Editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic- Hunt's Photo, Providence
2021-09-28 18:00 - 20:00, 2021-09-21 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
In this course, we use specifically Adobe Lightroom Classic. (See below for more information.)
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.
Instructor: Mike Rice
Class Size: 6 attendees
Course Description
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 a course that helps answer many of these questions. 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.
We’ll begin by discussing 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. We’ll then dive into Color, Curves, Contrast & Clarity & Texture. These changes will help make your images pop. Finally, we’ll discuss advanced editing, including Sharpening, HDR, Pano stitching and more.
This class is strongly recommended for anyone either looking to just get started with editing or looking to fine-tune their editing skills!
An important note about this course! There are now a few different versions of Adobe Lightroom right now. This course is specifically on Adobe Lightroom Classic. The other version of Lightroom, commonly known as “Adobe Lightroom CC” (yes, we understand you may be confused by this) is a more mobile and cloud-based program. The look and feel of the program is completely different– This course is specifically on Adobe Lightroom Classic. (See graphic on the right.) If you are unsure, feel free to email us at classes@huntsphoto.com. Important: If you are taking this course, make sure to download/update the program in advance, as you will not be able to download the program at the store. Older versions, such as Lightroom 5 or 6, are also acceptable, though not all functions will be available.

Hunt's Photo Nifty Fifty Workshop: The North End
2021-09-27 19:00 - 21:00, 2021-09-23 17:00 - 20:00
Walk: Thursday, September 23rd, 5-8pm • Boston, MA
Image Review: Monday, September 27th, 7-9pm • Online!

Working in the field with only a 50mm lens!
Followed by an image review & critique
Recommended prerequisite: Working knowledge of your camera We also recommend having some of the knowledge from our Beginner Photography class
Must have a 50mm lens
All Skill Levels Welcome
Instructor: Emily Hojnowski
Class Size: Maximum 8 attendees

About the Nifty Fifty Workshops
Every photographer at one point or another has the internal struggle before going to photograph: What lenses should I bring with me today? The common answer is as many as I can without being too uncomfortable. And so we pack up our wide, standard, telephoto, prime, and macro lenses and head out into the field, forcing ourselves to endure limitless choices while sacrificing simplicity.
Our Nifty Fifty workshops flip the script and force you to only carry one lens: A 50mm lens, nostalgically referred to as a “nifty fifty”. With limitations, what can you– the photographer, the creator, the artist– achieve?
These workshops will start with our basic photo walk, where we will meet in the field and work with only a 50mm lens in a specific location. Attendees will then submit a handful of images for an online image review, to be held a few days later. During that image review, we will be able to see others’ work, discuss how to achieve different effects, and consider editing choices. This is an excellent workshop for all photographers–from Beginner to Advanced–because it forces you to work in a different way.
Walk Description
For this workshop, we will be photographing in one of Boston’s most notable neighborhoods, and its oldest: The North End. This tightly knit area is known as “Little Italy” given the prominent Italian-American influence and population found here. Quaint eateries, fine restaurants, and historic locations are characteristics that make the North End one of Boston’s premier destinations, and also make it a rewarding location for photographers of every skill level, all using that lovely 50mm glass.
*Question: Are other prime lenses acceptable? Olympus/Panasonic users may use a 25mm lens, since it gives the same look as a 50mm and other primes can be used as an alternative, but we ask that you try to keep it at one prime in as close to that range as possible. Remember- this is a “nifty fifty” workshop, not a “mighty ninety” workshop. (And does that even really rhyme?)

