how to get a subsciption? discounts? :)

You will see a special section here called MAGAZINE shortly. Hopefully it will be up before the end of the week. In this section we will have categories such as:

Subscriptions- for those interested with details how to subscribe

Readers Comments- to ask questions that will get printed in the magazine

Photo Contest / Submissions- we will announce what kind of photos we are looking for every month. We may or may not have a contest for this but will be accepting photos every month. For our members, now is the time to get published! In the future we will only allow our subscribers to submit, but it will be open for everyone in this forum to start. How long will we keep it open we yet don't know.

News- magazine updates and the sort.

Preview- to give you an idea what is coming up the following month

Will be looking forward for the MAGAZINE section. I'm interested in subscribing. Thanks.

Good thing that this will be published. I saw the original UK version and it was really expensive at around P850!

Congratulations to the soon to be launched first-ever Digital Photographer Philippines, we need this locally targetted media. Goodluck and may your subscribers grow and multiply... Cheers!!!

:)

Looking forward to this magazine! I usually buy Practical Photography, Popular Photography and Shutterbug and I'm glad to see a local mag with the same caliber.

im looking forward to this mag since i haven't owned a magazine about photography.

Greetings,
hey Nino, will there be any launching party or something for the first issue of the mag and will it be open to the public?

james, will keep you posted regarding this pare.

Cool... can't wait to get my hands on the mag and learn! proudly Philppine made....:Grin:

oo nga niño,
may launching ba

I'm really looking forward to this magazine. I just hope that it will NOT be full of ads. So far, from the "imported" magazines, only Practical Photography gives me the most articles that are interesting and where one can learn from.

Good luck guys !!!!!

Hi Tina,
I think the magazine will be a pleasant surprise. We can keep the ads to a minimum if we can get subscriber support from members of this forum. :Grin:

Sir,
What exactly do you count as the first week? Is it tomorrow or the week of June 5? I'm jetting off to HK tomorrow evening and it would be great to have a copy of the magazine to read while on the plane.

Thanks.

Karl

Hi Karl,
Issue #1 is already with us. I have to admit that it is gorgeous. We can confidently say that this is the best quality magazine printed locally. Subscriptions will be sent out tomorrow, while bookstores and newsstands start getting the magazine by Monday.

Unless you live in Makati, we can't get the magazine to you on time for your HK trip tomorrow. Hopefully when you get back you will see it at the newsstands.

Paano po pala yung sa Cebu. Delayed delivery to magstands ba o same with Metro Manila. I'll be here kasi until the 12th and would like to get a copy ASAP once its available

Oh, I guess I'd have to wait until I get back then. Thanks. :)

Karl

looking forward to subscribing to this magazine :)

Vernes,
we have a subscription link on our navigation bar. Please go there and fill up your details. Subscribers will get their magazines delivered today. The newsstands will start getting the magazine next week.

Nick,

thank you for the info. saw the link after i posted here. will subscribe starting on the 2nd issue since i won't be able to deposit the payment today.

Vernes

Hi,
Will there be any special discount for the outside metro manila subscriber?

Rich

Richard,

On the contrary, we charge an extra P 500 for subscribers outside the Metro. This is done simply because delivery is costlier. Please let us know if you have any other concerns.

Nick,

where can we make our payment?

Nick,

where can we make our payment?

hi nino you got PM.

Hey folks! get your DPP copy now! got mine this afternoon...at only 295 pesos (sulit!...translated good value for your money)...the inside pages- paper stock are C2S, thick, safe enough to browse and read the pages over and over again, like what i'm doing right now =) - truly a collector's edition monthly!...congrats to the DPP team!=)

Last question. 12 issues yan for 1 year subscription?


ty
Rich

I was going to suggest that you guys put in the subscription form how many issues there are in an annual subscription so that people will know how many issues they are going to get. As soon as I got the magazine this afternoon, I checked right away and it also isn't written there how many issues a subscriber is going to get.

Great magazine guys !!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!! Nick wasn't kidding when he said that I will be surprised with the magazine. It is really filled with lots of information and very few ads ... WAY TO GO !!!! I'm so glad I decided to take his word and got a subscription.

The first issue contains .... hmmmm just get a subscription and you won't regret it :-)

I'm already looking forward to the next issue !

Is it available in bookstores and news/magazine stands? If so, where?
Had a chance to leaf through a sample of the first issue at infomax and it looks great and is packed with interesting articles, nice to meet you in person Nino Carandang :).
In the process of transferring residence, will get a subscription when I've settled down. Meanwhile, I would like to get it from the bookstores.

naks! meron na sila. nakakatulo laway naman. hehehe...

