My brother had his 60th last April and it was a day-long affair with clay shooting in the morning and early afternoon then a party at Bisley in the evening. I shot the day and gave him a large coffee table quality book of memories that he loves.

Like Casperwb says include the recipient in the pics - inflicting your taste on somebody else may not work.

I give framed 8 x 10s as gifts, and I have always had positive comments.

I try to ensure that the recipient is included in the photo.

Now, hands up everyone who isn't getting some photographic gear from father Christmas....

The only time Father Christmas came up with the goods was when I was 8 and he turned up with a Scalextric set, he's never reached those dizzy heights again ?

Nice to see we're not starting any unnecessary new threads!

You're a sassy one, SkintBrit.

May all your Christmases be properly exposed (as opposed to white).

bah!! humbug!! : )

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone has a merry holiday :).

Skinbrit- I believe there's a nice gold box under the tree for me right now :). I'll send you the box :P

Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

ps- dear santa, please bring me either a nikon p7000 or g12. Alternatively you can also nudge some people at nikon to come out with EVIL camera in Febuary.

okthnxbye

Nice to see we're not starting any unnecessary new threads! "MERRY CHRISTMAS" everyone, and if you get any strange Gold boxes under the tree next week, that you're not sure what to do with, let me know and I'll sent you the correct forwarding address for recycling -:)

Merry Chrismas everyone. I hope this year found you all well and next will be as good or better.

I want to thank you one and all, as you have given a lot of insight to this question, and as someone new to photography,
it is a question I was pondering. Great answers and good food for thought! I can see I will learn a lot here!

I just sent two large canvas prints to my parents for their birthdays. Of course they are of their grandkids, so they were excited to get them.

happy holidays!

A very Merry Christmas to all of you and a Happy New Year! Hope all of your Nikon desires come fulfilled in 2010. Here is a pic to celebrate the holidays with a bit of holiday color.

Merry Christmas everyone, hope everyone gets something good.

Hey exit here, by any chance were those elves the same ones that went on strike at Nikon's Ayuthaya factory in Thailand? haha

Merry Christmas guys and I look forward to a great 2010 with Nikon! Happy New Year as well ^_~

I'm on the job :^)

Well then I'm going to hack and crash the forum down on Xmas—and then I can use my resolution! YES! Thanks for the idea hearty ;^)

Hi AlphaSprout when you doing that hacking thing, could you maybe do some hacking on who this NikoSomeDoby is, just keep it quit we don't want Niko to know, right. He is properly already setting on that bench who knows were, so you should be safe. Have fun with that

Pete

Happy Holidays to all and may your trees surroundings be littered with Nikon goodies.

Happy Holidays to all forum member and mods!
