Next Monday, our magazine programme will also include: the 20 keys to composition … along with another classic painter … getting the image sharp in camera, and a presentation on capturing birds in flight. Charlie will give us details of how to see the film starring Lesley Garwood. To round off the evening, David Harris will show us how to press flowers in a microwave and then photograph them.

As usual, we will start with your images. The photo-challenges in February/March were ‘Shoot from a low viewpoint’ and ‘Backlit photography’. We hope that some have had a go recently or can find some in your back catalogue. Anyway, we really do we want to see your images of whatever subject or genre, and we will welcome your reflections on your own work. 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 15 March.

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. Please don’t forget the £3 cash to help us pay for the hire of the hall (£5 for non-member guests you might invite along).

Abandoned America
Tony’s talk tonight “Abandoned America” is drawn from two books he has published “Ghosts in The Wilderness” and “Abandoned On The Plains” which documents the abandonment he witnessed in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. This was a very personal project undertaken over many years which describes the plight confronting many of the homesteaders throughout much of the 20th Century. He was able access abandoned properties, which were often full of toys, books, furniture which only added to that sense of pathos.

This talk will explore some possible options for all those images in our archives that didn’t quite succeed for our objectives at the time. We will look at making Books, AV’s and free Exhibitions.
Unfortunately, our original speaker (Steven Galvin) has had to cancel due to ill heath in the family. Hopefully, we can get Steven to speak during our 2025/26 season.

Next Monday is the final Developers Group of the series – we are not meeting in May.
The magazine programme will include: ’20 keys to composition’, ‘seeing and handling light’ through the eyes of another classic painter, photowalks and opportunities for Events Photography, the Annual Exhibition, and a presentation by Vince Lavender on how to create multi-layered collage images. After the break, as a special ‘end of term treat’, Julia Wainwright and Ian Roberts will take us on their Photographic Trips at Home and Abroad – from conception of the plan to the final results … and the stages in between. Their presentation will be fascinating, enabling us to connect with their photographic journey – and picking up a load of great hints and tips along the way!
As usual, we will start with your images and welcome your reflections on your own work. The current photo-challenges are ‘backlit images’ and ‘strong colours’. Anyway, we really do we want to see your best images of whatever subject or genre. This is also the last opportunity to try out images you might like to include in the Annual Exhibition.
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 midnight this Saturday 12 April.
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. Please remember the £3 cash to help us pay for the hire of the hall (£5 for non-member guests you may invite).

Trust
Simon Townsley is an acclaimed international photojournalist and three times recipient of the British Press Photographer of the Year Award.
Simon says about trust – ‘Trust is an essential value in being able capture a powerful image, but trust isn’t just between subject and photographer. It criss-crosses all threads from publisher and authorities to photographer and subject. It is a privilege to be able to bear witness, and it is one I seek to honour. By creating compelling images of distressing situations I can break down the barriers that stop people engaging, to open their eyes without fear and broaden their perspective’.

PRE EXHIBITION MEMBERS MEETING
2025-07-31 19:30 - 22:00 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
It’s just two weeks now until we meet again for our Members’ Pre Exhibition meeting on Thursday 31st July, held as usual at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.30pm. We’re hoping to see lots of you there not just for the enjoyment of being back together again, but for some important Club business. The meeting will be the first opportunity to see the exhibition catalogue (price £1.50) – and to see which of your entries have been accepted and indeed to sneak a peek to see if you have been achieved any of the awards, which will be presented at the Preview on Friday 8th August at the Assembly Room. The catalogue is quite a work of art and our thanks are due to Andy Dulson for the fabulous job he has made of it.

There will also be a short version of the PDI Show, with thanks to Jeff Owen for that. Every PDI submitted has been accepted and during the exhibition you’ll be able to see all of those on the TV by the refreshments so you can sit and enjoy the showing with a coffee and some cake.

All the Certificates of Merit, chosen by our judge this year, David Smith, LRPS, CPAGB,BPE1*, will be distributed at the Members’ Pre-Exhibition Meeting too and it will be good to have an enthusiastic audience to celebrate each other’s successes.

We know for those who haven’t exhibited before that arriving at the Assembly Room on Friday 8th August to set up your prints can be quite daunting. To help with that guidance notes will be published in the ‘Count Down’ post which will follow. However, please note the date and time to set up your prints: Friday 8th August 10.00 – 11.00. You will easily be able to set up your prints and labels in this time but it will mean that you will need to be there promptly at 10.00 (not before please).We can give some key pointers at the Pre-Exhibition Meeting too.

Importantly we also need you there to take away the leaflets and posters that advertise the exhibition. You should distribute these as widely as you can – to neighbours, friends, local shops, your hairdressers and the like so we can attract as many people as we can to come along and see our wonderful showing.

Please also publicise the event on your social media – you can find a link to the flyer here if you can use that to please.

There will also be a chance to see what our programme secretary, Kevin Macknay, has in store for next season, both for our Thursday meetings, as well as the key dates for competitions and the other exhibitions.

The Art of Macro (via Zoom).
This talk is about Tony’s experience and knowledge of macro photography in the field, shooting insects. It covers his philosophy and approach to photography as an art. He will of course show lots of his best macro images, but the talk is about far more than a set of pretty pictures.
