Online: Printed Vision Series- Back in Black- Printing Nightscapes
2021-07-07 19:00 - 20:00, 2021-07-21 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
Instructor: Paul Nelson
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
About The Printed Vision Series
The printed image shows our successes and our faults at a much higher level of detail than the digital image. To become better photographers, it helps to understand this by creating the printed image as a final product, which is the purpose behind the Printed Vision Series.
Each Printed Vision topic will meet for two sessions. In the first session, we will discuss the topic and elaborate on editing with examples. This will include discussion of exposure, dynamic range and color, but also deeper points, such as noise reduction, image sharpening and grain. In between sessions 1 and 2, attendees will independently process 1-2 images and submit them to the instructor for printing. We will print one of the two images leading into the second session and discuss some of the challenges we face in printing them.
You do not need to produce a new image for this class and can go into your archives to print, but you are welcome to go out into the field and create something new based on the topic!
This Month’s Printed Vision Session: Printing Nightscapes
Nightscapes can be some of the most beautiful images when printed. They possess not only deep, rich blacks that shine through on the paper, but also high levels of contrast and can also present an incredible level of rich color. There’s a lot to be proud of when hanging a Nightscape on our wall!
In this session, we will delve into printing nightscapes, including different paper options, what details to look for when choosing an image, and elements of image processing. Specifically, we’ll look at details such image sharpening, noise reduction, grain, exposure, and color management. Our instructional online presentation will be held on July 7th from 7-8pm and we will reconvene for our Printed Image Review on July 21st from 7-8:30pm. You will have that time period in between to photograph and/or edit your images. In the end, you will receive a 12×18″ print on fine art paper. (Please note: The cost of a 12×18 or 13×19 print on fine art paper is $35-$40; the cost of this class includes the cost of that print!)
The Printed Vision classes are an excellent opportunity to learn more about not only about printing, but also the processing of images at a much more focused level. Recommended for everyone: Beginners to Advanced Photographers. Come join us for a lot of fun!

Online: Personal Vision Series- Pieces of Things

Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we help grow your knowledge, creativity, and artistic expression with our expanded Personal Vision Series. These classes are designed to provide you time, opportunity, and guidance in shaping your creative photographic voice. We will give an overview on a specific topic in an online class session, then give you time to go into the field by yourself (or with someone else, if you choose) to complete an assignment based on that topic. We will reconvene a few days later for an online image review to discuss elements of your images.
The Personal Vision Series is a crossroads of many different ideas that we offer with Hunt’s Photo Education: Topic-based instruction/classes, Photo Walks, & Image Reviews. However, unlike a Photo Walk where we will all take a certain direction, for the “Walk” portion, you will be asked to journey out on your own to photograph. This will cause you to be the driving force of your creativity and vision!
This week’s topic is Pieces of Things. We will have an instructional online presentation on March 11th from 7-8pm and will reconvene for our Image Review on March 18th from 7-9pm. You will have that time period in between to photograph and edit our assignment.
Your personal creative voice is critical to your growth as a photographer and as an artist. Join us for to help grow that voice!

Online: Beyond the Basics- Low Light and Night Photography
2021-07-20 19:00 - 20:30
Recommended prerequisite:
Basic understanding of Aperture, Shutter, ISO & What Exposure is
Beginner Photography understanding
Instructor: Emily Hojnowski

Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
After learning “the basics” of digital photography, become more comfortable in the world of digital photography by taking the next step.
Night Photography requires patience and creative vision. Despite the limitations of darkness there is still great detail and color to be captured through your lenses. Low light photography is equally challenging, but requires a completely different set of techniques. This course specifically covers these two very different yet aesthetically beautiful types of photography. While our Beginner class scratches the surface of these functions, this Beyond the Basics class covers the following topics in Low-Light and Night Photography:
• Exposure, Focusing, Settings, Subject Matter, and Gear
• RAW vs. Jpeg shooting
• Aperture Priority vs. Manual
• Live View and Manual Focus
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.

Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Class description
Ever since the beginning of photography, photographers have been battling dynamic range. There is no photographic media that can capture the full tonal range that our eyes can see. Thanks to the digital world we can now create full tonal images through HDR. HDR imagery is the process of capturing multiple images at various exposures (bracketing) and then using software to combine these images to create a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image. Join Lewis Kemper to learn how to use HDR to create realistic dynamic full tonal range images.
About Lewis: LEWIS KEMPER is widely recognized as a photographer, writer, and instructor, lecturing throughout the United States. He currently is a Contributing Editor to Outdoor Photographer. His books include “Ancient Ancestors of the Southwest”, published by Graphic Arts Center Publishing; “Capturing the Light”, which won the People’s Choice Awards in Fine Art in the 2009 Photography.Book.Now competition; and “Photographing Yosemite Digital Field Guide”, which was voted in the top 20 field guides. Lewis’ training videos have been used by thousands of photographers, helping them with their photographic and post-processing skills. Lewis is currently a “Tamron Ambassador.” You can visit his website at www.lewiskemper.com

If for some reason you cannot attend one of the sessions, don’t worry! They will be recorded and you will be able to watch them at your leisure!
Our Multi-Session Series is designed to “keep the conversation going” by engaging with our attendees in a more personal way. In each of these classes, we will have 10-15 attendees and provide direct feedback on images. We encourage photographers of all skill levels to consider these classes, as they will build upon your experience and provide an excellent chance to work on your imagery!
Landscape Photography
Landscape photography is one of the most easily accessible genres of photography and is enjoyed by many. What does it take to create a landscape image that stands out? Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we go beyond “F8 and be there” and dive deep into the technical, artistic, and practical aspects of landscape photography.
In week one, we’ll cover what it takes to plan and the settings necessary for your best shots. We’ll also talk about the gear all landscape photographers should have in their bags and what to do when the weather just won’t cooperate. In week two, we’ll edit landscape images from start to finish using Adobe Lightroom Classic. By week three, we’ll discuss composition, dynamic range, depth of field, and focus. We’ll also discuss when to shoot in color and when to shoot in black and white. In our last week, we’ll cover shooting and editing HDR images and panorama images in Adobe Lightroom Classic. We’ll also cover shooting landscapes at night as well as astrolandscapes. Each week, Emily will give an assignment to hone your new skills and each student will receive individualized critiques. Emily is also available to answer any questions along the way.
Join us for this fun and unique multi-session series that will help you develop your skills with landscapes!

Online: Multi-Session Series- Editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic
2021-08-03 18:30 - 20:30, 2021-08-10 18:30 - 20:30, 2021-08-17 18:30 - 20:30, 2021-09-15 18:30 - 20:30
Recommended prerequisite: This class is solely on editing and processing your images in Lightroom. We recommend having understanding of how file organization in Lightroom works, so we recommend our online File Management in Lightroom course prior to taking this class.
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for our new Multi-Session Series. In our Multi-Session Series, we will meet over the course of a number of weeks, generally at the same time each week. During that time, we will discuss a specific element of a topic and end the session by giving a photographic assignment. That assignment will be due for completion before the next class meeting, and we will review those images at the start of the next session. If for some reason you cannot attend one of the sessions, don’t worry! They will be recorded and you will be able to watch them at your leisure!
Our Multi-Session Series is designed to “keep the conversation going” by engaging with our attendees in a more personal way. In each of these classes, we will have limited attendees and provide direct feedback on images. We encourage photographers of all skill levels to consider these classes, as they will build upon your experience and provide an excellent chance to work on your imagery!
Editing in Adobe Lightroom
This is a great opportunity to build up your editing skills in Lightroom!
Adobe Lightroom is the choice program for professionals and amateurs, with ever-growing capabilities and options. However, there are many levels to understanding in the program. What do we do to make basic changes? Once we learn those changes, how can we “step it up” and figure out what to we’re supposed to do? How do we make images pop? And finally, how do we put it all together and making finishing touches to our images.
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for this three-week course that helps answer many of these questions. What’s most important about this course is that we will give weekly editing assignments, and we will review those edits at the start of the following week. Often, Lightroom users struggle with the inability to determine what changes are “good” or “correct”. While those terms are subjective, we will help you along in the editing process to see how to make determinations along the way.
In week one, we’ll talk about file types and adjustment ranges using Basic Development controls. More than anything, we will be emphasizing global changes and understanding what can be done with an image in Lightroom. In week two, we’ll dive into Color, Curves, Contrast & Clarity & Texture. These changes will help make your images pop. Finally, in week three, we’ll discuss advanced editing, including Sharpening, HDR, Pano stitching and more.
Each week, we will give an assignment and students will upload their edited photos prior to the next class. We will, by and large, be working with your images in the class.
This class is strongly recommended for anyone either looking to just get started with editing, or to fine-tune your editing skills!

