David Keep Underwater Photography Part 1 – From swimming pools to sharks (Zoom)
2022-03-03 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
I’m passionate about all forms of photography & confess to spending far too much time doing it! However, I’d describe myself as an image maker not a photographer as I enjoy the post-processing as much as I do taking the photo.

Astrid McGechen Publishing a book – A Mystery
2022-03-17 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Astrid is a freelance photographer and book author based in Surrey. She started to seriously engage in photography a few years ago, when struggling to juggle the demands of family life, motherhood and a stressful job. Spending time outdoors and photographing became her way of balancing life.
Initially, Astrid photographed almost exclusively landscapes, drawing her inspiration from scenes in the natural world that evoke a sense of tranquillity and harmony. Often, she’d be drawn towards the less obvious details in the landscape – such as shapes, patterns or a particular colour – making them the primary subject of her images. In the last few years, Astrid has become fascinated by street life and architecture and has photographed extensively in cities in the UK and abroad.

Ann Sutcliffe Especially for You
2022-03-31 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Anne took up photography in around 1984 and finds it difficult to put into words exactly what her ‘style’ is. Others have described her work as pastel or pale and interesting. They also comment that she sees pictures in places that others would pass by without a glance. She is best known for her ever-expanding series of pictures of lady’s public conveniences and for the fact that many of her pictures include a dog. Anne never passes by the opportunity for a photograph and takes landscapes, natural history and travel photographs. Since around 2001, Anne has concentrated on making alternative images in familiar locations such as Cuba , taking perverse pleasure in the fact that nobody can guess the location.

Caroline Preece Tools not Rules
2022-05-26 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Caroline Preece is the daughter of Margret Preece, a long-standing member of our club. In 2015 she gained her LRPS distinction and in 2019 she became a photographic judge and now judges at clubs across the UK. This journey has taken her into the world of photography as a visual language, visual design and the psychology of how we interpret the visual world around us and led her to reject the concept of rules altogether, thinking instead in terms of tools. If we understand the tools at our disposal we can then use them to better communicate through our photos.
Her own photography is a reflection of both her life pre-Covid in London and her rural upbringing in a small country village. On the one hand she is drawn to human elements and stories, documenting everyday life, chance occurrences, and captured moments. But then she seeks an escape from the hustle and bustle and creates minimalist landscapes and seascapes which for her represent ‘space to breathe’ away from the urban density of city life. She is a member of Loughton Camera Club which is on the London Essex border.
Her talk is entitled Tools Not Rules. The objective of her talk is to introduce to people a different way of thinking about photography and composition. The first part of the talk covers photography as a visual language. In the second part she aims to provide club members with an understanding of the psychology behind how people interpret the visual elements within an image, and the impact of their choices on the end image and how the viewer experiences it. The talk is based on psychology and is about empowering people to make informed decisions as opposed to worrying about rules and whether to break them.

Pre-Exhibition Members’ Meeting
2022-07-28 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Our Members’ Pre Exhibition meeting on Thursday 28th July, held as usual at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.30pm. We’re hoping to see lots of you there not just for the enjoyment of being back together again, but for some important Club business.

The meeting will be the first opportunity to see the exhibition catalogue (price £1) – and to see which of your entries have been accepted (no one has less than three print acceptances) and indeed to sneak a peek to see if you have been achieved any of the awards, which will be presented at the Preview on Friday 5th August at the Assembly Room. The catalogue is quite a work of art and our thanks are due to Andy Dulson for the fabulous job he has made of it.

There will also be a short version of the PDI Show, with thanks to Jeff Owen for that. Every PDI submitted has been accepted and during the exhibition you’ll be able to see all of those on the TV by the refreshments so you can sit an enjoy the showing with a coffee and some cake.

All the Certificates of Merit, chosen by our judge this year, Chris Palmer FRPS, will be distributed at the Members’ Pre-Exhibition Meeting too and it will be good to have an enthusiastic audience to celebrate each other’s successes.

We know for those who haven’t exhibited before – and indeed those who perhaps only did it once before our enforced cancellations – that arriving at the Assembly Room on Friday 5th August to set up your prints can be quite daunting. To help with that you’ll find some guidance notes explaining how to go about it and we can give some key pointers at the Pre-Exhibition Meeting too.

Importantly though we also need you there to take away the leaflets and posters that advertise the exhibition. You should distribute these as widely as you can – to neighbours, friends, local shops, your hairdressers and the like so we can attract as many people as we can to come along and see our wonderful showing.

We’ll also have next season’s programme available for a first look what there is in store for our Thursday meetings, as well as the key dates for competitions and the other exhibitions.

