If you are looking for a few little items – that won’t break the bank, but are useful to your favorite shutterbug – let me suggest a few.

The 18% Gray Card

Yes, I know it sounds like a weird gift, but trust me, your photographer will love this tool.

Here’s why:

  • Target makes it for easy auto focus lens to see
  • Heavy duty nylon will outlast cardboard by years!
  • Lightweight, makes it easy to carry
  • White reverse side allows you to custom white balance your camera settings
  • Folds neatly into a small three inch case for portability
  • Comes with a zippered carrying case to keep the card clean when not in use

This is an absolute must for the creative photographer who wants to experiment with manual settings and still get an accurate exposure.

Fits perfectly with your buget as well – only $24.95 on eBay!

Flash Diffuser

Yes, another weird little ‘must have’ accessory for a photographer. This little tool fits over the on camera pop-up flash and softens the light. This makes for very complementarly lighting for Christmas eve portait shots done around tree.

This softbox can be used to improve portrait photos, given the subject a nice diffused lighting effect.
