2022-11-17 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Regnum Print Shield Competition – 17th November
Judge : David Smith ARPS, President of the SPA

Once again it is Chichester’s turn to host this Annual Print Competition.

The competing clubs are down to just five – Chichester, Henfield, Littlehampton, Southwick and Storrington – as Mid Sussex and Steyning have been unable to put a panel of eight prints together in time because of the pandemic.

The winning club gets to take home the Charles Howard Shield. Charles was a past member of Chichester Camera Club which was one of the founding members of the Regnum Crouch organisation back in the 1950’s.

Cost:

Entry is free for one representative of each of the four visiting clubs.

Additional visitors are welcome – for a visitor’s fee of £5 each – but please inform programme@chichestercameraclub.org.uk how many guests we should expect.

Payment may be made in cash but we do have facilities for cashless payment.

It will be double celebration this month as with the good news that new Member Richard Paterson who was successful with his LRPS submission last week. Richard says it took him about a year to get the panel right and to master printing, and that he had no concerns from the assessors and some very positive remarks too. As you might imagine, he was very pleased with the outcome! Many congratulations Richard.

Richard expects to have his panel returned in time for our next RPS Special Interest Group on Tuesday 15th November, when we will be in the fortunate position to be able to celebrate both Richard’s and Jonathan Fiske’s successes and to learn from their experiences.

If you are interested in finding out more about the Royal Photographic Society distinctions, whether or not you already have images you think might be suitable, you will be very welcome to join us at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start in the small hall at the Tangmere Village Centre. There is a charge of £3 for Club Members, £4 for visitors who are also very welcome to attend.

Digital Workshop on Zoom
2022-11-13 16:30 - 18:00
This months workshop will be on Sunday 13th November at 4.30 p.m. I’m sorry for the change of day but as you will have seen there is a Meetup with Loughton Camera Club at Brighton 12:00 November 12th 2022 which a number of members, including me, would like to go to! Also Sunday is Remembrance Sunday and some will wish to go to church and others may wish to go to the Parade in Chichester in the morning. Hence the move to Sunday afternoon.
If you wish us to look at some of your images please send them to me at the following email address digitalgroup@chichestercameraclub.org.uk . As we discovered last month it is far better if they can be a raw file.
Hopefully we will return to the suggested day and time in December!

Meetup with Loughton Camera Club at Brighton 12:00 November 12th 2022
2022-11-12 12:00 - 19:00 | Brighton train station, Queens Road, Brighton, West Sussex, BN1 3XP, United Kingdom
This is the first of a series of inter club meetings/photo walks with Loughton Camera Club. This is a great opportunity to meet up with fellow photographers and exchange ideas.
We will meet up at Brighton outside the station at 12:00 midday. There is so much to see at Brighton, especially on a lively Saturday afternoon and we may also be lucky enought to get a mumeration of starlings around the pier as the sun sets. It is a great place for street and people photography, and there are great seascape and architectural opportunites.
Please let Jeff or Caroline know if you intend to join us. There will be a bottle of wine given to the best shot taken on the day (judged afterwards) and we will put up a gallery of shots submitted.

We’ll be in celebration mode at our October RPS Group meeting with Jonathan Fiske’s recent successful LRPS submission. Feedback from the assessment will be very useful for those developing portfolios, and this will cover not just what makes for successful panels but what lets images down.

You’ll be very welcome to join us, whether you’ve a number of images you are already thinking about as a submission or just to see what the group is about.

If you do have images to share, there’s no need to mount them, but backing them with card (white or cream is preferable) will help keep them on the print stands so we can see them best.

Join us in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15pm for 7.30 on Tuesday 18th October, £3 for Club Members and £4 for visitors.

Digital Group Zoom Workshop
2022-10-15 09:00 - 10:30 | Virtual Group via Zoom,, United Kingdom
Dear All
Earlier this year I floated the idea of a digital workshop via Zoom which seemed to be well received. As a number of members cannot do weekday mornings I am suggesting running it on a Saturday morning from 9 to 10.30 a.m. on the Saturday after the print group, i.e. usually the 2nd Saturday of the month.
The first would be this Saturday, 15th October. If you would like us to look at an image, maybe one you’ve taken to the Print Group send it to me at nicholsarahccc@gmail.com so that I can upload it to Lightroom. Whilst this first session will probably be Lightroom based – I use it! – later I hope that we can persuade other members to give help with other platforms.
Please do join even if you haven’t sent an image – all ideas are extremely useful!

