Canon 5D :shrug:
A new motorbike, season tickets for Liverpool FC, A weekend in Las Vegas or Monte Carlo? Or on the other hand some new kit would be nice :)

He's ok for camera body, has far too expensive taste in lenses, (I could borrow one and then give it back to him gift wrapped! :D) any cheap accessories? :shrug:
Depends on where you live, but something like this?:nuts:

Depends on your budget Ladybird :) I got Dave a driving day (for Xmas) which turned out to be a fab day. He was like a kid in a sweetshop :lol:
Well two ideas I have for my other half [might even let him take the D70s with him] are either a balloon flight voucher, or a passenger flight in one of those bi-planes.

I bought my other half a flying lesson for christmas a few years back, & she thoroughly enjoyed it, he even let her fly over the severn bridge & then over our house!!:woot:
Not sure if I would like that though, because wearing one of those headsets would mess my hair up!!:lol:

Thanks everyone, some really great ideas!
(and maybe I will consider getting Joe something like a Lap-top, He already got one so he would hopefully give it back!!!! :D :D :D )
Hmmm! for me personally ... a day in the studio being the pita ... I mean the assistant, to a top photographer.
Failing that, a lighting course ... probably a 1-1 where I wouldnt have to feel embarrassed infront of other people trying to work my way around the Dyscalulia while working out the settings :embarrassed:
But Im sure Joe would be happy with whatever you choose for him LB, especially if its accompanied by a drop of fine wine and a bit of Agent Provocateur ;)

Yeah, there's a good idea that never fails. Treat yourself to some new undies and tell him that's his pressie :D

:lol: nice one! but that would mean offering ME?!!!! :exit: :lol:
............. anyway, dressing up is usually wasted on a man, a bow is a lot cheaper! :D
I don't know the chap (well nor you for that matter), but since you're both into photography, why not go on a trip together in the mountains with accommodation near a nice lake (even a small one).
You should be able to get some nice golden hour shots there and then go and have nice a dinner :)
how's about a weekend away somewhere with loads of photo opportunities, there are plenty in the Uk so it wouldn't have to break the bank,

I not even sure what this is? have asked Joe to read thread and hint! thanks for suggestion!
Have a look at here:
http://www.my-volito.com/volito/intro.asp?lang=en
It's one of the cheapest tablets from Wacom, but it should be nice for starters :)
In short, you use it instead of a mouse to do your selections, painting and drawing like you'd do with a real pen/pencil.

This may help you further LB ... :shrug: ... Wacom Review (http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=17586&highlight=wacom)
A superb bit of kit for a very reasonable outlay imgo ... :D
:p
Then again, you could dress him up in (your?) thongs and make him do some squats :lol:
I guess you'll pass on the thongs idea then? ;)
Ladybird

I was waiting to see if anyone else was going to comment on that one, but Joe in my thongs? Who's birthday is this!!?!?!?! :lol: :lol: :lol:
