A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I have been commissioned to shoot an evening Christmas Parade. I have never done one. Any tips? (alien.top)

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.

Scout the location for good viewpoints and angles (same time as the parade).

Probably a good idea to carry two cameras with different lenses.

Unfortunately, I only have the single camera so I have to change lenses. I’m waiting for the next gen Z9 to come out before I get another camera.

Going to the location the night before is a good idea.

You could rent one.
