This is the third part of my photos from the Suwon Festival. We moved on to the parade and set up near an alley. There were a ton of colorful characters in the parade. This was actually my first parade to attend in Korea, besides the cultural part of the parade it was not too different from a parade back home.
I really missed a lot of shots because of a slow shutter speed. I really need to get out of AV mode. I think that I also bumped my focusing distance on the 70-200 and got a few too many out of focus shots. Here are few of the better ones.

These girls were fairly popular with the crowd. haha Reminded me of when a cheerleader at the high school ,where I taught a few years ago, would play in the band at halftime.

I really don’t know if these guys were students studying in Korea or not. I joked that they could have been enticed to come to a parade and were tricked into being part of the show.

I gotta learn to vary my aperture, so that I can get a different depth of field. I have the same shot on all 3 of these guys.
