Join us for a morning of learning what filters we want to use in photography, how to use them, and then go out into the field to get some hands-on practice!
We will begin in our Hunt’s Photo Manchester classroom to learn about filters, how to use them properly, how to attach them to the camera, and, if applicable, purchase filters. We will then travel ~22 minutes to our waterfall location to practice long exposures. (Please note: Our location is TBA. To minimize confusion, we will let you know in the confirmation email after purchase.) There are many small falls here – wide angle, normal zoom, and telephoto are all recommended. UV, Circular Polarizer (CPL), and Neutral Density (ND) filters are all recommended. Students may choose to shoot from the banks of the river, but the best shots will happen by walking along some rocks. Waterproof boots are your friend!
Whether you’ve used filters and still have questions, you’ve never used filters, or you need a little inspiration, this is a great opportunity to have some fun with filters!
