Of course the DPP staff has the ultimate power to choose what theme would be up for the next issue.

But we just want to hear from our community what theme they hope the DPP would cover in the next issue.

And by sensing the "pulse" the staff will have the idea what will be the hot or not. It's almost undeniable that DPP's sales performance depends on the topic it carries.


How about you? what topic you are you interested in most?

I'll start...


I think.... SUNSET and SUNRISE theme (or anything associated with it) would make a big hit in the market and mag stands.

It's quite overused subject/theme of photography, but I don't know why we humans are addicted to it.

been there, done that.

issue 20 has that and so much more. and issue no. 4 also.

how about an issue dedicated to printing (from calibrating, then profiling, also for inkjet, or dyesub, large format, print media, etc..) or is it too limited of a topic deserving of a whole issue?

how about outdoor MACRO Photography...

nice, hope it pushes through :P

this has been a perennial question here in the forums aside from the usual C/N gear acquisition. :D

How about something different? Like use themes that are not as common as photojournalism (instead something specific like: a day in the life of?) something not as common as landscapes (but specific like underwaterscapes???) something not as common as portraiture (but specific like nude self portraiture) we really have to start thinking outside the box and not confine ourselves to shooting women in bikinis, street parades, and sunsets.

it would be cool if the magazine could have multiple themes (like jpgmag) so we get more variety?

im thinking:
Street Fashion
Self Portraiture
Documentary (readers gallery with stories)
Events Photography (Dtan people!)
In Transit (a popular thread here)
What's cooking? (food photography with recipes?)


thats at the top of my mind. my .02

Theme? Strobist!

seen some studio lighting set up..in the past issue... but many of us specially advance hobbyist only have a single flash .....dont know have to get advantage how to use their flashes...(including me) ha ha ha = )

How to get more creative in just one flash, or multiple flashes.... in fashion, food/product, macro, events, wedding. Subscribers will find it very useful!

Strobist Theme!

Oh man! That would be just perfect! STROBES! featuring strobist in the philippines, tips from the pros, and cool techniques!:Angry:

Yeah think out of the box. Photography to the next level.

How 'bout Computational Photography? :Oops: :Evil: <i can see more eyes rolling like when i introduced this during my workshop last sat :Grin:).


Or maybe Forensic Photography at least.

SPORTS since it's Olympics time :)

how about the popular thread... "Are you a photographer worth 6K"... the ways and means of earning as a photographer... how to price yourself... how to register you photography business... in short the Earning side of photography...

I'd like alternative process - sun prints. Pt-Pd, Silver, Cyanotypes etc. Both using Digital Negatives and good old film.

:)

this one, i'll have to talk to jo and nick. but i really like this topic ryan.

I just remembered, wasn't there an article about color management within the first two or three issues of DPP? I seem to recall the cover had a lion on it.

Cheers!

Jo Avila

My suggestions:
- Food photography
- Extreme sports photography (e.g. BMX, skateboarding)
- Industrial photography
- Environmental photography
- feature on China (and everything Chinese)

I'd like an issue about child photography, write-up by a pro on how to direct, create diversions to get a memorable photo of children... But in this day and age, it could get touchy.

How about INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY?

been there done that also.

opppss...done..sorry.hehehe

how about this? AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

- how about how to display printed photos (framing, mounting, etc)
- how to create good photomosaics (using programs, and just photoshop, perhaps sir jo can share his technique)
- the business of photography (ma'am harvey on a 10-page feature)
- how to shoot kids & pets

My suggestions:

i'll vote for this one... especially that we are in the crisis of Global Warming...

I'd love to read a detailed article about how photographers work with make-up artists, stylists, and models as well.

How to find and negotiate deals with them, forge a partnership, etc...

as the threads indicate:

"Photographing Children": 1,929 replies; 76,379 views
"Portrait of loved ones": 796 replies; 43,515 views

this should make big waves in the mags stands

Everybody loves children i think...

Sport Photography as Sir Dave stated but hoping it to be car racing/panning etc as I wanna learn how to execute it properly.

how about...

Festivities in the Philippines?

or maybe just a portion in the next issue that deals...

