RPS Group MAY EVENING CANCELLED
2023-05-16 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
WE REGRET WE HAVE HAD TO CANCEL THIS MEETING BUT WILL MEET AGAIN IN THE NEW SEASON ON TUESDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER
Our last session of the current season will be on Tuesday 16th May held as usual in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre. The group supports all those interested in finding out more about the distinctions offered by the Royal Photographic Society and is open to Club members and to visitors.

Whether you are curious to know a bit more, or already have work in progress you’ll be very welcome to bring along your prints. These don’t need to be mounted or even full size – just A5 as a starting point is fine – but putting them onto a piece of light coloured card does help, not least in keeping them upright on the print stands.

With the summer break ahead of us, this could be the project to start working on so do ocme along and join us.

Tuesday 16th May at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start, £3 for Club Members and £4 for visitors.

RPS Group
2023-09-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
The first RPS Special Interest Group Meeting of the season is on Tuesday 19th September. The group is for those who are interested in working towards the Royal Photographic Society’s accreditations, distinctions that many Club Members’ have enjoyed gaining and that offer an excellent opportunity to learn and develop your photographic skills.

There are three levels, starting with the Licentiate (LRPS) that requires basic photographic and camera skills; Associateship (ARPS) that calls for higher level skills and a portfolio based on a theme, and the Fellowship (FRPS), the Society’s highest level award.

The group is run by Lorna Brown, and supported by Janey Devins and John Bradshaw – all three of whom are FRPS. Janey and Lorna are both assessors with the RPS, as was John for many years so there’s lots of very helpful advice.

This week we’ll also be able to see some of the most recent of the LRPS successes – that’s ten images showing a variety of techniques, such as depth of field, different shutter speeds and view points – to give you a good idea of what’s required. We’ll also be able to see Michael Palmer’s recent successful Fellowship panel which was in the contemporary section.

There’s no need to bring prints unless you’d like to of course, you’ll be welcome to simply come along to learn more. If you would, do come along at 7.15pm for 7.30pm start in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre. There’s a charge of £3 for Club members and £4 for visitors.

The RPS also provides information and support for those interested in the distinctions – for instance this Advisory Day organised by the RPS Southern area near Wimborne on Sunday 1st October, where you can get to 1 advice or just go along as spectators. This link will provide all the information –

‘A Collection of Moments’.
Viveca is a self-taught Fine Art photographer, with a special fascination for small details, for lost, abandoned, poignant and generally broken objects.
In her talk Viveca will be discussing her ‘mini projects’ such as Elgies (Taphophile Tales) photographed in various cemeteries and examining her love for stone angels and monumental masonry. Then there are the dolls and mannequins which she often find quite sinister but always endlessly fascinating with their moulded faces and strange sense of humanity.

Our monthly meeting falls on the 17th October when we will continue to explore the RPS Distinctions routes including a short update on the revised digital-only LRPS. The group will however continue to work in print for all the benefits that brings so come along and find out more, bring some prints if you are ready and see other more advanced portfolios to help understand how to meet the criteria for success.

Some of the group are now working towards Associateship and we will look at the criteria for the ARPS, which requires a ‘statement of intent’ and 15 images that deliver the stated purpose of the statement and that come within a defined genre, such as landscape, documentary or visual art.

We meet in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start. £3 for Club members and £4 for visitors.
