place
2019-05-18 08:00 - 17:00
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.
On this Capture to Print workshop, we will begin at the Stevens-Coolidge Place in North Andover, which has beautifully maintained grounds, a rose garden, and a greenhouse. During this time, we will photograph flowers, working to get the best quality images in preparation for editing and printing. After photographing, we will return to Hunt’s Photo in Melrose and transition 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.

Lighting with Speedlights: Outdoor Portraits using Flash
2019-06-01 13:00 - 20:00
Many people know how to take an adequate portrait in natural light, but how can we integrate flash into the mix and why is it important? How can we turn a drab, overcast day into something with a little pop? How can we counter harsh shadows on a bright and sunny day and still get worthwhile shots? Your flash can be the answer, and it opens up a world of creativity once you understand how to set it, modify it, and integrate it into your portraits!
Our Outdoor Portraits Using Flash workshop will cover these questions by discussing, demonstrating, and then practicing with models how to effectively use your flash outdoors in some basic ways. In this workshop, we will work with flash both on the camera and off the camera with triggers. For those applicable cameras, we will begin to work with high speed sync.
We will begin photographing in normal afternoon light and work our way into the evening to demonstrate the effect
Integrating flash into outdoor portraits is an excellent way to liven up your portraits.
Attendees are also encouraged to bring their own gear, but we will begin with gear that anyone can use, including:
-A Variety of brands of Speedlights
-Phottix & Pocket Wizard Triggers
-Westcott & Phottix Softboxes
-Rogue Flashbender products
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:
1pm- Introductions, brief presentation/discussion on exposure & speedlights, camera setup
2pm- Demoing shooting
3-7pm- Photographing with models. We will have this time to photograph models, split into multiple groups.

Hunt's Photo Walk: Piers Park, East Boston
2019-08-02 19:00 - 22:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a photo walk at Piers Park in East Boston. During the walk, we will discuss shooting in lower light with an emphasis on night photography. This will include assistance with exposure, composition, focusing, use of tripods, and a myriad of other settings and concepts!
Much of East Boston consists of dense residential neighborhoods, in part as a carryover from the area’s heavy influx of immigration at the turn of the previous century, and in part to its proximity to downtown Boston. Piers Park was developed in the mid-1990s as a contrast to this, offering beautiful landscaping, natural vegetation, and stunning views of downtown Boston. On this walk, we will photograph the grounds of Piers Park and the skyline during blue hour, sunset, and civil twilight. Photographers of all levels are welcome!

If you are attending this walk, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the walk. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.

Personal Vision Shootout: Redcoats & Rebels at Olde Sturbridge Village
2019-08-03 09:00 - 17:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a Personal Vision Shootout at Olde Sturbridge Village. This comprehensive walk is geared toward intermediate and advanced photographers. During the walk, we will “strengthen your photographic muscles” by challenging you to work outside of your comfort zone while also developing cohesion in the photographic work you produce.
Located an hour west of Boston, Sturbridge Village is a proud replication of an 18th century New England town. Sturbridge Village is a living history museum that features many authentic period buildings and homes to explore and enjoy. The village is also inhabited by re-enactors who provide colorful insight to life in New England during the 18th century. Sturbridge Village is a wonderful destination for a multitude of photographic opportunities as well as a glimpse into a bygone era.
Our emphasis for the weekend will be on the OSV event Redcoats and Rebels. For the weekend, Olde Sturbridge Village will be turned into a military camp from the Revolutionary Period. We will work to document the fine details of the uniforms, the camps, the personalities, and the stories of this period of history. This will a complex task, and as part of our Personal Vision Shootout, we will have a working assignment as part of our visit for the day. This will be a fun and challenging day with many unique photographic possibilities!
Please note: the cost of your ticket includes the cost of your admission to Olde Sturbridge Village.

Hunt's & Tamron Photo Walk: The Zakim Bridge
2019-08-08 18:30 - 22:30
Join Hunt’s Photo & Tamron lenses for a special photo walk that involves classroom & in-field instruction, as well as the ability to use some awesome lenses supplied by Tamron.
We will begin at 6:30pm at Hunt’s Photo in Melrose with Tamron photographer Jillian Bell as she will explain her techniques for capturing stunning images through the night and onto the first light of the morning. This lecture will take out some of the mystery of night photography by covering topics such as knowing your camera, proper exposure, and most importantly, equipment and lens needs. After the presentation, we will separately travel to put what you’ve learned to use by photographing at the Zakim Bridge in Cambridge.
This seminar and photo walk are sponsored by Tamron, who will also be providing lenses for Nikon, Canon, and Sony shooters. Take advantage of the savings and the lenses!
Tamron sales Rep Andrew Martin and Jillian will also be in our Melrose store from 1-5pm that day to answer any questions you may have about Tamron lenses.

Hunt's Photo Walk: Horn Pond in the Evening
2019-08-09 18:00 - 21:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we explore Horn Pond’s 102-acre body of water along the Aberjona River in Woburn, Massachusetts. On this walk, we will emphasize landscape, wildlife, and macro photography, all in the evening light, as we encounter birds, flowers and more! We will work on creative imagery, utilizing the color of the season, but also discuss black & white photography and techniques such as panning & zooming to create a dramatic and fine art effect. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend!
Horn Pond is a wonderfully scenic area, offering many outdoor activities such as hiking and bike riding. These same trails are an excellent place to explore many types of photographic opportunities, emphasizing nature, landscape, and macro. On many of our walks, the quality of day can positively or negatively affect how our images turn out. On this walk, we will emphasize making the best out of any situation, whether cloudy, sunny or rainy (well, not too rainy). Bring your creative thoughts!
We recommend having both a standard zoom lens and telephoto zoom lens, preferably one that will go to 200mm or above.
Please note: There will be a good amount of walking on this Photo Walk. Nothing too treacherous, but make sure to wear comfortable shoes!
