The next Developers’ Group is Monday 21 October at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15 for 7.30pm prompt start.
Please send in your images to share at the meeting! They are starting to come in already. Please send no more than 3 images by WeTransfer to developers@chichestercameraclub.org.uk – it gets round the problem that some email services degrade the image quality. Please send them by this Saturday 19 October.
The photo-challenge this month was ‘Woodland Images’, so if you have been out into the woods, please share your results; but we want to see your favourites images of whatever genre. Don’t forget that it is a good idea to give your images an outing at the Developers’ Group before you put them into competitions or exhibitions … whatever you show to us is not counted as an ‘official Club entry’!
Next Monday, our magazine programme will also include: thinking about exposure, choosing memory cards and reasons to enter competitions. We continue our series ‘seeing and handling light’ through the eyes of another classic painter, and Giles Smith will take us on his journey through Iceland. After the break, Ann Macdonald will reveal her secrets for photographing fungi – a presentation not to be missed.
It will be another evening packed with ideas and tips to engage and inspire photographers at all stages. Do bring a handy notebook/device to jot down the things that grab your attention.

RPS Group
2024-10-22 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
The October RPS group meeting slips a week and is on the 22nd October, rather than the 15th. Otherwise all as normal – come along to find out more about the Royal Photographic Society distinctions, bring work if you’d like to but it’s not necessary. We’ve a number starting to think about the Licentiate, the first level, and a couple of Associate projects in development too.
There’s lots of advice on hand from experienced photographers who’ve been through the system, as well as knowledge of the assessment process from Lorna and Janey who are both current assessors with the RPS and between them cover a number of the higher distinction category areas, such as Visual Art, Documentary and Contemporary.
We meet at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start, in the small hall at Tangmere Village Centre with a cost of £3 for Club members and £4 for visitors.

Developers' Group
2024-11-18 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
The next Developers’ Group is Monday 18 November at Tangmere Village Centre at 7.15 for a prompt start at 7.30pm.
As usual, we start with appreciating your photographs. They are already starting to arrive. Please send me 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 16 November at the latest.
The photo-challenge this month was, ‘Something small in context’. Perhaps you have made a photograph captured during the Photowalk in Fittleworth Woods, but we want to see your best recent images of whatever subject or genre. It is a good idea to try out your images at the Developers’ Group before you put them into competitions … whatever you show to us is not counted as an ‘official Club entry’!
Next Monday, our magazine programme will also include: ‘thinking about exposure and settings’, ‘seeing and handling light’ through the eyes of another classic painter, and Brian Muir will show us how he prepared for his DPAGB distinction, giving us an insight into how Lightroom-only processing has transformed his 15 original captures into photographs with big impact. After the break, Julia Wainwright and Ian Roberts will illustrate more of their voyage of discovery into photographing motorsport. Two super inspirational presentations!
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; and please remember the £3 cash to help us pay for the hire of the hall.

RPS Group
2024-11-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
There are mixed views on the recent changes the RPS has introduced to the Licentiate distinction but they do offer a considerable benefit to anyone looking to develop their photographic skills, whether or not they wish to pursue the distinction. The new guidance is very comprehensive, with the criteria (which are really unchanged) falling under the straightforward headings of Technical: Camera Work; Artistic: Visual Awareness and Communication: Visual Narrative and Presentation.
Digging into these, guidance on Technical covers aspects such as the ‘Exposure triangle’, ‘Compression’ and ‘Post processing’, while Artistic includes ‘Viewpoint’, ‘Colour’ and ‘Monochrome’ and ‘Gestalt’. As such, working with these within our Special Interest Group offers quite a photographic development course. As the RPS puts it, an LRPS serves as a benchmark to a photographer’s commitment to their own development, so even if the actual award doesn’t appeal coming along to our meetings will enhance your photographic skills and understanding.
The Licentiate Guidance is published here, https://rps.org/qualifications/licentiate/ although as the publication runs to 32 pages it could be quite overwhelming, but it does give an extremely clear and detailed breakdown of the many, many facets that we all engage with whenever we take and present a photograph. I should emphasise that no submission is expected to meet every area described in the guidance, point 7.10 for instance explains the benefits and disadvantages of increasing the resolution of an image, a submission would not need to demonstrate this.
Join us to find out more, at 7.15pm for a 7.30 start in the small all at Tangmere Village Centre.
£3 for Club members, £4 for visitors.

Our Christmas Bash.
Our Christmas Bash is one of our few evenings given over entirely to socialising.
We all think we can judge, so this year the first half of the evening will take the form of a print competition. Members can submit one mounted print that will be displayed on our print stands. All members present on the evening will vote for they favourite print, placing them in first, second and third place. This means that members will be able to socialise for the first half of the evening too, while viewing the prints and discussing the merits of each.
As its Christmas the competition will have a theme and the title for the evening is ‘My Favourite Gift’. This can be interpreted however people like!!
The second half of the evening will be nibbles, mince pies and chat.
Please arrive from 7pm to help get everything set up for 7:30pm.

RPS Group
2025-01-21 19:30 - 21:30 | Tangmere Village Hall, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, West Sussex, PO20 2HS, United Kingdom
The RPS Group meets for the first time in 2025 on Tuesday 21st January, offering opportunities to find out more about the distinctions offered by the Royal Photographic Society. The Club has a considerable number of members with these awards, including seven at Fellowship level, the majority of whom have benefitted from the support of the group over the years.

The entry level award – the Licentiate – offers a really sound photographic development route, even without the award itself. It requires a submission of 10 images that demonstrate a good awareness of photographic and processing understanding and it set against clearly defined criteria.

Come along to find out more, we start at 7.15pm for 7.30pm and now meet in the large hall rather than the small hall we’ve previously used. The charge is £3 for members and £5 for visitors.

‘Keep Looking up’:

A journey into the Rabbit Hole that is Astrophotography, looking at some well known sights in the sky, as well as giving hints and tips on how to get started.
Since the age of 7, Graham was wanted to take part in Astronomy, and more specifically to photograph the Night Skies. 6 Years ago, after moving from light-polluted Hove to the outskirts of Worthing he’s finally been able to look at and shoot the night skies. This talk is an introduction to Astro Photography throughout the seasons, with helpful hints and tips should people be tempted. I also hope to have some equipment with me and will attempt to explain what everything does!
