Print Group
2019-11-12 19:30 - 21:30
We had another very lively Print Group meeting in October and it is especially encouraging that so many of our newer members are coming along and starting to share their work.
Our discussions turned to the use of good quality printing paper and with this in mind our November meeting will look in particular at the ranges of papers, the pros and cons of lustre, glossy and matt, matching images to paper types and some of the different manufacturers.
If you’d like to just come along and find out more, it isn’t obligatory to bring images, but if you would like to, do bring your images, work in progress or finished work as always. And if you use different types of paper you’d like to show, that would be particularly helpful, but not necessary – any photographs you’d like to share, discuss and get advice on will be welcome.

Paul Davison ARPS DPAGB: Shipbreaking. Whale Hunters of Lamalera & a Slice of Paradise
2019-10-31 19:30 - 21:30
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.
I was awarded an Associateship with the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS) in 2009 for a set of images taken in India. This kick started my emerging path in life and I now regularly undertake photographic commissions for a variety of clients. This in turn has led to the sale of images to multinational corporations and images being selected for use in global seminars. In 2013 I was awarded a Distinction with the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (DPAGB) for a portfolio of 15 images taken over the last few years.

1st Club/Intermed PDI Comp: Judge Caroline Colegate

In 2002 she became a judge for the Southern Counties Photographic Federation (SCPF) and additionally has made a significant contribution to photography throughout the region with her activities in judging, lecturing and raising the profile of camera clubs to a wider audience. Caroline is a member of the SCPF Judging Committee and is involved with the vetting and assessing of applications from potential new judges. She was awarded a Roll of Honour from the SCPF in 2013.

RPS Group
2019-10-15 19:30 - 21:30
The RPS Group welcomes all those who are interested in finding out more and working towards the distinctions offered by the Royal Photographic Society. We meet for our second session this season on Tuesday 15th October when we will be looking at some recent LRPS (Licentiate) and ARPS (Associate) awards and the underlying principles of making panels (that is a cohesive group pf images) at those levels.
You are welcome to simply come along to find out more, and when you are ready, to bring along a good wide selection of your photographs. These do not need to be full size (A5 or so is fine), but do please tack them onto some card as this helps keep them upright on the print stands we use.
Other members of the group are already well on their way to completed panels and our discussions of those will demonstrate further how to go about applying for these highly regarded distinctions.
You don’t need to be a member of Chichester Camera Club to join this (or indeed any of our Special Interest Groups).

Print Group
2019-10-08 19:30 - 21:30
Print Group got of to a great start last month with a good number of brave new members ready to show work, and very interesting work it was too with much diversity.
We meet again on Tuesday 8th October at 715 for a 7.30pm start in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre, at £3 for members.
As always, the group welcomes photographers at all levels of experience and you can bring along work at various stages to share. It can be finished work you’d like to show, work in progress or that tricky image that you’d like advice on. You might like to use the group to help you deiced which images to put in for competitions, and later in the year to think about exhibition prints.
You are also welcome to just come along to see what the group is about and there’s no need to bring work if you don’t feel ready to.
There’s no need to mount work – but if you attach prints (which can be just A5 approximate size) to card they will sit better on the prints stands.
I look forward to seeing you then.

Ross McKelvey MPAGB FIPF EFIAP/G FBPE – Awarded over 300 Medals in National & International Exhibitions since 2010. President and founder of Catchlight Camera Club, Belfast.

Exhibition Photography has been my passion for several years. Since joining a local camera club in approximately 1999, photography has become a real passion for me, and I regularly compete in National and International Photographic Salons – mostly in Print sections. My most successful genre is probably portraiture, but I enjoy everything from landscape to sport, Nature, Still Life and digital composites.

What is the difference between a marvellous photograph and a photograph of something marvellous? Perhaps that seminal work “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” can help us out.
