Okay, now it’s getting exciting. There’s just over a month to go until the shutters snap open on this year’s Photo 24 event in London, sponsored by Nikon and Nikon School, and if you’ve not yet reserved your place, then what are you waiting for? The free event kicks off at noon on Saturday 20 June and brings together hundreds of like-minded enthusiast and amateur photographers for a full 24 hours of shooting in one of the world’s greatest cities. We have literally only a few tickets left (due to cancellations) so if you want to join us please check for availability by emailing Rebecca Kalama on rebeccakalama@ bright-publishing.com. To whet the appetites of confirmed participants, and to convince anyone who’s still undecided, on this page you’ll find a few of the many brilliant images shot by readers on last year’s Photo 24. It is also worth saying that everyone is welcome to enjoy Photo 24, regardless of experience level and which camera brand you own. And to make it even more exciting, Nikon is giving away some amazing prizes to reward great shots taken on the day. For the best image taken at each of the itinerary’s meet-up locations, there’s a Nikon 1 J5 and 10-30mm lens on offer, and for the best overall image taken on the day, a Nikon D750 plus 24-85mm lens awaits. So, if you fancy indulging your passion for photography in one of the world’s leading and most photogenic cities with a whole bunch of like-minded folk, please email Rebecca now. Remember, the event is free although there is the option of paid-for events, such a sunset shoot from the London Eye.

This year’s Photo 24 sponsors are Nikon and Nikon School, and that means there’s not only a host of great prizes (see panel above), you’ll also have the opportunity for some expert advice and tuition throughout the day. There will also be Nikon Taster Sessions, which are special paid-for events (Photo 24 itself is free), taking in specialist subjects including urban portraiture, film noir and macro photography for a small fee. Each will be led by one of the expert tutors at the Nikon School at 63-64 Margaret Street, London W1W 8SW, and that’s where the sessions will start. Sessions can be booked when applying for Photo 24 tickets. All people booking on a Nikon Taster Session will be eligible for a £25 discount when booking on a full training course at the Nikon School.
