SUMMARY:Hunt's Photo Adventure: The 2026 Total Eclipse AND The Golden Circle in Iceland
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description\nOn August 12th\, 2026 the west-end of Iceland will be treated to a spectacular total solar eclipse\, the rarest of them all\, where the moon perfectly obscures the sun. The path of total shadow (umbra) across the Earth’s surface width of 30-50 miles while the path of partial shadow (penumbra) can reach over 1\,000 miles wide attaining a speed of 1\,600 miles per hour. In this case\, the eclipse will be visible only on the east-end of Iceland for a total of 2 hours and 1 minute. \nOn this unique\, once-in-a-lifetime workshop\, we will be discussing and instructing on how to photograph the total solar eclipse\, then put our practice to the test by photographing the eclipse from an excellent (currently undisclosed*) location. \nIn preparation for the workshop\, we will make sure you are aware of the proper gear you will need to bring\, from filters to cameras and lenses to tripods and more! We will meet online\, via a webinar\, about a month prior\, to discuss more of the specifics and give you a “dry run” of the process. We will maximize our time in the field practicing our “eclipse timing” and spend the day running through the whole setup\, including composition\, camera settings\, when to utilize filters\, how to execute bracketing\, and more so that you are fully prepared during the eclipse. We will also have time available for post-processing\, which is extremely unique to this type of photography. \nAfter the Eclipse\, we will also have the added bonus…of touring Iceland\, where we will tour and photograph “the Golden Circle”. \nThis will include Gullfoss waterfall\, Geysir Geothermal field and Þingvellir National Park\, all of which must-sees for everyone visiting Iceland. Þinvellir was accepted on the World Heritage list for cultural values in 2004 and is part of a fissure zone running through Iceland\, being situated on the tectonic plate boundaries of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This gives us amazing landscapes to photograph! \nFor many\, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you don’t want to miss!!! \n  \nEclipse Time Schedule (shown in local time) \n• Sunrise will be at approximately 5:08 am \n• Sunset will be at approximately 10:03 pm \n• We will have a total of 16 hours and 55 minutes of daylight \n• C1 (start of eclipse) is at 4:45:25 pm \n• C2 (start of totality) is at 5:46:15 pm \n• C3 (end of totality) is at 5:48:03 pm (a total of 1 minute 48 seconds) \n• C4 (ending) is at 6:46:15 pm \n• Total Duration is 2 hours and 1 minute \n*We will be viewing the eclipse from an un-specified location because eclipse locations can become over-crowded if advertised on the internet. We will share that information with you upon registration. \n  \nFull Workshop Itinerary \n• Day 1- August 10th- Arrival at KEF\, airport pickup and transfer to hotel in Reykjavik. We will have a “meet & greet” dinner at the hotel.

SUMMARY:Hunt's Photo Adventure: Autumn in New Orleans & The Louisiana Bayou
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description \nHunt’s Photo Adventure leaders Bob Fletcher and Jeff Swinger invite you to a unique Photo Adventure to New Orleans & the Louisiana Bayou. The trip will have a variety of subjects\, from street photography and architecture to wildlife and swampy landscapes!\nThe first two days we will be exploring New Orleans’s French Quarter\, Bourbon Street\, the Garden District\, and the Gothic above-ground cemetery that you have seen so often on television and in movies. You will be photographing architecture and street performers\, riding on a historic streetcar\, and enjoying the warm ambiance of New Orleans. \nThe rest of the days\, prepare yourself for an adventure through the swamps and bayous of Louisiana. You will embark on your journey in a custom-built vessel with a covered roof to keep you dry and cool. Tours are narrated by Capt. Billy Gaston\, who was born and raised in the Bayou. Toilet facilities are available on board the boat with special attention given to seniors and the physically challenged. \nThe cypress swamps of Louisiana are beautifully scenic\, but can be difficult to photograph without a boat to access most of the photogenic areas and an experienced guide to get you there. Photographing out of boats\, you will be shooting mostly handheld.  Wildlife like egrets\, herons\, turtles\, snakes\, owls\, and alligators can be common sightings in the swamp. You will want to bring a variety of focal lengths from wide angle to telephoto to get the most out of your trip. Early November to mid-December is the best time to be in the swamps. Wildlife is preparing for winter and is active and abundant. The cypress trees can take on a rusty appearance and fog can be common in the mornings. \n \nItinerary\nThis photography workshop begins in New Orleans\, where we’ll immerse ourselves in the energy and character of the French Quarter. From historic streets and iconic architecture to street performers and classic New Orleans flavors\, the city provides endless opportunities for storytelling and candid photography\, both day and night. We’ll explore at a relaxed pace\, focusing on capturing the spirit and visual rhythm of the Quarter. \n  \nMidway through the trip\, we head south to Morgan City and into the heart of Louisiana’s bayou country. Here\, the focus shifts to wildlife and landscape photography as we explore winding waterways by boat with a local Cajun guide. Cypress trees\, moss-draped swamps\, and native wildlife—including alligators and birdlife—create a completely different visual experience. Sunrise and afternoon sessions allow us to work in the best light\, with time built in for image review and post-processing discussions. One day includes a catered Southern Low Country shrimp boil lunch in the bayou\, paired with live local musicians for entertainment—an authentic Cajun experience between shooting sessions. The workshop concludes with a relaxed return to New Orleans for departures. \n\n  \nWhat’s included: \n\nIn-field instruction throughout the entire workshop\nPost-production time using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop\nImage reviews and critiques\, as requested\nAll local vehicle transportation and tour boat transportation with our local guide\nLocal Cajun guide and boat captain\, born and raised in the bayou\n\nWhat’s not included: \n\nFlight and baggage to and from New Orleans\nLodging\nMeals\nTips to our local guide and Cajun musicians\nTrip insurance\, which is recommended for any Hunt’s Photo Adventure\n\nSkill Sets: All Levels of Photographers are Welcome\nPhysical Activity: Low to Mild\, mostly just walking \nIn this workshop we will cover: \n\nTracking Focus\nExposure\nComposition\nMetering\nUse of Lenses\nSubject Development\nCreative Thinking\nShooting in Low Light\n\n  \nRecommended gear: \nCamera(s)\, plenty of memory cards and camera batteries\nWide angle\, standard\, and telephoto lenses (If you are looking for a lens to rent\, you can rent it from us at rentals.huntsphoto.com!)\nTripod and/or monopod\nPolarizers and Neutral Density filters\nSunscreen\, bug repellent \nTravel information to MSY\nArrive by Nov. 2nd before 11:00 am.  At 11:00 am on Nov. 2nd there will be a group pick-up at Louis Armstrong Int’l Airport (MSY).  You will be returned to MSY by 1:00 pm on Nov. 7th for your flight home.  If these dates and/or times do not work for you\, consider coming in a day earlier or staying a day later. \nHotel information \nLodging is not included in the cost of this Adventure. Hotel reservations have been secured for the group in New Orleans and Morgan City\, LA. This essential information will be shared during the registration process once full payment for the workshop has been completed. After that\, please contact the hotels directly and provide them with your name and credit card details to finalize your room reservation. \nAbout Weather \nNovember brings comfortable temperatures in Louisiana\, with lows in the 50’s and highs in the mid-70s\, ideal for exploring and photographing outdoors.\nParticipants should use ONE (1) soft-sided rolling duffle for luggage and ONE (1) camera case.  Pack conservatively as the portage room is limited. \nPayments\nA non-refundable deposit of 25% is required upon registration to secure a spot. The remaining balance is due 60 days before the start of the workshop. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for any Hunt’s Photo Adventure in case you need to cancel.
