Walk Description
Located an hour west of Boston, Sturbridge Village is a proud replication of an 18th century New England town. Sturbridge Village is a living history museum that features many authentic period buildings and homes to explore and enjoy. The village is also inhabited by re-enactors who provide colorful insight to life in New England during the 18th century. Sturbridge Village is a wonderful destination for a multitude of photographic opportunities as well as a glimpse into a bygone era.
Olde Sturbridge Village is perhaps one of the best places to have both a Photo Walk and a class. There’s a little bit of everything at this living history museum, from macro and closeup with fine details to architecture, from portraits to landscapes. We will photograph both indoors and outdoors, in regular light as well as very low light. We will discuss how to work with subjects to create a story, and also work on settings to fine-tune focus and exposure! This Photo Walk is one of the best opportunities to build your photographic knowledge, no matter what level. This walk is equally as beneficial as a first walk or a twentieth walk, as the area has so much to offer!
After the workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to review their images and make some edits. We will then reconvene online with an image review where we will discuss many of the factors that we discussed on the walk portion of the workshop. This workshop is an excellent opportunity to hone in on and develop your photography skills.
Join us for a great experience!
Please note: The cost of your ticket does not include entrance to Sturbridge Village. You can purchase tickets up to two weeks in advance here.

Online: Multi-Session Series- Editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic
2022-03-22 18:30 - 20:30, 2022-03-29 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.
Layout of the class
The class will begin promptly at the time listed. 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! 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.

Want to get this class after it’s been run?– We have an online store where you can purchase all our previously run classes here: https://ebay.huntsphoto.com/buy-previous-courses/
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
There are dozens of decisions to make before purchasing a lens or choosing one to add to your wishlist. Should you use a prime or zoom? Do you need a fast aperture? Why are some lenses so much more expensive? And why are some so heavy? There are even more basic questions worth addressing: What does each lens do? And there are some more complicated: Why would I want a 105mm lens vs. an 85mm lens for portraits? Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we walk you through all the things you should consider before purchasing a new lens.
Understanding more about cameras and lenses 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 what lenses should be used in different situations. It is recommended as a follow-up to our Beginner Photography course.

Multi-Session Series- Adobe Lightroom Classic- File Management & Editing- Hunt's Photo, Providence
2022-03-24 18:00 - 20:00
In this course, we use specifically Adobe Lightroom Classic. (See below for more information.)
Recommended prerequisite: A basic knowledge of computers and how to organize photos helps. Lightroom can be a challenging program. Patience is a virtue.
Instructor: Mike Rice
Class Size: 6-8 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. How do we organize our photos? 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.
This is a Multi-Session Class! In Week 1, we will begin by discussing how to organize your images for quick retrieval via keywords, ratings, and more, as well as giving a description on how to consider organizing your photos on your computer. Specifically, we will cover brief computer file management, the importance of keywords, flagging and rating photos, and searching metadata to find images. In Week 2, we’ll start with the basic adjustments 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. In Week 3, we’ll discuss advanced editing, including local adjustments, such as radial and graduated filters, and how to “finish” the image- sharpening, noise reduction, and more.
In-between each session, we will give assignments to help you become more proficient and grasp the material! This class is strongly recommended for anyone looking to further their skills with Lightroom!
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.

Online: The Printed Vision- Comparing Paper Surfaces
2022-03-24 18:00 - 20:00
Presentation: Thursday March 10th, 7-8pm • Online!
Printed Image Review: Thursday March 24th, 6-8pm • In our Hunt’s Melrose store or Online!
Recommended prerequisite: An interest in printing (But you do NOT need a printer!)
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: Comparing Paper Surfaces
What does it look like on Matte Paper? What does it look like on Glossy Paper? Why would I print it on one versus the other? What does the paper bring to my image?
In this class, we will help discuss the answers to these questions. In our instructional online presentation, we’ll discuss some of the key differences between paper surfaces and present a variety of options for you to have your image printed. Then, we will literally print the image two times so we can see the difference, getting to the root of the answers.
In the end, you will receive TWO prints of your edited image up to 13×19″ in size. (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 those prints!)
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.
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. 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.
“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.

“Everything about this class was excellent. The instructors were patient and took time to answer every question thoroughly and we were given ample time to try out the techniques we were being shown. All in all, a wonderful experience.”
“Very much liked the instructors- knowledgeable, entertaining, encouraging, not judgmental. Loved the casual nature of the class and opportunity for one-on-one discussions. Excellent for me, as a novice.”

Hunt's Photo Providence- Capture to Print: Flowers and Macro
2022-03-27 09:00 - 15:00
Sunday March 27th, 9am-3pm • Hunt’s Photo, Providence
Instructors: Mike Rice & Maddy Rizzo
Featuring hands-on macro with beautiful flowers!
Recommended prerequisite: Basic knowledge of your camera; tripod; interest in editing and printing
All Skill Levels Welcome
Group Size: Limited to 6-8 attendees

Workshop Description
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.
We will begin in our classroom with lighting setups and a variety of flowers, which we will photograph over the course of the morning. We will transition from photographing to editing in the early afternoon. Attendees are encouraged to bring their computers–laptops or all-in-ones are fine (iMacs are welcome)–in order to do their own editing. Attendees should have Adobe Lightroom and/or Photoshop, or a comparable program on their computer. We will be available to help with the processing of images during this time. We will then view these edits, critique, and discuss them with the rest of the class while also creating 13×19″ prints.
This will be a fun and challenging workshop that will walk you through the full process of creating a photograph. The process of printing is integral to developing one’s photographic vision.
Approximate schedule for the day:
9am- Introductions, discussion of lighting and macro techniques
9:30am- Photographing of flowers, macro
12pm- Begin editing (Attendees are encouraged to bring a bagged lunch and take a short break during this time)
2pm- Review, critique, and printing
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.
As always, if you are sick or feeling unwell, STAY HOME! We will gladly give you a credit towards a future class.

