RPS Group - Cancelled
2022-02-15 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
The RPS Group this month is double hit – not enough work this month to share between the group and I’ve brought back a reminder of my Scottish trip in the form of a wretched cold! Nothing worse than a cold I’m pleased to say (thank you negative flow test) but I wouldn’t want to be sharing even this virus.
I’m pleased to say that I’ve promises of work to show next month (Tuesday 15th March) and so I look forward to seeing everyone then.

===== Bring along a dozen of your own recent images. Of any size, of any quality, on any paper. Bring them on a phone or a laptop if thats easier ======
===== Also please ensure that you have taken a Lateral Flow Test on the day itself, and that you are double jabbed and boosted! =======

I’m afraid this one is going to be tough one – for all of you.
I’m going to show you how you can, almost immediately, improve your images significantly. Significantly. Push-you-right-to-the-top-of the-Intermediate-tables-significantly. Unfortunately it also means that after the session you may never look at your own images in the same way again …..

The cornerstone of photography – Composition

I’ll go through the rules of composition, with emphasis ONLY on the ones which you can use practically in the field. I’ve carried out an analysis on my own (because using others’ images probably infringes copyright laws) last 70 keeper images to support my views – and after an exercise or two, I’ll be asking you to evaluate your own images …..
2. Pauls Techy Corner
3. The Exposure Triangle
Primarily for the developers in the group, we will go through probably the most basic principle behind the cameras we use. Its a tricky one, and in my experience you either get it straight away or, well, only much later on. But you dont escape if youre Intermediate – you will become trainers ……
Hope to see you all there – if I havent scared you all off, that is 🙂

The RSP group will meet again in April when the meeting will be led by Janey Devine and John Bradshaw. This group is for all members who are interested in learning more about the Royal Society of Photography’s distinctions, which are also an excellent way to increase your skills.

You can bring along work in progress, your ongoing panels (the collections of images that make up a submission) and get excellent comment from others in the group with lots of skill sharing and technique advice.

Images don’t have to be mounted, but do stick them to some neutral coloured card simply as this helps keep them on the print panles we use to show the prints on.

You are also welcome to just come along to find out more if you don’t feel able to share any work yet.

The cost is £3 for Club Members and we meet in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15 for a 7.30 start.

These range from hand colouring, overlays, and complex blendings to digital bromoils and platinum look alikes. This promises to be a fascinating and informative evening even if for me, stretching!

We will be ending this season’s RPS Group meetings in celebratory mode. Paul Adams will be showing his recent successful L Panel and giving us feedback on the assessment he sat in on. And there will be cake – which might be birthday related.

So if you have yet to come along to one of these meetings, this could be the perfect time to find out more about the support we provide for those interested in following the RPS distinctions routes.

You’ll not only see Paul’s successful panel, but also work in progress and hear more about the advice provided, both by the Club and by the RPS. You’re welcome to bring along prints, but there’s no need – you can just come and join us to find out more.

We meet in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start. There’s a charge of £3 for Club members (and we expect to open the group again to visitors next season).

