With the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris just around the corner, this month we want to see your best sporting action shots taken with Canon EOS cameras. Whether you freeze the moment with a fast shutter speed, high ISO or even flash, or slow the shutter down to drag the frame for extra motion and energy we want to see your best sports pictures. Don't worry if you can't get to a place to photograph sports like horse racing, swimming or fencing, get creative with local events such junior teams having a kick about in the park, even darts and snooker can look dramatic with a creative composition. Our favourite sports shots will appear in PhotoPlus magazine, so if you have an image that is perfect for our brief, submit it for a chance to be featured in the magazine and the winner will take home a Lowepro Trekker Lite BP 250AW (Black) worth £165.95! We look forward to seeing your best shots!
The winner will receive a Lowepro Trekker Lite BP 250 AW professional camera backpack. The judge's favourite images will also feature in a future issue of PhotoPlus magazine!
