2025-03-17 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Next Monday, our magazine programme will also include: the 20 keys to composition … along with another classic painter … getting the image sharp in camera, and a presentation on capturing birds in flight. Charlie will give us details of how to see the film starring Lesley Garwood. To round off the evening, David Harris will show us how to press flowers in a microwave and then photograph them.

As usual, we will start with your images. The photo-challenges in February/March were ‘Shoot from a low viewpoint’ and ‘Backlit photography’. We hope that some have had a go recently or can find some in your back catalogue. Anyway, we really do we want to see your images of whatever subject or genre, and we will welcome your reflections on your own work. 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 15 March.

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. Please don’t forget the £3 cash to help us pay for the hire of the hall (£5 for non-member guests you might invite along).

Developers' Group

Next Monday is the final Developers Group of the series – we are not meeting in May.
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!
As usual, we will start with your images and welcome your reflections on your own work. The current photo-challenges are ‘backlit images’ and ‘strong colours’. 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.
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 midnight this Saturday 12 April.
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. Please remember the £3 cash to help us pay for the hire of the hall (£5 for non-member guests you may invite).

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.

We’ve taken a break with the RPS group as it has been unclear what changes the Royal Photographic Society is planning to the distinctions and when these are to be implemented. Now however we do know there will be no changes made in 2026 and so we reconvene on 20th January with an insight into the Licentiate process with work from Jane Webster’s recent successful LRPS and what the statement of intent means to the category an Associate or Fellowship is subjected under with Michael Palamer’s recent FRPS in Visual Art and Contemporary.

To find out more join us at 7.15pm for 7.30pm – no need to bring work
