Capture to Print: Flowers & Macro
2020-02-15 09:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
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.
Our process for this Capture to Print workshop will be a little different from our previous workshops. We will begin in our Melrose 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
10am- 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

If you are attending this workshop, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the workshop. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.
If you have specific flowers that you would like to bring to photograph, you are welcome to bring them as well.

Beyond the Basics- Shooting & Editing Landscapes- Hunt's Photo, Melrose
2020-02-09 11:00 - 15:00
Landscapes are one of the most easily accessible subjects to photographers but this does not mean that landscape photography is easy. This class will help you prepare for (and feel confident!) shooting in the field and how to edit your images in Lightroom when the shoot is over.
Students are encouraged to bring their laptops with Adobe Lightroom Classic installed as you’ll work through the edits with the instructor on provided images.
Topics covered in this course:
-Dynamic Range
-Histograms
-Exposure
-Focusing
-Composition
-Gear
-Global edits in Lightroom
-Using graduated filters and adjustment brushes
-and more!
We recommend bringing a laptop for the second half of this class with Adobe Lightroom Classic installed. We will provide images for you to work on, which we will be demoing on screen at the same time. Please also be advised that this is not meant as an introductory course to Lightroom. We recommend Adobe Lightroom Basics as a precursor to this class.
Please be advised: Lightroom Classic is the only version we recommend for this class. Please make sure it is downloaded and make sure you can open it prior to arriving. Many versions of this software exist, including the similarly named “Adobe Lightroom CC”. It is in fact a slightly different program. While this program has the same general capabilities, the overall layouts of the two programs are very different. Please note that we recommend using Classic for this class.

The Flume is an 800-foot long natural gorge that for generations has drawn outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers from New England and beyond to explore its impressive granite walls, waterfall, and stream. Known as a popular spring, summer, and fall destination primarily, the Flume is also stunning in the wintertime. We will photograph the landscape within the gorge for the bulk of the day. Please note: We will not be photographing ice climbing on this walk, as we have done in the past.

Edit to Print- Hunt's Photo, Hanover
2020-02-06 18:00 - 20:00
How do we edit an image to make the best print possible? Which images work for print and which do not? What paper should we print on? How should we edit for each paper? In this roundtable class, we will work with your images, discuss and process them, and discuss the printing process. We ask attendees to bring in three images on a USB drive (RAW, if possible) that they may want to print. We will review the images and choose one to edit in Adobe Lightroom and then send it to print.
Attendees are also welcome to bring their laptop to work on the images during class for submission. We will gladly assist on any editing you would like to do.
Attendees will leave with one print, 12×18 in size (printed on 13×19 paper) and a bit more knowledge on the process of editing and printing, not to mention the knowledge of how to take the photograph better in the field for next time.
This is a class that you can take as many times as you’d like. Since you’re constantly working with new images, you’re always working out new challenges!
In the class, we will have a variety of paper options to choose from, including Moab Fine Art papers. (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!)
Come see your images, printed vibrantly in a large format!

Horn Pond is a wonderfully scenic area, offering many outdoor activities such as hiking and bike riding. These same trails are an excellent place to explore many types of photographic opportunities, emphasizing nature, landscape, and macro. On many of our walks, the quality of day can positively or negatively affect how our images turn out.

Beyond the Basics: Low Light & Night Photography- Hunt's Photo, Manchester
2020-02-01 13:00 - 15:30
After learning “the basics” of digital photography, become more comfortable in the world of digital photography by taking the next step.
Night Photography requires patience and creative vision. Despite the limitations of darkness there is still great detail and color to be captured through your lenses. Low light photography is equally challenging, but requires a completely different set of techniques. This course specifically covers these two very different yet aesthetically beautiful types of photography. While our Beginner class scratches the surface of these functions, this Beyond the Basics class covers the following topics in Low-Light and Night Photography:
• Exposure, Focusing, Settings, Subject Matter, and Gear
• RAW vs. Jpeg shooting
• Aperture Priority vs. Manual
• Live View and Manual Focus
Understanding the full-functionality of your camera 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 how to change your camera’s settings in those situations. It is recommended as a follow-up to our Beginner Photography course.

