As an outdoor nature photographer, what is the one thing you should have with you besides your camera and lenses?  One of these SWEET chairs! 
This is probably one of the BEST purchases I made last year to assist me in my photography business.  They are called "camping chairs".  If you search for them at Lowes, Walmart, etc, this is how you'll find them -- just type in camping chair.  They come in a variety of styles.  The one I use is the exact one pictured above.  At the time I searched locally for them, Walmart had a similar chair for $29.95 and the price of the one above was $9.95 at Lowes.  Best 10 bucks I've ever spent!

I use this chair daily when photographing on my property.  It simply squeezes together and it's easy to carry.  At first I was hesitant that the canvas material would last - but it has, for almost a year now. The legs are made of heavy duty metal, and it's still in fantastic shape.  It has a cup holder, which is a great place for me to put my water bottle while I'm outside.  The chair also comes with a pouch with a handle - which is fabulous for taking it on hikes and nature treks, as you can easily carry it along with your camera gear.  When you find a spot you want to focus on, simply unfold the chair and sit -- it's that simple. :)

Now I can sit and photograph the birds -- after ten years of standing, this is quite a help to me.  And I like the green color of this chair because it helps me blend in with my natural surroundings easily.  So if you're looking for something new to help you in your photography this spring, this type of chair is a must have!
