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.

Peter’s entry in last year’s competition has since been printed and Peter says that the book shop on Hayling Island is displaying and selling the book. (Address: The Hayling Island Bookshop, 34 Mengham Rd, Hayling Island PO11 9BL).

Peter’s book also featured in an article in the Hayling Herald (see images below – click on them to make the larger and easier to read) .

The title of the book is : Coronavirus 2020: The First Lockdown. My Experience! You can view it here with all the other entries

Peter also received a letter from Alan Mac MP for Havant, which shows the local interest in the book. Of the 100 copies printed and more than half have sold.

This month Pete Bamforth is going to show us how he produces his wonderful large images. This promises to be a great evening with a great deal of excellent advice so please do join us on Zoom on the link below.
I have also had one suggestion for a talk on converting an image to Black and White but need other thoughts for the future – this group works best with your ideas. We are very lucky in the club to have a great many members who are only too willing to offer advice if asked so suggestions please!

For those of us who have just purchased Topaz DeNoise and Sharpen AI Jeff has agreed to have a look at them and particularly using masks within them.
I keep also hoping that some of you will bring along (or send) images that you have got stuck with what to do or how to do it in Lightroom – maybe from this week’s Print Group.

Slawek Staszczuk: Landscape - from idea to post-production
2022-01-20 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Slawek is a freelance photographer specialising in landscape, travel and architecture. Born and raised in Gdynia, on the Baltic coast of Poland, he moved to Brighton in 2007. The countryside around the city proved very inspiring and led him to develop his, then novel and since often imitated, style of photographing the South Downs with telephoto lenses. Subsequently 10 of his local images were commended in 3 consecutive editions of Take-a-View Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition between 2009 and 2011. His photos have been published in numerous magazines, travel guides, calendars, brochures, used on websites and in advertisements, both in the UK and abroad.

Colleen Slater is a creative, macro photography specialist with an interest in the smaller things in life, whether insects – beetles, spiders, butterflies, moths and ladybirds or flowers, her evocative, atmospheric and intimate images draw attention to the ordinary, often unnoticed things in the everyday world. Her latest images reveal close up details found in the urban environment.

Development Group Photowalk - Portsmouth Hard
2021-11-28 15:15 - 18:00
============= open to all club members ==================
====== let me know you are coming in case of cancellation ======
This is the Night Photography walk. Portsmouth Hard is an ideal location for Night Photography – there are several good subjects all easily within 100 metres of the Hard: The Spinnaker Tower, HMS Warrior and not least the new Bus Terminal.
Sunset is at 4.05pm, so meet at 3.15pm outside Portsmouth Harbour train station.
From 3.30pm we will be shooting the immediate location in dying light from 3.30 to 4.20, watching exposure times grow from a second or so to 30 seconds . After 4.20 it will be very dark, with almost all light being artificial and coming from the three subjects. Thats when true night photography comes into its own.
I will have covered the techy bits of night photography in the Tangmere Session on the 15th November – but dont panic, if you are new to such things it is surprisingly easy and demands no particularly special kit. Just bring a camera with a standard lens (18-55mm on crop sensor) and a tripod. A tripod is essential of course. If you have a wide angle lens (10-20mm on crop sensor) then do bring it, it will come in very useful especially for the bus station.
Apart from that, dress for the weather and the temperatures. By late November you will be pleased you brought a wooly hat and maybe even gloves.
The postcode for the Hard is PO1 3EB, but its pretty much academic. Travelling from the west its a ferry ride across the harbour – the ferry docks 50 metres from the Hard. Otherwise you can travel by car, in which parking can be found online at justpark or parkopedia, but an obvious choice for most is to travel by train from Chichester to Portsmouth Harbour. A direct train leaves Chichester at 1429, arrives at 1503 and costs £9.30 return. The meet point is just outside the station and direct trains leave pretty much every half hour from 1805 onwards.
It does help if you let me know if you are coming; events may well be cancelled at last minute and if heavy rain is forecast. I cant warn you of a cancellation if I dont know you are coming along …….
As always, I’m on 07974 173345 and andy_bracey@hotmail.com.
See you there!
Andy 🙂

Tim Flach : How to Evoke Empathy Through Animal Portraiture
2021-11-18 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
www.timflach.com

THERE ARE NO MEETINGS AT TANGMERE FROM SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER 2021.
Tim Flach will be discussing his body of work, particularly in context of what depictions of animals can most powerfully connect us with them and evoke empathy, thereby lead to possible conservation actions. He has always been fascinated why certain images have emerged and what they have in common. He’s going to explore perceptual theories around luminance and colour, left gaze bias, and composition.

