Lightroom to Photoshop and Back Again- Hunt's Photo, Melrose
2019-01-06 11:00 - 15:00 | Hunt’s Photo, Melrose, 100 Main St., Melrose, MA, 02176, United States
Hunt’s Photo Education often promotes the idea of using Adobe Lightroom for most basic editing, as the program’s interface for editing multiple images is fairly intuitive and is designed specifically for photographers. Lightroom can do quite a bit, but there are times when Adobe Photoshop can do a better job. But where can we benefit from using Photoshop as opposed to Lightroom?
Our course, Lightroom to Photoshop and Back Again, does exactly what the title says, by starting in Lightroom, then bringing images into Photoshop, and then sending them back to Lightroom. We will begin by making basic changes to the images in Lightroom, then bring them to Photoshop to fine-tune them and make the corrections that we either cannot make in Lightroom or ones that would be easier or better quality to make in Photoshop. Since Lightroom functions as an organizer as well as an editor, we will finish by bringing the images back into Lightroom.
In this course we will learn:
•When and why to use PS over LR
•What are Layers?
•Basic Photoshop workflow
•Removing objects
•Basic adjustments
•Adding text
We recommend bringing a laptop for this class with Adobe Lightroom CC Classic and Adobe Photoshop CC installed. Please be advised: Lightroom CC Classic and Photoshop CC are the only versions we recommend for this class. Please make sure they are both downloaded and make sure you can open them prior to arriving. Also, please be advised that Adobe Photoshop Elements and older versions of Photoshop have very different layouts and will not translate as well for this class.

2018-12-29 16:00 - 20:00, 2018-12-08 16:00 - 20:00
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 Photo Adventure: Cuba- Real & Raw
2018-12-02 - 2018-12-11
Simply put, Cuba is like no other place on earth. The spellbinding history from the early Carribean-Spanish explorers to the mid- twentieth century reads like a legendary novel. Life for the Cuban people changed dramatically in the 1960’s. It’s as if the country was placed in a time capsule for fifty years and suddenly emerged, opening the doors to all who wish to explore. One can certainly feel the complexities of Cuba’s history and the strength of those who call it their home. The music makes you dance and the arts convey the struggles and triumphs. The ranchers are as rugged as the untouched land and the cigars are worth the trip alone. Cuba is absolutely fascinating.
Hunt’s Photo and Don Toothaker want to welcome guest instructor Laura L. Gingerich to this photography workshop. We plan to challenge you to slow down, think, observe, anticipate and feel each and every shot. Our days will be full of photographic opportunities, instruction and discussion as we experience a very unique look into the heart and soul of Cuba.
***Our Cuba Adventure for December is officially sold out! However, we have future trips there that can be found at this link!***
