I often get as by not photographers, what would be a nice present for a photographer, what brings him joy and hopefully is not as expensive as a new objective (which would make every photographer happy).
Here a selection of useful present ideas, which make the heartbeat of a photographer go faster.
This is an awesome useful gift for landscape photographers. Especially in the freezing days of the year a warm beverage is a blessing. And when that one comes out of a thermos, which looks like an objective, it will always brighten up the day.
The present has the best effect when you announce it with the words, that you got an objective with 420 milliliter!
Camera Lens Thermos Can with Cup
If a thermos flask is too big, then a drinking cup is a nice item. It is true to the original style with a protective bag with a red border for high-quality objectives.
Magnets in the Shape of Photos
For photographers with fridge doors made from metal or a magnetic board. Attach photos fast and uncomplicated with a nice little useful frame to your fridge and label them.
A small present, with which nothing can do anything wrong.
Movies are always a nice evening entertainment. On the other hand, there are not that many for or about photographers. Here a small selection.
A very good, but serious movie after a true story about the last bloody days of the apartheid regime in South Africa. Absolutly worth seeing, if you are interested in history or Africa.
I think that movie is quite impressive and sticks closely to the true story. Simply take a look or gift it away, or both.