Everything about Bokeh....

how about "Motion"?

Here are a few thoughts:

1) "Back to Basics" - tips from various professionals; A sort of FAQ edition. While many won't admit it very often its the basic stuff we tend to forget, especially with all the upgrades in technology. It will also be a good editions for many beginners out there looking for quick help. Part of the issue can be focused on various camera clubs and their activities as well as workshops in the area.

2) "Experts/Masters" who they are, their work, what are their specialties; tips

How about a "featured member" short section?

:)

how about "Motion"?

yeah...nice! similar like this Issue 57

http://www.dphotographer.co.uk/back_issues.php

i'd vote for food photography. cover pa lang, ulam na! (sorry for the vernacular)

This would be great too, sports together with KAPPING, (kite areal photography)

this could be fun :D and interesting.

Was there ever a color management theme or topic in past issues? Joined and bought only from Aug of 07........

what about toy/pet/cosplay? :)
on photomosaics, there's a topic discussed on automating one via PS CS3 in issue 18 I believe

i'd vote for food photography. cover pa lang, ulam na! (sorry for the vernacular)

hehehe...we have lots of food photo submission here...

http://www.digitalphotographer.com.ph/photography/showgallery.php?cat=510&page=3

but no "food-centered" issue yet...i think

Was there ever a color management theme or topic in past issues? Joined and bought only from Aug of 07........

:D

it was briefly discussed in the earlier issues (i'll check which one). we will discuss it again in one of the upcoming issues.

this has been done in all issues of dpp.

Pardon me if this topic were already covered on previous issues but how about Street Photography?

More on documenting everyday events or those impromptu ones and stuff like that. Please point to that issue if that has been covered already... :)

Thanks!

If there would be any feature I would wanna read, its a technical (and sample photo) comparo of the different lenses for different systems.
for example - the 50mm's (Canon vs Nikkor vs CM-Sigma vs NM-Sigma vs CM-Tamron vs NM-Tamron vs Pentax vs Oly vs Sony vs CZeiss vs etc.. . . . . ) plus the people who actually uses and swears by them.

Tapos, para objective yung shoot compara, everyone would take the same photo, same settings. For Canon and Nikon, if there would be volunteer bodies to cover the whole lineup (eg. 450D-40D--5D-1DMKIII) just to sample the same lens and see how it would behave in different bodies.

As the mythbusters say it -- If its worth doing, its worth OVERDOING!

How about dedicate 2-3 pages for photo submission of certain subject (Love, Faith, Religion, Nature, etc.)

How about dedicate 2-3 pages for photo submission of certain subject (Love, Faith, Religion, Nature, etc.)

That's the readers gallery already.

how about colors? (meron na ba? - para makulay!) :)

pro's are actually sharing their techniques in every issue of the magazine.

I'd like to see a DPP ( and their member photogs) do their version of:
- C! /Top Gear
- FHM
- Golf Punk
- Metro Magazine
- Philippine Tatler
- Calibre ( Horology/Watches)
- Manifesto

The whole point of the exercise is to step up to the plate and show the talent pool we have here!!!!

Ok guys, up to the challenge?:Grin::Grin::Grin::Grin:

Pretty Cool! I'm game for this one. Great Idea!

what about an issue dedicated to photo manipulation ? :)

We have done Philippine Coastal topic.....

next...I nominate....


Philippine WATERFALLS...FALLS...FALLS...!

Waterfalls like....

Dodiongan Falls, Iligan City
Limunsodan Falls, Iligan City
Maria Christina Falls, Iligan City
Pagsanjan Falls, Laguna
Tinago Falls, Iligan City
Mimbalot Falls, Iligan City
Tinuy-an Falls
Guintubdan Falls, Negros
Daranak Falls

We have lots of contri in the "Waterfalls" thread...

like....

Kambugahay, Siquijor
Pasukulan Falls, Bataan
Bokong Falls, Sagada
Batlag Falls, Tanay
Tappia Falls, Batad, Ifugao
Tamaraw Falls, Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro,
Kawasan Falls, Cebu
Katibawasan Falls, Camiguin

etc.

this one, i'll have to talk to jo and nick. but i really like this topic ryan.

