The Camera-Gear-Santa-Brought-Me Thread

[Andrea K]

i got an sb600 flash and a card reader for my laptop

What I got isn't specifically for photography, but it sorta is.

I needed a backpack of some sort that's big enough to fit my camera bag down inside of it, plus room for other things I'd have in a carry-on on the plane. I was drooling over one, but didn't have the money for it right now...so someone got it for me for Christmas!

Backpack

Mine is green and gray instead of black and gray though.

It just came in today, and I just got done testing it to see how much it would fit....I've got my camera bag in it, a clunky pair of Dr. Martens, a big baggy folded up hoodie...that's in the main compartment....in the second biggest compartment I have my tripod (it sticks out the top about 10" but that's ok), and I have a book in one of the outer compartments....and there's still plenty of room! I love it!

Jee Whiz! Take all that stuff out and you could put Joe inside, then y'all could split 1 plane ticket!

Pentax K100D and a memory card

Santa is never too sure what to get me when it comes to photography, so he gave me ca$h instead and told me to buy what I wanted...Santa "gave me" a new studio lighting set up (2 soft boxes, umbrella, light stands...)

Santa brought me something so amazing, I never would have expected it in a
million years. Santa brought me...

A seventy to two hundred millimeter, F two point eight, vibration reduction lens.

How ridiculous is that???

Oh yeah, by Santa, I mean my father. The wonderful man he is.

Here is a picture of her...boy do I love her so.

Wow, that will be nice to shoot with

A 67 mm R72 Hoya IR filter and a 62->67 mm ring. I've been experimenting with it but with absolutely zip success, possibly because we haven't had any sun in Ohio for the past two days and so I haven't had a good, strong light source to light the trees and sky. Plus, no one's written that guide to IR photography on this site yet ... but reminding folks of that is slightly un-Christmas-y.

[Anubis]

I got the 8Gb card I asked for... I can now take 4600 photos

Hope you all had a good time!

 

[CMan]

No camera gear, but I did get $70 from assorted relatives to put towards the future purchase of my yet-undecided-choice of DSLR.

 

[Patrice]

Spyder2 Suite, Quantum Battery1+, Quatum cable for SB800 and UK charger for Quantum. Still waiting for the UPS man to bring it.

 

[ferny]

My enlarger and all the stuff that came with it. And my DuoLab. Now just to set up the darkroom. Wil ltake over a month.

Even I didn't get myself much with regards to camera stuff this year. Two rolls of 120 film, one roll of 35mm B&W (free with a magazine) and a new Holga.
