Hugh Carey: Homecoming Parade Shriners

Shutter: 1/60
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 400
WB: Cloudy

A homecoming parade would be a little boring without Shriners whizzing by in their carts. The word, “whizzing by,” couldn’t be made without a panning shot. I had plenty of time take many photos to get the right shutter speed as they made multiple drive-by loops by me. I also had to find a good background. I looked around parts of the parade route for a bigger crowd lined up along the street plus darkish background to bring out the color of his green cart and jacket. When I found a spot, I advanced ahead of the Shriners and got on my knees and set the right shutter speed and clicked away as they passed by.
