Gifts for the somewhat serious photographer

Everyone has a budding photographer on their shopping list. Here are a couple ideas for them. These pocket-sized white balance cards help fix yellow or blue color problems in photos, especially with cheaper lights. Great for photographing people, but they're also useful for still shots.





If they photograph models at all, or even just the family or kids, a good portable reflector can really help bounce light onto faces so they're not just buried in shadows. This one has several surfaces to bounce white light or gold/yellow which warms up skin tones.
