Portrait Shoot with model“Guide to the age of dinosaur portraiture”
2015-10-06 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
“Guide to the age of dinosaur portraiture”!I think this will make more of a “show” and be more amusing,if not downright comic for most members.I would not want members to take me too seriously.
At the first Show I would bring my own cameras & Lighting because familiarity with this gear will make things go more smoothly.I would start by using only the Tungsten modelling lamps with honeycombes & barn doors ,my
Arca 5×4 & and heavy studio tripod that I have used since the sixties;this being as close as I can get to the old film set Mole s of that period.

Pete Whieldon ARPS – An Evening with ..
2015-10-01 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
First and foremost I am a photographer because I love the way photography helps connect me directly with nature and provides an opportunity to capture its wonders on camera. I am a passionate award winning wildlife photographer, a qualified dive instructor and proprietor of a garage business in Otterbourne Hampshire UK. I specialise in bird, macro and marine photography. My personal favourite subjects are kingfishers, raptors and especially owls.

Simon Weir Workshop, Thursday 24th September 2015

As part of his visit to CCC on the 24th September, infrared expert from North London, Simon Weir, is offering to run a free workshop during the afternoon for up to 12 members.

I would hope 12 members would be interested, if it turns out to be more, then names will be drawn out of a hat.

Itinerary :
2.00pm Meet up at Tangmere Hall
2.00-5.30pm Practical outdoor workshop in / near Chichester
Weather is always a risk, but if it’s too terrible then retiring to a local café to talk Infrared is an option.

5.30pm Dinner for Simon and his CCC host, Janey Devine (Carluccio’s or
similar) plus any other workshop participants (at their own cost).

7.30pm Talk to CCC members. First half instructive, second half I/R prints

Administration
I’ve seen this talk at Southampton, which is why I invited him back to Chichester, but we will be in Vienna on 24th September. Janey Devine – who showed some interesting I/R work at North Mundham a few years back – has kindly agreed to be the coordinator on the day.

There is no actual charge for the workshop, but if you have enjoyed the afternoon and want to make our Treasurer smile, you could always make a nominal payment (£5-£10) to David. This will help to reduce the overall cost of Simon’s visit. This is strictly an option, don’t feel obliged and if it rains all afternoon then it certainly would not be expected.

Equipment
Simon recommends that if you don’t have an I/R filter then it will improve your results if you get a Cokin I/R filter from Sussex Cameras / Jessops or similar. Don’t spend a fortune on Lee / B&W unless you think I/R will be your thing.

Everyone is invited to bring printed images, ANY SIZE or TYPE from HOLIDAY SNAPS to SERIOUS IMAGES (finished or in progress).
We will lay out one table to for each member to display their prints and give everyone time to circulate and look and discuss the images with their authors.
Depending of the number of participants and the room and limited tables we will probably need several rounds giving everyone time to see each others pictures.
Some of the most respected photographers of the club and the selection committee will be on hand to give comments.