I'm late to this post but if we do one about color management and inkjet printing I don't think we'd sell too many copies at the newsstands. Good for an inside article but never will it be a main feature.

correct!...correct... if you put on the cover more on "technical".... I doubt whether the stands would shake...

i wish

DIY photography accesories (for low budget creativity ) :D
more of inspirational talks from the masters
best of 3rd party lens review (SIGMA, TAMRON )
Home photography :D

Falls...falls...falls...

Mag-aso Falls, Antequera, Bohol
Buruwisan Falls
Bani, Pangasinan
Tappia Falls
Mambukal WaterFalls
Majayjay Falls
Bunga Falls, nagkarlan
Daranak Falls

for me i would suggest the theme... "photography and cooking" thanks

DPP22: LOW-LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY

...nice topic that would be based here in DPuk73 then.

DPUK 73 (http://www.dphotographer.co.uk/back_issues.php)

I read a PUBLISHED (http://www.popphoto.com/popularphotographyfeatures/5491/the-new-low-light-photography.html) article on this, but let's see what the DPP has for this topic...

SPORTS since it's Olympics time :)

+1 :Grin:

Maybe photography for F1, Indy and other race series as well!

photo essays
environmental portraits
conceptual and fine art photography

environmental portraits

yup... and environmental awareness photography

How about featuring one Philippine province every month? That obviously would include shots of:

interesting places in the featured province- landscape photography
products from their place- product photography
festivals, rituals- event photography
locals- street photography
and many more.

DPP could tap forum members from each province to collaborate and send the best pictures they can provide (maybe to promote tourism= advertising for them)

That way, they could meet and have a shoot together, and in the long run, they might make more photography clubs= group orders/subscription of DPP mag. (because DPP mag is hard to get hold of in the provinces)

How about featuring one Philippine province every month? That obviously would include shots of:

nice idea jed, let's start in Bukidnon... :)

- the gorges of manupali
- kaamulan
- manobo tribe
- pineapple fields
- kitanglad ranges
- lake apo
- musuan peak
- vegetable farmers
- 4 x 4 in mangima

wow... lot of opportunity...uhh

How about an issue on strobist photography?

"Volcanoes" :D

how about?

Sports Photography
Conceptual/Art Photography
Night Photography
Street Photography
Events/concert Photography
Corporate shots

:)

Either aerial or underwater photography might be interesting to tackle.

OT:

what's the next issue?

if you were the boss? what theme gonna be Bob?

how about macro photography? but let's avoid cliches like flowers and bugs...

the rights of photographer to take on the public place. DO's and DONT's

Food Photography

How about street photography with a cause... An anti child labor campaign!

Street Photography is very interesting :)

there were too many suggestions that DPP#22 is taking too long to come out, hehehe;)
i would want to see animal/pet/zoo photography next :)

how about underwater photography? that field is really quite fascinating.

ot: when will issue 22 come out?:)

Street Photography seems interesting...

Making something great out of the ordinary life on the street..

how about underwater photography? that field is really quite fascinating


ooh yes please *wink*wink* :)

ot: when will issue 22 come out?:)

underwater? it was DPP#4

DPP#22 would be pRO and low-light photography, the mags will probably will come out when it gets dark.... :)

...what's next?

the rights of photographer to take on the public place. DO's and DONT's

Ditto on this. Interview a few public officials and mall managers. :RedEye:

Oops! didn't know it was printing already. :)

the rights of photographer to take on the public place. DO's and DONT's

this is a nice topic Richard...

but this could only be a one or two or three pages, this could be a perfect section for a more broad, magazine stand-shaking themes like...

Street Photography seems interesting...
Making something great out of the ordinary life on the street..

the rights of photographer to take on the public place. DO's and DONT's

Not a 'cover' topic but it should be good for an inside article. Maybe an interview of a Phil. lawmaker/government official who has something to do with the issue.

