2. A Longer Lens is Best At a large event, access can be limited due to thick crowds and police barriers. If I had to choose one lens for a parade, it would be a medium telephoto zoom in the 55-200mm range. This gives you the ability to photograph subjects that are further away. It also means you won’t have to jockey for a place in the front row. To get a better perspective, you may even want to stand on street benches or the base of lamp posts. PicsArt Monthly |33
