Canon in the Parks - Free Rentals in National Parks

I was at Yosemite on Saturday and have to share this:

Canon is offering a program called Canon in the Parks. They will let you rent a Canon DSLR (such as t2i, 5D mk ii, etc) and various lenses for free and participate in an approximately 2 hour workshop to learn photo tips from a professional instructor.

They will be at Yosemite through June 26, also at Grand Canyon, Jackson Hole, Yellowstone, and Acadia at other dates.

Here’s a picture of the equipment you have available to use:

What? That is awesome!

I live in a State with more national parks than any other and yet they aren't coming here? Hello Canon, ever hear of Zion, Arches, etc?

I was planning on going to Grand Canyon for vacation, I hope i could do this!

wow - that is sooo cool. Wish I was near one of those places! What a great opportunity for people getting into this.

I wish they would do something like that it in the UK - aklthough after having 2 hours with a 5dmkii could I ever go back to my 500d? Would be great to do some of the workshops as well.

That would be so darn cool. Hope they come to Michigan soon.

That's a great idea!

O M G! I might just have to look into doing this. Mmmm, I wonder if I can get my hands on a 5D2 + 17/24 TS-E

They did have the 24...

Are these seminars first-come-first-serve? Or is there a way to make reservations?

That's pretty awesome. If they came to the Great Smokey Mountains, I would be there in a heartbeat.
