Macro Photography for Beginners (with an Image Review!)- Hunt's Photo, Manchester
2022-02-13 10:00 - 16:00
***Please note date change due to weather***
Workshop & Image Review: Sunday February 13th, 10am-4pm • Hunt’s Photo, Manchester
Instructor: Emily Hojnowski
Featuring hands-on instruction on everything macro!
Recommended prerequisite: Basic knowledge of your camera
Group Size: Limited to 10 attendees
Workshop 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 workshop, come learn the basics of macro photography in a hands-on environment! Aperture! Shutter speed! Focus! Exposure! Composition! We will spend our day creating a variety of unique macro scenarios and learning about the use of light and light modifiers. In this workshop 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!
We will be bringing lots of props and flowers to photograph for this workshop. However, we find in our macro workshops that our attendees value shooting some things of their own as much if not more than what we bring. So, while we will have props, feel free to bring your own props, trinkets, and other things that may (or may not) be important to you!
After the workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to review their images. 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.

Gear
•A Macro lens will be your best lens of choice for this workshop. Remember, we have a rental department at rentals.huntsphoto.com

•Macro filters or extension tubes could also work
•For this workshop, we always recommend bringing personal items that are special to you. Props, trinkets, jewelry, flowers, or even small toys are welcome. 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 anything giant 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: Multi-Session Series- Mastering Manual Mode
2022-02-15 19:00 - 20:30, 2022-02-22 19:00 - 20:30
Tuesdays February 1st, 8th, 15th, & 22nd, 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.
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 48 hours prior to the class time with that same information.

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.

About our instructors
Robert Fletcher began his full-time photography career in 1970. Following in the footsteps of Ansel Adams, he mostly photographed people (children, portraits, weddings, seniors, etc.), which paid the bills. Over time, he became interested in photographing wildlife and landscapes, mostly for personal pleasure. In 1999, he was asked to become a “Stringer” for Canon USA and has been in that position since then. It has led Robert towards teaching, leading workshops and sharing his life-long passion with others. He always looks forward to sharing his knowledge of photography with those who are anxious to learn.
Jeff Swinger boasts nearly 30 years of professional experience built upon his passion for telling stories through images. He honed his skills over 16 years with The Cincinnati Enquirer covering news and sports and has covered four Olympic Games for USA Today Sports. Additionally, Jeff works as an educational contributor and freelance Pro Market Representative for Canon USA and travels domestically and internationally conducting photo tours and workshops. Jeff lives with his family in Park City, Utah.

Online: Multi-Session Series- Editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic
2022-02-16 18:30 - 20:30, 2022-02-23 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.

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!

We will do our best to answer those questions, but if not, feel free to ask them at the end.

Online: Multi-Session Series- Speedlights 101...and Beyond!
2022-02-17 18:30 - 20:00
Thursdays February 3rd, 10th, 17th & March 3rd (class will not meet February 24th), 6:30-8pm • Online!
Recommended prerequisite:
Basic understanding of Aperture, Shutter, ISO & What Exposure is
You should have a speedlight, aka a flash that is detachable from your camera
Flash triggers are helpful, but not a necessity
Instructor: Paul Nelson
Class Level: Basic
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
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!
Speedlights 101 and Beyond!
This class is all about two things: Learning how to use the basics of your flash on the camera and how (and why) to take the flash off the camera.
Join Hunt’s Photo Educator Paul Nelson as we discuss how to take pictures using a speedlight, and make them look great, no matter what the situation. We will discuss photographing people, but also photographing product and flashes work. We’ll talk all about the basics, including modes, settings, and more!
Whether you own a flash and have no idea how to use it, you want to take great photos at functions and family events that are in low light, or you just want to learn how to add a flash into your repertoire, this course is for you!
In week one, we will look at the basic camera and flash settings when using the flash on the camera, including light positioning. In week two, we will get a bit more creative by adding in diffusion and reflectors. We will also work to refine flash positioning and camera settings to maximize efficiency. In week three, we will demonstrate taking the flash off-camera and show some of the benefits of doing that. In week four, we will tie together the whole process, including how to properly edit photos.
Each week we will have a general presentation and discussion about a topic and will present an assignment. You can submit for the assignment or just watch our weekly critiques of others–it’s up to you! We will also supplement the class with additional instructional videos.
You don’t need to know the inner workings of your flash to take this class! Photographers of all levels should apply, even those at a basic level, as we will cascade the learning process. You should have a speedlight, aka a flash that is detachable from your camera. Flash triggers can be helpful. A reflector may also be helpful. Note: This is not a class about the on-board flash on your camera. In general, we never recommend using the on-board flash (unless you absolutely have to).
Photographers should have an understanding of their camera and general exposure before taking this class.

