May 11, 2005: Tamron will celebrate the launch of its new Australian website with a great new photographic competition, which offers as a first prize a holiday in the Northern Territory to the value of $4000.
The competition coincides with the local release of the Tamron AF 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 XR Di-II Aspherical Macro lens, which was recently named Consumer Lens of the Year by TIPA. The TamronTerritory photo competition is open to all and its theme focuses on outdoor photography. The shot should be the consummate “travel photograph” – something that demonstrates an engagement with the world the photographer observes on their travels. It could be a stunning landscape, a study of flora, fauna, or a picture of fellow travellers doing something crazy or interesting on their holidays. The shot could be taken anywhere in Australia or the world.
The winning shot will be technically acceptable in terms of sharpness, colour, contrast and composition. The subject and purpose of the picture should be immediately apparent with little or no captioning necessary. The winner can take a holiday in virtually any part of the Territory, selecting from the huge range of tours and safaris on offer from Adventure Tours (www.adverturetours.com.au).
Second prize is the soon-to-be-released Tamron SP AF 11-18mm f4.5-5.6 Di-II LD Asperical (IF) lens, available in Nikon, Minolta or Canon digital SLR mounts and with a retail value of $1199.00. Third prize is the just-released Tamron AF 18-200 f3.5-6.3 XR Di-II Aspherical Macro lens, available in Nikon, Minolta, Canon or Pentax mounts, and with a retail value of $899.00.
Entry is free and via image and detail upload from the www.tamronterritory.com.au website. Up to five images can be submitted per entrant.
