If the photographer in your life does a lot of hiking in search of the perfect landscape, point them to the insane Injinji toe sock liners.
It fits most flash heads, aside from built-in pop-up flashes. For quicker field work, a smaller flash diffuser is ideal.
At the upper end of the spectrum are large softboxes and umbrellas, but those can be unwieldy and usually stay in the studio. There are also specialized versions for covering an on-camera flash if necessary.Ī must-have for portrait photographers (and others) is a flash diffuser. (For wildlife photography with extreme telephotos, I’d get the 18 inch otherwise, the 8 inch packs smaller – though the 18 inch is actually a hair cheaper at $6.75). It comes in two varieties for different lens sizes – 8 inch and 18 inch. One gift I recommend for this purpose is the Ruggard Rain Cover. In rainy environments, especially when you’re standing in front of a tripod for long periods of time, it’s essential that you keep your camera dry. Anyone who shoots portraits should have a pop-up reflector in their bag. There are a number of similar products on the market (the one I have is a slightly larger version from Raya), and they pretty much all work great, so be on the lookout for a good deal. This 32″ version from Raya is $20, and it has five different panels you can use for different levels of reflection or other effects. The Photographer’s Ephemeris Raya 5-in-1 Reflector Disc – $19.95Ī reflector is one of the easiest ways to add great light to a portrait photo. There’s also PhotoPills ($9.99) which has several different tools, including a Milky Way tracker and timelapse calculator.
One of the best is The Photographer’s Ephemeris ($9.99), ideal for landscape photographers who want to plan their shot.
