Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a unique, fun, and picturesque Photo Walk involving creating long exposure light trails from spinning wool! Spinning wool to create sparks is a fun (and fairly easy) exercise, but requires a bit of explanation and some safety tips. Hunt’s Photo Educator Ron Phillips will be giving a lesson in how to spin wool and will discuss everything from safety precautions, execution on how to spin for greater effect, and how to integrate it with your camera in long exposures. A tripod is required for this walk.
