You&#8217;ve come to the right place. I have dozens of gift recommendations with prices starting around $7.<em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(Originally posted Nov. 13, 2013. Updated Dec. 20, 2013.)<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It is the time of year that I get asked a lot of questions from people who are buying gifts for photographers, or from photographers themselves wanting to drop hints along with a convenient set of links.<\/p>\n<p>Each year I provide a series of articles about the best camera equipment, books, software, and online photo labs (and how to prepare your files to get the best results from an online photo lab).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/?p=4500\">Here are the articles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The books on the recommended book lists are selected from my own photo library. From hundreds of books I picked the ones I have found to be the most helpful. Much of the photo gear I recommend is gear that I own. The rest of the recommendations come from the sources I trust, plus the experiences I have had helping hundreds of photographers with their own photo gear on photography field trips.<\/p>\n<p>Photo equipment is pretty specialized. If you are buying photo equipment as a gift for the photographer in your life, ask for very specific hints (and send the photographer here).<\/p>\n<p>As in past years, I will be updating the articles throughout the holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Gift Giving!<\/p>\n<p><strong>PURCHASE LINKS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/jimdotycom-20\">My Photography Store<\/a>.
