Camera accessories have always been an interesting part of the photographic solutions for certain problems or situations. (See the pun?)
Current digital cameras and software take care of many things we used to have to do a lot of head scratching and mechanical engineering for. Things like fill flash ratios, panorama stitching, exposure or focus for tricky subjects, etc... But, we still find ourselves wanting something to take care of a photo thought we have.
Such as... Ever see a great shot of lightning bolts? We could take chances (as has been done for years) with anticipating and using really long shutter speeds. Or, we could use a new (ish) product such as a lightning trigger! Available for a variety of cameras and brands. Check compatibility with your camera.Then, set up your foreground or background subject as the storm comes in, sit back, and shoot. Use safety precautions when shooting in foul weather.

Low cost underwater housings can enable us to get some nice pics at colorful vacation spots. Yes, $130 is low cost when you consider what a hard housing or true underwater system can set us back (hint: hundreds to thousands of $). Many subjects on a coral reef or in a lagoon are shallow enough to make an item like this very usable. Besides, much deeper and we need supplemental lighting to combat the color shift of deep water photography. If lightning is your underwater lighting, it's time get out of the pool!
