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 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.

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.
