Opportunities to enter printed images are few and far between just now, but the PAGB Masters of Print offers just that. This prestigious competition is open now and this is call to Club members to take part.
The competition is open to members of PAGB affiliated Clubs (such as Chichester Camera Club) and you can enter up to five images in any mix of the three categories, mono, colour and nature. Images can be printed at any size on A3 or 16 x 12 paper, with some restrictions on photographs that have been used in inter-club competitions in the past three years. You can find the full details and rules at http://www.thepagb.org.uk/competitions/pagb-masters-of-print/
Peter Rocchiccioli has kindly offered to co-ordinate entries – you’ll need to send your entries to Peter at Ludlow, Copse Lane, Hayling Island, Hants, PO11 0QA by 15th February and Peter will forward them to the PAGB. As the PAGB has postponed the deadline, prints now need to be with Peter by 22nd March.
Club members have had some good successes in recent years with Masters of Print, the featured successful image here is Jim Mundy’s Port in a Storm
The above is the invitation for Monday’s competition and we look forward to meeting members from Beckenham PS, Chichester CC, Molesey PC and Tandridge PS, together with our judge Ron Tear MPAGB ARPS PSA3 BPE4*, on screen.
Please remind your members that access will not be given to unidentifiable people (eg Mum’s ipad).
As we use breakout rooms during the break having your club initials in addition to your name would act as an ice-breaker, eg. Fred Smith MPC.
If you cannot add your club initials before joining please click on your image and use the change name option.
We have found using breakout rooms allows a small group to have a conversation which would otherwise be impossible, particularly with 5 clubs at the meeting.
The meeting will open at 7.30pm for an 8pm start and as we are anticipating a good attendance from all 5 clubs please assist our hosts and do not leave it to the last minute to join.
Best wishes
Rosemary

Yately CC have put together an interesting 3D virtual exhibition. Details are below:
Yateley Camera Club are delighted to announce the launch of our Virtual Exhibition on Tuesday 1 December. The show is set in a 3D museum space, allowing visitors to explore 300+ pictures, covering a huge range of styles and subjects at your own pace – or by taking the guided tour option; you may select ‘Enter Exhibition’ or ‘Virtual Tour’ when you arrive.
The format is very interesting.

The RPS Documentary Group South East Region was started off by Chichester Camera Club’s own Janey Devine a few years ago. While we are actively looking to attract members from the whole South East region, we also hope our programme will be of interest to Chichester members.
We are very pleased that Stewart Wall MA NCTJ PGCE ARPS has agreed to talk to us at our next meeting, 11am 22nd November 2020, which will be a Zoom meeting.
Stewart began his career in photography as a local press photographer in 1978.
In 2015 he undertook a BA (Hons) in photography, then a Masters in Visual Communication and is on the brink of beginning a doctorate. He also works with the RPS as a regional Organiser and with the Distinctions department.
Throughout his study he focused on ‘Hyper-Local Authentic Documentary’ Photography and during his talk will discuss one of his projects, entitled ‘The Stonemason’.
Colin Wood is the stonemason, and he has lived and worked in Caistor, Lincolnshire all his life. As did his father and his father before him. Caistor is where Stewart lives, and his studio is 50 yards from Colin’s workshop.
Stewart will also talk to us about developing panels of documentary work as historical evidence and discuss where this work fits into the RPS and elsewhere.

Arena Photographers was founded in 1986 by well-known photojournalist Joan Wakelin. Its aims are to promote the highest standards of photography, to encourage printmaking, and to share and discuss new work. Within its current membership of 20 photographers can be found a broad spectrum of photographic styles and interests. It is a commitment and passion towards personal projects that unites this group of prominent photographers from all over the south of England.
Exhibiting has always been at the forefront of the activities of the group and the work of nine of its members is on display in this exhibition. Previous exhibitions have been held at the South Bank, The Barbican, Menier’s Gallery, Whiteley’s Gallery, The National Museum of Photography in Bradford, and galleries in Battle, Bristol, Colchester, Guildford, Poole, Reading and Salisbury.
Several members have published best selling photographic books while others organise and lead workshops and lecture on the art of photography.
In addition, the group organises perhaps the finest weekend seminar of photography in the country. Photographer’s travel from far afield to attend this event, held in March each year in Bournemouth, and the list of visiting speakers reads like a Who’s Who of British photography.

Zoom has been a real boon these past months keeping us in touch with each other and providing camera club activities. It’s not the same though as meeting up and we’re all missing getting together at our home at Tangmere Village Centre. The hall is missing us too, so I recently sent out this note via the Tangmere News, the village newsletter.
Chichester Camera Club has its home at Tangmere Village Centre but has been unable to meet since March due to Covid 19, with Club activities transferred to Zoom. Club stalwart and Tangmere resident, Lorna Brown, has documented Tangmere in lockdown, including this lovely photo of Gloria who has been organising food deliveries in the village over the past months. The Camera Club hopes to resume meeting at the hall in the new year, in the meantime you can see more about the club at https://chichestercameraclub.org.uk/
