Allentown Halloween Parade






It was cold, but what a fun time. The parade started at 2pm and went on for a few hours. There were marching bands, clowns, hummers,Shriners in mini cars and ya, one of the bands played "Thriller". Its a Halloween tradition,right?
I'm not used to photographing an 'event'. Its a different feel to it. With landscape or still life, you adjust for the light and composition. With a moving subject/subjects, you need to act more like a ninja to capture a different kind of shot. It forces you to think differently. You have to be more spontaneous. Its good practice and improves your skill, even if you dont think you got any good shots. You tried and did your best with what you knew at that moment. Skill comes with practice.Lots of it. And hey, everybody makes mistakes.
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”"
