I am going to shoot an evening parade with Christmas trees and Santa and the like. Do you have any helpful tips?

I have a 50 1.2 and an 85 1.2 , 70-200mm 2.8 and a wide angle which I am going to bring. I have other lenses.

    Aside from the technical aspect, who is your client? Are you going to get paid?

    You should definitely tell them that you never done such an event and manage expectations up front. If you think you are able to meet their expectations or they are cool with you “trying”, go for it!

      A small local paper. I have volunteered for local events for free. They are going to pay a token amount ($50), but I would have done it for free.

      They don’t have any expectations other than the photos I have done before for events. I don’t think they have high expectations, though.

        Perfect, see if that is something for you and get experience. Good luck and have fun!
