Photography related Christmas presents, some ideas.

If your into photography or your other half is here's a few present ideas for some things if they don't already have them

A tripod.  The trick here is to get the balance right, you want it light enough to be carried around but sturdy enough not to wobble about in a slight breeze, remember there might be a few grands worth of camera on the top, you don't want it falling over or collapsing. Put the tripod all the way up in the shop and tap the top sideways, if it wobbles look for something stronger.

A  "standard" lens.  This is considered to be a 50mm lens for film and full frame cameras and a 30mm or 35mm lens for crop sensor cameras.  These lenses are usually high quality and cheap, they are also usually "fast" lens like f1.8 or similar, so handy in low light.  The 50mm 1.8 makes a good portrait lens on a crop sensor camera too. Usually around the £60-100 price range

A rain cape, these range in price from about £2 upwards, these are pretty much a nylon or plastic sleeve that goes over the camera and keeps the worst of the rain off.  Note these are not fully waterproof, so use with care.

A waterproof compact camera, these start around the £40 mark and go up from there. These give the photographer the chance to take pics in places he/she would never risk their proper camera, is the sea or under a waterfall perhaps, or more lightly out in the pouring rain.

A flashgun, if your buying for a partner you'll need to check here what sort of flashgun is needed, theres lots of different makes and options.  Sadly these are not cheap, your looking at about £50-60 as a starting price, but if your looking at a top of the range model your going to be paying a few hundred quid easily.

Spare batteries and memory cards, these can be fairly cheap and make good stocking fillers if you shop around online, but do check which type of card and battery is needed, they're all different, Canon is famously awkward with different batteries in different models for example.

Special lenses, if the photographer likes taking pics of certain things he/she might need a special lens, a long telephoto for sports or wildlife, a macro lens for close up's of bug and flowers (note a proper macro lens, many telephoto lens have the word macro in the title, a true macro lens will focus at half life size or closer)  A perspective shift lens if the like architectural photography.  You will need to check these as some photographers have preference for make and model, and the photographer will usually have a better idea of he/she actually needs.
Note the above lens ideas are not cheap, the start at a few hundred quid and go way way up from there, you can pay thousands for one lens.
