Are you looking for something to give the photographer in your life?  Not sure what to get the photographer that already has everything?  He are some ideas for your holiday shopping:

 

Black Rapid Cross Shot Strap.  A long strap that goes across your torso, with the strap on the left shoulder, and the camera on your right hip, or vice versa.  Approximately $45.

A Beautiful Anarchy by David Duchemin.  I’m currently reading this book, which is not exclusively a photography book.  This is a book about bringing out your inner creative.   Do you want to nurture your inner creativity?  This book is about creativity, and the obstacles that block you from becoming more creative. $10 for the Kindle edition.

 

Domke Chronicle Camera Bag.  A nice traditional camera bag, sized for a moderately sized kit, and includes a tablet pocket.  Approximately $330.

 

The Sirui Camera/Video Monopod.  63″ tall, 4 section monopod.  It has fold down feet for added stability, but that can be removed when you want to use it as a standard monopod. $160.