I'll probably get my copy when I'm already in Makati. That is if meron na sa Cebu by next week :(

I'd like to thank Rosscapili, Tina, and Bengo for their kind words. Tina is correct in pointing out a few things. An annual subscription means twelve issues to inform everyone. The intent is to also send out subscriptions before newsstand distribution. At the moment only the subscribers have the magazine. The first stores to get it will be FULLY BOOKED. National Bookstore will start carrying around Thursday next week. Powerbooks and Bufini to follow shortly. The only reason for the slight delay is a minor barcode issue,

I'm glad that those who have seen it like the magazine. I can only tell you that it will even get better as our creative team has tons of wonderful and exciting ideas. Readers will be very surprised at the print quality. I like to think that this is the best printed magazine in the Philippines. Tons of work went into color correction, proper sharpening, profiling, proofing, etc. We also didn't use the usual C2S paper that all magazines seem to use here. In fact, it took us about a month to find a paper stock that satisfied us. The photos really pop in the magazine and it has to since we are a photography magazine. (For those members submitting photos for July, please make sure you files are of good quality otherwise we cannot use it for print).

I'll give you guys an idea what to expect in issue #2 in about two weeks.

Thanks again for the very kind words.

it's also nice to meet you bengo. i'm very happy that you liked the magazine.

hope the magazine will be available at national bookstores. visited some branches yesterday and today but the magazine were not yet available. the clerk was not yet familiar with the new magazine.

Hi Glenn,

National Bookstore will start carrying by next week, possibly around Wednesday or Thursday. We are simply waiting for their IT department to come up with our own specific barcode and that is why the slight delay. I would like to let you know though that not all National Bookstores will carry the magazine. You will DPP in the listed National Bookstores below:

1) Alabang
2) Festival Mall
3) Robinson's Ermita
4) Glorietta
5) Greenbelt
6) Shangri-La
7) Megamall
8) Podium
9) Market Market
10) SM North Edsa

This number will steadily increase over the months.

The provinces will only start with our second issue unfortunately.

I got my copy of the magazine today and I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you guys for a job well done. A magazine that we can call "sariling atin" and yet jam packed with valuable information, tips and tricks of the trade. Its what I can call money well spent. Simply Priceless!
Cheers Guys!

I stoped subscribing the UK ver and can't wait to subscrib our local version next week.

I just got my copy this afternoon! i've browsed through it and it is full of helpful information! Congratulations to the people behind it!

congratulations to the team of digital photographer philippines!
i was able to get my copy at the owg studio (thanks for the info ross!)

finally a magazine i can get monthly at a reasonable cots!

more power guys!

.

After reading several initial reviews from the early posters, wet the appetite so to speak, now I'm dying to get my hands on the very first copy I see... unfortunately, spending the whole day at Glorietta searching for the Premiere issue turned out unsuccessful, :(

Just a few more days , right Nick? :)
.

Al,

I hope no later than Thursday for National Bookstore for Greenbelt and Glorietta. The Power Books in Greenbelt make take a few more days longer. We're basically just waiting for our bar codes to be printed by them before we can actually deliver. So far only FULLY BOOKED in Rockwell, Greenhills, and Gateway have them.

when will this be available? tumingin ako sa halos buong glorietta la pa ko makita.

Hi Danna,
Again, most probably around Wed or Thu for National Glorietta and Greenbelt.

Hi Nick,

Finally got my hands on a DPP copy from Fully Booked, Greenhills. It wasn't even on the display shelves/racks and I had to specifically request from their staff a copy. The reason for not displaying it yet was because of the Bar code issue you mentioned earlier. Thursday was kind a bit too long to wait, so I rushed out first hour today and off to the nearest branch.

At any rate, my first take on this ISSUE 01 - simply, World Class!
Thanks for the tip on where to get it and for the wonderful mag. Congratulations to the DPP gang!

.

Just arrived today from a Boracay family vacation and was pleased to see that I recevied my first issue in the mail. Haven't had to time to read through it yet, but I have very favorable first impressions. Congratulations guys!

To the team of DPP great job guys! Excellent quality of both content and the magazine itself. Hoping to see more Pinoy content in the future.

Congrats! Galing talaga ng Pinoy!!

Thank you Al, TJ, and Carlos. I'm very glad that you all like the quality of the magazine. We put our heart and soul into this to make sure that the quality is "world class" as Al kindly mentioned. Yes, you will see more and more Pinoy content. Right now the ratio is probably 90% foreign to 10% local. We will probably get this to 60% foreign and 40% local over the next few months. This is the best opportunity for budding Fiipino photographers to get their work recognized. Lots planned and lots in store for everyone!

Hi Danna,
Again, most probably around Wed or Thu for National Glorietta and Greenbelt.

thanks Nick! looking forward to getting one soon.

Hi Nick/Nino, I was in Fully Booked Ghills this afternoon but they didn't have the magazine there. :( I plan to subscribe tomorrow. If I do that, will my first issue be July na? TIA.

Looks like they havent tagged it and displayed yet. Al Mendoza picked one up there but he had to ask them to bring it out of the back. If you subscribe, we will send out Issue #1 for you. Our cut off will be the 15th of every month.

