SUMMARY:Hunt's Photo Adventure: The Azores
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description\nImmerse yourself in the beauty of São Miguel\, Flores\, Corvo and Terceira Island\, capturing stunning moments along the way. Join this unforgettable journey with Hunt’s Photo Adventures and landscape photographer and native Azorean Bruno Ázera to discover the unique charm of each island through your lens. (All photos on this page are courtesy and used with permission from Bruno Ázera.)  \nThe Azores are nine beautiful islands located in the North Atlantic Ocean. The archipelago benefits from a mild\, temperate climate year-round\, making it an appealing destination in any season. Temperatures are relatively stable\, with moderate rainfall\, contributing to the island’s lush green landscapes. The location of the Azores has historically made it an important waypoint for transatlantic navigation\, still contributing to a significant route and meteorological studies. \nThe islands are getting more and more renowned for their breathtaking landscapes and sea views\, including volcanic craters\, the lush green valleys and dramatic coastlines. Each one of the nine islands offers a distinct experience as well as a safe and pristine place to visit. \nThe Azores provides the opportunity to immerse yourself in the unique culture\, warm-hearted people and photographic treasures. From volcanic villages and hot springs to captivating whale-watching excursions\, here is the perfect spot for those with a sense of adventure. For ocean enthusiasts\, the waters around the archipelago are a hotspot for whale and dolphin watching\, with species like sperm whales\, blue whales and orcas. \nThe Azores are a paradise in the middle of the Atlantic\, once you arrive every moment is an opportunity to capture the magic of these islands. \nItinerary: \nDay 1 – São Miguel\nWelcome to João Paulo II airport in Ponta Delgada. Have the day to relax or explore the surrounding beaches. Later\, we’ll pick you up for a welcome dinner at a local restaurant—an ideal opportunity to ask questions\, bond with fellow travelers\, and share in the anticipation of the journey ahead. \nFor sunset we head to picturesque beaches of Santa Bárbara and Monte Verde. Alternatively\, we may head to the jagged cliffs of Miradouro do Cintrão\, providing a breathtaking view of the north coast and the majestic Sete Cidades volcano in the background. Get ready for a day filled with exploration\, delicious cuisine\, and the perfect moments to capture with your camera. \nDay 2 – São Miguel\nThe day starts at Lagoa do Fogo volcanic lake\, one of the highest points of the island. If you have a drone\, take full advantage of it to capture unique perspectives up here. \nAfter lunch\, our journey heads west to explore the volcanic crater of Sete Cidades\, home to the captivating multi-colored lakes of Lagoa Verde and Azul. It’s a truly incredible sight\, providing a sense of the surrounding area. If you’re into adventurous activities\, kayaking and paddleboarding are delightful options on these scenic lakes. \nOur next destination is one of the Azores’ highlights—the Grota do Inferno viewpoint. While the crater lakes of Sete Cidades can be admired from various vantage points\, this spot stands out as one of the best. For those equipped with a drone\, capturing Lagoa do Canário from the air reveals an intriguing and visually stunning shape. \nFor sunset\, we head to Mosteiros Beach to capture the last light of the day in a beautiful seascape photography location. \nDay 3 – São Miguel\nOur morning begins at the Santa Iria viewpoint for a captivating sunrise overlooking the north coastline of the Island. \nAfter breakfast we head to Lagoa das Furnas—a spectacular crater lake offering opportunities to photograph mud pools and steaming geothermal features. \nOur journey continues to the Terra Nostra Park\, renowned as one of the most beautiful gardens\, featuring inviting thermal pools. Remember to pack your swimwear\, as temperatures range between 35 and 40 degrees Celsius\, providing a soothing and relaxing experience for the remainder of the day. \nFor lunch we try the famous local dish\, Cozido das Furnas\, uniquely cooked by volcanic steam. Indulge in the sweet muffins look-alike known as bolo lêvedo\, adding a delightful local flavor to our experience. \nIn the afternoon\, we venture to the oldest tea plantation in Europe\, Gorreana Tea plantation. Discover the intricacies of the factory and its scenic surroundings. The unique landscape\, shaped by the vibrant green tea leaves\, offers endless possibilities for captivating photography. \nAs the day unfolds\, we head back to the island’s coastline to capture the mesmerizing colors of the sunset\, concluding the day with the perfect photographic moment. \nDay 4 – São Miguel / Flores\nWe kick off our morning with a visit to one of the most unique locations in São Miguel\, the Vila Franca Islet\, renowned for its unique geological formation. This islet features a volcanic crater that has partially collapsed\, allowing seawater to enter and form a natural circular pool inside the crater. To capture truly distinctive perspectives\, a bird’s eye view from a drone is essential. \nTime to pack because another island is expecting us. \nWelcome to the best-kept secret of Europe—the wild and beautiful Island of Flores. \nAfter settling into our accommodations