Fall is in the air, and it’s a great time to photograph these fall festivals. Be sure that you have a 70 – 200 or 70- 300 lens. This will you to get close from a distance. Also, if you have a wide angle 24-55 or so, bring those and get close to your subject for a different perspective. Bring along a flash if you have one to help with the lighting if needed. If it’s gray/cloudy then there won’t be any harsh shadows. However, if it is sunny, you might need the flash to fill in some of the shadow areas to balance out the light.

I typically like to shoot action and sports photography, however this gives me the opportunity to improve my skills in photographing people. There are a variety of people and it is challenging, and fun at the same time.

Get out and photograph what these festivals. People watching is fun, and you never know what you might capture. Time has a way of getting away from us all. Capture these moments in time, and share them with family, and friends.