Lightroom zoom workshop
2021-11-18 09:30 - 23:00 | Zoom Online Club Meeting
I thought it would be useful to look at the latest Lightroom update where they have vastly improved the mask tools. There are various videos on Youtube which are well worth looking at beforehand – I followed Dave Abbott’s suggestion of “Photoshop Cafe”.
If you would like any comment / help with any of you images either send the file to me at digitalgroup@chichestercameraclub.org.uk by Wednesday or be prepared to share your screen in Lightroom.

RPS Group
2021-11-16 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
We meet again on Tuesday 16th November – and again at Tangmere Village centre in the small hall. We’ll be able to see Nick Hepworth’s very recent successful L Panel, along with Tony Baverstock’s successful A panel.

I signed in to observe the RPS Licentiate assessments this week and will be able to report back. It’s very clear that the criteria for success are being equitably applied – variety of images, a range of techniques, visual understanding and a cohesive set of images – while the reasons panels are not successful are also very clear. These are as ever technical faults (over sharpening, overblown highlights, poor print quality for instance) coupled with repetition (or lack of variety) and panel collections that don’t sit well together. Come along and find out more and bring work for discussion if you are ready or simply join us to explore if the RPS distinctions are for you.

7.15pm for a 7.30pm start – £3 for Club members. We regret we are not able to offer the RPS Group to non-members for now.

The featured image is from Nick Hepworth’s successful L Panel

Do also bring along you own prints for review.

Development Group Photowalk - West Wittering
2021-11-06 14:00 - 18:00
===========Open to the entire Club ============
===== do let me know you are coming in case of cancellation ====
This is the Seascape photowalk we all asked for. Originally the location was to be Hayling Island, but tides this year are very poor. The combination of tides and sunset makes it too unsafe for the Winner Bank at Hayling. So West Wittering it is.
Meet in the very end of the car park at West Wittering at 1400. Sunset is at 1630, Low Water at 1720.
Maybe over two hours is a bit of overkill but it allows us to check out the groynes and the pools left by the receding tide and plan compositions. There is even time for a wander around the East Head dunes if you wish. Its a 0.2m low so, whilst a very low tide, low water is an hour or so after sunset. Nevertheless there will be plenty of opportunities to use the West Wittering groynes and sand patterns whilst the setting sun illuminates the sky – I hope ……. !
The postcode for the entrance to the West Wittering estate is PO20 8AJ. That gets you into Pound Road, as soon as you are in it look for the left hand turn which takes you into the estate. Dont be surprised if the road through the estate feels too long – it is. Long that is. Get to the bit where you pay and then keep going until you can go no further. Thats the westernmost part of the car park. Park up and look for me.
Now West Wittering Estate isnt particularly well organised – during covid they resorted to using a london based parking company to organise payments. They are proposing to carry that on (but Ive recently been there on spec – the image above is recent – and there was no problem getting in …. and they seem unsure about things anyhow). SO I can only advise you to go to Just Park and pay at least the day before. Here’s the link
https://www.justpark.com/
So not exactly as easy as turn up and pay but its not particularly onerous. Just annoying.
Kit? Well, bring camera kit, tripod, hat, an extra layer of clothing AND WELLIES. Beaches in November are not friendly environments. If you are cold and/or wet it will be a miserable experience. But with the right clothing you can settle into focussing on your images.
It does help if you let me know if you are coming; events may well be cancelled at last minute and if heavy rain is forecast. I cant warn you of a cancellation if I dont know you are coming along …….
As always, I’m on 07974 173345 and andy_bracey@hotmail.com.
See you there!
Andy 🙂