Photowalk - Dell Quay - boats, pontoons and sunsets
2022-09-18 16:30 - 19:30 | West Sussex
Dell Quay and its boats always sounds an easy one to me. But then again, its a case of taking shots into the setting sun and light needs to be controlled somehow, so maybe not so easy after all …..
So, Dell Quay – there are lots of small boats tied up just inshore and a very convenient slipway to take images of them from. As you walk north along the coastal path from the Crown and Anchor there are bigger boats, also moored inshore. And there is the star of the show – a very large wooden hull of what was once a proud boat, now only attractive to groups of photographers …… Add in two pontoons (one is in the pic above) and the opportunties for photography are surprisingly good, especially as its all over a short length of coast, maybe 80m at most.
Sunset is at 1912 and High Water is at 1808 (neaps). That means that we will be visiting over high water, so there should be plenty of water. The setting sun in your face can be tricky to handle, but at the same time the opportunities to add reflections of coloured sky to your image should be present.
So – boats, pontoons and sunsets then.
Meet at 1630 near the Crown and Anchor. That gives us two and half hours to chat, take pics and maybe ask one or two of the more advanced members for advice or input. The aim is to stay until just after sunset, depending on cloud cover and weather. For those who are more socially minded (who isnt) or food oriented (who isnt) the Crown and Anchor provides ample opportunity for both chat and nosh after the shoot.
The Crown and Anchors postcode is PO20 7EE. Parking is on road at the end of said road leading to the pub. Park where you can and walk to the pub. It is possible that you need to park a little way away from the pub and walk to it. On a Sunday around 4-5pm it shouldnt be too bad.
You will need walking boots as the pathway is uneven, or wellies if you want to take advantage of the slipway in order to get up close and personal with the many small boats which should still be there mid September. Either way, bring wellies anyway, it isnt a long walk back to the car to change footwear. Obviously dress for the weather.
Kit? No special kit is needed, I’d suggest that a standard lens is a good start point, with a wider one being useful. Add tripods and filters should you feel the need. Neither of those will be absolutely necessary though.
Think thats all, as always my mobby is 07974 173345 (save it now in your phone) and if Ive missed anything do get hold of me
Oh, and one effort being made this year is to increase the informal training which goes on in the field, so if you need help, advice or truly sorting out, do approach those in whom you trust to come help. As for me, I’d be flattered if someone asked for help, so fill your educational boots!

2022-09-20 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Join us for the first meeting of the season with an introduction to the distinctions offered by the Royal Photographic Society, including a chance to see a number of recent successful portfolios by Club Members.
If you are interested in raising your photographic game via the RPS routes, which require the submission of a related set of images leading to the award of Licentiate, Associate and Fellowship of the RPS, come along and find out more.
The group provides support in understanding the requirements the RPS, with helpful critique of your images to ensure they meet the published criteria, and for the two higher levels, how to go about setting your project and the necessary ‘statement of intent’.
We also cover the magic of ‘panelling’, that is how your set of images will fit well together, creating the ‘additional’ image that makes a whole of the parts. This is a skill that will serve you well not just for RPS purposes but also for the Club’s exhibitions and the Print Panel Competition.
The group is led by Lorna Brown FRPS (in Visual Art), and supported by Janey Devine and John Bradshaw, both also Fellows with considerable experience of the RPS distinctions process. Janey is a current member of both the Travel and Documentary assessment panels and John is a past long-standing member of the Contemporary panel.
We are pleased to once again open this Special Interest group to no-Club Members at a charge of £4

Digital Group Zoom Workshop
2022-10-15 09:00 - 10:30 | Virtual Group via Zoom,, United Kingdom
Dear All
Earlier this year I floated the idea of a digital workshop via Zoom which seemed to be well received. As a number of members cannot do weekday mornings I am suggesting running it on a Saturday morning from 9 to 10.30 a.m. on the Saturday after the print group, i.e. usually the 2nd Saturday of the month.
The first would be this Saturday, 15th October. If you would like us to look at an image, maybe one you’ve taken to the Print Group send it to me at nicholsarahccc@gmail.com so that I can upload it to Lightroom. Whilst this first session will probably be Lightroom based – I use it! – later I hope that we can persuade other members to give help with other platforms.
Please do join even if you haven’t sent an image – all ideas are extremely useful!

We’ll be in celebration mode at our October RPS Group meeting with Jonathan Fiske’s recent successful LRPS submission. Feedback from the assessment will be very useful for those developing portfolios, and this will cover not just what makes for successful panels but what lets images down.

You’ll be very welcome to join us, whether you’ve a number of images you are already thinking about as a submission or just to see what the group is about.

If you do have images to share, there’s no need to mount them, but backing them with card (white or cream is preferable) will help keep them on the print stands so we can see them best.

Join us in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15pm for 7.30 on Tuesday 18th October, £3 for Club Members and £4 for visitors.
