3. Conveyable Hard Drive / Image Tank. These battery-operated devices are pocket-sized and will copy the pictures from a camera chip and save a double on the hard drive. Some of them also have a nice preview screen and Tv output so you can enjoy the photos as a slide show. They act as a hard drive when plugged into a laptop. They are perfect for on-location shots or long vacations where you don't have your computer with you. (0-0)

4. Someone else Lens! If your photographer has a singular Lens Reflex (Slr) camera, then pick their brain about lenses they have and want. This is one area where photographers are very picky, so may want to go as far as having them narrate the definite make and model. If you want to go "all out", get them to tell you about their dream lens - it's the one that they precisely want, (but probably don't need), and won't buy for themselves. (0-00)

5. Filters for lenses. There are a range of filters or modifiers that can be put on lenses. You'll want to know what size lens (measured in millimeters), and what they have or want. A consolidate ideas are: a circular polarizer (which reduces glare and deepens sky colors), close-up lenses (to magnify and get close to small stuff), and neutral-density filters (which sell out light in some or all of the image). (-0)

6. Monopod and swivel. A monopod is like a walking stick with a thread on the top. It's a great stand-in for a tripod when you can't use it. good even, get a swivel head for the top of the monopod and your photographer can rotate the camera from horizontal to vertical and still get the benefits of the stability of a monopod. (Monopod: -0; Swivel: -0)

7. Inexpensive waterproof point and shoot digital camera. Regardless of their main brand, having a small pocket-sized waterproof digital camera is great for everyday use, scouting locations, and the spontaneous shoot opportunities. These cameras have great resolution and make nice images; some even shoot video. Waterproof means you can swim with it, shoot in the rain, and leave it in your sweaty pants pocket all day. (0-0)

8. Subscription to online photography forum or training. There are some great pay sites on the net. Digital Wedding Forum is tailored to new professionals as well as seasoned wedding and portrait photographers. Web Photo School is great for studying the fundamentals of photography and editing. Find one that matches their interests and they will have hours of online studying and enjoyment. (0-0/yr)

9. Subscription to photography magazine. There are many good magazines out there. You may want to consider going to a good book store and picking up one copy of several different magazines with a note attached that you'll buy a subscription to their beloved one. That way they get to check out many publications and you'll be sure that they will precisely enjoy the subscription. (-)

10. Destination Vacation. Ok, this one may cost you some time and money, but as long as you're inpatient and let your photographer stop and shoot the flowers, you'll both have a great time and they will precisely appreciate the opportunity to travel and shoot. ($cheap-$not cheap)

11. Photo Sharing Gift Certificate. If they already use a beloved online site or local lab, get them a gift card or certificate. Otherwise, check out the best stores and sites and pick one to load up a starter list or gift card. ($you pick)

12. Make a stock from their work. My wife once made me a calendar from some of my images and I loved it. Think about how you could highlight their work. Check out some of my other articles on creative ways to display or use photographs. (-0)

13. Hook them up with a mentor. Find out who they admire in the photographic world, and arrange for them to meet them. Or, try to get a book or video of theirs signed or personalized. Best case, see of their mentor would bring them in for training or some coaching session. ($large range)

14. Gift certificate to a framing shop. You can never have too many framed prints. (-0)

15. Gift card to major photo store. either it's your local store or one of the large ones like Adorama or Beach Camera, your photographer will find some great stuff to buy. (-0)

16. Gaffer's Tape. Black tape that won't leave a residue like duct tape. It's pricey but it's great stuff. (/roll)

17. Camera case or backpack. As they get more stuff, they will need more or larger camera bags. Or roller cases or bags for lights and other stuff. (-100)

18. Flash bracket for camera. These are also a bit personal to fit their needs, but if they shoot with external flash, a bracket may be great for their needs. If they don't have an external flash, that may also be a good idea. Make sure you get their camera specifics for the flash and bracket. (Bracket: 0-300; Flash: 0-0)

19. High-end printer. There are some truly marvelous printers for amateurs and professionals. Some will print on large size paper and create output rivaling the large labs. Variations on this theme are paper samplers, note card stock, and blend printer-scanners. (Printer: 0-00)

20. Slide Show software. Who doesn't want to watch slick slide presentations with music? Does your photographer make or sell slide shows yet? ProShow Gold is a great start, and Proshow Producer is even better. (-0)

21. Color Calibration. Every monitor is different. It is primary to be able to see true colors on your monitors. These devices will calibrate screens and sometimes even printers and other devices to known settings so the color seen on the screen is accurate. (0-0)

22. Photographer's Vest. Yes, very nerdy, but also very functional. (-0)

23. Camera clothing. Weather protective covers for cameras will help in a drizzle or other inclement weather. Waterproof housings allow the camera to be used underwater. Blimps will sell out the shutter sound to allow use in very quiet situations. These are practice fit to camera and sometimes lenses so be careful to pick the right products. (-0)

24. Find them a gig. Use your network and affect to get them a photographic opportunity that they would love to do. This is good for starter photographers - professionals may have different ideas. For more ideas, check out my record on 10 Great Ways to Grow as a professional Photographer.

