Online: Trigger Happy! How (and why) to Use Wireless Flash Triggers
2020-09-10 19:00 - 20:15 (America/New_York)
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Most portrait photographers will tell you that the best way to use a flash is off-the-camera. But how do you take a flash off the camera? The answer is through wireless flash triggers! So, does it make more sense to buy Manual triggers or TTL? How do you use each of them effectively? And by the way, did you know you can fire a camera using these triggers?
Join Hunt’s Photo Education’s Paul Nelson as we talk all about triggers, Manual and TTL, Pocket Wizard, Phottix, GoDox, and more. In addition to the presentation, we’ll get hands-on with a bunch of different options that are out there. This class is a great way to learn more about how to use these fun little devices that can be vexing or a lifesaver!

Hunt's Photo Workshop & Critique: Haverhill at Night in Black & White
2020-09-10 19:00 - 21:00
This Walk is part of our Emerging Series, as we cautiously begin to emerge from the COVID-19 lockdown. For this series of walks, we have chosen areas that are more spread out and with less foot traffic. We will also be limiting our group size to a maximum of 8 attendees with one instructor. After the course description (but before registration) will be guidelines for these walks. Please make sure to read them prior to registering.
Walk Description
Join instructor Don Toothaker for a special photo walk in Haverhill, MA where we will concentrate on being able to see and photograph in Black & White. During the walk, we will also discuss elements that contribute to become more adept at both Black and White and night photography, including exposure, focusing, composition and much more! This will be followed the next night by an image review/critique featuring images taken on the photo walk by each attendee. Photographers of all skill levels are welcome!
Haverhill, Massachusetts was once known as the “Queen Slipper City” for its high percentage of shoes produced in the town. The town retains the look of a manufacturing town, and this look translates extremely well to the look of Black & White photography. On this walk, we will move about the downtown area and along the Merrimack River at dusk and into the night. Our task will be to focus our energies into how to effectively see and create images in Black & White.
After the walk, attendees will be asked to edit 2-3 images in black and white and submit them for our image review/critique, which will happen the following night. We will discuss each attendee’s images and look at all the elements of photography discussed on the walk. Please note that this session will be recorded in case you cannot attend.

Online: Multi-Session Series- Mastering Manual Mode
2020-09-14 19:00 - 20:30, 2020-09-21 19:00 - 20:30, 2020-09-28 19:00 - 20:30, 2020-10-05 19:00 - 20:30
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.

Online: Multi-Session Series- Editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic
2020-09-16 19:00 - 20:30, 2020-09-23 19:00 - 20:30

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.

Online: Image Review/Critique- Lensbaby Images
2020-09-22 19:00 - 21:00
There is so much to think about in photography– from settings and composition to editing and post processing and so much more– that it can be easy to get lost within your images. Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a chance to discuss one of your images in a review and critique session, where we will discuss many of these topics and how they work in your image. Our Hunt’s Photo Education Team firmly believes that presenting personal work and observing peer work is paramount to the growth and development of your photographic vision.
This Week’s Topic
For this week’s topic, all attendees will submit an image for review or critique taken by a Lensbaby! Lensbaby lenses are a unique series of lenses,but are not always the easiest to use or understand and require a lot of practice and fine-tuning.
In this review/critique, we will look at your Lensbaby images and discuss the finer points of importance. We will discuss many Lensbaby factors, including focus, depth, and blur, and how we may want to improve those images. In addition to this, we will also discuss normal review/critique topics, such as exposure, composition, lighting, and more!
You are welcome to submit an edited or unedited image. If you are submitting an edited image from Lightroom or Capture One, we ask that you export the image as a DNG, or save the RAW file with a XMP sidecar file so that we can reedit the image, if need be. (If you’re unsure what a DNG file is, watch this short video about exporting as DNG. And if you cannot save the file in either formats and choose to submit an edited photo, please submit an edited and unedited version so we can reedit, if need be.)
We encourage photographers of all levels to consider this course, as it is as valuable to seasoned professional as it is to a beginner!
This class will be a small group of up to 10-15 attendees. Upon registering, you will receive a confirmation email that will include a link in order to upload images to us for the image review. We will also send out a reminder email a few days prior. Make sure to leave yourself enough time to upload your photo!
Join us for this exciting opportunity to share your photographic work with the community!
Regarding uploading of images
For this critique, we ask that you export a DNG from Lightroom/Capture One or save as the original RAW with the XMP sidecar file. DNG is a RAW format that also embeds in all the changes you have made previously to the image! Since it’s RAW, we can still make “lossless” changes to the DNG file, so that’s very helpful. We’ve made a short video about how to do it that you can watch here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ll87ah4kapx0zul/exporting-to-dng.mp4?dl=0
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.
Layout of the class
Our course layout is simple. This course will last about 2 hours, depending on quantity of attendees. During that time, all attendees will be muted. When we critique your image, we will unmute you, so please have a working microphone on your computer/tablet.
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.
Can’t attend the class?
If you can’t attend the class but still want to download the video, no problem: Just sign up for the class! You don’t need to attend and we will send the video and PDF link the next day!
Want to get this class after it’s been run?

