Developing Black & White Film- Hunt's Photo Waltham
2025-09-10 18:00 - 20:00, 2025-10-12 12:00 - 14:00
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.
Please 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.
We 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!)
We 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!

Online: Multi-Session Series- Mastering Manual Mode
2025-09-10 19:00 - 20:30
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for our Multi-Session Series. In our Multi-Session Series, we will meet over the course of a number of weeks, generally at the same time each week. During that time, we will discuss a specific element of a topic and end the session by giving a photographic assignment. That assignment will be due for completion before the next class meeting, and we will review those images at the start of the next session. If for some reason you cannot attend one of the sessions, don’t worry! They will be recorded and you will be able to watch them at your leisure!
Our Multi-Session Series is designed to “keep the conversation going” by engaging with our attendees in a more personal way. In each of these classes, we will have 10-15 attendees and provide direct feedback on images. We encourage photographers of all skill levels to consider these classes, as they will build upon your experience and provide an excellent chance to work on your imagery!
Mastering Manual Mode
Learning about photography can be a real challenge. There are so many pieces to the puzzle of photography, some of which use confusing terminology. For this reason, we often start newcomers off using the Priority Modes because it’s “easier”. In reality, these priority modes are just a short-term solution. It’s important to fully understand the “why” and “how” of your camera settings, and learning to master manual is an excellent way to do so.
This Multi-Session Series will focus on Mastering Manual Mode. In week 1, we’ll cover the technical side of aperture, shutter, and ISO. We’ll also discuss metering modes, reading your meter, and understanding histograms. In week 2, we’ll learn to control depth of field, focusing, and how lens choice affects aperture choice. By week 3, we’ll discuss how to use shutter speed effectively to either blur your motion or freeze your action. We’ll talk about shooting at night and in low light. We’ll also talk about ISO and how it controls image noise. In week 4, we’ll put everything together by discussing dynamic range, white balance, and how to get the correct exposure in camera every time. We’ll also answer the most important question of all: which change should I make to achieve my desired results?
Each week Emily will give an assignment to help further the topics covered in that week’s class. Students are encouraged to send in assignments that will be individually critiqued by Emily each week. This is a great opportunity to enhance your exposure skills while getting direct feedback on your week.

Intermediate Photography: Getting the Look in Your Photography- Hunt's Photo, Waltham
2025-10-22 18:00 - 20:00
Intermediate Photography – Getting the Look is designed to help you expand on your foundational technical knowledge while diving deeper into the creative side of photography. In this class, you’ll learn how to shape the “look” of your images by using light, shadow, color, and composition as storytelling tools. We’ll explore how creative choices influence mood, energy, and emotion—helping you capture not just what a subject looks like, but what it feels like.
In Intermediate Photography – Getting the Look, we’ll go beyond exposure and focus on crafting photographs with intention. Through hands-on exercises, we’ll explore how to use color theory, light and shadow, and compositional techniques to enhance storytelling and create photographs with mood and impact. By the end of the class, you’ll feel more confident in making creative choices that give your images their own distinct look and feel.
Taking our Beginner Photography OR Digital Photo Basics 1 and 2 classes (or equivalent experience) is recommended prior to this course.
