Christmas Gift Ideas
Christmas always seems to creep up on us every year! So if you’re struggling for ideas then I’ve gone to the trouble of putting together some of the must have gadgets and gifts to buy for the photographer in your life (or to treat yourself!) this year.
A classic Christmas gift for any photography enthusiast, I mean who doesn’t want to sip their coffee from a camera lens?!
2) Photography Magazine Subscription
A subscription to any prestigious photography publication would make any photographer smile with joy and there are so many to choose from: Digital Camera World, Outdoor Photography, Photo Plus, National Geographic, Amateur Photographer…the list is endless!
Your landscape photography kit wouldn’t be complete without a set of ND filters from LEE. Nobody does it better than them and this is a great starting point for any entry level landscape photographers.
This waterproof camera cover from Meersee is an effective way to keep shooting through the rain or snow. As we know British weather is not always on your side so this makes a great buy to keep your camera from falling victim to water damage!
It is all too easy for flecks of dust, dirt, mud and water to gather on your camera gear within minutes – unless you have this kit on hand, of course. Its full of nifty little tools to get your camera sparkling again!
6) Manfrotto BeFree Travel Tripod
Manfrotto are the kings of tripods and a very reputable brand to choose. Their Befree Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod equipped with ball head attachment is a sturdy but lightweight piece of kit and ideal if you are after a lighter piece of kit.
7) 2020 Wildlife Calendar
Celebrate 2020 with a new wildlife image to look at each month. Calendars such as: Countryfile, British Wildlife Photography Awards, National Geographic, RSPB, Wildlife Photographer of the Year, etc. all produce outstanding and beautiful calendars.
Trying to power your gear when travelling the world can cause a whole host of problems. Thankfully, the SZROBOY Worldwide Travel Adapter is compatible with over 200 countries and has 3 USB ports to boot, so you’ll find an easy solution to your charging problems!
9) 360° Timelapse Smartphone Mount
If you have always wanted to shoot a 360° timelapse but not had the budget to stretch then this an affordable solution. The Veho Muvi X-Lapse mount for smartphones, lightweight action cameras, and small cameras, gives you that big budget look without the budget.
10) Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2019 Book
This has to be the best inspiration for nature photographers across the world. This year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2019 official book has 160-pages of beautiful wildlife imagery and is sure to delight and awe the family this Christmas time.
