Colleen Slater Macro Photography – Out of the Ordinary
2021-12-02 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
THERE ARE NO MEETINGS AT TANGMERE FROM SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER 2021.
Colleen Slater is a creative, macro photography specialist with an interest in the smaller things in life, whether insects – beetles, spiders, butterflies, moths and ladybirds or flowers, her evocative, atmospheric and intimate images draw attention to the ordinary, often unnoticed things in the everyday world.

Development Group Photowalk - Portsmouth Hard
2021-11-28 15:15 - 18:00
============= open to all club members ==================
====== let me know you are coming in case of cancellation ======
This is the Night Photography walk. Portsmouth Hard is an ideal location for Night Photography – there are several good subjects all easily within 100 metres of the Hard: The Spinnaker Tower, HMS Warrior and not least the new Bus Terminal.
Sunset is at 4.05pm, so meet at 3.15pm outside Portsmouth Harbour train station.
From 3.30pm we will be shooting the immediate location in dying light from 3.30 to 4.20, watching exposure times grow from a second or so to 30 seconds . After 4.20 it will be very dark, with almost all light being artificial and coming from the three subjects. Thats when true night photography comes into its own.
I will have covered the techy bits of night photography in the Tangmere Session on the 15th November – but dont panic, if you are new to such things it is surprisingly easy and demands no particularly special kit. Just bring a camera with a standard lens (18-55mm on crop sensor) and a tripod. A tripod is essential of course. If you have a wide angle lens (10-20mm on crop sensor) then do bring it, it will come in very useful especially for the bus station.
Apart from that, dress for the weather and the temperatures. By late November you will be pleased you brought a wooly hat and maybe even gloves.
The postcode for the Hard is PO1 3EB, but its pretty much academic. Travelling from the west its a ferry ride across the harbour – the ferry docks 50 metres from the Hard. Otherwise you can travel by car, in which parking can be found online at justpark or parkopedia, but an obvious choice for most is to travel by train from Chichester to Portsmouth Harbour. A direct train leaves Chichester at 1429, arrives at 1503 and costs £9.30 return. The meet point is just outside the station and direct trains leave pretty much every half hour from 1805 onwards.
It does help if you let me know if you are coming; events may well be cancelled at last minute and if heavy rain is forecast. I cant warn you of a cancellation if I dont know you are coming along …….
As always, I’m on 07974 173345 and andy_bracey@hotmail.com.
See you there!
Andy 🙂

Tim Flach : How to Evoke Empathy Through Animal Portraiture
2021-11-18 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
www.timflach.com

THERE ARE NO MEETINGS AT TANGMERE FROM SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER 2021.
Tim Flach will be discussing his body of work, particularly in context of what depictions of animals can most powerfully connect us with them and evoke empathy, thereby lead to possible conservation actions. He has always been fascinated why certain images have emerged and what they have in common. He’s going to explore perceptual theories around luminance and colour, left gaze bias, and composition.

Lightroom zoom workshop
2021-11-18 09:30 - 23:00 | Zoom Online Club Meeting
I thought it would be useful to look at the latest Lightroom update where they have vastly improved the mask tools. There are various videos on Youtube which are well worth looking at beforehand – I followed Dave Abbott’s suggestion of “Photoshop Cafe”.
If you would like any comment / help with any of you images either send the file to me at digitalgroup@chichestercameraclub.org.uk by Wednesday or be prepared to share your screen in Lightroom.

RPS Group
2021-11-16 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
We meet again on Tuesday 16th November – and again at Tangmere Village centre in the small hall. We’ll be able to see Nick Hepworth’s very recent successful L Panel, along with Tony Baverstock’s successful A panel.

I signed in to observe the RPS Licentiate assessments this week and will be able to report back. It’s very clear that the criteria for success are being equitably applied – variety of images, a range of techniques, visual understanding and a cohesive set of images – while the reasons panels are not successful are also very clear. These are as ever technical faults (over sharpening, overblown highlights, poor print quality for instance) coupled with repetition (or lack of variety) and panel collections that don’t sit well together. Come along and find out more and bring work for discussion if you are ready or simply join us to explore if the RPS distinctions are for you.

