http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller ... 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!)
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?