Advanced Videography- Hunt's Photo, Providence

Hunt’s Photo, Providence
Requirements: Interchangeable lens DSLR or mirrorless camera with video functionality, manual control. High-end camcorders with full manual control acceptable.
Instructor: Video Specialist Nick Froment
Class Size: Up to 10 attendees
Course Description
Filmmaking on camcorders and interchangeable lens cameras has become a very niche market. There are important camera settings to consider, accessories to connect, tripods, monitors, cages and gadgets to attach, as well as microphones, lighting, and more – not to mention the importance of composition and content!
Our two-part Intro to Filmmaking course helps open doors to the filmmaking process by discussing all of these elements and more. Where our Video for Photographers class covers mostly the basics of settings, this course is designed as a survey of all those things required in making a cinematic film. Whether you’re looking to break into filming weddings, creating music videos, or even documentaries, this course will show you everything you need to get started.
In our first session, we’ll cover basic settings, initial camera setup (including resolution, frame rates, and codecs), and basic composition & cinematography. In-between the two sessions will be an assignment to test out what we learned in week one. In our second session, we’ll dive into refining our product by discussing lighting, external audio, focusing, rigs, monitors, and more.
These classes are an excellent way to get started in the world of filmmaking!

All Skill Levels Welcome
Instructor: Emily Hojnowski
Class Size: 8 attendees
Class Description
Learning about photography can be a real challenge. There are so many pieces to the puzzle of photography, some of which use confusing terminology. And while we also offer other wonderful Beginner Photography classes to get you started, nothing is truly the same as hands-on in-the-field! It’s important to fully understand the “why” and “how” of your camera settings.
In this outdoor, hands-on class, you’ll learn all about the basics of photography. We will discuss Exposure (how light works with the camera), the Big Three Settings (Aperture, Shutter Speed, & ISO), how they affect your picture and how to set them, and what mode to set it to on your camera! We’ll discuss changing depth-of-field (controlling what’s in focus in the background), stopping or blurring the action in your scene, and many other basic picture-taking techniques. This will be an excellent opportunity to learn about your camera in a fun and safe environment! Join us to strengthen your photographic knowledge!
In this session of Beginner Photography in the Field…
…we will be going to Boston Common & Gardens. The Boston Common and the Garden area have a multitude of subjects to photograph. From rolling greens and water to statues, plants, & flowers, the Common is an excellent meet with a friend, go for a walk, take in the scenery, or, in this case, learn about photography. The variety of subject matter, interesting textures, and wonderful angles and compositions can all lead to terrific photographs. Bring your camera and your enthusiasm to learn all about photography in a hands-on, real-life environment!

Online: Personal Vision Series- Life in Motion- Creative Use of Shutter Speeds
2021-09-22 19:00 - 20:00
Presentation: Wednesday September 22nd, 7-8pm • Online!
Image Review/Critique: Wednesday September 29th, 7-9pm • Online!
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 Life in Motion. We will have an instructional online presentation on the first date and will reconvene for our Image Review on the second date. 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: Multi-Session Series- Editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic
2021-09-22 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!
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. Make sure to save this information. We will also send a reminder email about 24 hours prior to the class time with that same information.

During each class, you are welcome to type in questions in the Question box if you have specific questions as they are asked. We will do our best to answer those questions, but if not, feel free to ask them at the end.
“You Are Being Recorded” (And Other Note Related Items)
We will be recording this class! The video will be available for download about 24-hours after the class for all attendees, so don’t worry about taking unending notes. We will send this link attendees to download and rewatch at any time. In addition to this, we will generally send out a PDF of the presentation (when applicable) and handouts on the topic. If handouts and PDFs are included, we will send it out with the link for the video.

Intro to Landscape Photography- Hunt's Photo, Providence
2021-09-19 08:00 - 11:00
Recommended prerequisite:
Basic understanding of Aperture, Shutter, ISO & Exposure helps
Beginner Photography understanding
Class Level: Beyond Basic, but all skill levels welcome
Instructor: Mike Rice
Course Description
Landscapes are one of the most easily accessible subjects to photographers. They are all around us and anyone can capture them. But landscapes can also be frustrating to capture, as we are often presented with high contrast scenes that can be difficult to capture in a single exposure. This class is essential for anyone who likes to get outside with their camera and capture what they see around them. We’ll cover a little bit of everything, from composition to handling exposure, to various tools that help bring out the most in your images of the world around you.
Please note: This class is a lecture-based seminar. It’s going to be very informative, instructive, and most importantly, a lot of fun for anyone interested in learning or improving upon Landscape Photography! However, it is lecture-based and not out in the field. This class is a great follow-up or lead-in to our Hunt’s Photo Walks!
Updated COVID-19 Policies on Masks and Social Distancing
Hunt’s Photo Education is aligning with CDC and state guidelines. We strongly recommend, but will no longer require face masks for our indoor classes. All of our instructors will be wearing masks until further notice. We also ask that you maintain social distance of 6 feet from one another.

