    That is some present and an excellent choice. A polarizing or enhancement filter would be my next purchase recommendation.

    Consider a monopod where a bottom attachment springs out like an umbrella facing downward. They are faster to use and look like a walking stick if you are hiking.

    a monopod is - at the very least a great intermediate step; far, far better than nothing
