Any of you chaps get any photography Christmas presents?

Just the one for me but I must say, the missus has done well - I didn't even ask for it:



Lightpainters will understand my delight.

Anyone get anything nice?

Subscription to Outdoor Photography and I had a photo in the first issue that arrived which I'm taking as a good omen for the year!

Surely that can't be as good as that looks!

This is the first time I've wished I had an iPad.

That look very interesting - will be good to hear how you get on and if it has any problems.

Their sales pitch for macro photography is hilarious. They see an insect, they set up their tripod and the camera facing the bug, run away, pick up iPad, spend 10 seconds trying to focus on the insect, zoom in, spend a few seconds fine-tune focusing... aaaand capture. Yeah good luck getting many live insect macros like that hehe.

That said, every other use might be good. I'd be interested to hear yours thoughts.

Opposite situation for me - I took some photos as a Christmas present for somebody else!

I gave two of my photos as Xmas presents. I'm half way through my second family yearbook (ran out of time in the run up to Xmas). I didn't get anything photography related, but I do have the green light for new gear in 2013, when finances permit.

Got a new lens and some post processing software, which were both very welcome.

DSLR Controller on android does much the same if you have a Canon, it's surprisingly good.

A £5 lead and £5 Android app has got me something very similar for my SGS 3 - I can use my phone to control the camera (albeit not wirelessly.) My budget equivalent.