But they don’t need to be! With a little bit of know-how, you can create excellent portraits ANYWHERE using your speedlight!
In this Creating Portraits with Speedlights Session, we’ll discuss, demonstrate, and then practice with models how to set up a great portrait anywhere using the simplest of tools and methods. In this workshop, we will specifically be working with speedlights/flash off the camera using triggers.
Most importantly, attendees will be guiding the setup (and take down) of all the gear. Attendees are also encouraged to bring their own gear, but we will begin with gear that anyone can use, including:
-A Variety of brands of Speedlights
-Off-Camera Triggers
-Lightmeters
-Softboxes, Reflectors, and other Diffusers
Layout of the day:
9am- Introductions, brief presentation/discussion on exposure & speedlights, camera setup
10am- Begin creating setups
10:30am- Demoing of setups (during this time, we will photograph each other- Be Prepared!)
11:30am- Brief Break
12-3pm- Photographing with models. We will have about 3 hours in three setups.
3pm- Takeaways from the day

Course Description
Do you have a budding photographer that you want to encourage this winter break? Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a week-long photography program aimed at strengthening their interest, improving their photography, and getting them truly excited about being the artist, the creator, and the family photographer!
Over the course of five days, we will cover a wide range of topics, from composition & perspective to depth of field & movement. Every day we’ll have a brief introduction to a topic followed by a fun practical exercise. Our goal is to get your photographers outside and taking pictures as much as possible! (Inside on snowy and cold days, too.) At the end of the day, we’ll look back on the images to see what we liked about them. And at the end of the week, we’ll print and display images from all of our students in our Hunt’s Photo Gallery for all to see.
Our goal in this program is to have a lot of fun and not bog students down with too much technical stuff. However, we will also scaffold instruction, so if an attendee wants to know more about the technical aspects, they still can!
Students will be required to have some kind of camera. This can be a cell phone, a point and shoot camera, or a DSLR/mirrorless camera. Pretty much any digital camera that works is acceptable!
This will be a fun week with experienced instruction. We look forward to seeing you there!
*A few notes about our recommended age requirements*
Our age requirement is very general. A certain maturity level is helpful. Younger children with interest and a level of responsibility are welcome to attend. As we mention, we will scaffold instruction for any age range.
All parents/guardians will need to sign off on a permission to attend this course upon signup. Our classes will be held in our Hunt’s Photo, Melrose store and classroom, and surrounding outdoor areas, including Pine Banks Park. We assure you that your student will be in a safe and fun environment. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at classes@huntsphoto.com.

Video Basics- Hunt's Photo, Providence
2022-02-21 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.

Multi-Session Series- Adobe Lightroom Classic- File Management & Editing- Hunt’s Photo, Melrose
2022-02-24 18:00 - 20:00
Thursdays, February 24th, March 3rd & 10th, 6-8pm
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: Rebecca Wade
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.
Please Note: A Slight Change to COVID-19 Policies on Masks and Social Distancing

Online: Multi-Session Series- Mastering Manual Mode
2022-02-24 19:00 - 20:30
Thursdays February 24th, March 3rd, 10th, & 17th, 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.
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 48 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.

Hunt's Photo Walk: Piers Park, East Boston

All Skill Levels Welcome
Special Guest, Sony rep Jon Helgason will be on this walk with Sony gear, if you are interested in using some!

Walk Description
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a photo walk at Piers Park in East Boston. During the walk, we will discuss shooting in lower light with an emphasis on night photography. This will include assistance with exposure, composition, focusing, use of tripods, and a myriad of other settings and concepts!
Much of East Boston consists of dense residential neighborhoods, in part as a carryover from the area’s heavy influx of immigration at the turn of the previous century, and in part to its proximity to downtown Boston. Piers Park was developed in the mid-1990s as a contrast to this, offering beautiful landscaping, natural vegetation, and stunning views of downtown Boston. On this walk, we will photograph the grounds of Piers Park and the skyline during blue hour, sunset, and civil twilight. Photographers of all levels are welcome!
Also…
Sony rep Jon Helgason will be on this walk with Sony gear for photographers to use. If you are interested in using some Sony gear for the evening, let us know!
