RPS Group
2022-05-17 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
We will be ending this season’s RPS Group meetings in celebratory mode. Paul Adams will be showing his recent successful L Panel and giving us feedback on the assessment he sat in on. And there will be cake – which might be birthday related.

So if you have yet to come along to one of these meetings, this could be the perfect time to find out more about the support we provide for those interested in following the RPS distinctions routes.

You’ll not only see Paul’s successful panel, but also work in progress and hear more about the advice provided, both by the Club and by the RPS. You’re welcome to bring along prints, but there’s no need – you can just come and join us to find out more.

We meet in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start. There’s a charge of £3 for Club members (and we expect to open the group again to visitors next season).

Club Photowalk - The Hawk Conservancy
2022-05-08
============== Note the date change to 8th May ==============

The Hawk Conservancy is a dazzling place to go watch various kinds of raptors strutting their stuff.
If you havent been there, dont assume its just another place to go see birds on sticks. No such relaxing luxury. Instead you will be confronted with a series of flying shows, getting better throughout the day and topped off with the amazing vultures, red kites and the owls. All in open territory. And not a cage bar in sight.
Meet in the car park of the Hawk Conservancy at a relaxed 10.15. That gives us 45 minutes to muster, get through the check in, orientate ourselves and get to the first talk/event at 11.00. The Centre is near Thruxton, just west of Andover and the postcode for the Centre is SP11 8DY. For most of you the journey is likely to be just over an hour.
The flying schedule has changed a little from past years, but in outline it starts slowly at 11 and then immediately picks up pace, carrying on to around 2.30 when there is a break for lunch. Either bring a packed lunch or eat (outside or in) at the Centre’s Cafe. Activities resume at 3.45 and finish at around 5.15.
A full description of the events can be found on the website (www.hawk-conservancy.org) under ‘Visit’. Its also where you can prebook your ticket. Prebooking is advised, as during Covid numbers have been restricted and that may well still be the case . A ticket price will be around £15. I’ve booked mine.
Do bring a face mask, it may still be required in indoors areas, notably the cafe.
Apart from that, bring a camera and a long lens. You wont need much else, apart from spare batteries and cards. Brush up on your camera’s focus tracking functions (inward groan – landscapes dont tend to move much ….) and thats it. Oh, and there is a fair amount of schlepping from event to event and comfortable clothing and footwear is a necessity.
This will be a good one so press your credit card into action now – and thanks Lorraine for suggesting it
Andy 🙂

Digital Group Zoom Meeting
2022-04-26 19:30 - 21:30 | Virtual Group via Zoom,, United Kingdom
This month we will have a masterclass from John Bradshaw. He is going to show a variety of recent manipulations for his current projects. These range from hand colouring, overlays, and complex blendings to digital bromoils and platinum look alikes. This promises to be a fascinating and informative evening even if for me, stretching!

RPS Group
2022-04-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
The RSP group will meet again in April when the meeting will be led by Janey Devine and John Bradshaw. This group is for all members who are interested in learning more about the Royal Society of Photography’s distinctions, which are also an excellent way to increase your skills.

You can bring along work in progress, your ongoing panels (the collections of images that make up a submission) and get excellent comment from others in the group with lots of skill sharing and technique advice.

Images don’t have to be mounted, but do stick them to some neutral coloured card simply as this helps keep them on the print panles we use to show the prints on.

You are also welcome to just come along to find out more if you don’t feel able to share any work yet.

The cost is £3 for Club Members and we meet in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15 for a 7.30 start.

Club Photowalk - Hotwalls
2022-04-02 11:00 - 13:30
====== UPDATE – There is some (re)construction of the sea walls going on at Clarence Pier. The original meet spot and car park have been changed, as have one or two of the highlights. The blurb below has been updated to reflect this ==============
Hotwalls is the local name for the original defence structures built at the mouth of Portsmouth harbour. The photowalk is a linear one from Clarence Pier to the Spice Island pub. Everyone is invited!
There are many and varied photo opportunites along the way (bring at least a 24-105mm FF lens), but my personal faves are

. The daffs!
. The arts section built into the Hotwalls
. Victoria Pier
. The concrete and wood benches looking out to sea
. The steps leading into the Round Tower (pic above)
. The Spinnaker Tower up close (ish) at The Point

Meet just before 11am on Saturday April 2nd in Clarence Pier car park. Get to the Esplanade Car Park, PO5 3AD, (the what three words address is novel.mole.danger) and meet at the pedestrian exit on the roundabout (gave.basin.pouch)
The plan is to walk for five-ten minutes to get around the sea wall works, and join the walk proper at the daffodils.
Thats really it, dress for the weather. Wellies not necessary – just wear comfortable footwear. I’d be very surprised if the walk took less than three hours, so plan on that plus a little more for safety 🙂
My number, as always, is 07974 173345
See you there!
🙂

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.

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.

RPS Group Tuesday 15th March
2022-03-15 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
I’m pleased to say we will meet again at Tangmere this month when two members of the group who been through the Royal Photographic Society’s one-to-one service on potential portfolio submissions will share with us the advice they received.
The group exists to support members who are interested in following the RPS distinctions routes and is open to all. Whether you have work well in development for submission or are just interested in finding out more, you will be very welcome.
We meet in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre, at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start. The cost is £3 to Club members, and I regret we are not yet able to open the sessions to non-club members.

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.

Developer/Intermediate Group
2022-02-21 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
===== Bring along a dozen of your own recent images. Of any size, of any quality, on any paper. Bring them on a phone or a laptop if thats easier ======
===== Also please ensure that you have taken a Lateral Flow Test on the day itself, and that you are double jabbed and boosted! =======

I’m afraid this one is going to be tough one – for all of you.
I’m going to show you how you can, almost immediately, improve your images significantly. Significantly. Push-you-right-to-the-top-of the-Intermediate-tables-significantly. Unfortunately it also means that after the session you may never look at your own images in the same way again …..

The cornerstone of photography – Composition

I’ll go through the rules of composition, with emphasis ONLY on the ones which you can use practically in the field. I’ve carried out an analysis on my own (because using others’ images probably infringes copyright laws) last 70 keeper images to support my views – and after an exercise or two, I’ll be asking you to evaluate your own images …..
2. Pauls Techy Corner
3. The Exposure Triangle
Primarily for the developers in the group, we will go through probably the most basic principle behind the cameras we use. Its a tricky one, and in my experience you either get it straight away or, well, only much later on. But you dont escape if youre Intermediate – you will become trainers ……
Hope to see you all there – if I havent scared you all off, that is 🙂
