<h2>Canon U.S.A. Encourages National Parks Visitors To Unleash Their Creativity This Summer With Free Photography Workshops</h2>

<p><em>Canon's Photography in the Parks Program Equips Visitors with Free Camera and Camcorder Loans, Professional Photography Lessons and a Unique, Hands-On Experience to Create Lasting Memories</em><br>

<strong>LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., June 4, 2012</strong> – Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is once again joining forces with several of the country's acclaimed national parks to offer free photography workshops to visitors this summer. The Canon Photography in the Parks Program provides participants with free equipment loans and professional photography instruction as they take part in a guided walking photo tour. Following the tour, participants have the opportunity to print one of their photos for free on site, and to download their image collection later from a secure server. Visitors of all ages and experience levels are welcome to participate.<br>

New to this year's program are Canon video workshop sessions. Visitors can experience and learn about shooting video by using a Canon VIXIA camcorder or EOS digital SLR camera and participating in a hands-on videography demonstration with experts.<br>

"Canon is incredibly excited to help people improve their photography skills and capture the beauty of our national parks through our Photography in the Parks Program," said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies & Communications Group, Canon U.S.A. "Our nation's magnificent and pristine national parks offer the quintessential location to help people improve their photography skills and inspire creativity. In doing so, Canon hopes to also help those who visit parks this summer create and preserve lasting memories and leverage their newfound skills throughout their lives, for all of their important moments."<br>

In addition, Canon is sponsoring the new National Geographic iPhone application, <a href="http://press.nationalgeographic.com/pressroom/index.jsp?cid=1334846269730&pageID=pressReleases_detail&siteID=1" target="_blank">National Parks by National Geographic</a>.

The individual park apps provide users with park information and photo galleries, travel tips from National Geographic editors, and information about park events - including the Canon Photography in the Parks Program.

<p>Apparently you can only get the information about this if you have a Facebook account.<br>

It took me ages and hard work to get OFF Facebook, and nothing is going to lure me back. I'd like to know more about the programs though... :(</p>

<p>Interesting, I'll be at Zion during that time. May have to look it up, though I'll be shooting Pentax and a Yashica D lol</p>

<p>I am going to spend a week camping near Yosemite starting on the 19th but I have other things I want to do. Not sure I am even going to stop into the park on this trip. I do not have a facebook account anyway so whatever is in there is not applicable to me. </p>

<p>Sure wish I'd come across this sooner!</p>
