What are some cool camera accessories that I can get for Christmas?

All I have is a camera rebel eos t1i, and the kit lens that came along with it. What are some cool things I can get for Christmas that will better my photography? From camera accessories to cool props to use in photo shoots. And nothing crazy expensive either, like a fancy thousand $ lens!|||Well, Mushroom, photog prices tend to uh...mushroom...when you start adding things to your kit. Some of the cheaper things are colored lenses, tripods, camera bags, backdrops, film of course, printing paper, chemicals. After that you're into the expensive stuff that really makes a difference to your work.|||There is absolutely nothing you can buy that will make change your photos in anyway. (I don't know your work so don't take this one personally) You can barrow my department's 20D, nice set of lenses, over $3000 and umbrella kit. But you will only get very sharp, bright, noise free pictures and your dog and shoes.








If there is something you are having trouble with we can recommend a tool that will make life easier for you. When it comes to cameras if it's sunny and you have someone standing in front of you all you need is a rangefinder (with no meter) from 1937 and 100 speed film. When things get tricky you might want a long lens? wide lens? One shoe flash? Reflector? ND grad filter? Tripod? Remote?





All of these are cool accessories that can help you out but without knowing where you are having problems we can't tell what tool will help you fix it.|||I am not an expert in this category, but just some random things i am sure you are aware of.





Tripod- maybe one of those that have the bendable legs, so you can get cool shots





lol a case so it wont break, which i am sure the camera came with





an editing software whether it is one you download, buy, or use online for free





and i honestly don't know what else you could buy, just use your AMAZING skills so that way you dont have to spend a lot. HEHE