we have some time to relax before we head out to the impressive basalt columns of Rocha dos Bordões. The variety of compositions you can create at this location is truly remarkable. \nFor the last light of the day we explore the waterfalls of the western part of the island\, overlooking the majestic Ribeira Grande waterfall and Poço da Ribeira do Ferreiro. \nDay 5 – Flores\nOur day kicks off with a sunrise at the scenic Baía da Alagoa\, a rocky bay offering a mesmerizing view of rugged basalt sea stacks as our main subject\, with Corvo Island in the background. \nOur next stop is the picturesque town of Santa Cruz and it’s natural basalt swimming pools\, an excellent photographic opportunity to play with long exposure techniques. \nAfter lunch we get together for an editing session before we head out for the last light of the day to one of the most beautiful spots of the Azores. A short hike takes us to the stunning waterfalls of Poço da Ribeira do Ferreiro. Nestled at the base of the waterfalls is an astonishing lagoon\, offering a variety of exciting compositions for your photography. \nDay 6 – Flores\nThe weather in the Azores\, especially in Flores\, is notoriously unpredictable\, with rapid changes that may require us to always have a plan B\, so our sixth day starts with the panoramic views of Lagoa Negra (the deepest lagoon in the Azores) and Lagoa Comprida\, or Lagoa Rasa and Lagoa Funda\, offering a fascinating rugged landscape characterized by differences in altitude and color between the two lagoons. \nAfter lunch take some time to rest or jump to the waters of the Atlantic ocean\, our accommodations are right in front of natural swimming pools. \nIn the evening we head north\, where we explore the rugged north coastline of Ponta Delgada\, stopping at viewpoints along the way. The day concludes at the impressive Baía do Além\, offering striking seascapes in its surroundings with Albarnaz lighthouse perched on the edge of the cliffs. Be prepared for the unexpected and embrace the dynamic beauty of Flores. \nDay 7 – Flores / Corvo\nDepending on the conditions of the Atlantic\, our day is dedicated to discovering the Island of Corvo with Carlos Mendes of Extreme Ocidente. Our boat ride takes us through the impressive coastline of Flores\, showcasing jaw-dropping waterfalls and caves. There’s also a high likelihood of encountering dolphins and other whales during our journey. Once in Corvo we’ll get to a short ride to the Caldeira. \nDay 8 – Flores / Terceira\nWe fly to Terceira Island\, home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angra do Heroísmo. Get to know this beautiful and charming city\, different patterns and colors from the Portuguese architecture make for very interesting subjects. \nNext in our list are the forests of the Island and the Black Forest\, a unique location with dense vegetation where light struggles to penetrate\, ensuring every photograph is a one-of-a-kind capture\, specially if the fog rolls in. \nFor sunset\, we visit Biscoitos. A picturesque town\, known for its wine-growing region and even more for its beautiful natural pools. The rugged black-colored lava fields sculpted by waves make for really interesting seascapes. \nDay 9 – Terceira\nOur morning starts in the south coast of the Island at Serretinha natural swimming pools\, overlooking Ilhéu das Cabras in the background\, a fantastic spot for the first light of the day. \nNext\, we head out to the most picturesque volcano cone in the Azores\, Pico Dona Joana. With Ilhéu das Cabras in the background has to be one of the most unique perspectives you will see in the Azores. \nShort break before we head out to Praia da Vitória to have lunch and enjoy the view of the beach. Terceira Island is known to have the best food of the Azores\, so we have to make the best out of it. \nOur next stop we reach one of the island’s highlights\, Algar do Carvão\, the only volcano in the world that you can walk inside. While tripods are not allowed\, be sure to bring your fastest and widest lens for this extraordinary experience. \nConsidered one of the most beautiful viewpoint in Portugal\, we reserved the best for the last day. The unique view of the interior of the island\, known as the “patchwork”\, consisting of walls of volcanic stones dividing the farmer fields into square-shaped figures\, makes Serra do Cume the epic spot to photograph the first light of the day. \nDay 10 – Terceira\nEnjoy a final breakfast together\, reminiscing about the incredible moments shared during the tour. Unfortunately\, it’s time to say goodbye and fly home. \nWe hope you cherish all of these amazing memories and fantastic photographs from the Azores. \nYour Trip Includes:\n• All local transportation\, including airport pickup and drop off\n• Accommodations during the workshop\n• Opening night reception dinner and closing night dinner\n• No single supplement pricing!\n• English-speaking professional drivers\, and licensed\, local guides\n• Professional photographer-guide/teacher (Don Toothaker) \nYour Trip Does Not Include:\n• Flights to and from the Azores (Ponta Delgada- PDL) \n• Meals (except opening and closing night)\n• Travel insurance (which is highly recommended for all travelers) \nYour passport will be required on this workshop. \nSkill Sets: All Levels of Photographers are Welcome\, but please note: This is a photography workshop.\nPhysical Activity: Medium.

