Default Motown at the Detroit Thanksgiving Day Christmas Parade

I took a lot of shots of the parade but I think this is one of the best.

Great how you captured that! I imagine these parades are so difficult to get any decent shots at if you're not right at the front of the crowd, or at some other vantage point.

Great clear shot. With all those people I'm surprised you had room to raise your hand to take the shot.

Great shot from a very difficult vantage point.
Very well done.

Thank you all. I kind of hand free roam back and forth. I held the camera up above my head and fired it with a wired remote attached to my camera. We were also near the end of the parade, which helped.