And finally, with the strange circumstances of the past two years, we have some Trophy and Cup Certificates from the exhibitions in 2020 and 2021 which we will also be very pleased to present.

Sams Sunflowers - Hayling
2022-08-04 18:30 - 21:00 | West Sussex
Come snap some sunflowers. Sams Sunflowers, a pick your own farm on Hayling, has now opened its sunflower fields. Yep, you can pick your own if so inclined, but come along with camera in hand. Its a decent place, loads of sunflowers, other flowers as well, but what makes it really handy is that there are usually two viewing platforms, helping you get your eye above the flower heads. An entrance fee of £5 gets you into the fields and affords you parking to boot. On Thursday the fields are open to 9pm.
This counts as a Development Group meeting – which means images taken on this event may be shown for general approval and tumultuous applause at the first Tangmere session in September. So put your game face on. I will be more than happy to provide any guidance you feel you might need.

Meet on Thursday 4th August at 6.45pm in the car park. Because its essentially a series of fields, there is no definitive postcode. Use PO11 0RT to get you close and look for signs for the entrance.

Exhibition Preview Meeting - Assembly Room in Chichester
2022-08-05 19:30 - 21:30 | The Assembly Room, North Street, Chichester, PO19 1LQ, United Kingdom
We will be celebrating the return of our Annual Exhibition to the Assembly Room, Chichester with the Preview on Friday 5th August. This event for all Club Members, their guests and our invited friends from across the wider photographic world, features the presentation of the awards by our Judge for the Exhibition, Chris Palmer, FRPS; a preview of the digital entries and a first chance to see the print exhibition of some 300 images by over 50 authors.
A special feature this year will be the showing of Graham Sergeant’s award winning AV Beeswing. Graham, who gave so much to the Club and held two Fellowships of the Royal Photographic Society, died last month and is much missed.
There is also a buffet supper and Club members are asked to support the evening by bringing along a sharing plate to add to the mix.
After our pandemic enforced three year gap, we are very pleased to be greeting our invited guests from other clubs in Sussex and the SCPF come to see what Chichester has to offer and to meet old friends. It is vital that Chichester is well represented.
7.00pm for 7.30pm at the Assembly Room, North Street, Chichester, PO19 1LQ (closest parking Little London)

Photowalk - Dell Quay - boats, pontoons and sunsets
2022-09-18 16:30 - 19:30 | West Sussex
Dell Quay and its boats always sounds an easy one to me. But then again, its a case of taking shots into the setting sun and light needs to be controlled somehow, so maybe not so easy after all …..
So, Dell Quay – there are lots of small boats tied up just inshore and a very convenient slipway to take images of them from. As you walk north along the coastal path from the Crown and Anchor there are bigger boats, also moored inshore. And there is the star of the show – a very large wooden hull of what was once a proud boat, now only attractive to groups of photographers …… Add in two pontoons (one is in the pic above) and the opportunties for photography are surprisingly good, especially as its all over a short length of coast, maybe 80m at most.
Sunset is at 1912 and High Water is at 1808 (neaps). That means that we will be visiting over high water, so there should be plenty of water. The setting sun in your face can be tricky to handle, but at the same time the opportunities to add reflections of coloured sky to your image should be present.
So – boats, pontoons and sunsets then.
Meet at 1630 near the Crown and Anchor. That gives us two and half hours to chat, take pics and maybe ask one or two of the more advanced members for advice or input. The aim is to stay until just after sunset, depending on cloud cover and weather. For those who are more socially minded (who isnt) or food oriented (who isnt) the Crown and Anchor provides ample opportunity for both chat and nosh after the shoot.
The Crown and Anchors postcode is PO20 7EE. Parking is on road at the end of said road leading to the pub. Park where you can and walk to the pub. It is possible that you need to park a little way away from the pub and walk to it. On a Sunday around 4-5pm it shouldnt be too bad.
You will need walking boots as the pathway is uneven, or wellies if you want to take advantage of the slipway in order to get up close and personal with the many small boats which should still be there mid September. Either way, bring wellies anyway, it isnt a long walk back to the car to change footwear. Obviously dress for the weather.
Kit? No special kit is needed, I’d suggest that a standard lens is a good start point, with a wider one being useful. Add tripods and filters should you feel the need. Neither of those will be absolutely necessary though.
Think thats all, as always my mobby is 07974 173345 (save it now in your phone) and if Ive missed anything do get hold of me
Oh, and one effort being made this year is to increase the informal training which goes on in the field, so if you need help, advice or truly sorting out, do approach those in whom you trust to come help. As for me, I’d be flattered if someone asked for help, so fill your educational boots!
