After using the Canon R8 for two months, here’s my honest and detailed review. I made the upgrade from the Canon M50 Mark II primarily to achieve better low-light performance, benefit from faster and more reliable autofocus, and enjoy the advantages of a full-frame sensor.

12 Months of Great Falls!
Earlier this year, I visited Great Falls after our first snowstorm and captured a serene winter landscape. The scene ignited my imagination and led me to ponder how much this beautiful park transforms throughout the year.
Inspired by this thought, I made a resolution: I am determined to visit Great Falls every month, capturing a photograph that showcases the seasonal changes. From the vibrant colors of spring blooms to the lush greens of summer, the rich autumn hues, and the quiet stillness of winter, each month will tell a unique story of nature's evolution.
This project will not only allow me to document the beauty of Great Falls in different seasons but also deepen my appreciation for the subtleties of nature. I look forward to sharing this journey through my lens, reflecting on the fleeting moments that make each visit special.

Each photo taken this year is a testament to the moments and stories that define our everyday lives, reinforcing my passion for photography and the art of observation.
