Your favorite props

April 15th, 2011
I was perusing the bokeh thread (which is magnificent, and if you haven't already, go look now) and saw this photo by Bluebell. It absolutely took my breath away. I saw she experiments quite a bit with this crystal ball and with a framed mirror, which, of course, made me immediately start looking to buy these things myself. And then I wondered; what are your favorite props for photography? It's not so much the thing itself, but that using it makes your photos so much better or more interesting. What is always with you when you pull out your camera?

Since Monday, I have been playing with my macro filters! They have been great to have with the In the Garden theme.

@cfitzgerald Lovely shot! I am seriously considering seeing about getting a dSLR for my birthday next month just so I can play with things like macro filters. :)

Here's another example I thought of from someone else I follow; Rain Rubin did this with a remote-control flash.

@cytherisa wow, thankyou so much :) I think my favourite prop is obvious, this thread has made me want to go and play with the crystal ball again lol the mirror was fun to use as well.
