Xmas Presents Any Ideas

RachaelsDad · #1 (**permalink**) 27-10-2007, 09:49 PM

The wife & kids have asked me for some ideas for Xmas presents.
At the moment I have the following in my kit bag
Cannon 400d +18-55 lens
28-80 =80-200 lens from my old E.O.S. 1000 S.L.R
Cable release + canon infra red remote.
15 year old Jessops tripod (still in good nick)
Various Hoya filters
Any ideas would be a great help.Possible budget of £150. I would really like to get into some landscape photography.
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony, it's a tough one as there are so many great things you can get for your kit bag. You seem to have the kit there for landscape photography and I'm a firm believer in knowledge so how about some good books on the subject.

I have seen adverts around the net of people specialising in landscape photography courses. I'll see if I can find them out and post them for you.

You can beat a good teacher led course from a highly rated tutor!

Here you go:

Photographic - courses - photography - digital - PEAK DISTRICT PHOTOGRAPHY CENTRE

Landscape photography courses at The Digital Dawn

PHOTOGRAPHY, COURSES & WORKSHOPS - ART OF NATURE AUSTRALIA

Landscape Photography Course - School of Photography.com

I'd check around for feedback from others first before seriously considering any course.

Hope this helps.

I agree with Paul on this one, Earlier this year I went on a 4 day landscape course at "The Peak District Photography Centre" near Buxton . This was a Christmas present from my family, And I must say that I really learned a lot from this, and can really recommend this Centre.

How about a 430ex speedlite?

Paul's idea gets my vote although I wouldn't have thought of it
