Looking for photo subjects to write about

[phcret]

I'm a retired military photographer and photography instructor who specializes in photographic quality control, color, portraiture, illustration and photojournalism. I enjoy writing about and teaching photography, but have found an overwhelming flood of information already in existence. Not wanting to be redundant or waste anyone's time rehashing old information, I'm looking for new subjects to write about.

Are there any photography subjects that you feel aren't covered well? What would you like to read about? How do you like to get information...long involved dissertations, short blog articles or even shorter little Tweets? How can a retired photography instructor help others in pursuit of their hobby or passion?

Thank you for any input you can offer.

Hi phcret. I am new to photography (relatively). I have just bought a book on composition and am trying to compose better images. I find some of the concepts technical, and I feel that if I were to get hung up on these it might take the fun out of photography. If you could compile something that made new photogs better whilst making it fun, that may be popular. Good luck in your pursuits and God bless. PAUL

Welcome to DPS.

I am a bit of a geek myself. I enjoy long dissertations myself. I know I am probably in the minority. I also enjoy the shorter stuff but I prefer to dive into a subject.

I can't think of any subjects right off the top of my head. THere are a lot of knowledgeable people here. A Lot of the subjects are covered but new opinions are welcome by me. I love this place and have learned a great deal about photography from many people here.

Again, welcome and I can't wait to read your insights from your years of experience.

Thanks for the input guys.

- Preacherman...I like your idea of helping making new photogs better while keeping it fun for them. I'll just have to think about that for a bit though to come up with some ideas.

I do a lot of speed photography, which is photographing stuff that happens too fast for the human eye to percieve it. Stuff like shooting a pellet gun through jello:



or colored milk drop splashes:



There are actually very few people in the world that do this, and very little documentation from the people that have. I've started a blog to capture some of my techniques, but there's still a lot to learn.

I would like to see more articles on 3D photography and viewing techniques. Even the Moon Landings were in 3D!
