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.

I just shot a night time day of the dead parade. I hadn't shot at night for awhile. No flash, just ambient light ( street and building lights) Was shooting at 1600 but quickly went to 6400+ ISO. Many shots were blurry but some real keepers though.

I would shoot with your fastest lenses to temper the ISO setting. And, as others stated walk the route around the planned time and shoot the traffic to work out your settings.

I was planning on using Auto ISO.
