A major reason for going to Philly for New Years Eve was to avoid the hassle of driving up and back on the same day to attend the Mummers Day Parade on New Years Day. I decided to try and shoot some of the parade with the Rollei. While not as many images were 100% successful as I would have liked, I’ll put some of that down to needing more experience zone focusing, and some of it down to needing a fill-flash which I didn’t have. But I’m not complaining – I did get some good images, and here is a selection. I’ll follow up with more tomorrow when I’m done scanning everything.
My husband grew up watching the Mummers Parade. He has some great stories. Thanks for bringing the visuals! Your photos are wonderful!
Really enjoyed the colours and costumes.
Wonderful, positive report. Even the cop looks relaxed…