RPS Group
2022-09-20 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
Join us for the first meeting of the season with an introduction to the distinctions offered by the Royal Photographic Society, including a chance to see a number of recent successful portfolios by Club Members.
If you are interested in raising your photographic game via the RPS routes, which require the submission of a related set of images leading to the award of Licentiate, Associate and Fellowship of the RPS, come along and find out more.
The group provides support in understanding the requirements the RPS, with helpful critique of your images to ensure they meet the published criteria, and for the two higher levels, how to go about setting your project and the necessary ‘statement of intent’.
We also cover the magic of ‘panelling’, that is how your set of images will fit well together, creating the ‘additional’ image that makes a whole of the parts. This is a skill that will serve you well not just for RPS purposes but also for the Club’s exhibitions and the Print Panel Competition.
The group is led by Lorna Brown FRPS (in Visual Art), and supported by Janey Devine and John Bradshaw, both also Fellows with considerable experience of the RPS distinctions process. Janey is a current member of both the Travel and Documentary assessment panels and John is a past long-standing member of the Contemporary panel.
We are pleased to once again open this Special Interest group to no-Club Members at a charge of £4

Photowalk - Dell Quay - boats, pontoons and sunsets
2022-09-18 16:30 - 19:30
Dell Quay and its boats always sounds an easy one to me. But then again, its a case of taking shots into the setting sun and light needs to be controlled somehow, so maybe not so easy after all …..
So, Dell Quay – there are lots of small boats tied up just inshore and a very convenient slipway to take images of them from. As you walk north along the coastal path from the Crown and Anchor there are bigger boats, also moored inshore. And there is the star of the show – a very large wooden hull of what was once a proud boat, now only attractive to groups of photographers …… Add in two pontoons (one is in the pic above) and the opportunties for photography are surprisingly good, especially as its all over a short length of coast, maybe 80m at most.
Sunset is at 1912 and High Water is at 1808 (neaps). That means that we will be visiting over high water, so there should be plenty of water. The setting sun in your face can be tricky to handle, but at the same time the opportunities to add reflections of coloured sky to your image should be present.
So – boats, pontoons and sunsets then.
Meet at 1630 near the Crown and Anchor. That gives us two and half hours to chat, take pics and maybe ask one or two of the more advanced members for advice or input. The aim is to stay until just after sunset, depending on cloud cover and weather. For those who are more socially minded (who isnt) or food oriented (who isnt) the Crown and Anchor provides ample opportunity for both chat and nosh after the shoot.
The Crown and Anchors postcode is PO20 7EE. Parking is on road at the end of said road leading to the pub. Park where you can and walk to the pub. It is possible that you need to park a little way away from the pub and walk to it. On a Sunday around 4-5pm it shouldnt be too bad.
You will need walking boots as the pathway is uneven, or wellies if you want to take advantage of the slipway in order to get up close and personal with the many small boats which should still be there mid September. Either way, bring wellies anyway, it isnt a long walk back to the car to change footwear. Obviously dress for the weather.
Kit? No special kit is needed, I’d suggest that a standard lens is a good start point, with a wider one being useful. Add tripods and filters should you feel the need. Neither of those will be absolutely necessary though.
Think thats all, as always my mobby is 07974 173345 (save it now in your phone) and if Ive missed anything do get hold of me
Oh, and one effort being made this year is to increase the informal training which goes on in the field, so if you need help, advice or truly sorting out, do approach those in whom you trust to come help. As for me, I’d be flattered if someone asked for help, so fill your educational boots!
Andy 🙂

Photowalk - Bournemouth Air Show
2022-09-02 11:00 - 17:00
========== subject to weather changes =========
This year the Bournemouth Air Show has been delayed to early September. This is good news for us – kids are back to school, weather is cooler, clouds are in the sky; all add up to a photographic treat at what is one of the premier Air Shows in the Country.
Yes, I know its a little way from Chichester, but it really is worth it. It is. So give yourself a shake if the sofa looks tempting, grab a friend, share cars and petrol, buy the train ticket, make time in your diaries and get yourself there. You wont regret it.
The event is run over four days, and without doubt the best day is Friday, it has a full programme of flying, er, acts, and – its not the weekend. So Friday it is.
Friday will see the Red Arrows, Typhoon (hold your ears), Queens flight (Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane) and the Chinook. Flying timetables can, do and will change but right now (24th Aug) there will also be Richard Goodwin (for me the outstanding photogenic display, see the pic), The Blades, The Wingwalkers, Fireflies and The Swordfish.
Even better is that this is one of the few places where you are at eye level with the aircraft; they fly over the sea parallel to the beach whilst you – if you go with me – are at the highest spot on the coast road. Even better is that I have found a place, slightly elevated above the road. Its out of the way of other people; jostling for position with the wannabee who has the biggest white lens in existence just cant happen.
And its free! Trains run freely and parking is easy; everyone else will have taken the train ……
So, if you are tempted (really – dont miss it), the flying begins at 12.45 on Friday 2nd September, in Bournemouth. If you wish to be sure of getting access to the elevated spot (word has got out over the years) you may need to be there earlier. I shall probably aim to be there at noon – but there are no guarantees. Parking is at Cotlands Road Car Park (BH1 3QW). The meet point and spot to get to is on East Overcliff Drive, 20 metres east of its junction with Manor Road.
The best way to describe the exact meet point is by using What Three Words – its address is pills.panic.villa
What to bring? Yourself, appropriate clothing, water. A camera and long lens. If you can deal with the hassle, a folding chair or stool can be very handy indeed, otherwise its a long time to be standing. The last display is at 16.30.
As always, my mobby is 07974 173345 and it always helps if you let me know you are coming. And thats it – see you there 🙂

Tony Gervis FRPS – ‘Visions of America’
I have photographed America for over 45 years. In 2013 I was offered the job as an official photographer for the National Parks of America. I have ‘go anywhere’ passes (better than a press pass) for 5 of the top 10 rodeos. I have visited 117 of the National and State Parks.
