The internet and photography circles are abuzz with anticipation for Canon's big announcement today. See you there at 08:00 ET.
Canon is branding this as a reimagining of photography. Although confirmed information is sparse, if you follow Canon, you'd be hard pressed not to assume that we're going to get a first look at the EOS R5 and R6, as well as a handful of new RF lenses.
Canon is pulling out all of the stops and is hosting three simultaneous presentations in different markets. One for Canon Europe, one for Canon Asia, and one for Canon U.S.A. Each of these product introductions is also going to be followed up by Q&A sessions with a variety of ambassadors that are region specific.
The US presentation will be hosted by Canon Ambassador Peter McKinnon and Explorers of Light Lindsay Adler, Sal Cincotta, Tyler Stableford, Vanessa Joy, Roberto Valenzuela, Joel Grimes, and Rick Sammon.
The EU presentation will included Ilvy Njiokiktjien, Ivan D’Antonio, Javier Cortes, Martin Bissig, Richard Walch, Robert Marc Lehmann, Samo Vidic, Sanjay Jogia, Ulla Lohmann, and Wanda Martin.
Canon Canada will also be hosting a Q&A later in the evening with Canon Ambassador's Atiba Jefferson, Irene Rudnyk, Scott Bakken, and Jonathan Zoeteman.
Will you be watching?
And here we go.
How does one become an "Explorer of Light"?
It's akin to being a product ambassador. "Started in 1995, The Explorers of Light program was created to celebrate and highlight the work of outstanding professional photographers. These professionals have made a profound impact within the photography industry and are leaders within their respective genres of photography."
Thanks! That's definitely not me!
I'd love to hear about your Gros Morne trip. Had big plans for this year, but, well, 2020 and all that.
Ohhhhhh, my dude! I suppose I'm biased, being from Labrador, but it's quite the spot. Definitely recommend a well planned week to cover the day hikes - the best being Gros Morne Mountain. Back country hiking/camping I haven't tried, but I hear it's fantastic as well and have seem some epic photos overlooking Western Brook Pond (the "inland fjords").
