Latest photography news
The longest day of the year seems a great time to spend 24 hours out shooting and that’s what Photo 24, in association with Nikon and Nikon School, is all about. This is the third year of Photo 24, organised by our sister magazine Advanced Photographer , and it has grown each year. This year’s free event was fully subscribed hours after registration opened, such is its popularity. Although there are competitions and organised meet-ups, the participants can shoot what they like, take as long as they want and share their experiences with like- minded people. A full report of Photo 24 and the competition winners will be published in Photography News in due course. If you missed out this year, keep your eye open for news of next year’s event; we’ll be publicising it early in 2016. Photo 24 Advanced Photographer and PhotographyNews’s Photo 24 in London, 20-21 June, is going to be bigger and better than ever before

Premium compacts continue to sell well and Leica’s new line of classy compacts is set to join the fun. First in the range is the Leica Q, a full- frame, 24-megapixel camera using a CMOS sensor. Its built-in lens is a Leica Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH. ISO range is 100-50,000. With its fast aperture lens and high ISO, the Q is ideal for general photography in all sorts of lighting conditions. It’s aided by a class-leading AF system, which claims to give precision ‘almost real-time focusing’, while the Leica Maestro processor is fast enough to allow 10fps shooting at full resolution.
The integral EVF has a 3.68-megapixel resolution, giving an image with no perceptible image lag. Available now from authorised Leica dealers the Q is yours for £2900.
