Topic: Canon's Photography in the Parks contest

[Roger]

http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=847&fromTips=1

Canon is having a contest for two categories:

Landscape
Wildlife

Rules:  Must be taken inside a US park or National Monument.

Entry deadline: 9/29


I know someone who likes to take some pics of birds inside a sanctuary that should be submitted.

Only other rule is you can't be a professional, which means that in the last three years, 51% or more of your own income can't be from your own photography business either as the owner/freelance or as an employee (I guess that means the Portrait Mill employees are out!)

thanks for the heads up on this Roger. I have a few shooting buds that I can pass this on to

Hmm.. interestingly vague description of the subject matter.  "any park in the United States".  I find myself wondering if zoos could be shoehorned into that description, I mean my local one is owned by the local forest preserve district.

Very cool.  It'll give me an excuse to check out some local parks and preserves and such I haven't been to.  I'm not well equipped for either wildlife or landscape photography, but what the heck..  they don't want much resolution, so I might be able to get away with some heavy cropping or crude panorama stitching.

Interesting, I might have to go to my local parks and try to take some nice pictures.  Practice makes perfect, right?