For the main theme - Sports photography or environmental awareness.

how about photojournalism: disaster and calamity like Mt. Pinatubo eruptionor a recap of photographers from Marcos era to EDSA revolt up to the admin of Tita Cory, making as timeline of history of what and how pictures were taken, well I really love history and

+1 on the street photography

Listen up boys and girls. We are asking our Readers to start submitting images for our next issue of DPP. One of the themes for the next issue will be shooting the City. With this we mean we want you to capture everything that makes up the City: architecture, people, street life...

1. FATHER AND CHILD
2. "Lumang Gusali"
3. "Traffic"

how about HDR ??? i noticed that there are some photographers know more about HDR :)

how about HDR ??? i noticed that there are some photographers know more about HDR :)

this was tackled a few issues back. i think it was jay jallorina who made the tutorial.

as the threads indicate:

"Photographing Children": 1,929 replies; 76,379 views
"Portrait of loved ones": 796 replies; 43,515 views

I AGREE! Will surely do!!! :)

how about HDR ??? i noticed that there are some photographers know more about HDR :)


yeah, this was tackled already

3. "Traffic"

dan, we'll hope some photo of this could be included in DPP23

being fairly new to photography, a theme about taking photos of loved ones would get my attention. since right now, they're the easiest subject to find. :D

imho, probably some techniques on casual photography, family pictures, making use of available light in the house, etc. would be good topics.

i'd have to agree. i went to a christening last week and my little nephews seem to be almost impossible to capture. hahaha! and then there my niece, the little baby who was christened, and it was hard to get a good shot of her because she was crying...

so if any of the gurus can share stuff about photographing children, or just making family photos more than just the usual, run of the mill snapshots... that would be awesome.

Not a 'cover' topic but it should be good for an inside article. Maybe an interview of a Phil. lawmaker/government official who has something to do with the issue.

Photography and the Law. this is important, especially for us newbies, in order to avoid mall security and other hassles about taking shots. :)

My suggestions:
- Extreme sports photography (e.g. BMX, skateboarding)
- Industrial photography
- Environmental photography

+1 vote......

Photographing the Metro! this is nice, i can't wait to get a copy

Photography and the Law. this is important, especially for us newbies, in order to avoid mall security and other hassles about taking shots. :)

...this was well taken care of in the last issue.

How about mastering HDR?

How about mastering HDR?

i think this was covered too...

how about macro shots? like those super macros..
or shooting the sun... what equips, filters, etc..
or panning.. super sharp subjects, blurred backgrounds
or shooting waterfalls and other water-related images, (to prevent over exposure as it reflects light)
or IR photography?

anyway, can the next issue have something for us film peeps? well, something like film street photography... like the ones by Mr. Henri Cartier-Bresson type of street shoot? or just something for the film enthusiasts.. like a two page film photography basics?

and also, photography and law is good.. but i think it would be just a one to two page discussion.. it would be one of the main topics of the magazine.. it would be very helpful for us, for us to know our stand, and what our rights are just in case we are confronted and asked to surrender our beloved cameras..

How about Sports Photography?:Grin: or "Capturing the Moment"

How about Sports Photography?:Grin: or "Capturing the Moment"

Amen PJ :)

If i remember it correctly though, the first issue of DPP featured sports, then they had a list of 20 pointers on sports in Issue 9 :D

but if Nick and Nino would oblige, another sports photography feature will be nice :D

I think this was taken care of a few issues back.

Though I can't remember if there's a topic on TOYS. Also an in depth guide on getting the right PC or Mac for doing PP work too.

BTW, won't there be a re-issue of old issues? (so we could get our hands on them as well)

prob is where are those top sports photographers? hehehehe

^there's one right over here hahaha :D [referring to spam]

Issue 17 for Travel. George Tapan and Jake Versoza.

I just remembered my last request in this thread.. an issue dedicated to printing. This has been answered actually I think (being that it doesn't merit a whole issue). How I wish that DPP would make a supplement issue (?) kinda like how Summit does with some of their publications. Think DPP in a Wedding Belle shell dedicated just for printing. It even presents a valuable ad space for printer manufacturers or print labs, or album suppliers, or anything with prints concerned. I mean some hobbyists still have to experience the fulfillment of taking photographs through the tactility of a print. maybe it's just me? I dunno..

http://www.mediacollege.com/photography/types/

List to consider :)

How about going back to Human Form? For DPP's 3rd Anniversary

HDR.... this was slightly featured already...

