Re: Go-to lenses for event photography

Hi, Daniel-- I have a somewhat different suggestion for you. I recently photographed the memorial for a family member, held in a small restaurant in New York. When I arrived I noticed another person photographing with a FF camera and flash, and every time he raised it toward a person or group, their reaction was to stop and pose. So, in order to get photos without interrupting the flow of important conversations, I just used my 1Phone 12 Pro. No one paid any attention to the phone, so the photos feel like more genuine records of emotionally intense moments. I made some of the photos into a Blurb 8x10" book and everyone has praised and appreciated it. The phone photo quality is fine for such a book. Best wishes, Mike O'Brien
