Today was Monson, Massachusetts’, annual Summerfest, which includes a classic parade on the town’s Main Street.
I was on hand with my FujiFilm XT1 and 18-135mm lens to capture the spirit of the event.
I’ve been photographing Monson’s Summerfest since the late 1970s.

Here’s a few views of the annual Mummers Parade held on Philadelphia’s Broad Street.
My brother has attended the parade for 21 years. This was my third or forth Mummers.
I made these photos with my new Lumix LX7.

On January 1, 2017, I exposed these photos along Philadelphia’s Broad Street of the annual Mummers parade.
Using my LX7, I set the camera in ‘A’-mode (aperture priority), which allows me to set the aperture while the camera adjusts the shutter speed.
I’ve found that to capture the spirit of a parade, using a slow shutter speed and panning puts the players in motion.
Panning also sets off the parade participants from the urban background and helps reduce the visual complexity of the environment to make for more dramatic images.
Below are a selection taken from some 500 digital images exposed on New Years Day.
It’s been a wild and colourful (mostly green) St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin! Here’s just a few of the many photos I made with my Fuji X-T1.
Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade attracted some half million people. The other million were queuing to cross the Ha’Penny Bridge over the Liffey.
