Christmas Social
2024-12-12 19:00 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Our Christmas Bash.
Our Christmas Bash is one of our few evenings given over entirely to socialising.
We all think we can judge, so this year the first half of the evening will take the form of a print competition. Members can submit one mounted print that will be displayed on our print stands. All members present on the evening will vote for they favourite print, placing them in first, second and third place. This means that members will be able to socialise for the first half of the evening too, while viewing the prints and discussing the merits of each.
As its Christmas the competition will have a theme and the title for the evening is ‘My Favourite Gift’. This can be interpreted however people like!!
The second half of the evening will be nibbles, mince pies and chat.
Please arrive from 7pm to help get everything set up for 7:30pm.

RPS Group
2025-01-21 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
The RPS Group meets for the first time in 2025 on Tuesday 21st January, offering opportunities to find out more about the distinctions offered by the Royal Photographic Society. The Club has a considerable number of members with these awards, including seven at Fellowship level, the majority of whom have benefitted from the support of the group over the years.

The entry level award – the Licentiate – offers a really sound photographic development route, even without the award itself. It requires a submission of 10 images that demonstrate a good awareness of photographic and processing understanding and it set against clearly defined criteria.

Come along to find out more, we start at 7.15pm for 7.30pm and now meet in the large hall rather than the small hall we’ve previously used. The charge is £3 for members and £5 for visitors.

Graham Devenish
2025-01-23 19:00 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
‘Keep Looking up’:

A journey into the Rabbit Hole that is Astrophotography, looking at some well known sights in the sky, as well as giving hints and tips on how to get started.
Since the age of 7, Graham was wanted to take part in Astronomy, and more specifically to photograph the Night Skies. 6 Years ago, after moving from light-polluted Hove to the outskirts of Worthing he’s finally been able to look at and shoot the night skies. This talk is an introduction to Astro Photography throughout the seasons, with helpful hints and tips should people be tempted. I also hope to have some equipment with me and will attempt to explain what everything does!

Developer’s Group
The next Developers’ Group meeting of Chichester Camera Club is this coming Monday, 27 January at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15 for 7.30pm prompt start.
Please send in your images to share at the meeting! They are already starting to arrive. The photo-challenge over December was ‘Photograph the light’. Perhaps you have made an image of the many festive lights, or night time shots around the streets. Anyway, but really do we want to see your best recent images of whatever subject or genre. It is a good idea to try out your images at the Developers’ Group before you put them into competitions … whatever you show to us is not counted as an ‘official Club entry’!
Please send 3 JPG images by WeTransfer (to developers@chichestercameraclub.org.uk) – it gets round the problem that some of the email services degrade the image quality. Please send them by this Saturday 18 January.
Next Monday, our magazine programme will also include: ‘How to re-think exposure and settings’, ‘Seeing and handling light’ through the eyes of another classic painter, and important recommendations for improving your cameracraft. After the break, Andy Bracey will give us an illustrated tour “From where I was and how I got to where I am”. His presentation will be fascinating, and we will be able to identify with his photographic journey – picking up a load of great hints and tips along the way!
It will be another evening packed with ideas and tips for photographers at all stages. Do bring a handy notebook/device to jot down the things that grab your attention.
We very much look forward to receiving your images no later than midnight this Saturday, and seeing you next Monday, 27 January; and please remember the £3 cash to help us pay for the hire of the hall (if you are bringing a non-member then it is £5 for them).

Breathless in Nepal
In April 2022, Julian made the journey into Nepal taking in some of the festivities around the New Year. But the main purpose of his trip was to go to Upper Mustang. An autonomous region up at the Chinese border, going to Upper Mustang is like stepping back in time. It also comes with complexities too which just adds to the experience. This talk will talk you through the ins and outs of this epic journey into a little visited area of Nepal. https://www.julianelliottphotography.com/

The next Developers’ Group meeting is this coming Monday, 17 February, at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15 for 7.30pm prompt start. Although only half of the car park is available, there is plenty of kerbside space on the road outside the venue.
It is now time to send in your images to share at next week’s meeting! They are already starting to arrive. The photo-challenge over January was ‘Shoot from a low viewpoint’. Despite the miserable weather, we hope that some have experimented. Anyway, we really do we want to see your best images of whatever subject or genre. As you know, those who try out their images at the Developers’ Group, before putting them into competitions and exhibitions, often do quite well!
Please send 3 JPG images by WeTransfer (to developers@chichestercameraclub.org.uk) by this Saturday 15 February.

Next Monday, our magazine programme will also include: understanding aperture with its f/numbers and significance for depth of field, key questions for good composition, filters and how to use them … along with another classic painter (clue: misty landscapes with perspective).
And we will explain how to enter and present photographs for the Spring Exhibition on 5/6 April this year (this will be really important for all Club and Intermediate workers),
We very much look forward to receiving your images no later than midnight this Saturday 15 February, and seeing you next Monday, 17 February. Please remember the £3 cash to help us pay for the hire of the hall (if you are bringing a non-member then it is £5 for them).

The Epsom Camera Club Invitation Challenge (via ZOOM)
2025-02-17 20:00 - 22:00 | Zoom Online Club Meeting
The Epsom Camera Club Invitation Challenge is an inter-club competition that has been running for many years between Epsom CC and four other invited clubs. This used to be a print and PDI competition held at the Epsom CC venue but since Covid it has become PDI-only, taking place over Zoom.
This year we have been invited to take part along with the following three clubs:

Richmond & Twickenham Photographic Society
Bookham Camera Club
Beckenham Photographic Society

The judge for the evening will be Sue Wilson DPAGB BPE3*.
The winners will be invited back next year unless Epsom win, in which case the second-placed club will be invited back.
The competition requires ten PDIs from each club and your Selection Committee have selected PDIs from ten different photographers as our entry.
You are all invited to log in and watch the judging of the competition on the night. If you’re interested please contact me at selection@chichestercameraclub.org.uk and I’ll send you the link as the organisers have asked us not to publish it on the website.
