What to present to the photographer?

If you have a friend or relative involved in photography, you are very lucky. Almost certainly, you periodically for free become the owner of beautiful and professional pictures, which are captured in the best possible way. Therefore, with the approach of any holiday or birthday of the photographer himself, you will certainly want to give him the best gift. This article will discuss how to choose a suitable souvenir or present for a person who likes to take pictures.

Let's start with practical gifts. Your friend will be able to use them in the process of his work and will repeatedly remember you with a kind word and with gratitude. Many photographers are not rich, because the creative person thinks more about self-realization, and not about profit. Therefore, photography lovers often need to replenish their work kit.

• Filming in nature usually lasts a long time, in addition, under these conditions there is no way to recharge camera battery. A spare powerful battery helps in such cases.

• Tripod To place the camera during shooting is also a very necessary thing. Of course, if your friend or relative is a great professional, then he probably already has this device. But in this case, it would be worthwhile to buy him a lightweight tripod for use on trips.

• Even novice photographers quickly accumulate large amounts of footage. What can we say about those who have been involved in this business for many years. Capacious hard drive or memory card with a large volume, those who are interested in photography will definitely not be superfluous in the arsenal.

• One of the problems of winter landscape photography is the severe freezing of fingers. For fans of photography on sale are available special gloves. They warm the fingers and hands, while not making the process of photographing difficult.

• Perhaps your friend, a photographer, spent a lot of money on photography equipment, and at the same time was forced to carry his work kit in a regular bag or backpack. Meanwhile, this is rather inconvenient. Professional photo backpack very pleased with anyone who is seriously involved in photography and often carries photography equipment. Convenient sections are provided in a special backpack, in addition, the camera and lenses are protected from damage as much as possible.

• A good present can be training book on photography, retouching and computer processing of images. Everyone needs to get new knowledge and improve in their field. It will be pleasant and useful for beginners to get a paid pass from you to a seminar on photography or a subscription to attend photographer’s advanced training courses.

• If you strongly doubt your competence in matters of photographic equipment, accessories and components, just give it to a friend certificate for purchases in a good photo store. In this case, he will be able to choose what he really needs.

Usually, all professional accessories and photo accessories are not cheap. If you still want to present something useful to the photography enthusiast, and at the same time are somewhat constrained by the means, you can consider relatively inexpensive, but necessary things for the photographer:

• a good and strong strap for carrying the camera;
• optics cleaning kit;
• photo frames of various formats and styles;
• case for a compact camera.

You can also give any enthusiastic photographer some things that will talk about his occupation. Most people are very pleased to receive even a very inexpensive trinket, stylized as some kind of item relating to his favorite activity.

With this gift you can supplement the main present or give it on the occasion of a small holiday.

• The most popular souvenir from this series at the moment is a tea mug, a thermos or a glass in the form of a lens.
• A t-shirt for a guy or a top for a girl with a print on the theme of photography is a gift that is always appropriate.
• An original keychain or pendant for a bag in the form of a camera can please both an amateur and a professional.
• Recently, piggy banks, which have the appearance of a photo frame, are gaining popularity. All coins lowered inward are visible through clear glass. When filling out such a piggy bank, round money sometimes quite by chance stacks up in bizarre compositions.
• For a birthday, you can order and present a birthday cake made in the form of a camera model. This will amuse not only the hero of the occasion, but also the guests of the holiday.
• Photographers themselves are not averse to getting high-quality and beautiful pictures with their loved ones. Therefore, it will be very original to give a photo enthusiast a certificate for his personal photo session with a professional. Let him try himself as a model. In particular, such a present will delight girls.
• Buy tickets for a photo exhibition and go there with a friend. At such an event, the photographer can gain experience and just enjoy looking at interesting and high-quality photographs of colleagues.

At the end of the article, there are some tips regarding the issue of unwanted gifts for a person who is seriously interested in photography.Listening to them will be especially useful for those who are not themselves a photographer and have little understanding of the nuances of this lesson.

The only exceptions are those cases when your friend or close person has previously discussed with you the desired gift and named specific models of the necessary components or photographic equipment.

• Do not give a professional or semi-professional camera. Each photographer chooses equipment in accordance with their needs and preferences. Often you have to spend weeks viewing and comparing the characteristics of various models, proofreading reviews and familiarizing yourself with the reviews for a particular model. High cost is not a criterion of universality. You can not trivially guess with the manufacturer’s brand by giving a friend-photographer a technique for which he does not have any components. Therefore, in order to start working with your generous gift, he will have to decently spend money on their purchase.
• With lenses, things are similar. Dear professional models have a rather narrow purpose. Therefore, each photographer selects lenses, as they say, "for themselves." By purchasing an expensive model, you run the risk of missing a choice. Anyone who receives it will have to put your gift on the shelf or sell it to colleagues. In this case, both will inevitably be upset.
• Flashes have a lot of characteristics: power, range, brightness, etc. In addition, many models are suitable only for a specific camera. Do not take risks by poking your finger into the sky. Without understanding this issue, it is almost impossible to guess the choice.
• For filters, one of the main characteristics is the diameter. Already in this matter, you are likely to be mistaken if you do not discuss your future gift with the photographer himself. In addition, all filters, with the exception of the simplest, most protective and UV filters, are designed for specific shooting conditions.
