Outdoor Photographer - November 2016

Holiday Gift Guide
READY-TO-HANG,
PROTECTED PRINTS
Give the gift of your best images professionally
printed and protected under acrylic glass.
WhiteWall’s ultraHD Photo Print Under
Acrylic Glass process uses acclimatized paper,
which minimizes laser dispersal during printing to
produce beautifully sharp, vibrant prints. These
are mounted under 2mm or 4mm of acrylic
glass, which is said to accentuate the depth and
colors of the image. Set on Aluminum Dibond
backing with an optional wall mount, this readyto-hang
image just upped the “wow” factor.
List Price: From $12. Contact: WhiteWall,

A REFINED APPROACH TO HDR
Macphun’s Aurora HDR 2017 offers a wide range of options for
HDR imaging, now with Batch Processing. A new Tone-Mapping
Engine helps keep images looking more realistic and natural by better
handling tone, contrast and details, and reducing noise. Contrast,
vibrance and warmth sliders have been added to the Adjustment
Panel, and there’s also a new Polarizing Filter, Signature Pro presets,
faster RAW processing, DNG support and more. List Price: $99.

EXTREME NEUTRAL
DENSITY
Shoot longer exposures midday in the
brightest, harshest light with the Lee
Filter 15-Stop Super Stopper. This
glass ND ilter reduces the light entering
the lens by 15 stops, making effects
like blurring the movement of water
possible any time of day. Available for
the 100mm, SW150 and Sev5n ilter
ranges. List Price: $85 (Sev5n); $150
(100mm); $175 (SW150). Contact: Lee
Filters, leeilters.com.
QUILTED LENS
PROTECTION
When you want to travel light, lens
pouches like the Tamrac Goblin
protect your glass in a day pack or
an oversized pocket. They feature
a custom quilted interior that’s
ultrasonically fused for padded
protection and a nylon exterior designed
to resist tearing or ripping. Easy access
to the lens is possible via the drawstring
enclosure. They’re available in three
colors and six sizes, accommodating
up to a 24-70mm. List Price: $12-$22.

ALL-WEATHER
CAMERA COVER
A waterproof camera cover is a smart
accessory to have on hand year-round,
but especially in the wetter, colder
months. Peak Design’s Shell Camera
Cover defends against water, snow,
dust and abrasion with its form-itting,
stretchable design that can be used
with your camera handheld, mounted
to a tripod or stowed away in a bag.
Both ends of the cover have drawstring
closures for access to the viewinder
and controls that cinch tightly for
storage. Available in three sizes. List
Price: From $39. Contact: Peak
