Atlanta, GA | September 1, 2018<\/p>\n

Another fun time at one of Atlanta’s best traditions–the Annual Dragon Con Parade! Where you can celebrate all sorts of fandom!\u00a0 Doesn’t matter if you love superheroes, fantasy, books, or even science, everyone is welcome!\u00a0 Thanks to all the cosplayers and volunteers in the parade that brave the heat to put smiles on all the faces of the little ones (that think it’s real!).\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Missed the actual Con this time due to work, but I’m glad I got a chance to stop by before a busy weekend.\u00a0 ‘Til next year!<\/p>\n

Tech Notes: If anyone’s wondering I shot 3 cameras in covering the parade from our sidewalk post.\u00a0 All Nikons (no Canon this time), 35mm, 70-200mm 2.8, and 105mm 1.4 (which is still the most amazing portrait lens Nikon has in the lineup).\u00a0 Again though, all those cameras and lenses do nothing to stop people from standing right in my shots. :\/<\/p>\n
