Behind The Lens
Location
This is one of my favorites from the many pictures that I took during the 2017 Arm Force Day Parade. I was waiting in front of where used to be the Burnett Gallery (of Fine Arts, between 4th and 5th Street on the Pacific Avenue in downtown of Bremerton WA) .Time
It was late morning but not noon time yet.Lighting
The bright sun was positioned almost high noon and lite the streets strongly even in between tall buildings.Equipment
I just received the Nikon D600 and attached it with my favorite Sigma 300mm F4 telephoto. I also threaded a UV filter on my lens mainly for physical protection of the front optic.Inspiration
I wanted an interesting photo of the Burnett Gallery for keepsake because most businesses comes and goes in downtown Bremerton. And, I figure the Arm Force Parade would be the most opportunistic time to capture interesting occurrences.Editing
I strive for just enough (minimum) post-processing to correct my intentional under exposure done for the safeguard of details in those pesky highlights that always pops up where and when I least expected.In my camera bag
Did not bring a bag. And wished I did because the 300mm telephoto was sometimes too "long" for capturing a parade in the smaller streets (of Bremerton as compared to Seattle). If I had my bag I would had one of my many vintage 70-210mm telephotos ( Nikon E-series or Vivitar Series-1).Feedback
Bottom line is that photography ought be fun. And I did enjoyed the moments while I was taking the pictures, too. And I would had even more fun, if I had carried a zoom lens or at least another lens of smaller focal length.
