COVID-19 Policies for outdoor Hunt’s Photo Walks and Workshops
Face masks are not required for our outdoor Photo Walks. We ask that you maintain social distance whenever possible.
As always, if you are sick or feeling unwell, STAY HOME! We will gladly give you a credit towards a future walk.

Important Notes:
If you are attending this walk, we will send out more specific instructions to you a few days prior to the walk. Please note: Some slight details above can be subject to change. This email will detail any of those minor changes.

Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we explore Horn Pond’s 102-acre body of water along the Aberjona River in Woburn, Massachusetts and focus on locating and photographing the many birds that inhabit the area! Of greatest importance, we will work on understanding and executing the appropriate settings on our cameras! We may have a chance at some hummingbirds, as well as other birds in the area, and we will benefit from the flowers of the season. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend!
Horn Pond is a wonderfully scenic area, offering many outdoor activities such as hiking and bike riding. These same trails are an excellent place to explore many types of photographic opportunities, emphasizing nature, landscape, and macro. On many of our walks, the quality of day can positively or negatively affect how our images turn out. On this walk, we will emphasize making the best out of any situation, whether cloudy, sunny or rainy (well, not too rainy). Bring your creative thoughts!
We recommend having both a standard zoom lens and telephoto zoom lens, preferably one that will go to 200mm or above.
Please note: There will be a good amount of walking on this Photo Walk. Nothing too treacherous, but make sure to wear comfortable shoes!
