Black Friday Deals for Photographers and Geeks: 2011

Posted: 24 Nov 2011 08:00 AM PST

I have relationships with a variety of vendors related to my interests and those of my readers, so if you’re also into things of the photographic, tech, or geeky nature you’ll find this interesting. Here’s a roundup of various Black Friday / Cyber Monday offerings that I know about. Most of these are limited-time deals.

Amazon.com

Amazon lumps their cameras and other photo gear into the Electronics category, and they have some good deals going on through the Black Friday / Cyber Monday period. Hit this banner to check out the latest Amazon Black Friday deals:

B&H Photo

Our buddies at B&H have put together a bunch of holiday specials that include some steep discounts as well as free shipping on selected items. Use the B&H Photo Holiday Specials link to get the good deals.

StudioPress WordPress Themes

I’m a big fan of using a premium WordPress theme in order to provide good design and usability on a WordPress-based website, and the folks at StudioPress have a lot of great themes to choose from. Based on their powerful Genesis framework, these themes are easy to install and configure and they provide good user-facing interfaces as well as behind-the-scenes benefits such as search engine optimization features.

StudioPress is running a weekend special: 25% off everything. Use the code THANKS at checkout and you’ll save 25% off of anything they offer, such as:

1. Get the Genesis Framework for only $45.

2. Snag most Genesis / design combos for a song and save close to $20.

3. Want it all? Get the StudioPress Pro Plus All-Theme Package. Get Genesis plus every design they've made, plus every design they make in the future, and save more than $74 off the regular price and over $875 off the retail price — and that’s just the existing 43 designs!

Be sure to use the code THANKS when you check out and you’ll save 25% on anything and everything at StudioPress.com.

ThinkGeek

ThinkGeek offers a variety of geeky merchandise with everything from shirts to tools to gaming paraphernalia. They have a special Black Friday landing page that can be reached by clicking the big graphic below, beyond which you can find great deals on things like the iCade iPad arcade cabinet, a Star Trek pizza cutter, or giant plush microbes!

Think Tank Photo

Think Tank Photo has an interesitng program on an ongoing basis; my readers can shop for Think Tank’s great camera bags, belts, and accessories and receive a free gift at checkout. They’ve recently updated their free gifts with a selection of eleven different items, including:

  • Large lens drop-in pounch
