Smile Wrist Strap

So overlooked and under rated, the wrist strap has been a big hit with all that I have given it to.

A flash trigger that fires when it senses other flashes going off.

A neck strap made by someone other than the camera maker or the camera owner.
Why isn't that a second party then?

The manufacturer is the first party. The consumer is the second party. Anyone else would be the third party.

Default Stocking stuffers

Blue Crane do a bunch of photography training dvds and stuff. I can't say how good they are 'cos the four I just ordered yesterday haven't arrived as yet, but they look pretty darn good.

Lens cap keepers! I never see anyone else with them, and I can't understand why, people are always losing lens caps, and these little suckers are only a few dollars each.

Oh, and lens hoods! And plain filters. And a pony. :-P

Default Pap Strap

If you decide to go for the third party camera strap like someone suggested, then make it the Pap Strap. Read my other post on it. You will love it. You can find it easy if you google it.

How about a comfy pair of shoes. Because photographers are always on their feet!

A BlackCat exposure guide. An excellent resource for getting the proper exposure for those "tricky" shots, like fireworks, candlelit portraits and much more!
