what to get him for christmas

Kathryn-Yule · 14 Dec 2007 at 11:52

Hi my other half who is a member on here under the name 33l has the canon EOS 400D and i was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas as to what to get him for christmas to go with it - i have one or two things - but has anyone got any tips as to what would go down a storm? :confused:

do you know what kit he has already, and what does he shoot most of?

TheCrow · 14 Dec 2007 at 11:57

hmmm he may spot this post?

It would depend on the stuff he likes doing. What sort of photos he into, macro, landscape, abstract, portrait? And what kit he got so far - camera / lens's / tripods / filters / lightboxes etc.

Edit: beating

Hehe, good call.

set of ND graduated filters maybe?

Kathryn-Yule · 14 Dec 2007 at 18:34

Hi - its ok if he sees the thread as im only getting a few ideas plus he has promised me that he wont open this thread. He already has a tripod, the camera obviously, the lens's, and he is getting some flash boxes from E-bay - so it looks like the only thing he is missing is the fliters - what are the best ones to get and where can i get them from?

Also what about a bean bag is that any use?

I f you really love him you would get him some L glass

But on a more serious note some L glass.

Kathryn-Yule · 14 Dec 2007 at 21:38

Kathryn-Yule · 14 Dec 2007 at 21:38

L Glass - i asked him what that was - and he laughed at me! Apparently its not the cheapest thing going? lol

He said he will give you your 20 quid when he sees you next!