Friday, September 17th, 5-9pm • Cambridge, MA
Recommended prerequisite:
We recommend you take this class if you have a DSLR or mirrorless camera
“Bridge” cameras are also acceptable
All Skill Levels Welcome
Instructor: Emily Hojnowski
Class Size: 8 attendees

Class Description
Learning about photography can be a real challenge. There are so many pieces to the puzzle of photography, some of which use confusing terminology. And while we also offer other wonderful Beginner Photography classes to get you started, nothing is truly the same as hands-on in-the-field! It’s important to fully understand the “why” and “how” of your camera settings.
In this outdoor, hands-on class, you’ll learn all about the basics of photography. We will discuss Exposure (how light works with the camera), the Big Three Settings (Aperture, Shutter Speed, & ISO), how they affect your picture and how to set them, and what mode to set it to on your camera! We’ll discuss changing depth-of-field (controlling what’s in focus in the background), stopping or blurring the action in your scene, and many other basic picture-taking techniques. This will be an excellent opportunity to learn about your camera in a fun and safe environment! Join us to strengthen your photographic knowledge!
In this session of Beginner Photography in the Field…
…we will be going to the Zakim Bridge from Cambridge to Boston. Boston and Cambridge are vibrant, colorful cities after dark. Despite the limitations of darkness there is still great detail and color to be captured through your lenses. Our walk will take us along the Charles River to the Zakim Bridge. During this session of Beginner Photography in the Field, you will learn about photography in the field at the Zakim Bridge and surrounding areas during blue hour, sunset, and civil twilight. This is a classic location and a terrific chance to learn about long-exposures. If you’re a beginner and you also want to learn about how to shoot in low-light and night situations, this is a great opportunity! (Honestly, it’s really a great opportunity for ANYONE that’s a beginner!) Bring your camera and your enthusiasm to learn all about photography in a hands-on, real-life environment!
And yes, you’ll end up with images in the end like those you see here.

Video Basics- Hunt's Photo, Providence
2021-09-13 18:00 - 20:00
Hunt’s Photo, Providence
Recommended prerequisite: Prior knowledge of photography and ownership of a camera with interchangeable lenses and video functionality.
Instructor: Video Specialist Nick Froment
Class Size: Up to 10 attendees
Course Description
Photographers everywhere love that digital cameras have the capability of creating “videos”. But what important settings are there? How can I take full advantage of my camera that has 4K 60fps, and what am I even saying when I say those words??? I just want to make a great video- what do I need to know?!
Well, fret no more! Video for Photographers is geared for…primarily photographers that want to use their camera for occasional videos! This is the class that is going to give you insight into the basic settings and why to set them; how to take full advantage of the best qualities of your camera, and leaves a lot of the higher-end technical stuff out of the picture.
In this jam-packed course, we’ll cover basic camera settings (some of which you’re used to from still photography); basic menu settings such as frame rates, resolution, and codecs; framing, composition, and cinematography basics. The goal of this course is to send you on your way much more confident about how to set up your next video.
A clear difference: This class is not necessarily geared toward someone that is looking to branch into filmmaking (though it couldn’t hurt). This class is geared towards the photographer that wants to make casual videos. If you are a still photographer looking to branch into video to enhance your portfolio, our Intro to Filmmaking class is a more advanced and challenging class that will dig deeper into many of these concepts. But hey, you can always take both classes!
Please Note: A Slight Change to COVID-19 Policies on Masks and Social Distancing
Until further notice, we will be requiring masks for our indoor classes. We also ask that you socially distance whenever possible.

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.
