I was recently shooting a wedding in Mexico, and during the formal portraits of the bride and her bridesmaids my colleague launched his drone.

I can hear them but I cant see them!” she replied, I had to reassure her there was no wasps…but rather it was the buzzing of the drone that she mistook for wasps…
What’s your favourite piece of equipment? Why?
For travel, my canon 70-200 2.8 mkII is excellent for travel photography as it gives me the focal range I need for spontaneous moments without imposing on people, it is really sharp lens and gives a fantastic bokeh.
