TROPHIES NIGHT 23rd March 2015

Members please read Tony's message HERE

“Members of your Club are cordially invited to Chichester Camera Club’s brand new and exciting Spring Exhibition on 11 and 12 April 2015, details of which can be found on the attached flyer.

Print exhibitors have had the choice of varying screen spaces with the freedom to display virtually any type of work they wish with no rules on size, subject matter technique, etc. whilst PDI workers are each allowed to have up to 6 images projected, again with no subject ruling. Based on our previous, similar exhibitions, this freedom of choice has resulted in a considerable display of artistic talent. The day has also proved to be a great social occasion.

We hope you will be able to visit us and look forward to meeting you on either 11 or 12th April. See our web site at http://chichestercameraclub.org.uk/ for directions.

PAGB Inter Fed Competition

THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ALLIANCE of GREAT BRITAIN

ANNUAL INTER–FEDERATION PRINT & PDI COMPETITIONS AND EXHIBITIONS

The annual PAGB Inter Fed Competition and subsequent exhibition will take place in June of this year.

The majority of work for the SCPF entry will again be selected from the forthcoming Club Championships and Finals Day entries.

Images will be selected to represent the SCPF in the following categories
· Colour Prints
· Mono Prints
· Open PDI
· Nature PDI

The selection submissions shows much of the good work from our Club's members, but we know that there are many more excellent images (particularly prints and especially in mono) that never get the chance of consideration as the selection committee never see them.

We would really like to see representative work from as many clubs as possible and would ask that prints be submitted to any SCPF Council member before May 10th 2015. This is also the date of the SCPF AGM and Club finals day, when a box will be available for work to be submitted.

Please bring this to the attention of Club Members. It is important to note that any member can submit work for selection, it is not necessary for clubs to pre-select.

PDI's can be sent to me at any time for inclusion at pagb.competition@southerncountiespf.org.uk, although thanks to the existing PDI databases there is not such a shortage of suitable work for consideration.

Many Thanks,
Tony Oliver SCPF Vice President

If anyone cannot make it on the Saturday, we will be open on the following day (Sunday) between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. We will have refreshments available on that day; however, access to the exhibitors may be limited.

Print exhibitors have had the choice of varying screen spaces with the freedom to display virtually any type of work they wish with no rules on size, subject matter technique, etc. whilst PDI workers are each allowed to have up to 6 images projected, again with no subject ruling. Based on our previous, similar exhibitions, this freedom of choice has resulted in a considerable display of artistic talent. The day has also proved to be a great social occasion.

We hope you will be able to visit us and look forward to meeting you on the 10th January. See our web site at http://chichestercameraclub.org.uk/ for directions.

Paths to Artistic Imaging in Photoshop. Book

My name is Russell Brown and I am the author of self-published book Paths to Artistic Imaging in Photoshop.

I am writing to clubs in the UK to let members know that my book is available at Amazon in the US for half the regular price until Christmas.

It is a great opportunity to grab a copy for yourself or as a stocking filler for like-minded friends or family.

The book has been well received, selling over 400 copies since its release and has been endorsed by my namesake, the Principal Creative Director at Adobe Systems.

It came about after my experience as a member of the Beta-reader team for Dan Margulis’ latest book Modern Photoshop Color Workflow.

I use many of Dan’s methods, plus a few of my own but for more artistic ends than him and it became clear to me that there was very little information available either in books or on the web on these techniques.

Anyone interested can use the Look Inside the Book feature on Amazon and can find more detailed information as well as examples of my work on my website.

If you could pass this information on to your members, I would be very grateful.

I live in Australia and it has been difficult for me to get the word out in the UK, so I thought it would be a good idea to approach photographic clubs directly.

Stocks of the book are only on hand in the US, however freight costs are not high and the half price special should mean that it is still an economical Christmas gift.

Please don’t hesitate to write if you have any questions.
Many thanks for your time.
Russ Brown

DIRECTIONS

Post code is SP4 6DZ.

• At the beehive roundabout just take the third exit when coming from Salisbury. It is in fact signposted to The Winterbournes – not the A338  (Marlborough).
• At the next roundabout take second exit (A338).
• At the first set of traffic lights turn right, go for 50 yards and turn left,
• Then go for 80 yards and
• Turn right, then go for about 100 yards and
• Turn right – just after the Red Hawker Hunter jet.
• Entrance to museum is on the right just past the GoFly office – parking is on the left opposite the entrance.

Hope this makes sense – will await your email next Tuesday – looking forward to welcoming you and your members at 7.30 next Wednesday evening.

Wildlight Photographic Safaris

I am writing on behalf of Wildlight Photographic Safaris.  We are a small, well established travel agency based in New Zealand specialising in photographic safaris and tailor-made tours throughout East and Southern Africa.  I act as the UK representative for the company.

Every year we organise a number of set departure photographic safaris to Botswana, Tanzania and Namibia using hand picked wildlife guides and accommodation and all accompanied by a professional photographic guide.  In addition we can arrange private photographic safaris at a time to suit the client.

Based on years of experience we firmly believe we can offer photographic safaris of the highest quality providing our clients with unparalleled opportunities for capturing great wildlife images, a view supported by the feedback we receive on our trips.  Wildlight Photographic Safaris operate with a simple philosophy: the more time spent in the field, the greater your chances are of capturing an incredible wildlife moment.

I am writing to you today to ask if you would be interested in making your members aware of our products, by passing this e-mail to them, making the attached brochures available at your meetings of perhaps even giving me the opportunity to present to your members on the Wildlight photographic safari experience.

As a keen wildlife photographer myself and a veteran of over 20 safaris to Africa I can personally vouch for the quality of the product.  Indeed it was after joining one of the Wildlight safaris to Botswana as a client I became involved in representing the company!

Some safari brochures are attached and a link to the Wildlight Safaris website is here: http://www.wildlightsafaris.com/

If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.  I hope to hear from you soon.

The images are of professional quality and size, you can blow them up to canvas size with no loss of quality.

The price is £40 inclusive of postage to UK Mainland of CD.

The exhibition will be held from 7th-12th October at The Oxmarket Centre of Arts, East Street, Chichester, PO19 1YH, from 10.00am to 4.30pm each day.  Entry is free and a percentage of any print sales will be going to St Wilfrid's Hospice.

Pairs, Panels and Projects: Print Lecture 

with
Susan Brown FRPS EFIAP

Although, Susan specializes in long exposure photography at the coast in monochrome and colour, her interests are wide ranging including landscape and abstract work. A fine art printer, Susan exhibits widely and as a member of the Arena group of Photographer is the joint author of an Arena book ‘The Coast’.

Susan is a Member of the both the RPS Licentiate and Visual Art Panels and lectures for PermaJet. She is also a Member of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen, and part of an Art Co operative, ARTSIX, a multi disciplinary group in the South Hams in Devon. 

Artist’s Statement 

The eye does not always see things the way the camera does. I consider photography to be the art form of painting with available light. Changing intensity, colour and direction of light results in a change of mood of the same elements. I respond to the intrinsic power of light that continuously alters shape and form. Further changes can be made by exposure and shutter speed, tools uniquely available to the photographer. Some of my images encapsulate a moment in time. Others are ethereal, dreamlike and considered, so requiring planning and long time exposures to see beneath the 'seen' image.
