Photo.net Holiday Gift Guide

It might seem as though your photographer friend, spouse, or relative has everything, but trust us, there is always more to buy... Here are the categories covered in the Photo.net gift guide for the 2007 Holiday Season. We've also collected some gift suggestions from our team of moderators to seed a gift ideas discussion.

Gifts for Parents & Grandparents (and Students too)

Parents and Grandparents
Has someone with a new baby been emailing you terrible photos taken with a fancy digital camera? Give your new parent or grandparent a lens that will enable him or her to take some decent pictures of the baby. Learn More »

For Soccer Moms & Dads

Sports photography is a challenge for even the best professional magazine photographer, who will build his or her craft gradually over decades. When Joey next door makes the soccer team, Joey's mom will be out there trying to replicate the results obtained by Sports Illustrated. You can help with your gift this year. Learn More »

For Nature Photographers & SCUBA Divers

Nature Photography
Know someone who has alienated all of his friends and family by asking them to pose for pictures? He probably has yet to alienate the entire animal kingdom. We've got some gift ideas for photographing the natural world, both above and under the water. Learn More »

For Nikon, Canon, & Pentax System Owners

Digital Systems
When shopping for the man or woman who has everything, it is comforting to note that there is probably not a single person on Planet Earth who owns every component of a professional digital SLR system. Your friend might have two Nikon bodies and seven lenses, but there are literally hundreds more items within the Nikon system. Ditto for Canon and Pentax. Learn More »

For a Beginning Studio Photographers

The French painter Francois Boucher said that the real world was "too green and badly lit". If your friend's photos seem to bear out Boucher's assessment, consider helping with a transition to a kind of photography where everything is within the artist's creative control. Learn More »

For Film Die-Hards

Film Photographers
Your friend doesn't want to spend the rest of his life figuring out how to use personal computers? He or she is probably still using film then! We've got a great gift idea based on a brand-new product and the simple premise that everyone looks better in black and white. Learn More »
