My father introduced me to photography, and the darkroom, when I was about seven years old, and I’ve been producing pictures ever since.

I became actively involved in club photography in 1979, (as a member of Field End Photographic Society in Ruislip, Middlesex). I gained an Associateship of the RPS with traditional darkroom monochrome prints, and a Fellowship with digital colour prints. I serve on the RPS Fine Art Associateship and Fellowship assessment panel, and provide advice at RPS distinction workshops.

A busy national PAGB judge, and popular lecturer, I have visited more than 230 different camera clubs, and judged many regional, national and international exhibitions. (See the Judging & Lecturing page on this website).
I earnt a Distinction of the PAGB with colour transparencies, and was pleased to receive an APAGB award for my services to photography. I have also had success and gained awards in international exhibitions while working towards my AFIAP and subsequent EFIAP distinctions.

Now retired from working as an air traffic controller, I am a member of Amersham Photographic Society. Since 2005 I have occasionally supported Paul Foley FRPS with Spirit & Vision Landscape Photographic Workshops.

Hyacinth by Paula Davies
Luskentyre estuary by Guy Davies
“I describe myself as a “butterfly photographer” because I flit from subject to subject taking a photograph of anything that attracts me. I enjoy being out in the landscape pressing the shutter but I get particular satisfaction from seeking out abstract images in man-made and natural objects that look like landscapes. My FRPS panel was a good example of this.”
quote Paula Davies
Guy likes to apply the darkroom approach to bringing out the best in an image by selectively adjusting contrast. He particularly enjoys a monochrome picture and generally tends towards the dramatic approach but is occasionally tempted into trying the delicate/high key technique.

Guy started in photography as a boy in 1946, and was soon developing and printing my own films, he really did not get serious until 1989 when I joined a camera club. In 2002 he was awarded the Licentiateship of the Royal Photographic Society. In January 2005 he joined the Photographic Society of America, which also offers recognition for acceptances in international exhibitions.
In 2009, I was awarded the AFIAP distinction and later in the year the PPSA distinction of the Photographic Society of America. He was also very pleased to achieve the Associateship of the Royal Photographic Society with a panel of prints showing details of sandstone rocks.
His preference is for landscapes but he also loves waterfalls and seascapes. To see more of Guys work see http://www.gdpix.co.uk/

Paulas main interest is the intimate landscape. All of her pictures started as photographs, either from colour transparencies, black & white negatives or digitally captured. She has been using digital cameras exclusively since 2003 and Adobe Photoshop or Corel Painter IX are her chosen tools on the computer. Paula has achieved an ARPS in June 2006 and a FRPS in May 2007, Her work can be viewed at http://www.pixelfoto.co.uk/

This month’s Print Group is Perfectly Positioned for Panels. With the Spring Exhibition at the end of March and the Print Panel Competition itself on the 4th April, this is a timely opportunity to look at how images work well together through some of the principles behind panelling – which in its simplest means how best to put a group of images together.
This includes thinking about using images with a similar tonal range, concepts such as central images and ‘bookends’ and telling visual stories. We can also touch on the dark arts of making hanging plans.
As always you can bring along work in progress, final ideas to share with others or just come along to meet others and join in the discussions.
Tuesday 12th March in the small hall at Tangmere at for a 7.30pm start. Visitors also very welcome, at a fee of £4, with £3 for Club Members.

February’s Print Group on Tuesday 12th will look in particular at some of the many different photo papers available and the impact these can have on the finished print. If you can, do bring along work on different papers, but as always, any work you would like to share will be very welcome.
The Print Group is an friendly, informal gathering where we share work in progress, share views tips and techniques. Bring along prints you like, those that you would like suggestions for or indeed that you are considering for competitions.
Work doesn’t need to be mounted, but tacking prints to supporting card will be helpful. All welcome!

Has been taking photographs for many years. Travel and modern architecture are my main strengths

Chair's Evening - Personal reflections Mike Hancock
2019-01-31 19:30 - 21:30
The Chair’s Evening will comprise 2 parts. In the first half Mike will give a presentation on some of the people and places he has encountered in his photography, reflecting a very personal approach to what he is seeking to achieve and the enjoyment that has produced.
Geographically, the images will cover several continents and cover some of the moments ‘that took the breath away’. Inevitably sport will also feature, covering both the challenges of trying to get good images and the sheer enjoyment of being there at major sporting occasions.
The second half, by way of complete contrast, will be a presentation by one of this year’s new members, Alan Frost.
He is a long standing member of Havant Camera Club, recently having gained an ARPS qualification for his beautifully composed and sensitively produced Black and White images. Alan comes to Chichester with the aim of developing yet further his already considerable photographic expertise.
The emphasis will be on having a fun evening and I hope including something for everyone’

18th North Mundham Exhibition

18th North Mundham Exhibition
You are cordially invited to Chichester Camera Club’s eighteenth advanced members’ exhibition to be held on Saturday, 19th January 2019 at the North Mundham Village Hall. The exhibition will be open between 10 am and 5 pm with refreshments, light lunches and teas available throughout the day. If anyone cannot make it on the Saturday, we will be open on the following day (Sunday) between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. We will also have refreshments available on that day.

Print exhibitors have had the choice of varying screen spaces with the freedom to display virtually any type of work they wish with no rules on size, subject matter technique, etc. whilst PDI workers are each allowed to have up to 4 images projected, again with no subject ruling. Based on our previous, similar exhibitions, this freedom of choice has resulted in a considerable display of artistic talent. The day has also proved to be a great social occasion.
We hope you will be able to visit us and look forward to meeting you on the 19th January.

Print Group Tuesday 8th January
2019-01-08 19:30 - 21:30
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.