SUMMARY:Developing Black & White Film- Hunt's Photo Providence
DESCRIPTION:Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we discuss all the key elements of loading and developing film\, and get you to develop a roll on your own! In this workshop\, we will show you how to load film into a developing tank\, discuss the elements of the chemistry involved\, and other various aspects. Because of the many variables\, we will only be using one specific type of developer\, but we will discuss the possibilities of other developers available and their advantages. \nPlease note: This class caters to black & white film developing only! We will also have a color film developing class. All film classes can be found here. \nWe will provide tanks\, reels\, chemistry\, and basically anything that you need to develop your film. All you will need to have is a roll of film to develop. (Make sure that roll is black and white and NOT C-41 black and white\, as that cannot be developed in black and white chemistry!) \nWe will also include a free scan of your film after it has been processed! Since your film will be wet at the end of the session\, you will leave it to dry so it can be scanned. The digital scans will be sent directly to your email address. If you would like the negatives to be shipped to another store for pickup\, we can gladly do that!

SUMMARY:Multi-Session Series- Adobe Lightroom Classic- File Management & Editing (Part 3)- Hunt's Photo\, Melrose
DESCRIPTION:This is a great opportunity to build up your editing skills in Lightroom!\nAdobe Lightroom is the choice program for professionals and amateurs\, with ever-growing capabilities and options. However\, there are many levels to understanding in the program. How do we organize our photos? What do we do to make basic changes? Once we learn those changes\, how can we ?step it up? and figure out what to we?re supposed to do? How do we make images pop? And finally\, how do we put it all together and making finishing touches to our images.\nJoin Hunt’s Photo Education for a course that helps answer many of these questions. Often\, Lightroom users struggle with the inability to determine what changes are ?good? or ?correct?. While those terms are subjective\, we will help you along in the editing process to see how to make determinations along the way.\nThis is a Multi-Session Class! In Week 1\, we will begin by discussing how to organize your images for quick retrieval via keywords\, ratings\, and more\, as well as giving a description on how to consider organizing your photos on your computer. Specifically\, we will cover brief computer file management\, the importance of keywords\, flagging and rating photos\, and searching metadata to find images. In Week 2\, we?ll start with the basic adjustments using Basic Development controls. More than anything\, we will be emphasizing global changes and understanding what can be done with an image in Lightroom. We?ll then dive into Color\, Curves\, Contrast & Clarity & Texture. These changes will help make your images pop. In Week 3\, we?ll discuss advanced editing\, including local adjustments\, such as radial and graduated filters\, and how to ?finish? the image- sharpening\, noise reduction\, and more.\nIn-between each session\, we will give assignments to help you become more proficient and grasp the material! This class is strongly recommended for anyone looking to further their skills with Lightroom!\nAn important note about this course! There are now a few different versions of Adobe Lightroom right now. This course is specifically on Adobe Lightroom Classic. The other version of Lightroom\, commonly known as ?Adobe Lightroom CC? (yes\, we understand you may be confused by this) is a more mobile and cloud-based program. The look and feel of the program is completely different? This course is specifically on Adobe Lightroom Classic. (See graphic on the right.) If you are unsure\, feel free to email us at classes@huntsphoto.com. Important: If you are taking this course\, make sure to download/update the program in advance\, as you will not be able to download the program at the store. Older versions\, such as Lightroom 5 or 6\, are also acceptable\, though not all functions will be available.

SUMMARY:Hunt's Portrait Workshop: Urban Portraits in Lowell with Natural Light (and Flash!)
