What is your favorite piece of photographic equipment? Why? Why would anyone or everyone else want it? If possible, show a photo that demonstrates what this piece of equipment can do.
My favorite piece of equipment is my Circular Polarizer filter. I absolutely love the deep blue skies and contrasting white clouds I can get with this filter. Sure, you can do almost the same thing in editing, but that can become tricky, time-consuming, and affects the reds in your photos. Probably the best piece of equipment under $25 I ever bought.
I got no particular photo to show but I find my remote shutter release and tripod very convenient for family portraits and was overly used during these past holidays :D
A tripod, without a doubt. I love doing landscapes, especially when the light is low and it's impossible to use low ISO, narrow aperture, and slow shutter speed without one.
I got a 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 Macro/Telephoto zoom lens for Christmas. I love the heft of it (18.7oz), and I discover new things about it every time I use it.
I don't really have a lot so I'd probably have to go for my f1.8 50mm lens, my family all chipped together to get it for me last year for my birthday and I just love the portraits I get with it.
to add, the remote costs under $20
And the lens:
**my pics look jagged below for some reason....??
so instead i will say my sons , because they come up with so many fabulous ideas for me to shoot :)
