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.

    I’d probably go 85 1.2, 70-200, and a ultrawide. If you’re far off from the parade then maybe a little longer but I feel like that’ll cover you.

      I shoot RAW only. I am using a Z9 and I will definitely bring my flash with diffuser.

    Also, if you’re walking in a parade, keep your head on a swivel. This will enable you to not only spot good photo opportunities, but help keep you safe and out of the way of people in the parade. Those float drivers don’t always have the best visibility, and you can’t get good shots if you’re dead or in the hospital.
