Hunt’s Photo Walk: The Longfellow Bridge & Memorial Drive

Walk Description
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a night photo walk along Memorial Drive featuring the Longfellow Bridge. During the walk, we will discuss many of the aspects of photographing in low-light and at night, including exposure, focusing, composition, and more. Photographers of all levels are welcome!
The Longfellow Bridge, sometimes referred to as the “salt and pepper bridge” due to the shaker-like shape of the bridge’s pillars, connects Boston’s Beacon Hill district with Kendall Square in Cambridge. The bridge has stood for over a century, with major upgrades and renovations only occurring in the early 2010s. In late 2018, the bridge was enhanced with new LED lighting, bringing stunning new views to this unique structure. On this walk, we will spend time photographing the Longfellow Bridge from numerous angles, as well as areas along Memorial Drive, making use of evening light, civil twilight, and night time.
