…the Parade had just started and my camera batteries died. So I am at home looking for batteries. I will try to get back up there and take more pictures. Also one of the motorcycle policemen bumped another motorcycle policeman at the very beginning when they were doing their little circles. No biggie..the show goes on.
Merry Christmas!
So I have been there and back again, and as promised I took more pictures. One lady was nice enough to let me stand on the tailgate of her truck to take some photos – that is when I caught that ball you see pictured.
I don’t have the best camera in the world. Also, I wasn’t able to find any fresh batteries so I just had to keep turning it back on when it died – there was no point in trying to adjust the shutter speed, or anything like that because it would lose all that information every time it died – including the date/time and whut knot. So I just did the best I could with what I had. I took some photos with flash, some without – using the flash of course killed the camera much quicker – as well as trying to adjust anything in the menu using the screen, or trying to use the screen to aim.
I uploaded everything raw so many may not be all that great. I will go through them later and tweak some of the better photos and post them in a future post. I can see many will need the brightness/contrast tinkered with so that you can actually see something. 🙂

Better luck next year!

These folks were making the block as I left from my abode when I was trying to find batteries. They started to yell “Merry Christmas!” at me and started singing Christmas carols. One of them winged some bubble gum at me and it hit my camera! Let me tell you that bubble gum is hard! I’m glad it hit the camera and not my face 🙂
