THE DEVELOPERS GROUP
The Developers group is provided exclusively for Club class members and provides an opportunity for inexperienced photographers to get to grips with the basics of photography. This is the first meeting of the new season at which we will cover how to take control of your camera through the understanding of shutter speed, aperture and ISO and the inter-relationship between them.
In the second half of the evening there will be tips on taking pictures of landscapes and wildlife with complementary practical exercises to aid learning.

RPS Group
The first RPS Group meeting of the season on Tuesday 18th September is an ideal opportunity to find out more about the art of creating panels (co-ordinated sets of images) as well as the criteria for achieving the Royal Photographic Society accreditation. These are Licentiate, Associateship and Fellowship, awards now held by a good number of Club members, many of whom who have been supported through this group. Do just come along to observe to find out if this might be something you would like to pursue.

Multimedia Group

MultiMedia Group
The Multimedia Group meets during the club season, generally on the last Wednesday of each month. The first meeting is 26th September 2018 at 7:30 Tangmere Centre (for more details please check the website: http://chichestercameraclub.org.uk/category/multimedia/ ).
The idea of the group is to encourage members to present their images in many different formats, such as Books, AVs and perhaps AV with video clips.
The common theme is about creating a coherent collection of images and then presenting them. The images may just sit well together or tell a story. Many of our members are interested in documentary photography and Books and AVs are an idea medium to present such work.
When embarking on such a project there are new tools to learn such as Book authoring software, AV production software such as Pictures2Exe or Video editing software for video clips. The group runs tutorial sessions to get you going and provides a meeting place to discuss projects, ideas and tackle any difficulties you may be having.
Time is available at each meeting for members to bring their work and receive constructive criticism.
The group can also provide guidance on constructing a successful Book or AV. With AVs, the use of sound, the timing and the ordering of the slides can all lift the final product. Books benefit from thinking about the layout, the font, the page colours and many other factors.
We hope to have speakers during the year to discuss their work and provide inspiration or education. The first meeting is usually reserved to setting an agenda for the rest of the year, taking into account the wishes of the group members.
The group is open to all, the cost to Chichester Camera club members is £3 and to others £4.
Look forward to seeing you,
Jeff Owen

Print Group
2018-10-09 19:30 - 21:30
The Print Group got of to a very lively start this season at our meeting in September and we were pleased to welcome new Club members. Other than one brave soul our new members didn’t bring work this time, which is fine, but they are promising to do so in October. Later in the season we will have meetings that look at specifics of the printed images, but October will be a general meeting to simply share our images – perhaps with an eye on the forthcoming first print competitions this season.
The group is an ideal way to share your enjoyment in photography It’s all about the end product so we cover composition, cropping, content and also look at the ways different papers will affect the finished picture. You’ll pick up lots of tips too, on camera technique and post proccessing.
Just bring along your favourite images to share, or perhaps work in progress. If you’d like to different ideas about images that just aren’t coming together as you’d like, the Print Group is an ideal place for you. You’ll also be very welcome to just come along to find out more about the group without bringing work to show.
The group is open to all photographers, whether new or advanced, and is an easy way in to learn about critique and chat to other Club members about work.
We meet on the second Tuesday of the month in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre, at 7.30pm. There’s a charge of £3 for Club members and £4 for visitors.

Portrait Group Meeting with opportunity to photograph with studio lights
2018-10-10 19:30 - 21:30
Introduction meeting for the portrait group to see what the group does and actually take some photographs using studio lights.
The Portrait Group invites all interested members to a meeting where we will set up studio lights and backdrop so all those interested will have the opportunity to take some photographs and learn some basics about Studio Photography.
We can usually resolve any problems connecting to the lights by slave flash or flash trigger that we will bring along.
We will also summarise the dates for shoots for the season and are open to any suggestions to include in the program.

We had a really lively Print Group in October, with two members bravely showing work for the first time – and very good work it was too!
We meet again on Tuesday 13th November, and this month we will be considering in particular composition and images of water. You may of course – as always – bring along work in progress or work you would simply like to share of any sort, but particularly welcome will be images you feel demonstrate those rules of composition, or indeed that successfully break those rules.
Also – at our last meeting we discussed the speeds required to freeze water or conversely, to create those soft or even milky images of moving water. If you have examples and the camera speeds you used do bring those along. About 8 images and backed with card (to help them stay on the stands) is suggested to ensure time for everyone.
Members who would just like to come along without showing work are also welcome – come along to get a feel for the group to see if it’s for you. We meet at 7.30pm in the small hall at Tangmere, with a cost of £3 for members and £4 for visitors.

Some Enchanted Evening by Brian Southward

Print Group
2018-12-11 19:30 - 21:30
Our December Print Group will be a ‘self-help’ affair as a rather lovely hotel has made me a pre-Christmas offer it would have been rude to refuse and so I won’t be with you. Dave Abbott has kindly agreed to look after the evening in by absence – thank you Dave!
We had a bit of a topic in October, comparing images of water and the shutter speeds needed to achieve various different end results – whether that was tranquil still effects or fast ‘freezing’ of swift flowing streams. In doing so, we visited Scotland, Wales, England and France!
November will revert to any images of any subject that you’d like to bring along to discuss. For any members who haven’t yet tried Print Group, you can bring work in any stage of development – a first rough print through to finished and mounted images. It is best to bring prints simply stuck onto a piece of card as this will help keep them upright on the print stands, and ensure the bottom of the print doesn’t disappear below the print stand edge.
While the Print Group offers a chance to share and learn new skills and talk about images you might want to enter into competitions, at heart it is simply an opportunity to just chat about photographs with like-minded folk.
You can come along without bringing any prints – the only caveat is that if everyone does that we have nothing to talk about, so if you can, please do bring prints to share.
We meet on the second Tuesday of the month in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.30pm with a charge of £3 for Club Members and £4 for visitors.

Print Group Tuesday 8th January

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.