But it would be nice to have a 20+page for this

How About tell to Gutsy Tuason make an issue for Underwater Photography, or at least a cover from him, I like his work.

I'll check on this one. I'll talk to the maestro if he wants to do anything.

Hey Nino... Howabout food or product photography on the cover of the DPP? Also have a whole issue dedicated to food and/or product photography... This might be something different considering we always have a person (either nude, fully clothed or portraits, even in photojourn issue) or place (travel, landscape, etc.), but never had a food shot as cover...

Or a Bird issue (the flying kind)? If I'm not mistaken there has been a wildlife issue (2nd ish i think??? - correct me if I'm wrong), but not dedicated specifically to birds... :)

Birding sounds good. I know the perfect group of people and person/s for that. But food on the cover is just plain boring for us, reminds me of that Christmas Ham cover of another magazine that just sucked balls.

Nino- How are you? Freezing to death? :D Chief I dont know if you already have in mind about Comprehensive Small Flashes Strobing Issue.

A lot of Photographers want to learn from this, because of its affordability, masa appeal and creativity how to maximize speedlights.

Maybe some DIY Tips how to make accessories and lighting set ups.

Maybe we could hear some DPP people who are interested in this topic.

I'd love to learn about this sir Joel! And while were at it, can we make an entire issue dedicated to photography on the cheap..in relation to the ongoing recession. We could compile of all the tips and tricks on maximizing the use of your current gear; cheapo gear options that works; and diy stuff. I believe it will help a lot of newbies in these tough times.

hmm How about EXTREME SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY? shooting those awesome wake boarding games, surfing, skateboarding, extreme paintball, motocross, drift racing, F1, BMX, mountain biking, karting, hiking and other stuff.. or freezing time /motion tips on how to freeze objects like for ex. stopping the motion of the bullet coming out of the gun barrel... or something like that? ^_^

Nino- How are you? Freezing to death? :D Chief I dont know if you already have in mind about Comprehensive Small Flashes Strobing Issue.

A lot of Photographers want to learn from this, because of its affordability, masa appeal and creativity how to maximize speedlights.

Maybe some DIY Tips how to make accessories and lighting set ups.

that's the favorite issue i love to read. over and over again haha!
lucky me for all the store i've ask to have a back copy of issue 23, in greenhills
i finally got one and it really made my day happy.

love that issue hehe :)

weddings. and nothing else.

- Strobes
- Food Photography
- Street
- How to shoot a subject from a mirror (minor topic inside) hehehehe!

just my 4cents..:)

Industrial Photography

I wish there were photo articles from different provinces featuring tourist spots and places not to miss when visiting the province. Even just one featured province per issue would be great. Pictures from DPP members in the featured province would even be better.

Street Photography

+1 on Strobes....

street photography


i agree:) the vast subjects that one can find on the streets are overwhelming

Since it's always raining nowadays why don't we have a Rain Photography or Photographing in the Rain or something like that. :)

underwater photography:D

underwater photography:D

ellis, they had it main topic on Issue # 4

street photography

darwin, there was sort of street photography here but not a main topic..

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb296/ncarandang/Issue23Cover.jpg

nude photography
- getting models
- dealing with models
- contract/agreement

Can we have cosplay photography please? I'd love to see some cosplays on DPP.

The issue can include tips for directing cosplayers, choosing locations for photoshoots, shooting in conventions (like how to shoot the cosplay catwalk). An explanation on the hobby itself would also help a lot, since a lot of photographers seem to attend events to shoot cosplayers without really knowing the hobby.

They could also include something like Jin's Article (http://behindinfinity.deviantart.com/journal/16401555/) but more in-depth.

Oh boy, I hope to see that one.

I hope photographing architecture for hotels, restaurants, and homes will be next. (interiors and exteriors).

