In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention (with more than 140 characters). This time we focus on lists of holiday gift ideas for photographers.
- Nancy Young found 130 Amazing Gifts for Photographers Handpicked from All Over the Web.
- Stan Horaczek adds 40 Gifts Photographers Actually Want This Holiday Season.
- Brian Smith's Holiday Gift Guide for Photographers starts with some good ideas under $50.
- In Seven Knick Knacks That Belong In Any Portrait Photographer's Stocking This Christmas, Ryan Cooper lists a few things you might not have thought your photographer would crave (like a sheet of white fabric).
- Derrick Story suggests the $20 Pedco UltrapClamp, a clamp that attaches to your camera's tripod socket. For decades, we've relied on the smaller $11.95 High Sierra Clampette for exactly the same thing.
- And if you're in a DIY mood, Ron Leach proposes Nine Fun & Simple DIY Christmas Gifts. We do like the photo clock idea (you can find plain wooden clock stuctures at your crafts store if you don't want to use a frame).
And, of course, there are always gift cards:
More to come! Meanwhile, please support our efforts...
