Hi Steve, nice to meet you too, and I think this is a great forum. Thank you very much indeed for the compliment regarding my work.
Body-wise I'm not fussy and I'll use whatever I have to hand. Yesterday's shots were taken with a Canon 5D and 24-105L lens. If I know I'll have people shots to do I'll throw the 70-200 f2.8L in the bag (or an 85 f1.8), but mostly I'll always try to travel light if I can.
I'll walk away from a lot of shots if I can't get the light I want, always a challenge at a static event. My motto is that I try to keep things simple, and I never take a shot unless it's going to count, probably because I used to shoot film.
