Shutter Mike Photography

OK, so you waited until the last minute to buy the photographer in your life a Christmas present.  No need to panic.  Presents can still be had right up to the last minute and no one but yourself will be any the wiser.  Here are some great last minute gift ideas for photographers.

1) Photography magazines – a magazine subscription is the perfect gift for the procrastinator to give.  Not only can you order it online right up to the last minute, but it keeps coming all year long reminding the recipient of your generosity month after month.  Here are a few suggestions to send to the mail boxes of the photographers on your list:

Popular Photography – filled with tips, product reviews, great photography and advice for photographers at every level Popular Photography is a great choice all the way around.

B&W: Black & White Magazine – If you want to go with a bit more of an artistic magazine, B & W is great way to go.

Shutterbug – Like Popular Photography, Shutterbug is a diverse photography magazine with everything from tips to product reviews.  It is geared more towards the advanced amateur photographer.

2) The Gift of Sharing – Most digital photographers I know are using Flickr now to share their photos and view the photos of their fellow photographers.  But not everyone has a Flickr Professional account.  But what does Pro get you that the free account doesn’t?

• Unlimited photo uploads
• Unlimited storage
• Ad-free browsing and sharing
• And then some…

3) The Old Standby– When all else fails there are always gift cards.  With everything under the sun Amazon is a great option for gift cards.  A photographer can get everything from the camera to accessories to books to camera bags depending on how generous you are with your gift card.  With amazon you can send an actual physical gift card by mail (with free one day shipping) or go for the email option or even one that is delivered via Facebook.
