Print Group Tuesday 8th January
2019-01-08 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
I fear you really can’t get the staff for the Print Group just now as I’ll be AWOL again this month. In my defence though, last month was indeed simply pleasure, this time it’s a grandparenting duty call and John Howes has kindly agreed to step into the breech so the group will meet as usual at 7.30pm in the small hall, £3 for members and £4 for visitors.
If you haven’t tried the group yet do come along – it’s an ideal friendly place to simply talk abut our prints, share tips, techniques and ideas. Bring along any prints you’d like to show, work in progress, perhaps those you’d like advice on or those you simply want to share. They don’t need to be mounted but for purely practical purposes, it is best if you do back them with card so they will stay upright on the print stands and the bottom edge will clear the trim.
In February we will be looking particularly at different print papers – and with a Lightroom Print process session on the 22nd January, two complimentary sessions that will fit very nicely together.

Our December Print Group will be a ‘self-help’ affair as a rather lovely hotel has made me a pre-Christmas offer it would have been rude to refuse and so I won’t be with you. Dave Abbott has kindly agreed to look after the evening in by absence – thank you Dave!
We had a bit of a topic in October, comparing images of water and the shutter speeds needed to achieve various different end results – whether that was tranquil still effects or fast ‘freezing’ of swift flowing streams. In doing so, we visited Scotland, Wales, England and France!
November will revert to any images of any subject that you’d like to bring along to discuss. For any members who haven’t yet tried Print Group, you can bring work in any stage of development – a first rough print through to finished and mounted images. It is best to bring prints simply stuck onto a piece of card as this will help keep them upright on the print stands, and ensure the bottom of the print doesn’t disappear below the print stand edge.
While the Print Group offers a chance to share and learn new skills and talk about images you might want to enter into competitions, at heart it is simply an opportunity to just chat about photographs with like-minded folk.
You can come along without bringing any prints – the only caveat is that if everyone does that we have nothing to talk about, so if you can, please do bring prints to share.
We meet on the second Tuesday of the month in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.30pm with a charge of £3 for Club Members and £4 for visitors.

I am very lucky to live in the New Forest, a beautiful area for photography. I have been a member of Southampton Camera Club for six years and two of those as their President and I have now been the Chairman of Southampton International Exhibition for over two years. I have also joined New Forest Camera Club as it seems I just can’t get enough! I have gained my ARPS, EFIAP, DPAGB and BPE2* Distinctions in that time.

The Experience of Creating Images – Vanda Ralevska FRPS
My name is Vanda Ralevska and I am a photographer based in London. I am passionate about capturing the world we live in, always searching for those fleeting moments of magic that transform it into something extraordinary.
I find inspiration in the sea and its infinite power and uncontrollable energy, in quieter scenes and intimate details that abound in nature. In my images I strive to reflect the atmosphere, feeling, and sheer wonderment that our natural world can evoke within us. For me photography is more than just a recording of where I have been. It is about encompassing the whole experience of being in the outdoors, and trying to capture that one special moment that leaves a lasting impression on us.
My images and articles have been published in magazines, exhibited in the UK and abroad and have received awards in international competitions.
I am a member of Arena Photographers – a collective based in the south of England, World Women Art – an international group of women artists, and Échiquier – an international collective of photographers.
I am a Brand Ambassador for KASE Filters UK, manufacturers of high-quality photography filters.

Print Group
2018-11-13 19:30 - 21:30
We had a really lively Print Group in October, with two members bravely showing work for the first time – and very good work it was too!
We meet again on Tuesday 13th November, and this month we will be considering in particular composition and images of water. You may of course – as always – bring along work in progress or work you would simply like to share of any sort, but particularly welcome will be images you feel demonstrate those rules of composition, or indeed that successfully break those rules.
Also – at our last meeting we discussed the speeds required to freeze water or conversely, to create those soft or even milky images of moving water. If you have examples and the camera speeds you used do bring those along. About 8 images and backed with card (to help them stay on the stands) is suggested to ensure time for everyone.
Members who would just like to come along without showing work are also welcome – come along to get a feel for the group to see if it’s for you. We meet at 7.30pm in the small hall at Tangmere, with a cost of £3 for members and £4 for visitors.

I am passionate about landscape photography. I love being outside surrounded by the beauty of the world we live in. It never ceases to amaze me, as I watch the storm clouds blow in over the coast, listen to the waves crashing against the rocky shores or watch sunlight stream through trees on a foggy morning, how blessed and lucky we are to have such beauty on our doorsteps.
Recently my work has been recognised by Fujifilm, who inaugurated me into their exclusive X Series photographers . In addition to this honour I have been awarded Gold medals by the SWPP for my fine art and black and white images.

1st Club/Int PDI Competition – Leo Rich HonPAGB EFIAP/g

He joined his first camera club in the 1970’s and began entering National and International Exhibitions shortly afterwards with reasonable success over the years.

Changing from film to digital was a long process as he endeavours to emulate the success he had with slides by trying to “get it right in the camera” rather than in post computer manipulation. He likes to photograph anything that takes his fancy but has veered towards “people” pictures and natural history following his many travels, particularly in India. He is heavily involved in the administration side of UK photography and has been President of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain which has approximately 1,000 camera clubs affiliated with an estimated 40,000 members. He is in demand for both his judging, both in UK and abroad, and also his humorous talks based on his travels.

Self-portrait
The world is full of experts on photography. Some have a faint knowledge of the craft; most merely know what they like, until shown something else.
Being a successful photographer or even just being good at talking about it is not the same as making a living from it.
Listen to Andrew carefully; he knows what he’s talking about.”

Portrait Group Meeting with opportunity to photograph with studio lights
2018-10-10 19:30 - 21:30
Introduction meeting for the portrait group to see what the group does and actually take some photographs using studio lights.
The Portrait Group invites all interested members to a meeting where we will set up studio lights and backdrop so all those interested will have the opportunity to take some photographs and learn some basics about Studio Photography.
We can usually resolve any problems connecting to the lights by slave flash or flash trigger that we will bring along.
We will also summarise the dates for shoots for the season and are open to any suggestions to include in the program.

2018-10-09 19:30 - 21:30
The Print Group got of to a very lively start this season at our meeting in September and we were pleased to welcome new Club members. Other than one brave soul our new members didn’t bring work this time, which is fine, but they are promising to do so in October. Later in the season we will have meetings that look at specifics of the printed images, but October will be a general meeting to simply share our images – perhaps with an eye on the forthcoming first print competitions this season.
The group is an ideal way to share your enjoyment in photography It’s all about the end product so we cover composition, cropping, content and also look at the ways different papers will affect the finished picture. You’ll pick up lots of tips too, on camera technique and post proccessing.
Just bring along your favourite images to share, or perhaps work in progress. If you’d like to different ideas about images that just aren’t coming together as you’d like, the Print Group is an ideal place for you. You’ll also be very welcome to just come along to find out more about the group without bringing work to show.
The group is open to all photographers, whether new or advanced, and is an easy way in to learn about critique and chat to other Club members about work.
We meet on the second Tuesday of the month in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre, at 7.30pm. There’s a charge of £3 for Club members and £4 for visitors.
