June 14th, 2019GengHui0 Comments

The Canon EOS R was announced in September 2018, their first full-frame mirrorless camera. This camera got the photography community talking about it, a hot topic because they were the new kid on the block (in the full-frame mirrorless camera segment) joining Sony and Nikon in this particular full-frame mirrorless camera segment. When the Canon EOS R was launched, I got the opportunity to have a feel and short hands on experience during an event.

Trekking up the small road uphill, we saw a dirt track to the left of the small road. I said to Isaac, “That’s the entry point, we need to turn in and continue trekking, this would soon lead us to Keppel Hill Reservoir”. As we continued trekking, there was a cross road inside the forested area, turn right or go straight? Using my scouting instincts, I decided that we go straight. Just a bit more, we were going to reach our destination that we wanted to explore. I saw a foot path opened up by human beings, my explorer and …
