Our September Photoshoot will start at the Brighton Photography Gallery, for a look at Rachael Talibart’s critically acclaimed, award-winning portfolio of wild sea and storm waves “Sirens”.

Paul O’Toole will be appraising our projected images without giving any marks or selecting a winner. Paul will also be sharing some of his own images, so the critique isn’t one way.

Bring your entries for the 1st competition.

Meet at Warnham Nature Reserve at 10:30. 

The weather forecast is promising so the photography after coffee could be rewarding.  I have seen some good shots, of kingfishers especially, taken at Warnham recently.

Our first Print and Projected Image Competition with an Open Subject theme. The judge for the evening will be Keith Gibson.

Graham and Carole our friends at Chichester Camera Club will be showing us different Audio-Visual shows demonstrating the effectiveness of combining photographic images, or video, with music, sound effects and occasional voice-over.

Meet at 9.30am at the club car park or 10am at Boxgrove Priory: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/boxgrove-priory/directions/

Colleen’s talk will be of interest to people who have little knowledge of the subject through to photographers with a high level of technical knowledge and experience.

The venue for this month will be Winkworth Arboretum.  I know we visited Winkworth earlier this year but we should now have the autumn.  Daisy and I visited there recently and the colours had definitely ‘a way to go’ before being at their best.

We will meet at Spring Gardens Nursery Farm Shop/Cafe (as recommended by Jean MacWhirter). I suspect most of you already know it, but I have to admit to not really having been aware of it. However I called in there to suss it out and found them very welcoming and have booked a table for 10.

A social evening with Christmas festivities including a fiendish quiz.

For our December photoshoot we will be visiting Lancing College Chapel, which is open to the public daily.

Members of the club will be telling us about a day when the photographic stars aligned for them. This could be that day when the light and subject was perfect or an image that was captured at that perfect moment in time.

The venue is the Vintage Tea Rooms in Storrington at 10.30 and we have a reservation for upstairs please note.

Bill’s talk will explore the work of a dozen or so photographers who have changed the way that we - as photographers - look at the world today. And if you are trying to guess who the photographer "Anna" is, try and think of one beginning with "Z", too, as she will also be featured.

Our February get together will be at Wyevale Garden Centre Pulborough, Stopham Road, Pulborough, RH20 1DS.

Andrew will talk about what makes a great or good photograph. He will be looking at a range of historic and contemporary photography to identify aspects of photographs and notions to stimulate some concepts and ideas for subject matter and projects for our own photography.

The February Photoshoot will be in Shoreham-by-Sea. We will meet at 2pm at the Adur Recreation Ground car park BN43 5LT, where parking is free. The plan is very loose, with possible options being the Ferry Bridge,  the town centre and the houseboats.
