TUTORIAL : Shooting 1. Get There Early Some of the most compelling parade images can be made an hour before it even starts. By arriving early, you’ll see participants milling around and getting ready. Members of the armed forces will be in uniform while band members tune instruments and clowns apply their last bit of makeup. Since they are not yet performing, the mood is more relaxed. If your goal is to shoot portraits, this is an ideal time to do so. Once the marching begins, you can follow along from the sidewalk. PicsArt Monthly |31