Online: High Standards for High ISOs
2022-03-28 19:00 - 20:30
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Have you ever heard a photographer disparage High ISOs because of their apparent inferiority? Is there really something wrong with shooting at a High ISO? What are some of the advantages and key points to consider? What are some of the ways we can edit the resulting image? What’s the deal with High ISOs?!
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we dive right into the technology and art of ISO! We’ll discuss many of the key points above and look at the high points of shooting with camera cranked to ISO 3200 (and beyond!)

The class will begin promptly at the time listed. The majority of the class–roughly 1 hour– will be a presentation on the topic, followed by a short Q&A.

Online: Sharpening Your Vision- How, When, & Why to Use Image Sharpening
2022-03-31 19:00 - 20:30
***Please note new date!***
Thursday March 31st, 7pm EST • Online!
Recommended prerequisite: We strongly recommend having a basic knowledge of Adobe Lightroom from our Editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic class
Instructor: TBD!
Want to get this class after it’s been run?– We have an online store where you can purchase all our previously run classes here: https://ebay.huntsphoto.com/buy-previous-courses/
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Course Description
You’ve taken an amazing photograph: The color is exquisite, the composition is spot on, and it is tack sharp. Or maybe you’ve got the first two things going for you, but the focus is just so-so. In both of these cases, image sharpening–the process of creating contrast on the edges of detail– is important to consider and understand.
And yet, sharpening is also one of the most difficult editing tools to understand and master. Because it’s based on fine detail, image sharpening isn’t always easy to notice when applying it. Often, over-sharpening can occur which can have negative effects on your image.
This class will help get you on the right track to proper sharpening. We’ll discuss the basics of image sharpening, including what images will benefit from it, and what standard changes to make in Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Camera RAW. We will also discuss the role other programs, such as Topaz Sharpening AI, play in the process.
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.

Beginner Photography- Hunt's Photo, Manchester Part 2 of 2

Online: Multi-Session Series- Mastering Manual Mode
2022-04-14 19:00 - 20:30, 2022-04-21 19:00 - 20:30, 2022-04-28 19:00 - 20:30, 2022-05-05 19:00 - 20:30
Thursdays April 14th, 21st, 28th, & May 5th, 7-8:30pm • Online!
Recommended prerequisite:
A Digital SLR or mirrorless camera, or a digital camera that has manual capabilities
Instructor: Emily Hojnowski
Class Size: Limited to 15 attendees
Class Level: Basic
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.

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 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!
Mastering Manual Mode
Learning about photography can be a real challenge. There are so many pieces to the puzzle of photography, some of which use confusing terminology. For this reason, we often start newcomers off using the Priority Modes because it’s “easier”. In reality, these priority modes are just a short-term solution. It’s important to fully understand the “why” and “how” of your camera settings, and learning to master manual is an excellent way to do so.
This Multi-Session Series will focus on Mastering Manual Mode. In week 1, we’ll cover the technical side of aperture, shutter, and ISO. We’ll also discuss metering modes, reading your meter, and understanding histograms. In week 2, we’ll learn to control depth of field, focusing, and how lens choice affects aperture choice. By week 3, we’ll discuss how to use shutter speed effectively to either blur your motion or freeze your action. We’ll talk about shooting at night and in low light. We’ll also talk about ISO and how it controls image noise. In week 4, we’ll put everything together by discussing dynamic range, white balance, and how to get the correct exposure in camera every time. We’ll also answer the most important question of all: which change should I make to achieve my desired results?
Each week Emily will give an assignment to help further the topics covered in that week’s class. Students are encouraged to send in assignments that will be individually critiqued by Emily each week. This is a great opportunity to enhance your exposure skills while getting direct feedback on your week.

Workshop Description
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for our second time traveling to photograph the Wild Horses of Utah! Join us for four days of in-field photography and instruction as we search out and photograph one of the herds of wild horses in Utah!
This is a unique photography workshop right out of “The Old West”! Wild Horses have occupied this mountainous region of Utah since the late 1800’s. The herd is approximately 200 – 250 horses and is the largest herd of wild horses in the west. Mares and stallions average around 800 to 1000 pounds. The colors within the herd are brown, bay, paint, sorrel, roan, buckskin, black, palomino, and gray. The variety is endless due to the frequent breeding within the herd. There are many foal, yearlings and colts that roam with the herd. The horses are in good condition and are frequently seen in the vicinity of the Pony Express Trail in the valley floor. On this workshop, we will photograph the wild horses as well as other local scenes and wildlife.
On this workshop, you will want to bring a variety of lenses, from wide-angle to super-telephoto. The distance to your subjects can vary, as the horses can be right next to you or far in the distance, but it is certainly recommended to consider bringing a super-telephoto in the range of 500-600mm. Please keep in mind that you can always rent lenses from Hunt’s Rentals and at a decent cost!
We will maximize our time in the field shooting a multitude of subjects as well as incorporating classroom instruction, critiques, and photographic assignments each day.
What’s included:
• Four days of in-field photography and instruction
• Ground transportation during the 4 days in the field
• Lunch while in the field (Please advise us of any food restrictions or food allergies)
