Print Group Tuesday 8th January
2019-01-08 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
I fear you really can’t get the staff for the Print Group just now as I’ll be AWOL again this month. In my defence though, last month was indeed simply pleasure, this time it’s a grandparenting duty call and John Howes has kindly agreed to step into the breech so the group will meet as usual at 7.30pm in the small hall, £3 for members and £4 for visitors.
If you haven’t tried the group yet do come along – it’s an ideal friendly place to simply talk abut our prints, share tips, techniques and ideas. Bring along any prints you’d like to show, work in progress, perhaps those you’d like advice on or those you simply want to share. They don’t need to be mounted but for purely practical purposes, it is best if you do back them with card so they will stay upright on the print stands and the bottom edge will clear the trim.
In February we will be looking particularly at different print papers – and with a Lightroom Print process session on the 22nd January, two complimentary sessions that will fit very nicely together.

February’s Print Group on Tuesday 12th will look in particular at some of the many different photo papers available and the impact these can have on the finished print. If you can, do bring along work on different papers, but as always, any work you would like to share will be very welcome.
The Print Group is an friendly, informal gathering where we share work in progress, share views tips and techniques. Bring along prints you like, those that you would like suggestions for or indeed that you are considering for competitions.
Work doesn’t need to be mounted, but tacking prints to supporting card will be helpful. All welcome!

This month’s Print Group is Perfectly Positioned for Panels. With the Spring Exhibition at the end of March and the Print Panel Competition itself on the 4th April, this is a timely opportunity to look at how images work well together through some of the principles behind panelling – which in its simplest means how best to put a group of images together.
This includes thinking about using images with a similar tonal range, concepts such as central images and ‘bookends’ and telling visual stories. We can also touch on the dark arts of making hanging plans.
As always you can bring along work in progress, final ideas to share with others or just come along to meet others and join in the discussions.
Tuesday 12th March in the small hall at Tangmere at for a 7.30pm start. Visitors also very welcome, at a fee of £4, with £3 for Club Members.

This month’s Print Group will have a particular focus on submitting work for the forthcoming Annual Exhibition – the deadline for which is the 16th May. Bring along work in progress you’d like to share and perhaps get views on, finished work you’re thinking of entering for the exhibition, or just prints you would like to show.
This will be an ideal opportunity to get to understand the the behind the scenes workings of the Annual Exhibition and how best to present your work to ensure it does as well as possible. Unlike the two ‘free-form’ exhibitions of North Mundham and the Spring Exhibition, this one is judged, although every member who submits work is guaranteed at least one image will be accepted.
There’s no need to mount work, but please do attache prints to simple pieces of card so that they will stay upright on the prints stands.
You are also very welcome to just drop in to join the group without bringing prints along if you don’t feel ready to share work yet.
Tuesday 9th April at 7pm in the small hall at Tangmere. £3 for members and £4 for visitors.

Print Group sessions draw to a close on Tuesday 14th May with a timely opportunity to take a final look at print entries for this year’s Annual Exhibition (deadline 16th May) and how best to maximise your submissions. Advice also available for those who’d like to produce a hanging plan for their entries!
You’re very welcome – as always – to bring any prints along you’d like to share, discuss or ask for thoughts about, and it’s not necessary to bring work in mounts. It does help though if you simply stick any prints onto some sort of card so that they will stand up on the stands.
Small Hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.30pm (help setting up earlier than that also appreciated) with a £3 charge for Members and £4 for visitors.

The first Print group of the new season is on Tuesday 10th September in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre. New members are especially welcome to come along and find out more.
The group is a friendly and supportive way to share your images and your views. Those coming along have a wide range of photographic experience and knowledge which we share in an informal workshop type setting. For those who have never shown their photographs to anyone other than family and friends, we know it can be quite daunting to share your images with others and this group is a very easy way to take that step. We all learn from each other and can assist with in getting the best out of your prints, deciding which images to enter for competitions or just to enjoy seeing each many different styles and interests in the work we share.
While you are not obliged to bring along work and can just come along to see what we do, you are encouraged to do so. Prints can be any size, do not need to be mounted, can be work in progress or long finished images you’d just like to show. do though please back prints with some card so they will stay upright on the print stands we use.
Come along at 7.15 for a 7.30pm start, and there is a charge of £3 for Club members, £4 for visitors who are also very welcome.

Print Group got of to a great start last month with a good number of brave new members ready to show work, and very interesting work it was too with much diversity.
We meet again on Tuesday 8th October at 715 for a 7.30pm start in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre, at £3 for members.
As always, the group welcomes photographers at all levels of experience and you can bring along work at various stages to share. It can be finished work you’d like to show, work in progress or that tricky image that you’d like advice on. You might like to use the group to help you deiced which images to put in for competitions, and later in the year to think about exhibition prints.
You are also welcome to just come along to see what the group is about and there’s no need to bring work if you don’t feel ready to.
There’s no need to mount work – but if you attach prints (which can be just A5 approximate size) to card they will sit better on the prints stands.
I look forward to seeing you then.

The RPS Group welcomes all those who are interested in finding out more and working towards the distinctions offered by the Royal Photographic Society. We meet for our second session this season on Tuesday 15th October when we will be looking at some recent LRPS (Licentiate) and ARPS (Associate) awards and the underlying principles of making panels (that is a cohesive group pf images) at those levels.
You are welcome to simply come along to find out more, and when you are ready, to bring along a good wide selection of your photographs. These do not need to be full size (A5 or so is fine), but do please tack them onto some card as this helps keep them upright on the print stands we use.
Other members of the group are already well on their way to completed panels and our discussions of those will demonstrate further how to go about applying for these highly regarded distinctions.
You don’t need to be a member of Chichester Camera Club to join this (or indeed any of our Special Interest Groups).