Online: The Printed Vision- Printing Landscapes
2021-08-04 19:00 - 20:00, 2021-08-18 19:00 - 20:30
Presentation: Wednesday August 4th, 7-8pm • Online!
Printed Image Review: Wednesday August 18th, 7-9pm • You can either attend the image review at our Hunt’s Photo Melrose location or watch online!
Instructor: Paul Nelson
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
About The Printed Vision Series
The printed image shows our successes and our faults at a much higher level of detail than the digital image. To become better photographers, it helps to understand this by creating the printed image as a final product, which is the purpose behind the Printed Vision Series.
Each Printed Vision topic will meet for two sessions. In the first session, we will discuss the topic and elaborate on editing with examples. This will include discussion of exposure, dynamic range and color, but also deeper points, such as noise reduction, image sharpening and grain. In between sessions 1 and 2, attendees will independently process 1-2 images and submit them to the instructor for printing. We will print one of the two images leading into the second session and discuss some of the challenges we face in printing them.
You do not need to produce a new image for this class and can go into your archives to print, but you are welcome to go out into the field and create something new based on the topic!
This Month’s Printed Vision Session: Printing Landscapes
Landscapes are easily some of the most sought-after images in photography. We all have a vision of stunning landscape photographs: Sweeping clouds filled with tender gradation atop a blue sky; a path leading into a forest of lush greenery; monochrome mountains adjacent to a foreboding sky, all reflecting in a still pool of water. All of these images can evoke, but seeing a digital representation of a landscape can only present so much of an image. A photograph, when properly edited and printed, will be able to fully display the range of blues and greens or embrace the full dynamic range of black and white.
That’s where our Printed Vision class comes in. This session, we will delve into printing landscapes. We’ll discuss color management through the process of editing and also look at best practices when working with monochrome. We’ll also look at refining elements in a print, such as image sharpening and noise reduction. As always, we will discuss basic elements as well, including how to choose the appropriate image, how to properly exposure, different paper options, and more! Our instructional online presentation will be held on August 4th from 7-8pm and we will reconvene for our Printed Image Review on August 18th from 7-8:30pm. You will have that time period in between to photograph and/or edit your images. In the end, you will receive a 12×18″ print on fine art paper. (Please note: The cost of a 12×18 or 13×19 print on fine art paper is $35-$40; the cost of this class includes the cost of that print!)
The Printed Vision classes are an excellent opportunity to learn more about not only about printing, but also the processing of images at a much more focused level. Recommended for everyone: Beginners to Advanced Photographers. Come join us for a lot of fun!
Receiving Your Print
After the class, your print can either be mailed to you or picked up at one of our Hunt’s Photo store locations.

