Challenge.
I can't tell you how many times I covered the National Western Stock Show Parade, when I worked for the old Rocky Mountain News (went out of business 5 years ago), but I felt like checking it out again. The main route was going down 17th St., which was lined with tall buildings and a large crowd.
Solution.
Most of the parade route was in deep shadows, from the structures. The first thing I did was find a sunlight area, it was about a block long. This would be the area I would work. By moving around, I was able to stop in front of people for a moment and then move. This way nobody got upset with me for getting in front of them. Anytime I'm at a event like this, I always look at the crowd for feature shots. It was fun!
