George Taylor was an enthusiastic member of the Portrait Group joining in most of the sessions a the Chichester College hair dressers and Remembrance Day outings. He was also a regular at the Chichester Jazz Club evenings.
We will miss him and typical of the Portrait Group members avoided in being photographed under the intense flash lights used on the young ladies and men’s haircuts.
Our thoughts go to Rosemary his wife and family.

There was a successful Portrait Group kick off meeting where an elusive Eliot was photographed by nearly all those present using the studio lights. Most of the challenges of interface camera and lights were resolved for the variety of cameras used. A pdi show of Goodwood and Goodwood type images were shown showing the huge diversity of views of the same subjects.
The events that provide opportunities to take people pictures are as follows. Anyone in the club can come and look out for each other as it is really an ad hoc photo excursion.
There is a meeting in the Portrait Group in the small Hall at Tangmere on 5th November where we will have our studio flash lights so all are welcome to bring cameras and take some portraits of each other.
Also we will show people pictures from Goodwood so bring memory sticks if you have any images to show.
At the meeting we will agree a date and location for a street photography outing and summarise the plans we have for portrait shoot opportunities this season.
The developers group meeting on the 17th December was dedicated to a demonstration and talk about Portrait photography by Simon Fuchter. Simon owned a portrait studio in South street and is the 3rd generation from a family of portrait photographers. He demonstrated the essentials of portrait photography with the importantance of lighting. He had brought along a selection of representative images of his own and his father and grandfather.
He gave us a summary of the essentials, covering Lighting, Pose and the most important, Expression.
The winner of the Self Portrait competition was Charlie Roe. The competition participants sent in an eclectic collection of images but the traditional portrait of Charlie is outstanding and had a true period feel that convinced the judges that this was the winner.
Well done Charlie. Thanks to all the participants.
Deadline for self portrait in Portrait Groups competition is Monday 10th

Obviously we need someone for this coming meeting on the 6th.
Now for the fun and games. On Dec 13th we have our Christmas special, Ho Ho Ho, which is a fun evening where we can enjoy ourselves by dressing in our favourite Christmas attire, enjoy some Christmas fare and drink while competing as teams in a Christmas quiz so I do hope as many of you as possible can attend. We need prizes donated for the raffle which can be brought to our next meeting on the 6th or on the night of the Christmas special on the 13th. For those who plan to attend could you also bring some finger food and drinks on the night for us all to enjoy.
