Join Hunt’s Photo and Leica Product Specialist, John Kreidler, as we explore the streets of Back Bay with the Leica SL2-S. While having a Leica Camera is not a requirement for this event, we will have a limited supply of SL2-S cameras available on a first come, first serve basis. A SD card, photo ID and credit card are required to borrow a camera. Arrive early to secure one of the loaner cameras.
The light of the city becomes more interesting as we approach dusk. The long shadows created by the stunning architecture give us a great contrast to the low direct light and creating pockets of light for us to insert our subject. This will be a great chance to try out a unique camera in a perfect situation.
Please note: The cost of the Test Drive event is $25. However, you will receive a $25 gift card to Hunt’s for attending, so it?s a win-win!
