For this year's Christmas buying guide we spoke to our Burgess Hill Store Manager, Mike, to see what's been a hit with customers throughout the year.
Whether you're looking for inspiration for yourself, or you're considering very subtly forwarding this blog on to your spouse’s social media timeline, we’ve put together a cross-section of useful accessories that will appeal to the photographer in us all.
The Crumpler Quick Delight Toploader 300 Blue is a great all-rounder that is always a popular choice with our customers. Perfect for mid-sized DSLRs, Bridge Cameras and Mirrorless cameras, you’ll also be able to stash your spare memory cards without any issue.

Not sure what bag is best? Our handy guide shows you what to look out for.
Keep all of your cards secure with the Think Tank Pixel Pocket Rocket. As well as securely holding your spare memory cards, a cardholder also encourages you to store all your spares in one place – invaluable to anyone who has ended up searching desperately for a spare card before a shoot.

Not only is it important to keep your camera clean to take better photos (you don’t want to be removing fingerprints in Lightroom), it of course helps protect your investment by keeping it in good shape.

The Nanguang light pad is powerful yet versatile – the cold-shoe allows it to sit on top of the camera, or you can attach it to a light stand. Adjusting the power input is easy, as is changing the colour temperature - allowing you to take control of the continuous lighting on offer.
The Luxpad 22 comes as a kit which includes a battery pack (and the option to also run on 6x AA batteries). For shooting on the go this will make a real difference!
£83.99 (normally £99.00) Find out more

The beauty of photography is that you are working with a blank canvas – but even the most creative photographer out there needs the odd flash of inspiration.
If you’re not sure what kit the photographer in your life needs, then this is a safe bet! You can see the whole range of books here.
It’s no secret that 35mm film has made a massive comeback in recent years, and this is no flash in the pan – shooting on film offers a unique photography experience in a way that that digital simply cannot match.
Enthusiasts have been waiting for the best part of a decade for Ektrachrome to be available again – and we’re pleased to finally have stock of this beautiful colour slide film again!
£15.00 - Find out more
While we’re looking at film, we also can’t ignore Ilford – famous for their black and white film, each film have their own charms – HP5 is our personal favourite thanks to its contrast and surprisingly fine grain.
£6.99 Find out more
Why not take it one step further and learn how to develop your own film with the Paterson Film processing kit.
And finally...
What better gift to give than that of inspiration? The joy of photography is that you can never stop learning. Our range of School of Photography courses cover a range of topics, and are run by experts within their field.
All courses come in a presentation box so can still be eagerly opened on Christmas morning!
