A Photographer's Dream. A Very Special Event.

What luck!  This year, I get to celebrate Halloween-- twice.
Tonight was great fun, of course, but last Sunday, I took part in a celebration on a grand scale as a hired  photographer,  covering the Toronto West Halloween Fest, in support of St Joseph's Health Centre.
The street festival included free costume parade and live entertainment. A live performance by Canada's Queen of R & B Jully Black, capped off the celebrations.
The day-long event, was a photographer's dream. Take a look and you'll see why;




















Tip;  When covering events such as this, take along lenses of different focal lengths. e.g. a 28mm-80mm lens  and a telephoto lens such as 80-200 or better still , 80-300mm so you can zoom in for those close ups. Just keep in mind that the shutter speed you use should match the focal length of the lens. e.g. if you are shooting at the 300 mm focal length, the shutter speed should be at 1/300th of a sec. at least, for the pictures to be sharp. This, assuming you are shooting hand-held.
