In the town I'm in they have an evening Christmas Parade
Hard thing is,
to get photos or videos you have to have the right light.

I finally had to start going more up the street where the
street lights were.

When Santa came I kept getting him turned waving the other
way finally, I decided just to follow the procession and see
if I could get a better picture of Santa.

Not sure if I was able to get a good pic or not, I'll have to
review my SD card and see later.

Have you seen any good floats,
they did have a Grinchy Float though.

Well whether there on Harley's or scooters
It's pretty (in the words of Jim)cool to see all the
Santa's together,
they can ride to the tune of
"Ride Sally ride" only put in "Ride Santa Ride"
ehehhehehehehheh :wink:

You have to have no flash, put to manually and a tripod here is a link to do it below

I do have a one pole tripod but I didn't take it,
I didn't figure on walking all over town just to get
a pic of Santa, but I did, next time I should remember
that ol' saying,
"always be prepared"

I did use the flash, since it was nighttime
You are probably right that I shouldn't have
use the flash but the street lighting was very poor.


Thanks for suggesting the online help though
wow you can do alot with pic touch ups
even make yourself look skinnier
That's an interesting one to watch
