I am going to shoot an evening parade with Christmas trees and Santa and the like. Do you have any helpful tips?

I have a 50 1.2 and an 85 1.2 , 70-200mm 2.8 and a wide angle which I am going to bring. I have other lenses.

    Thank you so much! That helps a lot.

    I don’t have many options for the part of the parade that happens after sunset. I just went to the site at the time I am supposed to shoot and it was very dark. Hardly any light. No street lights, just some Christmas lights wrapped around some trees.

    I am going to go much earlier to capture as much as I can when there is available light.

    I saw similar events from the paper and they were all earlier in the day.

    I won’t provide previews. I just have a deadline, which I can easily meet.

    They are on site, so it is a great idea to tell them I have finished and if they want anything more.

    They did say they want close ups of people, but they did not say anyone specific. Just people I find interesting. That is one of my strengths.
