When your camera is as compact as a point-and-shot but as high-quality as a DSLR, it鈥檚 the perfect excuse to play local tourist for a day. Armed with a , three leading creators gave us the grand tour of their cities.
Not your average adventurist- Megan McLellan aka - acted as the head tour guide/ croissant connoisseur in . Naturally, as one half of the travel and lifestyle blog , she has the whole day trip routine down to a science. Nature views + afternoon tea +the ultimate-all-in-one camera = 100.

Though she spends her days chasing the most beautiful scenes, for this travel photog nothing quite measures up to the comforts of home. Thus Megan at the 鈥渇ox den鈥�. *Bonus points for the natural light* Paired with the G1-X Mark II f/2.0 portrait lens, it鈥檚 a winning equation.
Next she ventures waayyyy up- 450 feet to be exact. For treelined vanishing points, the Capilano Suspension Bridge is the ticket.

Lucky for Megan with her G1-X Mark II in hand, she can capture macro details or far out scenes, there鈥檚 no need for extra lenses.
After that Megan throws it back to 15th century China. The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is all good vibes and enchanting visuals. Designed around the harmony of four elements: rock, water, plants, and architecture; every lighting change unveils a new colour and texture to explore. Jade green water brings the yin; sun warmed limestone brings the yang.
