Club Rainbow Singapore is a charity committed to providing help to children who are suffering from a range of chronic and life-threatening illnesses.

Life-sized zombie and plant mascots handed out tacos from the truck, which was parked at three locations from 5 – 8 September to the delight of both fans and on-looking visitors.

The three locations were Mapletree Business City, Cineleisure Orchard and Sentosa Beach Station.

Workshops and the two seminars at the 2-day (24-25 August) event at the refurbished Suntec City Convention Centre were sold out, as participation in this year’s event was almost twice that of the inaugural I AM NIKON DAY event last year.

Participants as well as visitors passing by had fun at the Nikon Day Photo Wall, taking photo souvenirs or visiting various Nikon camera display booths showcasing the latest Nikon COOLPIX cameras and Nikon 1 series.

In line with Nikon’s slogan of “At the Heart of the Image”, the aim of the 2-day event was to enrich the public with greater photography knowledge and tips, for both beginner photographers as well as seasoned amateurs.

Shutterbugs also tried their hand at capturing shots of models in the DSLR display area which featured a central boxing ring with models posing through the day.