7.15pm for a 7.30pm start – £3 for Club members. We regret we are not able to offer the RPS Group to non-members for now.

The featured image is from Nick Hepworth’s successful L Panel

At this month’s Print Group Lorna Brown will be showing how various papers can make a fundamental difference to the effect and look of an image. Allied to this the choice of mount to set off the image is also crucial.
Do also bring along you own prints for review.
As usual we will meet in the small hall at Tangmere.

Development Group Photowalk - West Wittering
2021-11-06 14:00 - 18:00
===========Open to the entire Club ============
===== do let me know you are coming in case of cancellation ====
This is the Seascape photowalk we all asked for. Originally the location was to be Hayling Island, but tides this year are very poor. The combination of tides and sunset makes it too unsafe for the Winner Bank at Hayling. So West Wittering it is.
Meet in the very end of the car park at West Wittering at 1400. Sunset is at 1630, Low Water at 1720.
Maybe over two hours is a bit of overkill but it allows us to check out the groynes and the pools left by the receding tide and plan compositions. There is even time for a wander around the East Head dunes if you wish. Its a 0.2m low so, whilst a very low tide, low water is an hour or so after sunset. Nevertheless there will be plenty of opportunities to use the West Wittering groynes and sand patterns whilst the setting sun illuminates the sky – I hope ……. !
The postcode for the entrance to the West Wittering estate is PO20 8AJ. That gets you into Pound Road, as soon as you are in it look for the left hand turn which takes you into the estate. Dont be surprised if the road through the estate feels too long – it is. Long that is. Get to the bit where you pay and then keep going until you can go no further. Thats the westernmost part of the car park. Park up and look for me.
Now West Wittering Estate isnt particularly well organised – during covid they resorted to using a london based parking company to organise payments. They are proposing to carry that on (but Ive recently been there on spec – the image above is recent – and there was no problem getting in …. and they seem unsure about things anyhow). SO I can only advise you to go to Just Park and pay at least the day before. Here’s the link
https://www.justpark.com/
So not exactly as easy as turn up and pay but its not particularly onerous. Just annoying.
Kit? Well, bring camera kit, tripod, hat, an extra layer of clothing AND WELLIES. Beaches in November are not friendly environments. If you are cold and/or wet it will be a miserable experience. But with the right clothing you can settle into focussing on your images.
It does help if you let me know if you are coming; events may well be cancelled at last minute and if heavy rain is forecast. I cant warn you of a cancellation if I dont know you are coming along …….
As always, I’m on 07974 173345 and andy_bracey@hotmail.com.
See you there!
Andy 🙂

I enjoy all forms of photography and have a wide range of photographic interests. I have traveled to 65 countries so the last 18 months has greatly slowed me down due to covid but have started planning trips again. I have become very interested in Drone photography over the last few years as it lets me take different images of often photographed places. I have been judging for many years and am involved in training and developing judges for SPA. As a judge I look for creativity, originality and a different perspective on the world so greatly looking forward to my first visit to Chichester.

ZOOM PRESENTATION Further details to follow

THERE ARE NO MEETINGS AT TANGMERE FROM SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER 2021.
They say a photographer is either a picture taker or a picture maker and I am firmly in the picture makers’ club. While fully appreciating the “what you see is what you get” approach, I am much more interested in chasing an ever-elusive image that appears in my mind’s eye, an image that conveys my feelings and emotions, rather than remains a mere statement of fact. My favourite photography subjects are: flowers, still life, and also capturing my impressions when travelling.
Flowers and still life are my favourite photography subjects. Still life in particular is perfect for a perfectionist like me – no one fidgets or makes faces, no sudden gust of wind or some other quirk of ever-changing weather can spoil your shot. But, by the same token, you cannot count on something interesting that just happens all of a sudden – it is all up to you; the choices are infinite, and the final result is entirely in your own hands.

RPS Group
2021-10-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
We had a really enjoyable RPS Group meeting on Tuesday 21st September – the first time we have met in person for 18 months. It was a particular pleasure to see a number of recent successful panels at Licentiate and Associate levels, and thanks to Sarah Nichol, Lynne and Jeff Owen for bringing those along.

