      Golly, that’s impossible to answer! I take hundreds, no thousands, of photos every year and I’ve been doing this for many (20+) years now. But one of the most exciting things I have taken photos of are a school event where we recreated a day at the beach in the school grounds, with sand, water, games, punch and judy, fish and chips and ice creams. I was taking photos solidly for about 6 hours and it was exhausting, but SO much fun. Similarly I got a real buzz from the first wedding I did. And the sense of achievement I got from getting a shot of a drip of water splashing up from the surface as it fell, freezing it in a perfact “crown” shape was amazing!
