-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
WHAT DO MOUNTAIN LIONS, BUFFALOES, AND AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS HAVE IN
COMMON? EACH CAN BE FOUND ROAMING THE NEAREST STATE OR NATIONAL
PARK, NATIONWIDE, THIS SUMMER. PHOTOGRAPHERS WILL BE HEADING OUT
TO THE PARKS, TO TEST THEIR SKILLS IN SEARCH OF THAT PERFECT SHOT.
IN AN EFFORT TO HELP FIND THE RIGHT WAY TO CAPTURE THEIR MOMENTS,
CANON IS ONCE AGAIN SPONSORING A "PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE PARKS"
CONTEST--AND A NUMBER OF PHOTO WORKSHOPS--AS PART OF CANON'S PARKS
PROGRAM. AS PART OF THIS CONTEST, AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS CAN SEND
IN THEIR BEST PICTURE, FROM ANY AMERICAN PARK OR NATIONAL MONUMENT--AND
HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN A DREAM PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGE. PROFESSIONAL
PHOTOGRAPHER AND MEMBER OF CANON'S ELITE "EXPLORERS OF LIGHT"
GROUP, LEWIS KEMPER, EXPLAINS...
(KEMPER):
"THE CANON 'PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE PARKS' PROGRAM IS AN IDEAL WAY FOR
MILLIONS OF PHOTOGRAPHERS TO EXPERIENCE NATURE--AND WHAT EACH
PARK HAS TO OFFER--FIRST-HAND. THIS ALSO GIVES CANON THE CHANCE TO
PROVIDE THESE PHOTOGRAPHERS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN
THE FIELD--AND EXPERIENCE HOW MUCH FUN IT CAN BE TO CAPTURE THAT
ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME SHOT. DURING CANON'S WORKSHOPS IN YOSEMITE,
YELLOWSTONE, AND GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARKS, AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS WILL
BE TREATED TO SPECIAL LECTURES BY CANON-SELECTED, SEASONED
PHOTOGRAPHERS--AND CAN TEST A WIDE VARIETY OF PROFESSIONAL PHOTO
EQUIPMENT--TO HELP ENSURE A STELLAR IMAGE, EVERY TIME."
