Moments in Nature: Ben Hall
2018-09-20 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Moments in Nature: Ben Hall
Ben Hall has gained worldwide recognition as one of Britain’s foremost professional wildlife photographers. His images are often surprising, always striking and ever striving to awaken people to the diversity of the natural world. He is described by “Living Edge” magazine as ‘a passionate and experienced wildlife photographer, with a perfectionist’s eye for detail’.
Ben’s personal approach to wildlife photography lies in the creative art of ‘seeing’. His aim is to use his pictures to communicate his personal vision, to generate an emotional response and to excite the viewer’s aesthetic sensitivity. He often pre-visualises a particular image in his mind before setting out to photograph it. To realise this vision by turning it into a photographic image can take weeks or even months, and often sees him returning frequently to the same location to capture the perfect shot.
.
Ben is a regular photographic and editorial contributor to clients as diverse as BBC Wildlife, Practical Photography, Outdoor Photography, Photography Monthly, Professional Photographer, Digital Photographer, Digital Camera magazine, Digital SLR User, Birds Illustrated, Birding (USA), Birdwatch, The Grebe (Cheshire Wildlife Trust), Living Edge, Birds (RSPB), The Countryman, Peak District magazine and Cheshire Life.

RPS Group
The first RPS Group meeting of the season on Tuesday 18th September is an ideal opportunity to find out more about the art of creating panels (co-ordinated sets of images) as well as the criteria for achieving the Royal Photographic Society accreditation. These are Licentiate, Associateship and Fellowship, awards now held by a good number of Club members, many of whom who have been supported through this group. Do just come along to observe to find out if this might be something you would like to pursue.

Developers Group
2018-09-17 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
THE DEVELOPERS GROUP
The Developers group is provided exclusively for Club class members and provides an opportunity for inexperienced photographers to get to grips with the basics of photography. This is the first meeting of the new season at which we will cover how to take control of your camera through the understanding of shutter speed, aperture and ISO and the inter-relationship between them.
In the second half of the evening there will be tips on taking pictures of landscapes and wildlife with complementary practical exercises to aid learning.

Tides and Tempests, Coastal Photography: Rachael Talibart, Black and White Photographer of the Year 2018
2018-09-13 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Tides and Tempests, Coastal Photography: Rachael Talibart
Black and White Photographer of the Year 2018
One of ‘the best outdoor photographers working in the UK today’, a ‘landscape master’ Outdoor Photography Magazine June 2016

Rachael grew up on the south coast of England. Her first career was as a solicitor in the City of London. During the City years, Rachael’s friends and colleagues were used to seeing her return from trips with bags full of exposed film; the developing sometimes cost more than the trip! In 2008, she converted to digital and she says that is when the obsession really set in. In 2000, Rachael left her City career and, after obtaining two more degrees, she now works full-time on her photography.
Much of Rachael’s early childhood was spent at sea. This has left her with a life-long fascination for the ocean in all its forms, but especially in stormy weather. Rachael travels widely for her photographs but retains a special fondness for the South of England and many of her images are created there. For Rachael, nothing beats a day on an empty shore, the wilder the weather the better, and this is reflected in her work.
Rachael’s photographs have been published in books and both print and online magazines, have been exhibited widely in the UK as well as Barcelona and New York, and appear in private collections in the UK and USA. She is owner of f11 Workshops, providing photography day workshops in the South of England and runs residential photography workshops for international, fine art photography business, Ocean Capture. Rachael is in demand as a public speaker and writes for photography magazines. A member of Parhelion Group.

Print Group
2018-09-11 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
The Print Group reconvenes for the new season on Tuesday 11th September, meeting as always in the Small Hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.30pm.
The group is an ideal way to share your enjoyment in photography and to share views, tips and techniques on printed images. It’s all about the end product, so so while we don’t look specifically at the process of printing itself (see the Digital Group for sessions on printing), we do look at all matters relating to the end image. So we cover composition, cropping, content and also look at the ways different papers will affect the finished picture, as well as touching on mounting.
You can bring along your favourite images to share, work in progress, those images that don’t quite seem to come together on which you’d like different opinions or perhaps images you are thinking about entering for competitions. You’ll also be very welcome to just come along to find out more about the group without bringing work to show.
Images don’t need to be mounted, but please do just stick them onto some firm card so that they will stay on the display stands we use.
The group is open to all photographers, whether new or advanced, and is an easy way in to learn about critique and chat to other Club members about work. The group is also open to non-members, and the charge is £3 for Club members and £4 for visitors.

The Joy of Seeing : Photography My Way Viveca Koh FRPS
Viveca photographed last visit at her talk on smart phone photography is an exciting speaker and welcome back with what will be a very stimulating evening and a range of interesting photos.
Viveca Koh FRPS
I am a self-taught Fine Art photographer, with a special fascination for small details, for lost, abandoned, poignant and generally broken objects, and also for darkness contrasting with light, both in a physical and emotional sense.
Many of my illustrative images simply evolve as I am working on them – I start off with a quite straightforward idea of what I want to achieve but am always willing to venture wherever the photograph wants me to go, as I overlay multiple images together or add textures, scanned documents as new layers, and subtle shading. Two photographs may blend together in a way that I could not have previously imagined, and this is one of the things that I find so exciting and all-consuming when I work, to produce a final image that perhaps a little bit different, that invokes emotion in the viewer and makes them question their sense of the world as they know it.
In June 2014 I was awarded a Fellowship Distinction by the Royal Photographic Society, following on from an Associateship Distinction in June 2011 and a Licentiateship Distinction in 2010.

Margret Preece will be leading a photo walk around the pretty village of Amberley on Thursday 23rd August. Margret says:
"Walk around Amberley village (the “pearl of Sussex” according to some guide books).

Suggested start: 7pm

Directions from Chichester: A27, A29, B2139. Drive past Amberley railway station and Amberley Museum (on the right). One mile further along the road turn left into Amberley village. Park in road (on right hand side only). Meet outside the school which is on the right hand side.

After the walk I suggest the Sportsman pub in Amberley but it will be easier to drive to it."

Meeting: I’ll be waiting at the gate.
Length of stay: An hour or two.
Wrap Up: At the Rainbow Inn from 7.30. A CAMRA pub but no food after c. 7pm
What to see: It’s a large site with upwards of 60 allotments. Everything from the scrupulously tidy to the abandoned, plus hedgerows, trees and a tame fox. Sheds and greenhouses. A couple of chicken runs as well! I’ll make sure the visit is publicised by the City Council so everyone will know the the Club are visting.

The final meeting of the Multimedia Group this year will be looking at Video, meeting in the small hall at Tangmere at 7:30pm on Wednesday 23rd May.

Many of us have the capability to take high quality video on our phones and cameras, but we often do nothing with it. Video is also a great way to enhance AVs with a mixture of clips and stills.
The meeting will introduce some free Video Editing software available for all platforms (Mac, Windows and Linux) and discuss some basic aspects of video shooting and editing.
There will also be a chance to show your work and discuss a project for the summer. All are welcome.
