This month we will have a masterclass from John Bradshaw. He is going to show a variety of recent manipulations for his current projects.

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 | West Sussex
====== 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

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 🙂

The RPS Group this month is double hit – not enough work this month to share between the group and I’ve brought back a reminder of my Scottish trip in the form of a wretched cold! Nothing worse than a cold I’m pleased to say (thank you negative flow test) but I wouldn’t want to be sharing even this virus.
I’m pleased to say that I’ve promises of work to show next month (Tuesday 15th March) and so I look forward to seeing everyone then.

Paul Davison
2022-02-03 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
I’ve always enjoyed visiting new places, meeting new people and I suffer from an unquenchable desire to escape normality. For as long as I can remember I’ve always had the urge to get out and see the world, experience new cultures and explore wild landscapes but it wasn’t until I started to travel the world that photography became one of my great passions in life.
Over the past decade or so I’ve been able to travel extensively and experience many of the amazing gifts the planet has to offer. It’s these experiences that naturally led to me specialising in travel photography. Although it’s often the incredible landscapes that make people want to travel, it’s the culture and interaction with the native people that I find the most rewarding. I love to take candid photos of people going about their everyday life. If you can take an image that captures the essence of a culture and successfully relay that to the viewer then it will have achieved everything a good travel image should.