Hunt's Photo Walk: Learning Manual Mode in the Field - Castle Island, Boston
2020-09-23 07:00 - 09:00
This Walk is part of our Emerging Series, as we cautiously begin to emerge from the COVID-19 lockdown.
For this series of walks, we have chosen areas that are more spread out and with less foot traffic. We will also be limiting our group size to a maximum of 8 attendees with one instructor. After the course description (but before registration) will be guidelines for these walks. Please make sure to read them prior to registering.

Walk 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. 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.
In this outdoor, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how and why to control aperture, shutter, and ISO, as well as how to get the right exposure in the field. We’ll spend the morning exploring different scenes and learning to balance the light by reading our meter and covering the most important questions of all: what should I change and when?
Castle Island is a terrific area with a variety of fine-details and interesting scenes that can lead to terrific photographs. Join us to strengthen your photographic knowledge!

It is also just a short walk to the Charles River with views of the Boston skyline, sailboats, and more. We will spend the evening establishing how to best photograph people and street scenes in lower light environments. This is a walk that will challenge your abilities, but will ultimately be a rewarding experience! We will be focusing on street photography during the early evening, low-light shooting as we approach dusk, and long exposures in both the civil twilight and at night.

Online: Multi-Session Series- Creative Flash Off-Camera for Outdoor Portraits
2020-09-23 19:00 - 20:30, 2020-09-30 19:00 - 20:30, 2020-10-07 19:00 - 20:30
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!
Creative Flash Off-Camera for Outdoor Portraits
Using a flash when photographing portraits outside can prove to be an extremely effective method of creating beautiful portraits. But how do we use flash off-camera and under what circumstances? Where do we place the subject in relation to the natural light, where do we place the flash, and what sort of diffusers do we need? Finally, what settings do we need for the flash and what settings do we need for the camera?
Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we continue our Multi-Session Series with portraits and flash! In this class, we will answer the above questions and more through a series of presentations, discussions, critiques, and assignments.
In week one, we will look at where and when we can integrate flash into our photographs, as well as how to effectively work it in with flash settings and positioning and camera settings. In week two, we will look back at images from week 1 and discuss editing techniques. We will work to refine flash positioning and subject posing to maximize effectiveness. In week three, we will work on alternative flash positioning, integrating a flash in as a secondary or effect light and on additional techniques, such as high-speed sync. In week four, we will tie together the whole process, from setup to photograph to editing to finalized images.
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 AND lighting diagrams (for test shots) which we will discuss in class.
You don’t need to be a professional to take this course, or even know advanced concepts of Photoshop, nor the inner workings of your flash. Photographers of all levels should apply, as we will cascade the learning process. We do recommend having either Adobe Lightroom or Capture One editing software, as well as Adobe Photoshop; if you plan to submit images, you should have flash triggers; a reflector will also be helpful.
Photographers should have an understanding of exposure before taking this class.
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.

Hunt's Photo Walk: Emerging Series- Piers Park, East Boston

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!

Online: Histograms: How, When, and Why to Use Them
2020-09-29 19:00 - 20:15
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Are you tired of your photos being too bright or too dark? Maybe your photos look good on the back of your camera, but when you view them on your computer you realize your exposure was way off! Are you ready to understand what the histogram is and how to use it to take better pictures? Join Emily Hojnowski of Hunt’s Photo Education as we cover the ins and outs of histograms in photography. We’ll discuss how to read a histogram and use histograms in the field to achieve our best exposures. We’ll cover why histograms are so important and how we can use them to maximize our camera’s dynamic range. Emily will also show you sample images with histograms so we can finally answer the question: What does a perfect histogram look like? The answer may surprise you!
Overview of topics:
•What is a histogram?
•How to use the histogram to take better photos – Viewing histograms in Review mode, turning histograms on in live view
•How to read a histogram
•Why histograms are so important – dynamic range
