NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade '08

[shomat]

I had the day off today, so I loaded up some Wolfe Tones on the iPod and hit the parade.

Protesters on the sidelines:

Fumbled with my settings, wishing this had come out sharper:

Another protester (I think), cracking jokes about Elliot Spitzer and high-priced leprechauns.

That would be the EF 100mm f/2 USM.

Cool captures, Tom! I would have liked to go but I was busy with something...

I wondered if anyone was going to post pics. Thanks. I lived in NYC most of my growing up, but was never allowed to go to parades there in Manhattan. The weather was probably perfect this time. Nice clear shots! Thanks.

What great shots. I wanted to go over, but I didn't feel like dealing with the crowds.

Yup. It's one of my favorites. Nice and fast, very sharp.
