Shutter Sisters

wish list for december

By

Hooray! It’s a brand new month and you know what that means. It’s time for a new word for our December One Word Project. And since it happens to be the season of holiday magic, why not Wish a little? Or a lot.

That being said, we present you a Shutter Sisters’ holiday Wish List full of cool gifts and gadgets (for every budget) for the photo enthusiast in all of us:

Stephanie is wishing for a 30mm f/1.4 lens and a Funky Camera neck strap.

Jen is wishing for The Super-Wide Conversion Lens for her Lensbaby Composer and a Polaroid Camera of any kind (with film).

Irene is wishing for a print from chocokat and one from Alicia Bock and the book Little Italy by Jenifer Altman.

Paige is wishing for a Mod camera neck strap.

Kristin is wishing for the Golden Half Green Trees Edition half frame toy camera.

Meredith is wishing for a GetReadySetGo messenger bag for gear and a mountain of film for her Kodak Brownie Hawkeye.

Maile is wishing forthe Fuji instax-camera.

Chris is wishing for the same Fuji instax-camera as Maile.

Sarah is wishing for a hand-knit, generously cushioned dSLR camera cozy in robin egg blue (know where she can find one?) and a super secret spy lens from Photojojo.

Alex is wishing for the Mona Kuhn: Native book, Polaroid 600 film & 120 film for her Holga and the Polaroid Frames from Photojojo.

And while we’re wishing…here’s a few more wish-worthy ideas for Shutter Sisters everywhere:

The Shutter Sisters Flash Bulb Necklace (with the brand new sparkly chain!)

The Dreamy Diana lens at Photojojo

Digital Mini Case at Delight.com

Kirsty Takes a Bow (it might not be a book about photography but there are lots of amazing photos in it which is good enough for us!)

  4. I’m really wishing my husband won’t spend much money on me this year – things are a bit tight – but if he’s got a secret stash somewhere I don’ t know about I would love a way to get my flash off camera.

  7. Another great one word challenge! I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

    As for me… I’m wishing for a Nikon d90. I wanted to buy it myself, but I’m only a third of the way there and I’m buying a house so I won’t be adding much money into that fund for awhile. I’m still wishing though.

  8. Right now I’m just wishing to find a good camera repair shop to help us figure out what’s going on with our dslr!

    And I must say I’m enjoying this chilly Texas weather!

  11. I’m really hoping for a flip camcorder this year, but mostly I want to take moments each day to enjoy this Christmas w/ my family.

  12. all great wishes! Other than wishing I could win today, my wishes include a 50 mm 1.4 for my a-300, a Rapid R strap, and a wireless remote.

  13. I’m wishing for a Lensbaby, but mostly just for a safe and joyful holiday for friends and family.

  17. One of my wishes came true for my birthday last week (50mm 1.4) and now my wish is for more know-how and practice! Where can I get that? 🙂

  21. I’ve been telling my husband not to get me anything because there are some minor renovations we want to do to our house and I’ve virtuously said that we should put our money there this year, but just between us, I’m thinking wistfully (wishfully?) of Photoshop CS4. Maybe if I get some sales at my Etsy shop… I HAVE to finish the calendars so I can post them!

    Who wished for more time?…

  24. that photojojo site is total cool-io — fuji instax camera and that dreamy diana lens (i don’t think em falconbridge has been making her awesomo camera straps lately)…

  30. A Canon 7D! Would be a dream gift but I am sure other priorities will take over this one. Need to be practical these days but I can still dream!

  33. i recently got the 30mm f1/4 lens for my birthday (and love it!), so now i’m wishing for a nice cushy stylish bag to tote it around in. and the handknit cozy sounds excellent. i may have to work on that one!

  34. "wish" what a perfect word.
    hmmmm i would also love some pola film. please santa. 🙂

    love that sweet ticket in the photo ever so much!

  36. I’d love a camera bag with space enough for a few kids things — I hear that’s coming soon:)

  37. I would love to have a Tamron lens for my Canon AE-1. I’m going old school and using 35mm, but I do use a digital all the time also. A digital SLR would be wonderful, when the prices are more affordable for me… 🙂

  38. I am wishing for another year of great family times to capture and a bit more skill to do so! 🙂

  41. I really want either a zoom or prime lens for distance… only, I don’t know what’s best since I’m new at the SLR thing (so it probably won’t be wrapped under the tree since *I* don’t even know). There’s always music and books, but even those I don’t know what I want *most." Haha. Love the word choice this month!!

