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 Piers Park in East Boston. Piers Park was developed in the mid-1990s, offering beautiful landscaping, natural vegetation, and stunning views of downtown Boston. During this session of Beginner Photography in the Field, you will learn about photograph on the grounds of Piers Park and the Boston skyline during blue hour, sunset, and civil twilight. The variety here is excellent, and the time frame is an excellent opportunity 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.

Advanced Videography- Hunt's Photo, Providence
2021-11-08 18:00 - 20:00, 2021-11-15 18:00 - 20:00
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!

Online: Multi-Session Series- Editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic
2021-11-10 18:30 - 20:30, 2021-11-17 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.
“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.
No online classes should be shared and cannot be shared in a public environment, including with camera clubs

In this session of Beginner Photography in the Field…
…we will be at Olde Sturbridge Village, 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. Bring your camera and your enthusiasm to learn all about photography in a hands-on, real-life environment!

Do you have a new DSLR that you have no idea how to use? Have you had your camera for 6 months, a year or more and want to take better pictures? Are you putting your camera away because you just don’t see the difference between your expensive camera and your smart phone?

Learn to fully utilize your cameras potentials! Harness your creative power with photography!

This is one of the first classes to consider when you’re getting started with your Digital SLR or Mirrorless camera. 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. We recommend taking this class prior to Digital Photography Basics 2, which is the next logical step!

Join us to start learning about Digital Photography!

Course Description
Every year, millions of Americans print off tens of holiday cards to send off to their loved ones, both near and far. They print cards that include their family, their pets, and their experiences. They print cards with amazing landscapes, timeless cityscapes, and, in general, the beautiful things they’ve photographed.
More and more in the 21st century, people have relied on the “creativity” of services such as Shutterfly, Snapfish, and the online giants that make your compositions drag and drop. But is there more to creating a meaningful holiday card?
Oh yes. Join Hunt’s Photo Education’s Paul Nelson as we dive into the creative side of making holiday cards. We’ll begin with pre-planning and visualizing your end result, and understanding which programs and papers to use. We will then begin forming a few different “concept” cards in Adobe Lightroom Classic. When necessary, we’ll shift over to Adobe Photoshop where we’ll discuss the most important tools for building a card, including sizing, creating layers, adding text and text boxes, adjusting opacity, masking, and more. We will finish by discussing our last step– exporting or printing the image. Whether you’re printing this on your own or sending it off to be printed elsewhere, these are the essential tools you’ll need to know to get it looking the way it should look!
This 2-hour seminar will be JAM PACKED with information and will be recorded for your convenience in case you want to re-watch or cannot attend live. Questions may be asked throughout the evening.
We truly love creating holiday cards– join us as we discuss that passion!

Workshop 2- Sunday November 21st, 10am-2pm • Hunt’s Photo, Melrose
Image Review for both workshops: November 30th, 7-9pm • Online!
Featuring hands-on instruction on everything macro!
Will also include a 13×19″ print of your choosing, to be hung in our Print Gallery in December
Recommended prerequisite: Basic knowledge of your camera; tripod; interest in editing and printing
All Skill Levels Welcome
Instructors: Emily Hojnowski & Paul Nelson
Group Size: Limited to 10 attendees

Workshop Description
Hunt’s Photo Education is proud to present our annual Holiday Macro & Tabletop Workshops. These workshops are designed to help you create, compose, and photograph stellar mini-holiday masterpieces. Photographers that participate in these workshops will also have one of their holiday photographs printed 13×19″ and hung in the Hunt’s Photo Gallery in Melrose for the month of December. (More details below.)
We will begin each workshop with a demo that will discuss camera settings, lighting, composition, subject placement, and more. You will then create and photograph your compositions for the remainder of the time during the workshop, with instructor assistance available. Our ultimate goal in this workshop is at least one “final piece” that can be printed on a large scale.
After the workshop, attendees will edit and process their images on their own and upload 1-2 images to the instructors for review. We will review those images, individually discuss your processing choices and make suggestions for additional edits, then print the images as 13×19″. These photographs will be hung in our Hunt’s Photo Gallery in Melrose for the month of December, after which you will be given the print. We will conclude these workshops on Tuesday November 30th with a printed image review.
But wait… There’s more! In addition to all of this, we will also create a holiday card for you on a Moab Entrada Folding Card. While this may seem like a very small item, these cards are stunning– as much in importance as the large scale print!
This will be a fun and challenging workshop that will walk you through the full process of creating stellar holiday macro imagery. We will stay with you during the editing process, and even guide you in understanding the best processing for a final print. Join us for one of our favorite workshops of the year!
Updated COVID-19 Policies for indoor Hunt’s Photo Walks and Workshops
At this time, Hunt’s Photo Education will require face masks for this workshop.
This workshop will take place in our Hunt’s Photo Melrose classroom. We have limited the amount of attendees in order to give ample space to each attendee. We also ask that you maintain social distance whenever possible.
As always, if you are sick or feeling unwell, STAY HOME! We will gladly give you a credit towards a future walk.

Gear
•A Macro lens will be your best lens of choice for this workshop. Remember, we have a rental department at rentals.huntsphoto.com
•Alternatively, you could consider a prime lens (ex 50mm) or a long telephoto zoom lens, but macro is still best
•Macro filters or extension tubes could also work
•For this workshop, we always recommend bringing holiday items that are special to you. Trinkets, ornaments, toys, or anything holiday-related is recommended. We will also have a large collection of items, but if you have something of your own, consider bringing it. Just remember- it should be small, so don’t bring a 2-foot teddy bear unless you want to photograph it very close-up.
•Make sure to bring your tripod with a quick release plate and a shutter release, if you have one.
•Feel free to bring snacks and water
•Bring an extra camera battery and memory cards.
•As always, bring your enthusiasm and creative thoughts!

Online: The Printed Vision- Workshopping Holiday Cards
2021-11-22 19:00 - 20:00
Presentation: Monday November 22nd, 7-8pm • Online!
Review of the Cards: Tuesday December 7th, 7-9pm • Online!
Recommended prerequisite:
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: Workshopping Holiday Cards
In case you haven’t noticed, this instructor puts a lot of stress and effort into holiday and greeting cards! So many things can be said about printing small: If you can’t make it good small, you can’t make it good big; printing small presents a wonderful level of intimacy; cards are a way to easily distribute your work, your passions, your vision! In this instructor’s mind, nothing is better than a pristine, home-printed card.
The purpose of this class is twofold: 1- Find an image and workshop it for maximum effect in a printed card and 2- Work with you on how to print. IMPORTANT: In every printed vision class, we print images. Usually, it’s a large scale print, but here we will be printing cards. In the end, we will print 10 cards that will be yours to distribute. Please note: We will not have the ability to print hundreds of holiday cards for you in this way. The purpose is for us to see the end result and create small-batch custom prints accordingly.
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.

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. During the class, you are welcome to type in questions in the Chat 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.

Online:Personal Vision Series- People
2021-11-26 19:00 - 20:00
Presentation: Friday November 26th, 7-8pm • Online!
Image Review/Critique: Monday December 6th, 7-9pm • Online!
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 People. 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!