Nick, yup, i guess so. they even checked their computer but it wasn't there yet. ok then, thanks. i completed the online form last night. will make the payment today and email a copy of the slip asap. :)

congratulations to the people behind the success of the magazine. thank you for making this a reality. will just wait thursday and buy the first issue. wow! this i will treasure. more power and success to DPP. :)

Congrats DPP!!!

I got my first issue last Friday, June 2. It's filled with so much information!
I'm planning to buy a new camera because I lost my 2 cams from tragedy and accident. Good thing I got my copy of DPP because I found the camera reviews very helpful!

More power, DPP!

got one this afternoon at fully booked gateway...

Nick, thanks for confirming receipt of my payment! Can't wait to receive my copy! :)

-->when I got home today, my copy was waiting for me. :) thanks Nick!!! that was fast!!! great magazine!!!

Hi, my name is Bert Talens and I am a Dutch printing consultant, specialised in standardizing printing according to ISO printing. I am very impressed about the quality of the magazine. I think some people won't believe it is Philippine-made - but it is!!!
I got my first copy and after that I bought already three copies to give to people I know they will appreciate the magazine. I bought them at FullyBooked in Gateway Mall - and there were still lots of copies over there!
Untill now I noticed, that the digital photography for magazines over here is not really impressive, but I think this magazine and this site will help professional digital photographers to improve their quality and to get in print what they want!

Got my copy thru Air21. thanks guys. And Thanks Nino.

TYR

got mine from fully booked promenade... great print quality! hope to see more local content next issue!

I agree. Being a printer myself, I can just see the discipline of DDP photos. Pics are clean, crisp and of course sharp. Very inspiring.

Finally bought myself a copy yesterday. Great content with comprehensive reviews. Glad to read a review on Canon's EF-S 60mm. Looks like it sure is a nice lens to have.

Kudos to Digital Photographer!

I've seen the magazine this afternoon at Starbucks Leviste. Impressive and its good to see familiar names on the ed's box. More power!

/m

Nick,

Thanks for the info. I just completed the subscription form online and will just email the slip later.

Nick/Nino,

I completed the subscription form online and sent the check to your office via courier (LBC) this afternoon.

Got my copy from Fully Booked early this week. Impressive for a first issue. Lots of good articles and print quality is outstanding. Noticed a few editorial slips (e.g. in p.41 the images of the lenses are there but no model designations in some) but overall a superb effort. I hope that the following issues contain more local content (local articles, reviews of locally-available gear and software, local feedback, local photos or photos of locally-based photographers). Congrats to the staff!

Well since I've already filled up my subscription, I have to ask if the topic of travel photography includes an article regarding locally available monopods, tripods and bags for traveling with dslr's? I've been looking at buying a tripod for travelling and i'm still confused as to what to buy. also the quick release heads compatible with the tri/monopods would be a nice inclusion.

On the current issue I love the flaming girl photoshop tutorial! and the composition of an image using separately photographed elements... in short I just LOVE LOVE LOVE THE MAGAZINE!!! Congratulations on your first issue!

Congratz on your magazine's premier here in the Philippines. Got mine at fully booked last Thursday. i was supposed to get it on last Wed but the store closing beat my arrival at the place, the steel door was half-closed already and I even ask the guard if the store were still open... hehehe… anyway, i love the tutorial part from pages 65-83, i only wish that all pics published would have it's exif data like those on the readers' gallery. More power to Digital Photographer Philippines.

Cheers,
Sau

Just bought the premier issue at fully booked.

Great issue! Good price too! I'll probably plunk down the cash for a subscription.

Congrats!!!

I got my first issue today at national book store glorietta, i must say, i impressed; to the people behind DPP, thank you and More power!

Aaron

To DPP:
Superb service! My copy was delivered last Saturday after I subscribed online and sent my deposit slip last Friday afternoon. Looking forward to future issues. MORE POWER!!!

I finally got my hands on the maiden issue last Sunday from National Bookstore in Alabang Town Center. The magazine is packed with useful information.. absolutely worth it.

Kudos to the DPP team! :)

Just announcing that Digital Photographer Philippines is also now available at DPI Photography Center, 2nd floor Astoria Plaza, J. Escriva Drive, Ortigas Center, Pasig

Congrats on a great mag! Got mine at National Bookstore at The Podium. Sent my check for the subscription this morning.

I finally got my copy yesterday from DPI. I love the quality of the printing... the features (sana more Nikon stuff), the lay-out... and of course, the pride that we now have the Philippine version of the Digital Photograher!!!

I have yet to finish reading it... I'm definitely subscribing to this!!! (Didn't want to fill-out the mag page... imagine ripping/cutting a page out of the maiden issue? Nahhhhhhhhhhhh)

Congratulations to Nick, Pilar and the rest of the team!!! Louie, my hubby said, "Ang galing pala ni Louie." Hehehehehhehe...

oooh i'm getting one today! :D

I think you should e-mail that you already have the June issue so they know you'll start subscription July coz the cut-off is the 15th. :)