Anyway, any theme is a great theme esp. if DPP is the mag behind it. hehehe

Extreme Sports/Action Photography, - BMX, Skateboarding, Surfing, Motocross,Dirtbike, Mountain Bike extremes etc.

flash photography
(i don't know if this had been covered in the previous issues though) :Grin:

Even though I haven't read the DPP magazine, I would like to suggest you cover underwater photography that covers sea creatures, corals and ship wreck; or you could cover nude/fashion photography.

...or you could cover nude/fashion photography.


...for you Michael... you may want to inquire from any members here they might have one extra copy. (Issue #12)

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z63/DPP_Gallery/12.jpg

Will you able to post that in Australia, because I emailed DPP heaps of times if I could subscribe and if they could mail here, but they didn't reply to me.

Architecture pls! Interiors and Exteriors. hehehe. :D


These subclass of photography are very easy. All you need to do is to capture HDR images and use the global compression in photomatix.

i will try to look for this issue 12

feature the various photography clubs and groups active on the DPP website.. hehe...don't forget ours! =)

i just want to echo on what my fellow "groupmate" suggested. For this will encourage more groups to be active in activities, and by doing that improving basic skills and further improve our knowledge in photography.

and if ever granted.. pls include the "nocturnals" :):)

Pinoy World, hmmmmm

Completely disagree.
There is a whole discipline in shooting architectural shots.

Even from the film days, this has been on of the more difficult fields of photography.

HDR is only enjoyed by tacky archi firms. ;)

Long Exposure!

Long Exposure!

I second the motion and feature the active groups here in DPP...plus, events photography and extreme sports, too...:Grin:

Street Photography.

I second the motion and feature the active groups here in DPP...plus, events photography and extreme sports, too...:Grin:
yeah! so that the groups in the EB Announcement would be recognized and would have more members :)

Street Photography.

+1 for street photography and/or photojourn.

Feature local festivals for the months of 2010, this way we can plan our leaves and schedule flights in advance if ever we are going to shoot :)

I agree with Reneil. Local festivals is a good feature. But probably this will be included in the new magazine :)

Even though I haven't read the DPP magazine, I would like to suggest you cover underwater photography that covers sea creatures...

That was issue#2

how about a christmas issue? like how we filipinos celebrate the christmas season..street photography featuring kids singing carols on various houses in the neighborhood at night, people going to bazaars to buy decors and gifts.. :)

Its my pleasure to introduce DPP #26 that is dedicated primarily to event photography and most especially shooting concerts and weddings. This magazine is at the printers and should be on the stands next week roughly on Fri/June 12. The energy of a concert often produces the most dramatic and striking imagery and Issue 26 will show you how to take these shots.

If you are into weddings, we go beyond the basic How To's of wedding photography but instead focus on how to make the bride look beautiful, which is the most important part of any wedding album. As usual the rest of the magazine is packed with information so pick up a copy when this issue hits the stands next week. I am proud to say that DPP ROCKS!

And before I forget, Joel Garcia, thanks for the wonderful cover image. You Da Man!

On a side note: ENCLOSED IN EVERY ISSUE 26 IS A PASS FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY EVENT ON JUNE 27. YOU CANNOT ATTEND OUR EVENT WITHOUT THIS PASS. AND REMEMBER, ITS ONE PASS PER PERSON.

my wishlist.

in-depth chiaroscuro application
the "golden hour" defined
high-key photography
architectural photography

+1 on the Architecture. haha

Also, feature the groups here in DPP. :D

sports and car photography please :)

Wildlife or Birds!

How about an issue for abstract subjects, like lines, pop arts, pebbles/marbles, etc... anything abstract.

One Light Photography

Photojournalism or photography in public service


And one more suggestion, I'm not sure if you included a buying guide for equipments in previous issues. It would be great if you could include it. It seems to be a dilemma for newbies like me when it comes to buying equipments like tripod or filters. An insight from seniors would be a great help. Like for example, best lens for landscape/portrait; or maybe some advise when buying accessories. I think this may help newstarters anticipate what they're gonna buy in the future. Whether they want to pursue landscape photography or portrait, etc.

Thanks :)

i just hope DPP would feature the 'old school' photography, where we got the chance to know more about whos who in the field of photography during the old days..old school cameras..old school tips/techniques, et.al.

Light painting and light graffiti

i would like travel photography...
