Hunt's Photo Workshop: Using On-Camera Filters, ft. Portland Head Light
2019-09-14 11:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York)
In the age of film photography, filters were used to great effect. Because darkrooms were less accessible for editing (than editing in the digital age), filters were used to “get it right in camera”. Despite all the editing programs available today, it is still best to “get it right in camera”, and certain filters still produce vastly superior effects that cannot be achieved by post-processing alone.
Join Hunt’s Photo Educator Rick Berk for a hands-on photography workshop designed to help attendees create better images by utilizing long-exposure. We will start with a classroom session explaining the different filter types and their uses, as well as examples of when and why to use them. Circular Polarizers, Neutral Density Filters, and ND Graduated Filters will all be covered. At about 2pm we will break and reconvene at Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth at 3:30pm to put into practice the filters and techniques. We will conclude the walk around 7pm.
We will have some Benro Neutral Density and Circular Polarizing filters on-hand for attendees to use in order to test the techniques discussed in the class. If attendees are interested in purchasing filters to use during the event, we will be offering a discount on them the day of the workshop.

If you are attending this walk, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the walk. However, be advised we will be meeting at Hunt’s Photo, South Portland at the time listed. We will be traveling separately to Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth. We will not need to return to South Portland and will conclude the workshop around 7pm in Cape Elizabeth. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.

Hunt's Portrait Workshop: Portraits at Horn Pond Using Natural Light & Flash!
2019-09-14 13:00 - 19:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we continue our portrait workshop sessions by mixing natural light and flash! On these workshops, we will emphasize creating portraits using available light through subject placement and composition through the aid of diffusers and reflectors, but then explain when and why to utilize flash, and how we can achieve extraordinary results with a little bit of knowledge! Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
On this workshop, we will utilize the beautifully underrated Horn Pond in Woburn, MA. Horn Pond is a 102-acre body of water that has a little bit of everything to offer the photographer from wildlife to flowers to beautiful sunsets and more! This is also an excellent and diverse area to photograph portraits, from engagement sessions to senior portraits, and even fashion. Areas of the pond are fully covered, other areas have dappled light, and still others have harsh, direct sun, but excellent backgrounds! We will begin this workshop basic and make our way up, going to different areas to get different effects.
We will also integrate in a number of techniques with flash. You do not need to own a flash for this workshop, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to own one and have an interest in using it! We will integrate in a little bit of flash and end utilizing High Speed Sync (or similar techniques) in our last hour of shooting.
For anyone interested in improving working with subjects in natural light situations as well as dabbling in outdoor flash, this workshop is an excellent opportunity!
You may bring your own gear, including reflectors and speedlights, but we will begin with gear that anyone can use, including:
-Basic reflectors
-A Variety of brands of Speedlights
-Phottix & Pocket Wizard Triggers
-Westcott & Phottix Softboxes
-Rogue Flashbender products
What to bring:
-Camera with fully charged battery
-Memory cards
-For lenses, consider bringing lenses between 50mm and 100mm. Prime lenses with low apertures are a great option, but zoom lenses that fit this range will also work fine.

Hunt's Photo Workshop: HDR, ft Horn Pond
2019-09-28 08:00 - 16:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a workshop on how to create photographs in the field suitable for creating HDR images, and how to easily process them using Adobe Lightroom.
The problem: Often when we photograph, there are very bright areas and very dark areas, and the camera’s sensor (or film) cannot accurately create detail in all of those areas. Examples of this are photographs of the sky and a shadowy landscape, or perhaps a photograph of the inside of a building (dark) looking to the outside (bright).
The solution: HDR.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) has existed in photography for almost as long as photography has existed. Originally, film photographers would take two (or more) exposures and combine them in post-production, as film simply did not have the latitude (or “dynamic range”) to capture both areas accurately. In the example of the landscape with the sky, photographers could photograph the sky at one exposure to obtain detail, then separately photograph the landscape at a separate exposure. Modern digital camera sensors have improved upon that dynamic range, but we still can benefit from High Dynamic Range in Post-Production.
In this workshop, we will begin by photographing in the field at Horn Pond in Woburn with a short class and discussion about camera settings and the morning’s goals. We will then workshop how to best take photographs for HDR by bracketing exposure. We will then break and drive separately to our store at Hunt’s Photo in Melrose for post-processing the bracketed photographs using Adobe Lightroom.
Please note: Many programs offer HDR processing of images through bracketing, but this course will specifically be using Adobe Lightroom. We separately have offered (and will offer again) courses using Adobe Photoshop, but this course will not cover Photoshop.

If you are attending this walk, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the walk. However, be advised we will be meeting at Horn Pond in Woburn. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.

Hunt's Photo Walks - Sunset (and Light Painting) in Rockport
2019-10-12 15:30 - 19:30
Join Hunt’s Photo Education on a late afternoon/sunset walk of Rockport and its harbor, Bearskin Neck, and other points of interest. After sunset, we will continue photographing the areas employing light painting techniques! Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.

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.
This will be a really fun walk! We will begin by photographing around the harbor and capturing sunset. After sunset, Rockport really shuts down and becomes very dark. In normal circumstances, this keeps us from photographing because of how little light there is. However, this will work to our benefit, as we will move on to teaching light painting techniques for the remaining time. This will be a lot of fun!

If you are attending this walk, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the walk. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.

Hunt's Photo Walk: The Crows of Lawrence
2019-11-03 13:30 - 17:30
The city of Lawrence, Massachusetts is home to a significant Winter Crow Roost, starting with 100-200 crows in early September to over 25,000 by the new year. Join Hunt’s Photo Education’s Ron Phillips and local birder Craig Gibson for a unique Photo Walk that will observe the bigger picture of the Crows of Lawrence, as they gather and circle, leading into and just after sunset.
We will begin at 1:30pm in Lawrence to discuss much of the basis of what we will expect to see, settings for our cameras and some test shots in the area. By mid-afternoon, we will get into position and begin photographing, and continue until we lose the majority of our working light. During this time, hundreds of crows will gather in “pre-roost” locations, finally converging about an hour after sunset. The sight is magnificent to behold!
This is not your typical birding photo walk, but it is very unique and can yield spectacular imagery. Our co-leader, Craig Gibson, has done extensive research with this roost, including extensive documentation over the past years. Craig has a breadth of knowledge and boundless enthusiasm on the subject.

If you are attending this walk, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the walk. However, please be advised we will be meeting in Lawrence. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. Our follow-up email will detail any of those minor changes.

2019-11-08 15:30 - 18:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for our new Postcard Series of Photo Walks. Our Postcard Series are shorter Photo Walks and focused in concept. While our normal walks are 3-5 hours, our Postcard series are generally shorter (about 2 hours) and focused on photographing one subject. This one subject is generally that “Postcard Image”, a unique and distinct looking photograph that everyone loves to have in their portfolio. These walks are excellent for beginners, as you’re able to concentrate and fine-tune, as well as intermediate photographers looking for a quick and fun walk. Less walking, more photographing!
For this “Postcard Walk”, we will be visiting the newly lit up Longfellow Bridge. During the walk, we will discuss many of the aspects of photographing in low-light and at night, including exposure, focusing, composition, and more.
