Hunt's Photo Workshop: The Boston Marathon
2021-10-07 19:00 - 20:00, 2021-10-11 10:00 - 14:00
Presentation: Thursday, October 7th, 7-8pm • Online!
“Walk”: Monday, October 11th, 10am-2pm • Newton, MA
Featuring sports photography and lots and lots of runners!
Recommended prerequisite: Working knowledge of your camera We also recommend having some of the knowledge from our Beginner Photography class
All Skill Levels Welcome
Instructor: Paul Nelson
Class Size: Maximum 8 attendees

Walk Description
Until the pandemic threw things into chaos, the Boston Marathon was one of the most consistent events a resident of the Greater Boston could expect. Boston is the oldest marathon in the world, with runners taking part and challenging themselves up “Heartbreak Hill” since 1897. This course is unique, historic, and one of the most famous in the world: A straight-forward mostly downhill race from Hopkinton to Boston, then up and down Heartbreak Hill (actually 3 separate hills), and finally, right on Hereford, left on Boylston.
For this workshop, we will begin with an online presentation in the week leading up on photographing runners, with an emphasis on gear, settings, technique, and creativity. (This will be recorded, in case you cannot attend.) We will then meet the morning of the marathon on Heartbreak Hill right after the 30K mark. This is a great area to photograph the runners with a great level of intensity, as it is the point right before the last of the “Heartbreak Hills”. This is going to be a fantastic opportunity to get some spectacular sports shots! Join us for the fun!
Please Note: For security, large bags and backpacks are not allowed on the marathon route. You will need to carry any lenses and gear you have out in the open.

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 Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Portsmouth, New Hampshire is a large eclectic town along the coast of New Hampshire with a blend of new and old architecture amid a variety of shops, restaurants, docks, boats, and colors. The end of the day and night time is a rich and beautiful time for creating photographs. We will discuss and demonstrate various techniques for shooting in low light scenarios in and around Portsmouth using available light. This is such a vibrant area and a terrific chance to learn about photography at blue hour and into the night for 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! 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.

About Capture to Print Workshops
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.
About this workshop
Rockport is a premiere destination for photographers. The town is an eclectic mix of unique storefronts, a beautiful harbor, boats, and a rich fishing tradition that offers a wide variety of photographic subjects. The town is both vibrant and weathered. Rockport is also one of the best places to have both a Photo Walk and a class. There’s a great variety to photograph in Rockport, from architecture to scenery, from portraits to macro, in Color and in Black & White. We will also emphasize all of the elements to consider to obtain a truly amazing print in the end!
After the workshop, attendees will edit their photos on their own and upload 2-3 images to the instructors for review. We will review those edits, individually discuss your editing choices and make suggestions for additional edits, then print the images as 12×18″ on fine art paper. We will conclude the workshop the following week with a printed image review. We will hold the review in our Melrose store, but if you cannot attend this, you will also be able to watch it online. (The session will also be recorded if you cannot make it to the online session live.)
This will be a fun and challenging workshop that will walk you through the full process of creating a print, from capture to edit to print. The process of printing is integral to developing one’s photographic vision.
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.

Online: Personal Vision Series- Signs of the Season
2021-10-10 19:00 - 20:00, 2021-10-19 19:00 - 21:00
Presentation: Sunday October 10th, 7-8pm • Online!
Image Review/Critique: Tuesday October 19th, 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 Signs of the Season. 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!
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)

Video Basics- Hunt's Photo, Providence
2021-10-11 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.
As always, if you are sick or feeling unwell, STAY HOME! We will gladly give you a credit towards a future class.
These guidelines will stay in place until further notice. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at classes@huntsphoto.com.

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 Green Hill Park in Worcester. Green Hill Park is Worcester’s largest and most diverse park, spanning almost 500 acres. Once an estate belonging to the Green Family, the park is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Green Hill Park is home to the State-wide Vietnam Veterans Memorial and a farm as well. Gazebos, ponds, and beautiful vistas make this the perfect place to learn beginner photography while in the field. Bring your camera and your enthusiasm to learn all about photography in a hands-on, real-life environment!

Online: Printed Vision Series- Printing in Black & White
2021-10-19 19:00 - 20:00
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: Printing in Black & White
Black & White printing has an historic place in photography, as for the past 175 years, it has been the dominant method of printing and viewing photographs. There are many things to think about when we edit an image for printing in Black & White, and this course will discuss those many items.
In this session, we will discuss different paper options, what to look for in the editing process, and more. Our instructional online presentation will be held on June 8th from 7-8pm and we will reconvene for our Printed Image Review on June 24th from 7-9pm. You will have that time period in between to photograph and/or edit your images. In the end, you will receive a 12×18″ print on fine art Baryta paper. (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 that print!)
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.

“You Are Being Recorded” (And Other Note Related Items)

On this unique entry, we will be emphasizing photographing portraits in natural light with alternative lens techniques! We will give tips and tricks on using Lensbaby and Laowa lenses, as well as photographing using standard portrait lenses and using additional techniques for added effect! This will be such a unique portrait workshop because it can give your portraits a very one-of-a-kind look! Lensbaby users are encouraged to attend, but photographers of ANY skill level are encouraged to attend. Get excited!
We will then follow it up the following week to review your portraits in an online image review. This will be an excellent opportunity to review where you succeeded and what others did that worked, too!
