I've been kicking around here for a couple of days now, so I figure it's time to share some images. This is my first post with images, so hopefully I'm formatting it properly.
One of the driving factors in my upgrade to my EOS R8 from my old camera was an opportunity to travel to Whistler, BC, this summer for a few days. I've never been a huge landscape shooter, but I knew that there'd be scenes there that I'd really want to capture, and I had been starting to think of upgrading my camera. I was invited for the trip, and then just a few days later, Canon announced the R8, so I preordered one. It's a really lovely travel camera, given that it's so small and light. All of these were done with either the 24-105mm STM or the 100-400mm, which was the real hero of the trip. I've always been under the impression that wide-angle lenses are the choice for landscapes, but I couldn't get enough of zooming in on distant mountains or other landscape elements. I was fortunate to have lovely weather while there, and so it was a pleasure to get out and explore early in the morning or in the evening at sunset.
For processing, I shot in RAW, and then processed in Lightroom Classic with a bit of Photoshop as well.
Thanks for having a look! Feel free to let me know what you think.

I said holy #rap when we could see it from the gondola going up the mountain. That panicked her a bit. I'm dumb and have no fear. I did all the rides at the top of the Strat ( formally Stratosphere) in Vegas.
