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.

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.

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!

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 - 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 🙂

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).

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
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)

Tony Gervis FRPS - 'Visions of America'
2022-09-01 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
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.
