Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a photo walk at the historic Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, Massachusetts. This walk will have an emphasis on storytelling with lots of opportunities for environmental portraits, macro, landscape, and low light photography, all under the guise of a 17th century New England settlement.
Founded more than 65 years ago, Plimoth Plantation is a living history museum that depicts the life and culture of America’s first settlers in the 17th century. The settlement is complete with houses, gardens, animals, and pilgrims that live and speak just as if it was 1627. The grounds, homes, and settlers make for wonderful studies in light, architecture, detail, and portraiture. Also on the property is a full Native American settlement as well. The Wampanoag’s were native to Plymouth before the arrival of our first settlers and the story of their lives, and how it mixed with the Pilgrims, is on display as well. Plimoth Plantation is a vital look into the lives of our ancestors and the growth of America.
Please note: Any photographs taken cannot have commercial use without written consent from Plimoth Plantation.

Join Hunt’s Photo Education for our new Postcard Series of Photo Walks. Our Postcard Series are shorter Photo Walks and focused in concept. While our normal walks are 3-5 hours, our Postcard series are generally shorter (about 2 hours) and focused on photographing one subject. This one subject is generally that “Postcard Image”, a unique and distinct looking photograph that everyone loves to have in their portfolio. These walks are excellent for beginners, as you’re able to concentrate and fine-tune, as well as intermediate photographers looking for a quick and fun walk. Less walking, more photographing!
For this “Postcard Walk”, we will be visiting the newly lit up 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. We will spend a good deal of time photographing the Longfellow Bridge from numerous angles and at different times of the evening. We will make use of evening light, civil twilight, and night time. 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. However, please be advised we will be meeting in Cambridge. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. Our follow-up email will detail any of those minor changes.

2019-11-03 13:30 - 17:30
The city of Lawrence, Massachusetts is home to a significant Winter Crow Roost, starting with 100-200 crows in early September to over 25,000 by the new year. Join Hunt’s Photo Education’s Ron Phillips and local birder Craig Gibson for a unique Photo Walk that will observe the bigger picture of the Crows of Lawrence, as they gather and circle, leading into and just after sunset.
We will begin at 1:30pm in Lawrence to discuss much of the basis of what we will expect to see, settings for our cameras and some test shots in the area. By mid-afternoon, we will get into position and begin photographing, and continue until we lose the majority of our working light. During this time, hundreds of crows will gather in “pre-roost” locations, finally converging about an hour after sunset. The sight is magnificent to behold!
This is not your typical birding photo walk, but it is very unique and can yield spectacular imagery. Our co-leader, Craig Gibson, has done extensive research with this roost, including extensive documentation over the past years. Craig has a breadth of knowledge and boundless enthusiasm on the subject.

Hunt’s Photo Workshop: Using On-Camera Filters, ft. Nubble Light
2019-10-26 11:00 - 18:30
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 Education’s Don Toothaker & Ron Phillips for a hands-on photography workshop designed to help attendees create better images by utilizing long-exposure. We will start with a classroom session (location TBD) 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. After the classroom session, we will break and reconvene at Nubble Light to put into practice the filters and techniques. We will conclude the walk around 6:30pm.
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 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 in York, Maine. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.

Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a very unique walk, using Lensbaby lenses at Mt. Auburn Cemetery, followed by an image review at Hunt’s Photo in Melrose. This walk is our first Photo Walk specifically geared towards using ONLY Lensbaby lenses!
Mt. Auburn Cemetery is one of Boston’s most beautiful green spaces. This large, rolling parcel of land was America’s first garden-style cemetery. The historical 174-acre cemetery serves as a final resting place for the deceased, but it is also an arboretum full of flowers, flowering trees, colorful shrubs, architecture, and wildlife. We will be going to the Cemetery in the heart of fall and should expect a good level of color.
On this walk, we will specifically only be using Lensbaby lenses. For those unfamiliar, Lensbaby is a company that makes creative effects lenses, optics and accessories that accentuate selective focus and other stylistic effects. Lensbaby has a certain look, but they also take time to learn how to use. For this reason, we’ve developed a Photo Walk devoted entirely to Lensbaby. We will have Lensbaby lenses available to use, but you are also welcome to bring your own, if you have one. Mt. Auburn Cemetery has an excellent variety of landscape and details that accentuate the capabilities of these lenses.
After the walk, we will continue back to our store in Melrose where we will host a 1-hour image review. Attendees will submit a few select images and we will be able to discuss what worked and how we could improve in the future. This image review will also coincide with our annual Hunt’s Show, which you are welcome to attend after the image review!
