Try shooting multiple bursts.
There will be parades in many (if not all) towns and cities between today and Monday. Try to see one and of course, bring your camera. It doesn’t matter what type or brand you own–it’s all about filling the frame with an interesting subject. Try to get many band members, then isolate just a one. What a difference a zoom makes. Consider yourself the zoomer if you have a fixed focal length lens. Don’t stray too far from your parade-watching location since it might not be there when you return. Remember the vertical perspective for shooting fireworks and tubas.
Enjoy the holiday.
