WHAT DID YOU GET FROM SANTA? :D

Not a lot...:)

Like to take this oppurtunity to wish all members and guests a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :thumbs:
 
I got the best present ever, we are going to Cuba on the 29th of this month, although another lens woud have been nice. Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year. Thank you all for the help and support this year :wave:
 
Nothing for me this year, but to me every day is Christmas Day. Well, I got meself a new laptop back in June, then the D40 in July, then a brand new LCD telly in August, a new "knockabout camera" in the form of a Fuji S8000 in October and a replacement used car in November. Imagine if I waited and had all that in one go for today! :bonk:
Actually, I told a lie . . . my ladyfriend in Hackney has got me a new r/c helicopter! But I have to wait until January to pick it up. :nono: :shake: :bang: :D
 
Had a present yesterday, in the form of 3 numbers in the Irish Lottery, so looks like a new camera for the New Year.:D

I’m off to spend today with my mum later, and last night, a text from a friend at work, inviting me round for dinner on Boxing Day. :)
I think that is a real ‘present’, and a great gesture, for this time of year.
 
Happy Xmas to all,
well i had a nice pair of james bond socks, but i've got to wait for my pressies until i get home on the 29th, as i'm stuck on a rig in the cold north sea until then, am hoping to have got a 5in1 reflector and the david noton dvd, can't wait!
hope you all have a better day than i'm having :)
cheers

I personally got a nice bottle of Scotch, some little photography related gadgets, and some money towards the D700 + MB-D10 + 24-70 F/2.8 combo that I bought a short while ago :D

Loving it!!!
 
Got a gift voucher for a falconry at Dalhousie Castle, looking forward to this and getting some good photos (I hope), assuming it's ok to take photos there, awaiting a email from them to confirm.
 
Santa spoiled me this year :)

Got a Set of elinchrom skyports, a right angle viewfinder and a remote timer trigger. I am over the moon :)
 
A Happy Christmas morning to you all!

Good morning and happy Christmas to all.
Santa's brought me my first proper camera - a Sony A200. Battery is on charge so in a few hours, I might be taking my first pics :D
But Santa has also brought me a bottle of Talisker (my favourite whiskey) and a bottle of Glenfiddich so in a few hours, the first pics might not be very good :shrug:
 
Will have to wait until I have finished work to find out what I have got... roll on 17:30
 
Merry christmas all

Santa ( The mother in law ) got me a nifty fifty and a TP strap and I will be getting a vivarium set-up and a chameleon in the next week or so from the better half.

Now that's a Christmas pressie! :)

I'm chuffed to mintballs, I got a Bob Carlos Clarke book that's rather rare and took several months to track down apparently. Only problem is, it's a bit rude so I can't read it in front of the Mother in Law so it will have to wait till tomorrow. But then the best pressie is the time to appreciate it. :)
 
Im working today so I dont get my prezzies off family till tonight.
My missus gave me presents last night though, I got the book understanding exposure, a compact flash memory card, A pile of designer undies (sick of wearing asdas own hehe) some marvel comics stuff... which considering i`m a dc fan wasnt her best move :D

Now I just have to hope that my family took all the hints and got me the sony a200 camera otherwise this book and memory card are useless.
 
Happy Christmas to everyone.

I got CF card from my wife.

I bought myself 3 flashes and a complimentary set of skyports for myself as pressies.
