Unsa inyong masulti sa mga photographer sa canon during sinulog 2012?

Hi everyone! Me and two other friends joined the photo contest last year and this year.

First of all, we are not Photographers from Canon. We have Nikon.
We picked the area near the judges station somewhere in Iglesia ni Cristo. There were only a few photographers there, less than 10 or 10 the most when the carousel started moving . Its a perfect area to shoot the Dancing Dancers I'd say it was a give and take with the rest of the photographers that i brushed elbows with. And i would still like to further say that discipline and respect is there especially when a flock of photographers came in to that area.

CROWD CONTROL was way bad. It got worst after lunch. But we still gave way to the non registered photographers who braved in, just to get near the contingents because after all, it is SINULOG. What got most into our nerves is that one officer who's suppose to be part of the crowd control, he was in uniform but since he got his dslr hanging on his neck...i bet, he forgot his responsibilities. You just gave a wrong impression to us...tsk tsk tsk

Around 2pm, we decided to move to fuente since we didn't like the crowd control but its triple worst there and the number of photographers were tripled too. hehehe I understand the sentiments of those who kinda hated the people wearing the red canon shirt, our apologies. I also hope you hear our side, in order for us to capture great shots…we need to be on a greater position to do that. We are not only competing with other photographers. We are also competing with non registered photographers (there’s a lot of them). It’s just easy to pin point us because we are recognizable.

What should be focused is to create a system that will make things much smoother next time and that goes out to the SFI because they have the power to do that and to simply eliminate those who can’t follow their rules. Because only through this can we strain out the less passionate about the contest. I bet a lot noticed that there’s a lot as well who are wearing the red shirts but don’t have camera’s, they just want to get inside the parade. Talk about money making…tsk tsk…Sinulog 2011 is still the best for me, less chaotic than this year.


Let us not limit our understanding with what our eyes can easily see and let us not settle for band aid solutions. Just my 25 cents! Pit Senyor everyone! and congrats in advance to the Winners!

Reposting my reply from the other thread.


Nishoot ko gahapon and based sa akong observation, ang action sa usa ka photog resulta pd sa gibuhat sa uban..

Ina-ani na, pagbuntag dili pmn kaau gubot, pero once nagsugod na dinul-itay labi na katong nag prime, of course mangita pd angle ang uban para dil sila matabunan..

Paghapon na, it was a different story.. Wala na cowd control so naay uban nga walay ID nag mosulod niya magsamok2 ug pi. Naa pd uban crowd kay mosud para magpapicture..


If pchan's numbers were eightr, 1.5k photogs means 1.5M niya wala man sila panggasto sa tarong nga crowd control. Kasabot mn sd mi sa sentiments sa ubang taw kay bisag ako gisapot pd q ka di nako katarong take ug pic..

Ang solution ani nga problema is better crowd control, strict implementation sa rules qng asa ra pede mo shoot. Dili q uyon sa photog area in the judges' area. Sa photog's part, disiplina pd sa atong self ang usa sa solution ani.

ang sinulog dli para sa photog ra... hahahha... so naa sad manan.aw so give way eventhough nagbayad ta its not enough para photog ray malingaw...

[unagikabayaki]

Sinulog is for everyone, not for this feeling photograpers...

Sikata sa ako mga amigo ug amiga wui! anyway crowd control ra na sa sponsor ayaw pud intawn dauta ang Canon (bisag Nikon ko) kay they are delighting you always.

Crowd control simple solution.

[Blah-Blah]

di man tawon to canon tanan oi.. SPONSOR ra ang CANON

[PaYaSo]

it wasnt like this 3 years ago.

[sevmik]

Asa na man ka TS? Satisfied na ka sa mga reply dinhi? Next time get your facts straight first.

Lock this thread na lang mods kay gatuyok2 ang discussions in three threads. Sayang kaayo ang mga ideas nga gipangpost dri makatag ra, di nato ma note down para atong ma send as feedbacks sa SFI.

[rudavallo]

bottom line sa problem, wala matarong sa mga organizers. tanan sector naay sayop.

reasons why i'm proud to be a NIKONIAN!
