Please bring any prints you would like some feedback on with regards to the print and presentation. – We are offering those who wanted their PRINTs critiquing (not the PDIs) from the 1st Club and Intermediate competition to bing them along. Clearly we cant go through all the prints that were submitted but if you would like some help with any that you would like to enter the Spring or Summer Exhibition then bring them along on the 10th of December or indeed, any future print and presentation group evenings.

The RPS Group meets for the first time in 2025 on Tuesday 21st January, offering opportunities to find out more about the distinctions offered by the Royal Photographic Society. The Club has a considerable number of members with these awards, including seven at Fellowship level, the majority of whom have benefitted from the support of the group over the years.

The entry level award – the Licentiate – offers a really sound photographic development route, even without the award itself. It requires a submission of 10 images that demonstrate a good awareness of photographic and processing understanding and it set against clearly defined criteria.

Come along to find out more, we start at 7.15pm for 7.30pm and now meet in the large hall rather than the small hall we’ve previously used. The charge is £3 for members and £5 for visitors.

Developer’s Group
The next Developers’ Group meeting of Chichester Camera Club is this coming Monday, 27 January at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15 for 7.30pm prompt start.
Please send in your images to share at the meeting! They are already starting to arrive. The photo-challenge over December was ‘Photograph the light’. Perhaps you have made an image of the many festive lights, or night time shots around the streets. Anyway, but really do we want to see your best recent images of whatever subject or genre. It is a good idea to try out your images at the Developers’ Group before you put them into competitions … whatever you show to us is not counted as an ‘official Club entry’!
Please send 3 JPG images by WeTransfer (to developers@chichestercameraclub.org.uk) – it gets round the problem that some of the email services degrade the image quality. Please send them by this Saturday 18 January.
Next Monday, our magazine programme will also include: ‘How to re-think exposure and settings’, ‘Seeing and handling light’ through the eyes of another classic painter, and important recommendations for improving your cameracraft. After the break, Andy Bracey will give us an illustrated tour “From where I was and how I got to where I am”. His presentation will be fascinating, and we will be able to identify with his photographic journey – picking up a load of great hints and tips along the way!
It will be another evening packed with ideas and tips for photographers at all stages. Do bring a handy notebook/device to jot down the things that grab your attention.
We very much look forward to receiving your images no later than midnight this Saturday, and seeing you next Monday, 27 January; and please remember the £3 cash to help us pay for the hire of the hall (if you are bringing a non-member then it is £5 for them).

The next Developers’ Group meeting is this coming Monday, 17 February, at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15 for 7.30pm prompt start. Although only half of the car park is available, there is plenty of kerbside space on the road outside the venue.
It is now time to send in your images to share at next week’s meeting! They are already starting to arrive. The photo-challenge over January was ‘Shoot from a low viewpoint’. Despite the miserable weather, we hope that some have experimented. Anyway, we really do we want to see your best images of whatever subject or genre. As you know, those who try out their images at the Developers’ Group, before putting them into competitions and exhibitions, often do quite well!
Please send 3 JPG images by WeTransfer (to developers@chichestercameraclub.org.uk) by this Saturday 15 February.

Next Monday, our magazine programme will also include: understanding aperture with its f/numbers and significance for depth of field, key questions for good composition, filters and how to use them … along with another classic painter (clue: misty landscapes with perspective).
And we will explain how to enter and present photographs for the Spring Exhibition on 5/6 April this year (this will be really important for all Club and Intermediate workers),
We very much look forward to receiving your images no later than midnight this Saturday 15 February, and seeing you next Monday, 17 February. Please remember the £3 cash to help us pay for the hire of the hall (if you are bringing a non-member then it is £5 for them).

The February RPS Group meets at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start. You are welcome to attend to find out more about the Royal Photographic Society distinctions, that run from the Licentiate which requires a set of images that demonstrate clear camera and technical skills against a set of published criteria, to the Fellowship, which calls for a ‘submission that demonstrates a distinctive and distinguished body of work’. The group offers a friendly and informative meeting and is supported by Club members who are Fellows and who also are experienced advisors and assessors with the RPS.
Come along and find out more!

The magazine programme will include: ’20 keys to composition’, ‘seeing and handling light’ through the eyes of another classic painter, photowalks and opportunities for Events Photography, the Annual Exhibition, and a presentation by Vince Lavender on how to create multi-layered collage images. After the break, as a special ‘end of term treat’, Julia Wainwright and Ian Roberts will take us on their Photographic Trips at Home and Abroad – from conception of the plan to the final results … and the stages in between. Their presentation will be fascinating, enabling us to connect with their photographic journey – and picking up a load of great hints and tips along the way!

Anyway, we really do we want to see your best images of whatever subject or genre. This is also the last opportunity to try out images you might like to include in the Annual Exhibition.

Image and Presentation
2025-10-14 19:00 - 21:30 | West Sussex
The first meeting of this season will be on Tuesday 14th October, in the main hall. Please arrive at 7.15pm to help set up the hall, ready for a 7.30pm start. During this meeting we will cover the basics of image processing, sizing for club competition, printing and mounting. If, during the evening, you would like constructive feedback on your work please send digital versions of your images (no more than 3) by Sunday 12th October to imagegroup@chichestercameraclub.org.uk

The purpose of the Image and Presentation group is to help members improve the quality of their digital and printed images. Through a process of sharing expertise, mutual encouragement and constructive feedback the group will help you to select your best images and consider whether they be more suited to PDI or print, share hints and tips on how to process them to create a compelling digital image and finally how to print, mount and panel them for display in competition, exhibition or even on your wall at home. Throughout the season we will also look at some successful images and discuss what makes them successful. The meetings will be held at Tangmere (usually in the main hall) on the second Tuesday of each month.

We look forward to seeing you there.
