What to Bring:
  • You will be able to bring a full-sized camera bag into the State House. However, use your best judgment. This is a state-facility, so make sure to eliminate items from your bags that may seem objectionable to bring in, such as knives, pocket tools, or anything that could be misconstrued as a weapon.
  • Consider to only bring what you want to carry. Long telephoto lenses are not necessary. Wide angle and standard lenses will be optimal, but low apertures will be better if possible. You should consider bringing a prime lens for indoor low-light shooting.
  • You may bring a tripod, but depending on the lens you are using, you may not want to bring one. There may be situations where you may not want to use your tripod due to location constraints.
  • It is worth nothing to be mindful of others while at the State House.
  • Bring water and snacks if you wish.
  • Bring an extra camera battery if you have one.

Basic Knowledge of your Camera

Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a photo walk in one of Boston’s most distinctive buildings and one of Boston’s most recognizable areas: The Massachusetts State House and Acorn St. During the walk we will discuss Subject Development, Image Composition, Long Exposures, Black and White Photography, HDR, and especially Architectural Photography.
Overlooking historic Boston Common is the distinctive Massachusetts State House. Built in 1798, the State House is known for its very visible golden dome, but the interior is equally as impressive and beautiful. Featuring beautiful polished granite, Greek revival columns, sweeping staircases, long corridors, legislative meeting rooms, and a stunning rotunda, the State House provides ample opportunity for creating stunning images.
