$100 to spend.. what do you do?

[frommrstomommy]

I've got eBay bucks coming to me tomorrow. about $100. No idea what to use it on.. they're valid all month but I can't imagine I will be able to justify adding any amount to that after just having purchased the 70-200.. so what would you buy?

You could get some filters or an inexpensive flash, yongnuo triggers ...


or my best solution .. gift them to me

What do you need?

Spend extra $10 and buy this for your husband. General Imaging GE X600 WH 14MP Digital Camera 26x Opitcal Zoom 2 7 inch LCD | eBay

Well, personally, if I were YOU, I'd only spend about $25 of it, and I'd send the rest of it to this wonderful person on TPF who uses a staring Osprey as their avatar…

Gosh, I could use up $100 on Ebay so fast, it'd make your head spin! Another Yongnuo speed light, maybe a better/bigger/different soft box or umbrella or diffuser that I don't have. Or a good CPL filter. Or--which I actually DID buy on Ebay not too long ago--a variable ND filter. Bought it for sunsets and smooth water effect sort of uses, but have also discovered that it has a place in portrait work, when you have no option but to shoot in midday sun and don't have reflectors, or umbrellas or stuff like that with you.

Oh, I HAVE reflectors, and umbrellas. But I didn't have them with me, because I'd had no plans to be taking pictures of people in the midday sun (or any other sun that day, actually). It was just a casual family gathering and then someone wanted some pictures...

 

[tecboy]

Oh yeah, just pop-up in my mind. Spend money on custom frame, and frame your best and most proud photo.

"What would you buy?"

Me? I would buy another cheap studio light and a modifier.

Not that I actually need it, just want it. No studio, no model, no time.

Consider getting a faster CF or SD card?

I'll second the triggers. Inexpensive and worth every penny.

She only has 30 days to spend it.
they prefer that she overspends so they get more revenue.
