Ian & Ben led the Brighton event on 18th July 2009 for the Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk event. Park Cameras have agreed to give each participant a complimentary £10 gift voucher.  There will be a Chimping Competition at the close of the day with a prize for what the walk leaders judge to be the best image.

This is a great opportunity to get some special shots of London landmarks.  You will need to take a tripod for the best low-light and night shots.

Chimping Competition:
If walk participants wish to participate, all they need to do is select what they consider to be their best shot of the day and display it on the screen of their digital camera. The walk leaders will then judge what they collectively consider to be the best shot and the winner will receive a Think Tank Photo Pixel Pocket Rocket media card storage wallet.

To Take Part:
Please contact Ian Pack by email if you intend participating, no later than 4 December 2009 as we will need to contact the authorities for clearance; we will be imaging in a secure area of London.

    Hi,
    This sounds awesome! Do I have to have a digital camera to take part? Or can I use my film cam?
