Canon puts fans in the picture at The Ryder Cup
Posted by
Canon Europe captures the action on and off the course with a crowd view photo initiative at this year’s Ryder Cup, at Gleneagles, Scotland from the 23rd-28th September.
Canon is bringing a first to the competition to enhance the spectators’ experience, taking deep zoom panorama shots of the first tee and surrounding fans with two Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR cameras1. The Canon panorama photographs are being captured throughout the week and will be available to view online at www.canon-europe.com/golf, The Ryder Cup Spectator App and shared via Canon’s social media channels. The photographs will be shot in high resolution gigapixel format, and fans will be able to zoom in to the crowd to find and tag themselves, so they can share the experience with their friends and family on social media.
The Canon Professional Services (CPS) team is on site at the 2014 Ryder Cup Media Centre to provide support for accredited photographers with advice, essential maintenance, equipment loans and help with minor repairs.
Canon are supplying 70 printers and multifunctional devices to The 2014 Ryder Cup organisers for all printing, copying and faxing needs. Canon print solutions will also be used to create commemorative photobooks for players and team captains at the end of the tournament.
More than 250,000 spectators are expected on site during the six day event, with a further global TV audience of 500 million people across 183 countries.
