Gift Ideas for Landscape Photographers | 2024

So, you have a friend, colleague or family member who is super into landscape photography and you need to get them an appropriate gift. You’ve come to the right place. We’ve put together some nifty gift suggestions that your recipient will actually need/want. 

This list contains products that are under £100. In some cases, you may need to do some festive detective work and find out what kit they have e.g., what lenses they have so you can get the correct filter size or whether they already have remote shutter release. As always, if you need any further help, you can give us a call, drop us an email or DM us. And, you can also check out our guides to the best cameras and lenses for landscape photography!

Every photographer needs more memory and this SD card is designed to capture high-resolution still images and videos and is compatible with almost every camera (with the exception of some very new cameras but the chances are, this will be suitable). This one has a large capacity, a fast read/write speed and should cater to any landscape photographer.

Of course, there are many other options that have varying capacities and speeds, all of which you can check out here.

This is where that sneaky festive detective work will come into play - depending on the lens, it will have a different filter thread size. If you find out what lens they use and still have some issues, be sure to give us a call or drop us a message and we’ll give you a hand!

Polariser filters are a must for landscape photographers. These filters help make the sky, foliage, and buildings more rich and vibrant. They also remove reflected light from a scene e.g., glare from glass windows, reflective surfaces or water. It makes for a cleaner more contrasted shot.

Perhaps your loved one already has lens filters? There are a lot of filters out there in all shapes and sizes so gifting a handy and protective lens filter pouch could be the next logical step. This particular standalone case offers excellent protection, and quick access as well as easily fitting in your camera bag or even on a belt.

Here’s another one where you’ll at least need to know what brand of camera they’re using. But this is a very useful piece of kit that is ideal for photographing landscapes. You can get wired or wireless but both offer the same thing (wireless being even more versatile though), allowing you to take a photo without physically pressing the camera’s shutter button. 

You’d be surprised how much movement pressing the shutter button on your camera makes and this can ruin long exposures and other types of images. Using a remote shutter release means that your camera will be as steady as possible when taking the photo as well as allowing you to set up your shot and work from a distance. You can find all our remote shutter releases here.

An organised photographer is a happy photographer. When you’re out in the wilderness and getting ready to set up the perfect landscape shot, you don’t want to be humbling around looking for the correct cable, SD card or spare battery. No, that would be agonising. This nifty little bag is specifically designed to help you organise your cables and accessories. It seems simple and that’s because it is.

Cleaning fluid and cleaning pads. Your kit needs to be clean if you want to take the best photographs and these two products will sort any lens right out. It’s likely your landscape photographer gift recipient will have been caught in the rain, snow and/or mud and using this, they will be able to clean their lenses to near-perfect condition. 

There are lots of videos out there but you just need to dispense several drops onto a clean, folded PEC-PAD and lightly wipe the lens surface in a single direction. Refold the pad to expose a clean side and re-wipe as necessary.

Protecting your kit is a priority for any photographer, but especially landscape photographers who are often exposed to the elements. There are tonnes of lens cases and bags out there so if you don’t know which lenses your recipient has, have a look at a Domke wrap. It can be wrapped around lenses, tools, or anything else that will fit inside. They come in various shapes and sizes and you can’t have too many of them!

If your gift recipient is just starting out, getting a card reader can streamline image processing. This one in particular is the ultimate card reader for transferring large files to your computer in no time at all. It can transfer images and videos quickly and it accepts CF Type I and II (UDMA), SD (all classes), microSD, Memory Stick, MicroDrive, MMC and XD - no festive detective work needed here!

An external hard drive is an essential part of any photographer’s kitbag. The worst thing is when you lose photos due to card failure, laptops breaking or weather-related accidents. An external hard drive allows you to back up your photos while on the road or even just at home, and this one, as the name suggests, is rugged. We learned that it can take a beating. 

There are a lot of options out there but this one offers a large 1TB capacity and should be a go-to for landscape photographers.

Perhaps you can go down the book route. This book is aimed at beginners and is an easy-to-follow guide to basic skills and techniques of landscape photography. It’s split into six main sections: Basics, Lessons, Revision, Project, Analysis and Progress. It is sure to get any aspiring landscape photographer off the ground.
