Yorktown Heights Holiday Parade 12/1/2012

Photos of some of the apparatus that were in the parade. Fire Departments in the parade were Yorktown Heights, Millwood, Mohegan Lake, Leonia. Yorktown DPW and a few other organizations (including the Lakeland High School State Championship Field Hockey team) also participated. I believe there were a total of 22 participants. There was some pretty dense fog patches at times which caused all the flashing lights to be super saturated.

I got there a little late and didn't have much time to setup my tripod and get the composition I wanted so I'm not all that satisfied with the photos. The combination of fog and shooting with a big flash played a factor too. My flash has a pretty quick recycle time but the pace of the parade was pretty quick and some photos came out too dark/noisy as a result. It would be cool to see them expand this and make it a longer parade, get some more fd's and local organizations in the community involved. I also missed some things when I was changing lenses. Some were shot on my big lens I use for low light situations but for the most part they were shot on my fixed lens.