At last we were also able to see work in progress in print form after our months looking online. Thanks especially to Janey Devine who is currently an RPS Assessor on the L panel as well as both Travel and Documentary and so is very well placed to advise on the recent changes to the assessment criteria. With John Bradshaw’s eagle eye on technical matters and his and Graham Sargent’s long experience as assessment panel members too, the group is very well served to support those looking to pursue the RPS Distinction routes.

Your can find notes from the meeting here https://www.dropbox.com/s/ga0tk5peinfm9az/RPS%20group%20introduction.pdf?dl=0 offering a general introduction to the different levels, and here https://www.dropbox.com/s/4zsgo2rff2tgfmr/RPS%20Distinctions%20Associateship.pdf?dl=0 more about the ARPS. The RPS has considerable information online, which you can find here https://rps.org/qualifications/.

We meet again on Tuesday 18th October, in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start. You are welcome to come along and observe or bring work in progress and there will be further opportunities to see recent successful panels.

Development Group (Club and Intermediate)
2021-10-18 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Planned Agenda for Development Group on Monday 18th October
This Session is going to be informative and as much fun as Linda and I can inject …… it centres around two major topics – Filters and Mounting images. The Filters bit is the serious bit – and there is a lot to get through. The Mounting bit could be a lot of fun – Linda will do a demo on how to measure, cut and assemble your prints in a mount, and then we will both follow by getting maybe a half dozen people to bring prints and frames and then cut mounts to suit during the session.
For now the Agenda will look something like this
. Small Print Competition
. Filters
. Printing (might get dropped depending on time)
. Mounting demo and practice
. Preparation for next Photowalk – West Wittering

See you there!
Andy 🙂

I have a passion for digital photography and have been making images with my camera now for many years and have never lost my enthusiasm. I love being able to be in control of the whole process, composing the shot, taking the shot, post processing the shot and finally printing it. Its my attempt at being creative and artistic which gives me much enjoyment and fulfilment. My work has been exhibited at many national and international exhibitions during the process of my working towards my photographic distinctions.

Club Photowalk - Petworth Park Deer
2021-10-03 15:00 - 20:00 | Petworth Park, GU28 9LR
===== Open to all Chichester Camera Club members =======
NOTE – The date for this first Photowalk has indeed been changed to the SUNDAY after a decision in the Developers Group meeting at Tangmere on 20th September
================================================
The first outdoors event is primarily for social reasons – to get to know anyone you dont yet know. As for the location, it just so happens that in late September/early October the rut may well be happening. They will be gathering, thats for sure. And Autumn colours may well be showing in the trees, providing the backdrop. So meet in the North Car park on Sunday October 3rd at 3pm – that gives us plenty of time to wander round the park before retiring at dusk (6.40pm) or earlier to go visit one of the local pubs to continue chatting and maybe show some results.
Do note that the North Car Park is exactly that – its the carpark maybe a mile north of the main touristy NT car park at Petworth . Google tells me that the postcode is GU28 9LS . (NOT GU28 9LR, thats the main car park which you dont want)
Im reasonably sure you all know the park better than I, but for those who dont, expect a wide open space with grass pathways running through it. There are clumps of trees dotted around for some early Autumn colour. The deer tend to congregate near the road where there is more cover, and are more approachable there – but compared to, say, Bushey Park, they are a lot more timid. Long lenses are the order of the day.
If you are wondering about kit, bring whatever you want. If you are macro supremo, bring your macro. If you are a landscape expert, bring tripod and wide angles. As for me and the rest of us, my advice is to travel light; I’ll bring a camera and a long (100-400) lens. Walking boots are a very good idea – and wear suitable clothing for the time of year.
If you are interested in a breeze round Petworth Park with like minded individuals, do let me know that you are coming. My email address is andy_bracey@hotmail.com and my number is 07974 173345. Pop it in your phone now, believe me, at one point or other you will need to use it ….
The event will be cancelled only if the forecast is wet. If it does look to be wet I’ll circulate a cancellation notice, probably by email to those I know who are coming, the evening of the Thursday before.
Otherwise – See you there! 🙂
