Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we explore and photograph the historic Public Garden in Boston on Memorial Day weekend. On this walk, we will emphasize working in morning light, with an emphasis on settings and techniques for subject development, black and white photography, composition and more. The morning light in and around the Gardens is distinctively different than in the evening (which we will be photographing the day prior), and equally as beautiful. Our main focus will be on the impressive yearly flag display at the Common and all elements having to do with it.
