This evening Sophie and I went to South Shields to attend the Camel parade, a christmassy thing with stilt people, drummers, fireworks and stuff. Now before anyone gets excited about camels, when the parade came down they were travelling so fast I hit the wrong button on my camera and didn’t get a decent shot of one. There was a herd of people following behind and we got swamped into it and couldn’t run to get in front of them and try again. So no camels in this post 😦 But I did get a few shots of stilt walkers
and some of the drummers, they were amazing!
and learned that I have no idea how to shoot fireworks, I can see a youtube tutorial coming up!
of course, all these belong to my ‘light’ theme this month, so am going to choose the top one as my fave for the day. When I go through the rest of the photo’s if there are anymore decent ones, there’ll be a fraggle report for next year.

But I wanted camels!
Only joking, the stilt walkers were spot on, sharp as a tack. I have never shot fireworks. I think it’s all about tripods, and bulb settings.
Best wishes, Pete.