25. A New Body. Camera body that is. If they have an Slr, consider buying a double body or one model up, if they take the same lenses. Having the flexibility of a backup camera or two lenses ready immediately will make your photographer smile. (00-00).

26. Photography Books. There are great "how-to" books about every type of photography. Or consider getting them books on business or technology such as Photoshop or web design. Or pick up some coffee-table books with great photography that they can use for inspiration. (-)

27. Blank Dvds. Many photographers back up work on Dvds, and use them for slide shows. They'll appreciate having extras. Don't forget jewel cases if they use them. (-)

28. Dvd/Cd label printer. These are pretty specialized devices. They will allow the user to print any image on a special Dvd or Cd. If they present Dvds to anyone, this may be a great item for them. Note that some newer printers will also print directly on these same Dvd or Cds. (0-0).

29. Proof Books or albums. If they print lots of proofs, don't hide them away in a box. Get them several albums so they can display them and use them to show others. There are some neat "self-stick" albums that let you press the print on an adhesive background and create a very professional album. (-0)

30. More Power! This can be lithium Aa batteries for those flashes and point and shoots, extra batteries for their camera model, Conveyable batteries to run their lighting, and extension cords and power strips for all of their electronic toys. You can never have too many cords! (-0)

How do you pick the right gift? You can print this and leave it out where your photographer will see it and get the hint and maybe circle a few things. You can ask them to build a "wish list" on one of the beloved online merchants such as Amazon. Or, you can have one of their associates pick their brain on your profit and record back.

To save some money, check out sites like eBay, Craigslist and other areas where citizen may be selling items. Also check out local camera stores for consigned or used equipment.

In any case, enjoy choosing and presenting one of these gifts to your photographer. They will appreciate the time and effort you spent!

How Photography Has Changed Over the Past 200 Years

Taking pictures throughout one's life has been a part of American culture for over a hundred years now. The camera was first introduced in the United States in the early 1800s and was commercialized later in the century. From the time it was first put into the American shop until now, the camera and the technology of the camera has changed significantly. Also, with the camera, the items that hold the photographs have changed significantly as well. For example, picture frame lighting is now ready to highlight the photographs they hold and there is also such thing as a led picture light which legitimately emphasizes the photograph. The art light is something which has most legitimately changed with the technology that came with the contemporary day camera. However, it is the camera that has dictated these changes in the frames.

The first legal camera was invented in 1814. The big, clunky machine was used to take still life pictures in black and white. The photographs approximately always came out scratchy and faded looking, but for the time, this machine was very impressive. No one probably could have imagined how photography would have changed over the next 200 years.

The next big accomplishment in photography came with the introduction of color to the photographs in 1861. In fact, some photographs from the American Civil War can be found in color. It took awhile for color cameras to be facilely ready to the public, so for the next thirty years, color photographs were still a relatively new, revolutionary technology.

A turn in the way photography was done happened when the disposable camera was invented. This camera enabled travelers to take inexpensive cameras on vacations without carrying a big, high-priced one with them instead. Also, many of these disposable cameras were made to be waterproof, so population could take photographs underwater on a snorkeling or scuba diving trip.

Next in the photography world came the introduction of the digital camera. This made it so that photographs could be taken and then loaded into the computer to be sent to population via the internet or they could be sent to most drug shop to be developed at a exact time, regularly set by the customer. This new technology revolutionized the way population stored and used their photographs.

Finally, today there have been many new additions to the camera technology. Cell phones now have a picture-taking quality to them. Also, there is such thing as high definition photographs, which makes the picture even clearer than it already was before this digital technique. Probably the most recent thing to the world of photography is the camera that has a view on both sides of it for those who do not want to have to rely on strangers to take a picture for them and their friends. With all of these advancements advent in shorter and shorter amounts of time, it will be interesting, in the upcoming decade, to see what other changes will be made in this market.

How Photography Has Changed Over the Past 200 YearsThe Jackie Robinson Story: Ruby Dee, Minor Watson, Pat Flaherty (1950 Biography Movie) Tube. Duration : 76.83 Mins.

DVD: www.amazon.com thefilmarchive.org The Jackie Robinson Story is a 1950 biographical film starring baseball legend Jackie Robinson as himself. The film focuses on Robinson's struggle with the abuse of racist bigots as he becomes the first African American Major League Baseball player of the modern era. Even during its release in the era of racial segregation, the film received critical praise and fared well at the box office. The film begins with Robinson as a child, being given a worn-out baseball glove by a stranger impressed by his fielding skills. As a young man, he becomes a multi-sport star at the University of California, Los Angeles, but as he nears graduation, he worries about his future. His older brother Mack was also an outstanding college athlete and graduate, but the only job he could get was that of a lowly street cleaner. When America enters World War II, Robinson is drafted, serving as an athletic director. Afterward, he plays baseball with a professional African-American team. However, the constant travel keeps him away from his college sweetheart, Rae. Then one day, Brooklyn Dodgers scout Clyde Sukeforth invites him to meet Branch Rickey, president of the Major League Baseball team. At first, Robinson considers the offer to be a practical joke, as there are no African Americans allowed in the segregated major leagues. When he is convinced that the opportunity is genuine, he and Rickey size each other up. After thinking over Rickey's warning about the ...
