The RPS Group meets in the small hall on Tuesday 21st February to support those interested in working towards the Royal Photographic Society distinctions. Whether you are already some way to completing your portfolio or would like to simply find out more you’ll be very welcome.

We have a number of the group making good progress towards submitting for the LRPS – the Licentiate award, and a couple more with ideas about Associate submissions. At LRPS level, the award is about demonstrating good photographic understanding and camera technique with sound technical skills, while at the higher levels submissions are made to particular genres – such as landscape, documentary or visual art. The group is well supported with advice from those who already hold RPS distinctions, including at Fellowship level, and who have experience working with the RPS panels that make the assessments.

A key requirement for these awards is that the images (10 for L, 15 for A and 20/21 for F) work together as a panel – and that’s a really useful skill for Club exhibitions and for the forthcoming Print Panel Competition. So do join us to find out more!

We meet at 7.15pm for 7.30pm start and the cost is £3 for Club members and £4 for visitors.

This month we will continue to explore the 9 main reasons why photographs may not be sharp (apart from ICM!). We will particularly look at the effect of sensor size and depth of field, autofocus settings and shutter speed.
In addition, two members will introduce us to very different photographic enthusiasms, action photography and photo-courses leading to distinctions.
If you want to sort out settings, please bring your camera with you – as more experienced members will be on hand to help you in the break.

Ollie Taylor - "Dark Horizons" [Zoom Meeting]
2023-02-02 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Zoom presentation – No meeting at Tangmere: Following on from the talk that focused on a photographic journey from an era that was predominantly the start of landscape astrophotography, this talk is based on a recent, previously postponed 2-month self-drive journey. The Bolivian, Chilean and Peruvian Altiplano, an area considered a Mecca for landscape astrophotography, and renowned for having the best atmospheric conditions on the planet for astronomy. An adventure over some of the most remote landscapes in the world riddled with logistical problems, high altitude, sub-zero temperatures, low humidity and a complete lack of civilization and infrastructure. The presentation will show landscape, nightscape, astronomy images alongside behind the scenes images and video.

Initially advertised as a Zoom presentation, fortunately Leigh is now able to come to Tangmere. His talk covers Hugh’s journey through his 50 years in photography, including darkroom, infra-red, lith style prints. Leigh has added some work of his own ( both Leigh and Hugh visited the same locations, but on different occasions , and Leigh has some comparative images).

RPS Group
2023-01-17 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
The first RPS group meeting of 2023 is Tuesday 17th January. A number of the group are working on portfolios for submission to the Royal Photographic Licentiate distinction, and a couple thinking about projects for the further qualifications. Not all are at that stage yet, and if you’d simply like to find out more you are very welcome to join us to simply observe.

If you are thinking about working towards the distinctions and have some work for consideration, it doesn’t need to be mounted, indeed a good starting point is to being along a good number of prints – 20 or more – at A5 size to start with. It’s a good idea though to stick these to a pale card as this will keep the prints on the print stand more effectively, but it’s not critical to do so.

The group is well supported by members who have achieved RPS distinctions, and by Janey Devine, who is a member of the RPS Licentiate Panel and both the Documentary and Travel Panels, by John Bradshaw who has many years’ experience of the Contemporary Panel and is led by Lorna Brown who has just joined the Visual Arts Panel.

We meet in the Small Hall at TVC at 7.15pm for 7.30pm and the charge is £3 for Club Members and £4 for visitors who are also very welcome.

The RPS Group will meet on Tuesday 20th December to round off a rather successful year for group members with three licentiates gained. As usual you are welcome to drop in just to find out more, to bring along a mix of prints you think might work for a submission, your thinking about an Associate or Fellowship project, or work nearly ready to go. As well as celebrating the latest two LRPS successes last month (Jonathan Fiske and Richard Paterson) we saw some very interesting new work which it will be interesting to see further developed this month, so do join us.

As it’s close to Christmas there will be mince pies!

7.15pm for 7.30pm in the small hall at Tangmere, £3 for Club members, £4 for visitors

Photowalk - Staunton Country Park - All welcome
2022-12-10 13:00 - 16:00
Andy Bracey will be leading a Photowalk to encourage and experiment with ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) on Saturday 10th December Saunton Country Park just north of Havant.
We will meet in the Staunton Country Park Car Park, at 1pm. The postcode is PO9 5HD. Note that the entrance is directly off the B2149 (grid 50.876129, 0.973613 or ///ponies.copying.lamppost). This is NOT the same location as Staunton Farm.
All are welcome, including guests. As ICM images are becoming fashionable in the club (including our Chairman’s recent 10!), this is an ideal opportunity for those who wish to use the day as a practice session.
Andy Bracey has already sent a friendly how-to-do-ICM note to the Developers’ Group … if you have not got one, please email Andy. Andy and Paul will be on hand to help out, as will other members familiar with the genre. We will stay in the park until 4pm (the car cark closes at 4.30 pm).
Staunton Country park is not huge, it is in fact, perfect size. The car park backs onto a grassy park, full of perfect trees for ICM practice. Moving on there is what I can only describe as a Victorian brick built ‘veranda’. A place you could have a wedding whilst looking out over the lake below. As you might imagine, the walk carries on past and around the lake and back again. There are one or two wrinkles we might introduce by way of variation.
Do let Andy know that you hope to come along – if we have to cancel because of impossible weather, we need to be able to let you know so you do not have a wasted journey
It should be an excellent afternoon in like-minded company! See you there!

Developer’s Group
The next session the Developers’ Group is on Monday November 21 in the Small Hall at Tangemere at 7.15 for 7.30pm.
Our focus will be ‘understanding exposure in a fresh way’ – which should release creativity at all levels. We all know that photography is all about light, but working out how to get just the right amount of it for each situation can be a challenge – even for advanced photographers. So, we will be exploring how to make the most of the light we have, automatically and manually. Those who are starting out in photography might like to bring their camera, as there will also be time to get help with your settings from the more experienced people. Like last time, we will also be exploring why we like different pictures as some members present some of their great images for us to discuss, and tell the stories behind the photographs.

Regnum Print Shield Competition: Judge David Smith ARPS
2022-11-17 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Regnum Print Shield Competition – 17th November
Judge : David Smith ARPS, President of the SPA

Once again it is Chichester’s turn to host this Annual Print Competition.

The competing clubs are down to just five – Chichester, Henfield, Littlehampton, Southwick and Storrington – as Mid Sussex and Steyning have been unable to put a panel of eight prints together in time because of the pandemic.

The winning club gets to take home the Charles Howard Shield. Charles was a past member of Chichester Camera Club which was one of the founding members of the Regnum Crouch organisation back in the 1950’s.

Cost:

Entry is free for one representative of each of the four visiting clubs.

Additional visitors are welcome – for a visitor’s fee of £5 each – but please inform programme@chichestercameraclub.org.uk how many guests we should expect.

Payment may be made in cash but we do have facilities for cashless payment.
