2021-04-27 19:30 - 21:30 | Zoom Online Club Meeting
Now for something different from the Digital Imaging Group. Rather than the usual Adobe hegemony we have a run through of Capture One demonstrated by our own Jan Davis.
Capture One is a professional-grade image editing application from Danish high-end digital photography equipment and software specialists Phase One, developed to cater for over 500 cameras and has become very popular amongst professional photographers.
Jan will give an overview of the latest features which make it even more useful in post production on RAW files (non destructive), reducing to a minimum the need to use Adobe CC.

Print Group: 14 September 2021
2021-09-14 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
For the first time since 10 Mar 20, the Print Group meets in the Tangmere Village Centre with our usual mix of work in progress through to favourite prints brought along to share.
Although there are no large print competitions until next year, the small print competition is still in the programme and the North Mundham exhibition will need preparation during the autumn. So it’s never too early to get your thinking caps on and prepare some prints.
We meet at 7.15 for a 7.30pm start in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre, with a £3 charge for Club Members (£4 non-members).

Not just the Developers Group
2021-09-20 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
============== Open to Intermediates too! ==============
This first session outlines the programme content for the entire year, and sets the scene for both the Small Print Competition and, well, everyone else too (forget those pesky Advanced members …). It also outlines the five or so Photowalks (or more!) we will do in the area. Do be there – it will be your opportunity to influence the content of what happens throughout the year, including the number and dates of the Photowalks (so far I’ve entered five dates, all of which will have to be moved for various reasons).
It will be really good to get as many Intermediates in the room – to give some guidance as to what content you really want to see during the year.
The Agenda (still and since Mike Harris’ note) will look something like this;

Structure of the sessions – Small Print Competition – Developers and Intermediates Topics – Clinics
Small Print Competition – how it will work over the five rounds
Overview of Group Educational Topics over eight sessions
Dates and days of five Photowalks
Use of media to manage Photowalks and to share images
Just what is our name???
Clinic (?)

RPS Group
2021-09-21 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
I’m pleased to say the RPS group has chosen to meet at our usual venue again in September after a period of virtual meetings.

Our first meeting of the new season will offer an introduction to the various distinctions made by the Royal Photographic Society so if you are interested in finding out more about how to put together a portfolio of images that meet the RPS’s criteria do come along.

A number of recent successful panels will be on show along with an overview of the requirements. It will also be a particular pleasure to see some of the work in progress that so far we have only seen online and hear from those developing submissions.

If you already have some ideas about work to enter, you are also very welcome to bring that along. There’s is no need to mount that and small prints are perfectly suitable to begin with. it is however helpful if you do stick prints to a card of some kind as this will keep them upright on the display boards we use.

Mindful of Covid precautions, there will be sanitiser available, we will keep the room ventilated and please bring the correct change (£3) to avoid handing money. I regret that although these sessions are usually open to none members, to keep our number low that is not possible just now.

We meet at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre.

Digital Group
2021-09-28 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
We will kick off this year with a basic overview of what Digital Processing is all about. Looking at why we need to process our images, file formats and what software is available.
We will then cover the basics of preparing images for our competitions and how to upload them to PhotoComp. Also covering how to change images, set the title correctly etc.
I would like feedback from attendees as to what topics they would like to see covered for further sessions in the year.
This will be a Zoom meeting, the details are:

2021-10-12 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom

It would be helpful if one or two of you could arrive early to help setup the display boards and set out the chairs.

Development Group (Club and Intermediate)
2021-10-18 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Planned Agenda for Development Group on Monday 18th October
This Session is going to be informative and as much fun as Linda and I can inject …… it centres around two major topics – Filters and Mounting images. The Filters bit is the serious bit – and there is a lot to get through. The Mounting bit could be a lot of fun – Linda will do a demo on how to measure, cut and assemble your prints in a mount, and then we will both follow by getting maybe a half dozen people to bring prints and frames and then cut mounts to suit during the session.
For now the Agenda will look something like this
. Small Print Competition
. Filters
. Printing (might get dropped depending on time)
. Mounting demo and practice
. Preparation for next Photowalk – West Wittering

See you there!
Andy 🙂

2021-10-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
We had a really enjoyable RPS Group meeting on Tuesday 21st September – the first time we have met in person for 18 months. It was a particular pleasure to see a number of recent successful panels at Licentiate and Associate levels, and thanks to Sarah Nichol, Lynne and Jeff Owen for bringing those along.

At last we were also able to see work in progress in print form after our months looking online. Thanks especially to Janey Devine who is currently an RPS Assessor on the L panel as well as both Travel and Documentary and so is very well placed to advise on the recent changes to the assessment criteria. With John Bradshaw’s eagle eye on technical matters and his and Graham Sargent’s long experience as assessment panel members too, the group is very well served to support those looking to pursue the RPS Distinction routes.

Your can find notes from the meeting here https://www.dropbox.com/s/ga0tk5peinfm9az/RPS%20group%20introduction.pdf?dl=0 offering a general introduction to the different levels, and here https://www.dropbox.com/s/4zsgo2rff2tgfmr/RPS%20Distinctions%20Associateship.pdf?dl=0 more about the ARPS. The RPS has considerable information online, which you can find here https://rps.org/qualifications/.

We meet again on Tuesday 18th October, in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start. You are welcome to come along and observe or bring work in progress and there will be further opportunities to see recent successful panels.

At this month’s Print Group Lorna Brown will be showing how various papers can make a fundamental difference to the effect and look of an image. Allied to this the choice of mount to set off the image is also crucial.
Do also bring along you own prints for review.
As usual we will meet in the small hall at Tangmere.

. How to make your images pop – the inside track from three photographers
. Paul’s Techy Corner
. Crash course in Night Photography
. === For last years Developers only === problem corner and The Exposure Triangle ===

I will be asking you to bring laptops and raw images to edit live. More in an email in due course 🙂

RPS Group
2021-11-16 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
We meet again on Tuesday 16th November – and again at Tangmere Village centre in the small hall. We’ll be able to see Nick Hepworth’s very recent successful L Panel, along with Tony Baverstock’s successful A panel.

I signed in to observe the RPS Licentiate assessments this week and will be able to report back. It’s very clear that the criteria for success are being equitably applied – variety of images, a range of techniques, visual understanding and a cohesive set of images – while the reasons panels are not successful are also very clear. These are as ever technical faults (over sharpening, overblown highlights, poor print quality for instance) coupled with repetition (or lack of variety) and panel collections that don’t sit well together. Come along and find out more and bring work for discussion if you are ready or simply join us to explore if the RPS distinctions are for you.

7.15pm for a 7.30pm start – £3 for Club members. We regret we are not able to offer the RPS Group to non-members for now.

I thought it would be useful to look at the latest Lightroom update where they have vastly improved the mask tools. There are various videos on Youtube which are well worth looking at beforehand – I followed Dave Abbott’s suggestion of “Photoshop Cafe”.
If you would like any comment / help with any of you images either send the file to me at digitalgroup@chichestercameraclub.org.uk by Wednesday or be prepared to share your screen in Lightroom.
