Thanks guys. It was definitely colourful and a lot of fun (well as much as I could have after dragging myself out out bed from the bad cold I've been suffering from).
I've learned with parades that the best spot for pics it at the very end. That way you aren't behind barriers and rows and rows of people. As you can see from here I was able to get right out on the street with them.
Very cool, and what vibrant colour. Thanks for sharing these with us all ASnow.
Lots of color and action, but I really like the 1st one of the second set - everyone taking a break and catching their breath.
Thanks Q1 and HBG.
Q1 - Interesting the pic you chose. I was debating whether to include that one and in the end decided to.
Looks awesome. I have to go there some time.
Great set asnow - a fun parade.
It is a lot of fun. People really get into it.
Avangard - Try it some time. A little trick I've discovered for most parades. Go at the very end of the parade (in this case on Lakeshore near the Boulevard Club as you can see from the pedestrian bridge in pic 1)). That way you can get right on the street with them.
Lots of colors! Nevertheless, IMO images all too busy. It is our task to really isolate the main subject from all the non interesting stuff around.
I live nearby and always mean to go with my camera but I've yet to make it. I think you may have inspired me to try for next year, though. Great to see these!
