Gear Used for the Evening
For this event, I used the Canon EOS 5D Mark III paired with the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM and EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lenses. These lenses allowed me to capture a wide range of shots, from expansive venue views to intimate, up-close moments. The fast apertures and excellent low-light performance were essential in freezing the lively, fast-paced atmosphere of the event.