DESCRIPTION:Join Hunt’s Photo Education for another entry in our series of portrait workshops where we will be utilizing the natural\, urban environment to work into our portraits. Brick buildings and cityscapes will all work into our compositions as we create a more working class feel in our portraits–a very unique look. To a certain extent\, these will be environmental portraits where the environment plays a role in creating the scene. Utilizing your environment in photographs is key to creating a fun portrait shoot! We will emphasize creating these portraits using available light through subject placement and composition with the aid of diffusers and reflectors. We will then separately demonstrate reasons to add in flash.\nWe will begin photographing late afternoon in the sunlight (and shade) and work to sunset along the Merrimack River along the Riverwalk in Lowell. We will be using Westcott (FJ80\, FJ200\, FJ400) strobes/flashes as well as Westcott diffusers\, both of which are excellent brands for creating stunning portraits.\nThis workshop will be co-taught by Hunt’s Photo Educator Paul Nelson and professional photographer Henry Marte. Both have extensive portrait experience and will take you through the full process\, from naturally lighting a subject\, to how to properly expose while using strobes\, to how to actually use the strobes themselves!\nPhotographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend. \nAbout Henry Marte\nHenry is a published photographer and credited filmmaker. He specializes in various forms of photography\, including portrait\, events\, headshots\, drone\, and commercial photography. Other than attending MassArt’s Documentary Film School\, he is almost entirely self taught. He runs a small media production studio called Marte Media\, based out of Western Avenue Studios in Lowell. Some of his clients include Spartan Race\, UMass Lowell\, Phillips Academy\, Navigation Brewing Company\, and more. Originally from NYC\, he now calls Lowell\, Massachusetts his home. He enjoys New York style pizza\, walks with a camera\, and hiking to active volcanoes.

SUMMARY:Hunt's Photo Walk: "Details" at Olde Sturbridge Village
DESCRIPTION:Located an hour west of Boston\, Sturbridge Village is a proud replication of an 18th century New England town. Sturbridge Village is a living history museum that features many authentic period buildings and homes to explore and enjoy. The village is also inhabited by re-enactors who provide colorful insight to life in New England during the 18th century. Sturbridge Village is a wonderful destination for a multitude of photographic opportunities as well as a glimpse into a bygone era.\nOlde Sturbridge Village is perhaps one of the best places to have both a Photo Walk and a class. There’s a little bit of everything at this living history museum\, from macro and closeup with fine details to architecture\, from portraits to landscapes. We will photograph both indoors and outdoors\, in regular light as well as very low light. We will discuss how to work with subjects to create a story\, and also work on settings to fine-tune focus and exposure! This Photo Walk is one of the best opportunities to build your photographic knowledge\, no matter what level. This walk is equally as beneficial as a first walk or a twentieth walk\, as the area has so much to offer!\nJoin us for a great experience!\nPlease note: The cost of your ticket does NOT include the cost of your entrance into Olde Sturbridge Village\, which can be purchased here: https://www.osv.org/plan-your-visit/

SUMMARY:Multi-Session Series- Adobe Lightroom Classic- File Management & Editing (Part 2)- Hunt's Photo\, Melrose
DESCRIPTION:This is a great opportunity to build up your editing skills in Lightroom!\nAdobe Lightroom is the choice program for professionals and amateurs\, with ever-growing capabilities and options. However\, there are many levels to understanding in the program. How do we organize our photos? What do we do to make basic changes? Once we learn those changes\, how can we ?step it up? and figure out what to we?re supposed to do? How do we make images pop? And finally\, how do we put it all together and making finishing touches to our images.\nJoin Hunt’s Photo Education for a course that helps answer many of these questions. Often\, Lightroom users struggle with the inability to determine what changes are ?good? or ?correct?. While those terms are subjective\, we will help you along in the editing process to see how to make determinations along the way.\nThis is a Multi-Session Class! In Week 1\, we will begin by discussing how to organize your images for quick retrieval via keywords\, ratings\, and more\, as well as giving a description on how to consider organizing your photos on your computer. Specifically\, we will cover brief computer file management\, the importance of keywords\, flagging and rating photos\, and searching metadata to find images. In Week 2\, we?ll start with the basic adjustments using Basic Development controls. More than anything\, we will be emphasizing global changes and understanding what can be done with an image in Lightroom. We?ll then dive into Color\, Curves\, Contrast & Clarity & Texture. These changes will help make your images pop. In Week 3\, we?ll discuss advanced editing\, including local adjustments\, such as radial and graduated filters\, and how to ?finish? the image- sharpening\, noise reduction\, and more.\nIn-between each session\, we will give assignments to help you become more proficient and grasp the material! This class is strongly recommended for anyone looking to further their skills with Lightroom!\nAn important note about this course! There are now a few different versions of Adobe Lightroom right now. This course is specifically on Adobe Lightroom Classic. The other version of Lightroom\, commonly known as ?Adobe Lightroom CC? (yes\, we understand you may be confused by this) is a more mobile and cloud-based program. The look and feel of the program is completely different? This course is specifically on Adobe Lightroom Classic. (See graphic on the right.) If you are unsure\, feel free to email us at classes@huntsphoto.com. Important: If you are taking this course\, make sure to download/update the program in advance\, as you will not be able to download the program at the store. Older versions\, such as Lightroom 5 or 6\, are also acceptable\, though not all functions will be available.
