by 2 Comments

Black Friday feels a little different this year. With many parts of the world still in various stages of lockdown, I expect many of the real-world stores won’t have queues a mile long with people rushing in to fight over cheap TVs.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t find some good deals. We’ve been looking around the web to find some of the best Black Friday deals and put them all together in a single location for you. We’ll be updating this post throughout the course of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so keep checking back!

How to get the $156 Adobe Black Friday discount, even for existing subscribers

by 3 Comments

Adobe has a great sale for Black Friday. They are selling their all-apps subscription that usually costs around $52.99/month for only $39.99/month. No doubt that this is a great bargain, but there is a caveat. This deal is only available to new customers. If you are already an Adobe customer, you would have to keep paying your usual $52.99.

There is a way around this though, that lets you get the new price. But first, a word about newcomers get a discount sales. If you don’t care about that, just jump to the end of the post.

How to spend $1,000,000 on photography gear at B&H this Black Friday

by 3 Comments

While the world is looking for bargains today, we thought we’d look at the opposite end of the spectrum, the most expensive gear we could find on the B&H website this Black Friday. Our plan was to produce a setup that, if you won the lottery, you might actually consider buying. Gear that should work well together, and costs a ludicrous amount of money.

Can we actually spend $1,000,000 on photography gear? On a kit that could actually serve a useful purpose? I mean, sure, we could spend $233K on just one lens and adapt it to a Sony, but where’s the fun in that? Ok, scratch that, it does sound kinda fun, but it’s not exactly practical, is it? And that’s what we’re trying to look at here.

Artist photoshops the funniest Black Friday deals ever

by 4 Comments

These are actually from last year’s Black Friday sales, but they’re too funny to not share for those who missed them. Created by serial prankster Obvious Plant (AKA, Jeff Wysaki) these fake flyers were placed in Target last year to promote some pretty good deals.

Thinking about switching over to a standing desk for your photo editing? Want to create some Star Wars action scenes with miniatures? Why not check out Date Time R2-D2 and C-3P Fro. Need a runner to replenish memory cards and fetch spare batteries on your shoot? Well, spend over $75, and you’ll get a free falcon!

Black Friday is coming, Nikon, Canon and Sony are fighting for your money

With Black Friday just around the corner, the war for your money is heating up. All three major companies released initial discounts (some are only available until Wednesday).

Depending on how high on the money scale is the gear you’re buying the discounts can be quite significant. (percentage wise, most discounts range between 5% and 18%, though the Rebel SL1 goes 200$, all the way to 28%). Some of the companies will also throw in some freebies, like a memory card, a small tripod or an extra battery.

If you are considering getting a camera, this is definitely a good time to go shopping:
