Canon Goes Green, Padang Kota Damansara
Yep, I went to their tree planting event the other day, 19th October. There were a lot of people, I have to say. Everyone was in green, almost a requirement for the event. There were food, beverages, some stuff for kids, information on trees and Malaysian rainforests. No, there wasn’t anything on Canon cameras on display. This is much of an outdoor event, but I couldn’t go for their tree planting part. I’ll let the photos do the talking.
Get a goodie bag at the counter before you join anything there. In it, you’ll find a t-shirt, a pen, stickers and an event info card in it.
Really, they were all in green. Canon even had stalls for you to trade your top for those provided.
Kids were given Wall-E colouring books. Some got their faces painted.
Main tent. VIPs made their speeches there. Press machine-guns away.
The professional’s definitive camera – an EOS-1D/Ds of some sort. This is an EOS-1D Mark II coupled with an EF 28-70mm f/2.8L USM and Speedlite 580EX with a Stofen Omni-Bounce EY. Notice the Gaffer Tape on the lens hood. I need some of that stuff, but I don’t know where to find them 
The VIPs posed for the press with the environMENTALS, BotaniGirl, Green Grin (who left a comment here on my blog on this post) and General Green. Press machine-guns on as usual.
That’s it from me. Looking forward to the next event from Canon I’m attending, the Photomarathon, which is this coming Saturday, 1st November, at 7am and lasting 13 hours non-stop from there at Boulevard, Berjaya Times Square.
Lowepro Stealth Reporter D200AW review is up, but before that, a little one on Terragen. Then, a review on the Kata 3N1-30 backpack. This thing morphs into a backpack from a sling bag like the Lowepro Slingshot and into one with an X harness. Cool, but not as comfortable as my R-101 GDC as well as not as rugged as in the material. So, stay tuned!