Online: Personal Vision Series- Celebrating Summer
2021-08-05 19:00 - 20:00, 2021-08-11 19:00 - 21:00
Recommended prerequisite:
Instructor: Don Toothaker
Class Size: Limited to 8 attendees
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we help grow your knowledge, creativity, and artistic expression with our expanded Personal Vision Series. These classes are designed to provide you time, opportunity, and guidance in shaping your creative photographic voice. We will give an overview on a specific topic in an online class session, then give you time to go into the field by yourself (or with someone else, if you choose) to complete an assignment based on that topic. We will reconvene a few days later for an online image review to discuss elements of your images.
The Personal Vision Series is a crossroads of many different ideas that we offer with Hunt’s Photo Education: Topic-based instruction/classes, Photo Walks, & Image Reviews. However, unlike a Photo Walk where we will all take a certain direction, for the “Walk” portion, you will be asked to journey out on your own to photograph. This will cause you to be the driving force of your creativity and vision!
This week’s topic is Celebrating Summer. We will have an instructional online presentation during our first session and will reconvene for our Image Review during our second session. You will have that time period in between to photograph and edit our assignment.
Your personal creative voice is critical to your growth as a photographer and as an artist. Join us for to help grow that voice!

About Capture to Print Workshops
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.
About this workshop
We will begin at the South Boston Waterfront, also known as the “Seaport District”. This area of constant expansion holds the beautiful ICA Boston- Institute of Contemporary Art; the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center; one of the first modern “Innovation Districts”; the Harpoon Brewery and Taproom; and many hotels and nearly one hundred restaurants. There’s so much to photograph, from architecture to people to details to long exposures and will give us an excellent, diverse body of work that we can use to find images that we want to print.
After the workshop, attendees will edit their photos on their own and upload 2-3 images to the instructors for review. We will review those edits, individually discuss your editing choices and make suggestions for additional edits, then print the images as 12×18″ on fine art paper. We will conclude the workshop the following week with a printed image review. We will hold the review in our Melrose store, but if you cannot attend this, you will also be able to watch it online. (The session will also be recorded if you cannot make it to the online session live.)
This will be a fun and challenging workshop that will walk you through the full process of creating a print, from capture to edit to print. The process of printing is integral to developing one’s photographic vision.
Receiving Your Print
After the class, your print can either be mailed to you or picked up at one of our Hunt’s Photo store locations.

This Month’s Printed Vision Session: Printing on Textured Papers
Textured papers often get the raw deal in the grand scheme of printing. After all, they are matte papers–meaning they have no reflectivity– and those tend not to be as popular as the “shiny” gloss papers. But if you like Fine-Art Printing, Textured Matte papers create a very unique look to your print. Even the names of some of these papers–William Turner, Albrect Durer, German Etching– recall some of the past masters of fine art! These papers exude a 3-dimensionality through their texture and, given the proper image and effective processing, can create an amazing fine-art print.
In this session, we will spend our time looking at what sorts of images work best on textured papers, how to process images for the best results, and what different surfaces are available. We’ll also discuss color management through the process of editing and also look at best practices when working with monochrome. Our instructional online presentation will be held on August 25th from 7-8pm and we will reconvene for our Printed Image Review on September 1st from 7-8:30pm. You will have that time period in between to photograph and/or edit your images. In the end, you will receive an 8×10″ print on fine art textured paper. (Please note: The cost of a 8×10 print on fine art textured paper is $30; the cost of this class includes the cost of that print!)
The Printed Vision classes are an excellent opportunity to learn more about not only about printing, but also the processing of images at a much more focused level. Recommended for everyone: Beginners to Advanced Photographers. Come join us for a lot of fun!

Using filters is a time-honored practice in photography. While many filters from the days of film are no longer relevant, there are many effects that are unachievable without the use of filters, even in the modern digital age! And these effects produce some of the most stunning results!
During this seminar class, we will discuss the different types of filters available for creative photography. We will also go over when and why you should use them and review how to use them. We will cover polarizing filters, neutral density filters, soft and hard-edge graduated filters, close-up filters and more! We will demonstrate with these varieties of filters, with ND and Polarizing filters courtesy of Benro filters.

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.