Abstract Macro Workshop- Hunt's Photo, Melrose
2020-01-25 10:00 - 15:00
Too often we feel that our photography comes to a halt during inclement weather. However, there is ample opportunity to make use of our creativity while staying indoors. Many household items– cut flowers, books, antiques, jewelry, and glassware– all make for wonderful subjects while using natural window light. Every table in your house can become a landscape of opportunity with some imagination and creativity.
In this workshop, we will emphasize working in macro to create abstractions. We will spend our day creating a variety of set ups, unique macro scenarios, and learning about the use of light and light modifiers to change effect. We will cover exposure, composition, how to use macro lenses and extension tubes, how to set up lighting, how to use light modifiers and more!

Editing Using Capture One- Exposure, Layer, Color Grading, & More- Hunt's Photo, S. Portland
2020-01-18 10:00 - 14:00
Capture One is one of the most popular and professional photo editing softwares on the market. It’s a complete photo editor that allows for extensive color editing, the ability to work with layers in an image, tethered shooting, and more in a fairly easy-to-use package! Capture One also boasts extensive camera and lens profiles for many brands, emphasizing not just Canon and Nikon, but also Fuji, Sony and others.
In this course we will learn:
•General program layout
•Basics of exposure controls
•Layers- what they are, how and when to use them
•Color editing tools
•Spot Removal Tool
•Tethering basics
Come join us as we explore this fascinating program!
Why choose Capture One vs. Adobe Lightroom? This program can be seen as an addition to or replacement for Adobe Lightroom. Capture One’s interface focuses on processing of images without having to create catalogs of images, allowing one to focus primarily on what’s important in images: Exposure, spot correction, color, and more. Capture One’s biggest advantage over Lightroom is its robust color processing capabilities, which allow one to work in a straightforward way to properly render color. Capture One is also one of the few professional photo editing softwares that is available to purchase, rather than Adobe’s leasing with monthly payments. But rest assured- We’re not biased! Our instructors have both Capture One and Lightroom!
We recommend bringing a laptop for this class with Capture One Pro 12 installed. Please be advised: Capture One Pro 12 is the only version we recommend for this class. Please make sure the program is downloaded and make sure you can open it prior to arriving. Note:The other major version of this program, Capture One Express, does not offer the same editing capabilities (specifically the inability to work with Layers). We are happy to work with you in a 1-on-1 environment, as this class will likely not be suitable for Express.

We’ll show how to light the setups, using various LED lighting, speed lights, reflectors, and softboxes to create different types of scenes. If you’re trying to stay away from sweets as your New Year’s Resolution, why not photograph them instead??

Hunt's Photo Walk: The Massachusetts State House
2020-01-10 13:00 - 17:00
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a photo walk in one of Boston’s most distinctive buildings and one of Boston’s most recognizable areas: The Massachusetts State House and Acorn St. During the walk we will discuss Subject Development, Image Composition, Long Exposures, Black and White Photography, HDR, and especially Architectural Photography.
Overlooking historic Boston Common is the distinctive Massachusetts State House. Built in 1798, the State House is known for its very visible golden dome, but the interior is equally as impressive and beautiful. Featuring beautiful polished granite, Greek revival columns, sweeping staircases, long corridors, legislative meeting rooms, and a stunning rotunda, the State House provides ample opportunity for creating stunning images.

Hunt's Photo Walk: Postcard Series- Action on the Frog Pond, Boston Common
2019-12-28 15:30 - 17:30
Join Hunt’s Education for a set of walks that concentrate on photographing holiday lights. We have chosen a myriad of locations that vary in content and location. It may seem like a lot, but we have chosen these locations for the variety they present for attendees!
This year, we will be photographing lights at Boston Common & Gardens and Christopher Columbus Park in Boston; at La Salette Shrine in Attleboro; in downtown Portland, Newburyport, and Portsmouth; at the Stevens-Coolidge Place for “Winterlights” in North Andover; and at Olde Sturbridge Village for their annual Christmas by Candlelight! We will discuss the many aspects that go into photographing in low-light, especially when encountering holiday lights, including Image Composition, Long Exposures, Architectural Photography and many additional aspects of photographing holiday lights. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
Effectively photographing holiday lights during the “blue hour” and at night can be a challenge. However, with proper exposure and balance of composition, you have the ability to capture great detail and color through your lenses. Join us for a terrific and beautiful experience!
These walks all occur at a time of the year when weather can be finicky. Curious about our weather policy? Click here!
