San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade 2013 (Part 3)

Every year for Chinese New Year, there is a parade in San Francisco to celebrate it. A lot to see. The parade for 2013 was on 2/23/2013. I attended the parade along with a few other Google+ photographers (we planned it out via a Google+ event). Here, on my blog, I will show you the photos I took of the parade. All of these photos were shot with my new Canon EOS 5D Mark III. Since a lot of people is going to want to see the photos of the parade, I will be posting more photos per part for this chain of blog posts (might take longer to load). This also means I will be taking a short break from my Death Valley National Park posts. I hope you enjoy viewing this chain of posts.

I do have a GPS route file that I can give you if you want it. If you want a copy, just email me via the email I have on my About the Photographer page. I recorded the route using a Canon GE-E2 GPS. I have the route in Canon NMEA, Google Earth KMZ, and GPX formats. There is just a note about the route. It was fairly accurate and all from my trip to the BART station and all the way on BART (for the parts of the trip above ground), but once I got into San Francisco, it started to get inaccurate. In San Francisco, most of the location was with in 300 feet of the actual location but I had 2 photos that were a bit less than 1600 feet off. It did not work so well in a big city, but last time in Shadow Cliff Regional Park in Pleasanton, CA, it was very accurate (with in 5-10 feet).

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: If you want to see full resolution photos or buy prints of any of the photos you see, they are up on my portfolio for viewing. To view my best Chinese New Year parade photos, use this link. To view all of my Chinese New Year parade photos for 2013, use this link.

Today I continue with photos of the parade. Some shot when there was light out, some shot later on after sunset. I later set up my Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT to add some light into the photos.
