BAR HARBOR — Canon U.S.A. Inc. and American Park Network are pleased to announce the sixth annual Canon Photography in the Parks program where national park visitors can take unique, hands-on photo and video workshops and create lasting memories.
All workshops are free and open to the public. Canon EOS and PowerShot cameras, EF lenses, VIXIA camcorders and memory cards will be available for use at no additional charge.
The Canon Photography in the Parks Program offers participants the opportunity to learn about photography or hone their skills through free professional instruction as they take part in a guided walking photo tour of some of the most scenic national park areas. Participants can bring their own equipment or borrow, at no charge, Canon equipment from a selection of EOS DSLR cameras and EF lenses, PowerShot point-andshoot cameras, or VIXIA camcorders. Equipment is available for photographers at every skill level. Following the tour, participants have the opportunity to print their work on site, and to download their image collection later from the program website.
Visitors of all ages and experience levels are welcome to participate.
New to this year’s program are Canon video workshop sessions. Visitors can experience and learn about shooting video using VIXIA camcorders or EOS digital SLR cameras and participate in a hands-on videography demonstration with experts.
Those interested in the workshops should show up 15 to 30 minutes ahead of the scheduled start time. Instructors are experts at putting artistic and technical concepts into language that participants of all ages will understand and help unleash their creativity.
After wrapping up workshops at the Grand Canyon, Zion, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Rocky Mountain national parks, Photography in the Parks will be coming to Acadia National Park from Aug. 18 to 29. Instructors will lead photo and video workshops three times daily at 9 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., unless indicated to the contrary.

— Schoodic Education and Research Center Institute (SERC Institute), Aug. 18, at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
— Jordan Pond House, Aug. 19, 20, 22, 24, 25, 27 and 28
