Join Hunt’s Photo Education on a late afternoon/sunset walk of Rockport and its harbor, Bearskin Neck, and other points of interest. On this walk, we will discuss exposure, subject development, image composition, Black & White Photography and more. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
Rockport is a premiere destination for photographers. The town is an eclectic mix of unique storefronts, a beautiful harbor, boats, and a rich fishing tradition that offers a wide variety of photographic subjects.
This walk is an excellent opportunity both for those just starting out as well as the well-seasoned photographer. For those starting out, there are many excellent opportunities to work on composition and subject development, and also see how the light changes and affects your photographs throughout the evening. For the well-seasoned photographer, Rockport has just so much of interest to offer that you can work on creating more complex compositions and other advanced themes in your work. This is truly one of the best places at any level to photograph.
