CabanSail

AnimalRights

My female friend #1 got me an i-phone and a pair of Cat type Runners.
Female friend #2 got me 2 t-shirts, 2 ear-rings and a pair of asics runners.
my parents are dead so not much in the line there....

Phototoxin

I want to do more PEOPLE based stuff ... street...portraits... or something... I like nature but people are quite emotive!

Red Sleeping Beauty

Satan brought me capitalism.

Buzz Lightyear

Does the 5DmkI I opened (weeks) early count?

artyeva

Santa (you know who you are:p) gave me funds towards my ''photgraphy fund'' which I shall be puttin' towards a remote control for me camera, some printing and maybe some more memory. Santa rocks

ThOnda

5D + 50/1.8 opened two weeks in advance.

Toto Wolfcastle

Santa brought me a Nikon D40. I really want to get into photography so I'm delighted!

They had me convinced that I was getting a voucher. I think it was me walking around telling my dad that I wanted to be a photographer just like him that swung it. He's convinced he's my hero now!

He has used it more than me so far though. I think he got a bit overexcited. Once he opened his new tripod he forgot about the camera.

Looking forward to posting here more!

To a n00b like me anything will do!

Seems pretty cool so far, and from what I've read here it's great to start off with.

crazydaize

No new gear for me, although I wasn't expecting any.

I gave the gift of a Canon 450D though. Because Canon are best it's a fantastic camera.

And I gave lots of photos and photo albums. People will think that I have a one track mind!!

stcstc

Rich Santa (aka godfather) gave me a tripod.

My poor father is vicious. He's going around saying that his is definitely better!

Considering that as the kids were heading down to see what santa had left, I grabbed my camera off my bedside locker, the strap got caught in a handle, which resulted in me dropping my camera and snapping off my 18-55 kit lens :mad:, you make me drool at your new lens.

New campaign for equal rights and equal pressies from santa !!!!!

Were you not warned that whinging and moaning are black marks in Santa's book?

@whyulittle - Straps are essential:eek: it's how you use them;)

Butterscotch

Santa gave me the Boards image book and a Collins book to teach me how to take pictures.:p

No - Waking up with a hang over is bad.

Buzz Lightyear

I fully agree with Thimbleful that straps are essential, its bedside lockers that shoud should be carful with along with wooden floors .... take it from me its bad news to combine all three at high speed.

In saying all that I've just superglued the broken lugs back to the lens body. Lets see if does what it says on the tin. At least until my neighbour (nikon repairs) re-opens after christmas.

Gonzovision

Got myself a Nikon D40 and I'm loving it:p

Try taking the lens cap off.

:P I got that far. They arent quite totally black, auto levels in PS brings out a lot of detail. I think it's because the SD card I was using couldn't keep up with burst mode.

Lady_North

My darling hubby got me a Canon EOS 50D. (Have 350) Can't wait to try it outside. Took lots of pics of the christmas tree but want to get outside......

City-Exile

Got another book about understanding light.