  42. Okay – my wish list is rather long, but I will start with the mac daddy. Canon 5d Mark II… After that everything else is just the gravy!

  43. I would love The Fuji Instax Instant Cam. I miss my Polaroid and this seems like a decent replacement.

  44. one wish, for me, would be the Nikon 60mm 2.8 ED Micro-Nikkor lens. This lens would make the perfect portrait and macro lens. I am trying to start my own photography business and I am lacking all the major equipment necessary to facilitate the venture 🙂

  46. I’m trying to take it easy on the pockets of my loved ones this year, so all of my "wish list" items are inexpensive and mostly knitting or reading related. I do have a huge photography wishlist, where everyone on it costs $1500+. LOL

    When I’m not working, I’m going to click and drool over every single link above!

  49. I’m wishing that Polaroid Type 55 was under the tree, and next to my menorah ( yep i celebrate both )
    Also wishing for a nikon remote shutter release that works with my nikon D300, as I hear some of them don’t.
    How about more 4×5 quickload film, and that diana camera with a pinhole and some 120 film for that one.
    I love dreaming and I love when dreams come true. And they do. They really do!

  50. I would love a Super Spy lens from Photojojo and some cool presets to use with the beta version of Lightroom. Oh, and a new camera strap and/or fashionista camera bag that’s pretty cushy! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

  52. Wishing for many things…including:
    sb900 Flash
    Lensbaby composer
    a new 17" macbook pro
    A seat at one of the many great workshops happening in ’10
    the time to really work on my portfolio

  54. Am wishing for a 24-70 lens and a new camera bag, the small red leather Jill E bag! That is just a couple of things I want or wish for this Christmas!

  57. Well, one of my wishes arrives tomorrow (from B&H, no less); a Canon 430EXII! I have my B&H catalog all marked up so hubby can pick and choose! That gift card would come in handy!

    Happy Holidays!

  60. I’m wishing for a trip somewhere special with my girlfriends. Time to play, time to shoot for fun, time to enjoy a meal and a glass of wine without my kids wanting something from me. I wish my husband would come up with that idea himself… hmmm ;-0

  62. Among other things, I’m wishing for the Dreamy Diana Lens, a Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet, a 52mm circular polarizing filter, a bunch of books including Hot Shots, and those Mod camera straps are Wow! I just added the Sam to my list.

  67. I’m wishing for the Tamron 60mm macro lens and a new camera strap. There’s a possibility the strap might show up, but not much hope for the lens this year!

  70. I’m wishing to decide on which camera I want as I plan to upgrade in January (or February, depending on paychecks!). I was originally going to go with the Canon T1i as I’ve used Canon since I started getting serious about photography. But as I just recently started working with our local newspaper, I’m using Nikon and… well… I may be a convert. I’m confused, though, as I spent a lot of time on my previous research for Canon and now I have had to start all over. I’m using the Nikon D200 at work which makes it kind of pointless to just upgrade my personal camera to the D300.

    But as for under the Christmas tree, I’ll probably ask my husband for a Nikon remote that works with the work camera as I REALLY wanted (as in ONE gift) was on one of Malie’s bags but they don’t seem to be live yet. I’ll have to wait until next Christmas. 🙁

  71. I think I’m wishing for a Tamron 18-275 lens for my Canon. But I can’t really decide!
    I am only recently discovering that photography is a drug. I’d love the gift card to help fund my habit.

  72. oh, I also wish that this website provided more photography tips. I see all these wonderful photos and I want to ask — how did you get this? what did you do with it afterwards to get that awesome effect??? I feel like I could learn so much, instead of just enjoying the pretty pictures…

  73. I want some cozy knee high socks, a new denim skirt, a 2010 planner, and, at the very top of my list….for my "foster-to-adopt son" to become "son".

  76. i am wishing for more opportunities to capture the magic of the faces i love so dearly. i struggle to get the right picture – the one that makes my heart swell with gratitude for the amazing people i am blessed to have in my life. i need to make more time to do that – it gives me such joy.

    and of course a new lens wouldnt go amiss.

  77. The Canon 7D, thank you. And a new camera bag (M’s of course), tripod, another battery and more memory cards, several lenses, sleep, world peace and my son back home. 🙂

    Merry Christmas!
