Airtime!

A lot of the pictures I took of the parade are mediocre at best, because there are street lights and power lines in the way. (The joys of shooting through an office window!) But there are some shots that are improved by the height:


I saw the Edmonton Eskimoes Cheer Team setting up, and I just pointed at them and hit continuous shot - which resulted in this great shot. I'm very pleased!

1/250 exposure (0.004 sec), focal length 45.6mm, aperture f/5.0, ISO 80. Nothing else fancy!

Parade Day!

I love parades. I think they are a ridiculous amount of fun and silliness. Consider yourself forewarned for a few days of parade-ness!


Before a parade, you often find different costumed people, clowns, etc. wandering around entertaining the waiting crowds. Here we had someone in an awesome snail costume! Note the brilliant skateboard under the snail shell, to keep it from dragging on the ground.

Taken from an office window, a block away, and then cropped to reduce the busy-ness.
