I was surprised there wasn't a thread for this yet, there was one made last year
What photography related gifts did you guys get?

I got:
50mm 1.8 lens [love it so far, thanks for those who recommended it]
Lens hood + lens hood adapter for the 50mm 1.8
UV filter for my 18-55mm [already had one though haha. But it's the thought that counts!]
Polarized filter for my 18-55mm
Photoshop Elements 9 [but probably taking it back if I can get Photoshop from the links Antichrist gave me ]
I didn't ask for Photoshop, so my mom didn't know which to get me haha.

That's all the photography related stuff I got.
What about you guys?

Hope everyones enjoying the Holidays!
Have a good one

two photography books, I like them both

except from that, all I asked for was a gift card at a certain shop, where I will buy good boots.

I mean, why would I have expensive camera gear, but not good shoes to walk in half of the year?

I'll be buying lundhags ranger mid @ monday. Looking forward to walk em



I am

Well I hope your's is good as well

Nice
I never really ask for anything for Christmas or my birthday.
I completely forgot about asking for photography books
I remembered the day before Christmas Eve

Hope you're having a good holiday m8

I got:
Yongnuo wireless trigger set. If i had known how good this is, I'd have skipped on the wizzies :\
x3 books on photography, one for a photo class i'm taking @ univ
A 2TB external HD as a third backup to all my work photos.
A little metal box that holds x4 memory cards. Looks slick.

And the best present of all: the most perfect-fitting black dress shirt ever from my sister. Not even tailors get it this good. This is for when I shoot in the middle of summer, when wearing a tux at 110* F temperature is just plain stupid.

I'm so mad at myself that I forgot all about photography books haha.
Dress shirts are so underrated, they're nice.

I can't edit my original post, or I would, but here are some quick snapshots I took with my new 50mm 1.8.

My niece - She's a present opening machine.

A bottle of Sailor Jerry. Absolute win.

A photography book and some money for my new camera purchase ( 5D Mk II )
