Exhibition Preview Meeting - Assembly Room in Chichester
2022-08-05 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | 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)

Tony Gervis FRPS – ‘Visions of America’
I have photographed America for over 45 years. In 2013 I was offered the job as an official photographer for the National Parks of America. I have ‘go anywhere’ passes (better than a press pass) for 5 of the top 10 rodeos. I have visited 117 of the National and State Parks.

Photowalk - Dell Quay - boats, pontoons and sunsets
2022-09-18 16:30 - 19:30
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!

Regnum Print Shield Competition – 17th November
Judge : David Smith ARPS, President of the SPA

Once again it is Chichester’s turn to host this Annual Print Competition.

The competing clubs are down to just five – Chichester, Henfield, Littlehampton, Southwick and Storrington – as Mid Sussex and Steyning have been unable to put a panel of eight prints together in time because of the pandemic.

The winning club gets to take home the Charles Howard Shield. Charles was a past member of Chichester Camera Club which was one of the founding members of the Regnum Crouch organisation back in the 1950’s.

Cost:

Entry is free for one representative of each of the four visiting clubs.

Additional visitors are welcome – for a visitor’s fee of £5 each – but please inform programme@chichestercameraclub.org.uk how many guests we should expect.

Payment may be made in cash but we do have facilities for cashless payment.

Photowalk - Staunton Country Park - All welcome
2022-12-10 13:00 - 16:00
Andy Bracey will be leading a Photowalk to encourage and experiment with ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) on Saturday 10th December Saunton Country Park just north of Havant.
We will meet in the Staunton Country Park Car Park, at 1pm. The postcode is PO9 5HD. Note that the entrance is directly off the B2149 (grid 50.876129, 0.973613 or ///ponies.copying.lamppost). This is NOT the same location as Staunton Farm.
All are welcome, including guests. As ICM images are becoming fashionable in the club (including our Chairman’s recent 10!), this is an ideal opportunity for those who wish to use the day as a practice session.
Andy Bracey has already sent a friendly how-to-do-ICM note to the Developers’ Group … if you have not got one, please email Andy. Andy and Paul will be on hand to help out, as will other members familiar with the genre. We will stay in the park until 4pm (the car cark closes at 4.30 pm).
Staunton Country park is not huge, it is in fact, perfect size. The car park backs onto a grassy park, full of perfect trees for ICM practice. Moving on there is what I can only describe as a Victorian brick built ‘veranda’. A place you could have a wedding whilst looking out over the lake below. As you might imagine, the walk carries on past and around the lake and back again. There are one or two wrinkles we might introduce by way of variation.
Do let Andy know that you hope to come along – if we have to cancel because of impossible weather, we need to be able to let you know so you do not have a wasted journey
It should be an excellent afternoon in like-minded company! See you there!

2023-02-02 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Zoom presentation – No meeting at Tangmere: Following on from the talk that focused on a photographic journey from an era that was predominantly the start of landscape astrophotography, this talk is based on a recent, previously postponed 2-month self-drive journey. The Bolivian, Chilean and Peruvian Altiplano, an area considered a Mecca for landscape astrophotography, and renowned for having the best atmospheric conditions on the planet for astronomy. An adventure over some of the most remote landscapes in the world riddled with logistical problems, high altitude, sub-zero temperatures, low humidity and a complete lack of civilization and infrastructure. The presentation will show landscape, nightscape, astronomy images alongside behind the scenes images and video.

Linda Bembridge FRPS – ‘Mostly Abstract’ (Zoom presentation : No meeting at Tangmere)
My goal is to use my camera frame as a means by which to pull the viewer out of a logical and recognisable world into a space which feels moe alive and joyful. I am drawn to shapes, colour and rhythm while I strive to connect with the chaos that surrounds us. My work varies from representational to abstract and I move between the two continually. Every image I produce is part of my journey to find my creative voice, each has its place and its own story to tell.
